FRANCE AND GREAT BRITAIN.
The Modus Yivendi Regarding the
Newfoundland Fisheries May
be Extended.

Paris, Jan. 4.-The opinion has been
expressed in official circles that the
Todus vivendi between Great Britain
and France regarding Newfoundland,
would be extended for another year.
There seems to be no disposition upon
the part of France to take advantage
of Great Britain's uncomfortable stu
alton in the Transvaal to force an un-
fair settlement of matter not re-
garded as vital. France is in the posi-
tior of being willing to sell her fish
ing rights, but she considers it proper
for Great Britain to make the first
proposition. Thus the matter stands
in allegiance.
