VALIDITY cf Nobto fi'LFbt.
OTTAws, ONT., March 12.--An important
point has presented itself as TO the validity Of
the modus yiyendi concerning certain priYi-
leges as American fisherman in Canadian WA
ters At the conference held here yesterday
between representatives from tho Maritime
Province and the Government Sir John
Thompson pointed out that even had Canada
not protested against the ratification Of the
Bond Blaine treaty the British Government
could not legally have gone behind the treaty
Of 1878 and ratified the treaty by which New
foundland permitted United States fisher
men 10 enter the waters of that colony to
purchase bait until the British Parliament
had passed statute giving effect 10 the
treaty. II is now contended in certain quar-
ters that on the same principle the mere rati-
fication by the British Government does not
legalize the statute passed by Canada giving
effect to the modus vivendi. By which against
the stipulation of the treaty OF 1918 Canada
comedies 20 the United States fishermen the
right in Canadian waters to buy bait and
tranship cargo. ID is probable that atten-
tion having been drawn to the matter the
question Of the value of the Canadian modus
yiyendi will be the subject of discussion in
Parliament here.

Lord Salisbury and Secretary Blaine on the
subject of the Behring sea fisheries. The
Government. while not questioning Lord
Salisbury's refusal to continue the modus
yivendi, processes not % be responsible for His
Lordships attitude in fact it was not known
that Lord Salisbury had taken the position
revealed in the dispatches. The United states
authorities assume that Canada dictated the

If the Ottawa story be correct the retaliatory
