FRANCE GIVES UP
NEWFOUNDLAND
Britain Secures Recognition Of
Long Standing Claim to
Territorial Rights.

Paris. March 1S.-Great Britain has
secured the recognition of ar claims
regarding Newfoundland 1by the
French government, according to Of
fetal statements. This is Ehe only
colonial issue which has advanced to
a definite conclusion, altho the nego-
tiations relative to Morocco, Egypt
and Siam promise early conclusions
similar to those in the case of New
foundland.
The differences over Newfoundland
are Of long standing, Great Britain
claiming that the French right to oc-
cupy strip of Newfoundland shore
without payment of taxes and without
being subject to Newfoundland laws vs.
has prevented the proper exercise OF
provincial authority. It is understood
that the French territorial rights are
relinquished, but the rights Of OIL
shore fishing are retained, thus per-
hitting Newfoundland to exercise au-
thority turnout the island.
Concerning Morocco, it is expected
that the negotiations will result il
giving France a free hand in north
west Africa, thus permitting the de-
lyelopment and extension Of the French

Special to The Journal.
Omaha, Neb., March 18.-Editor
Richard l.. Metcalf of the World-Her-
aid announces that he is not a candi-
date for delegate to the democratic
national convention and will not ac-
cept an election. He bases his an
nouncement on the argument that
"the men who are engaged in the eff
fort to have the democrats Of Ne
braska repudiate Mr.. Bryan seek by
various means to obscure the real is
sue, and it is a part of their plans
to make it appear that their fight is
not against Mr.. Bryan, but against the
proposition that be chosen as dele
gate.
The xannouncement follows immedi-
ately after the meeting Of the state
democratic committee at which the
reorganizers showed a strength almost
equal to the Bryan faction.

ROOF FALLS ON FIREMEN
INCENDIARY FIRE DAMAGES
SCHOOL AND SIX MEN ARE IN
JURED.

Chicago, March 1S.-Six firemen
have been severely injured in a fire
of supposed incendiary origin, which
burned the old Holden school build
ing. One man may not recover.
All the injured 1remen were on the
third floor Of the burning structure
when the roof fell in on them. The.
fire started on the third floor, and by.
the time the first engines arrived the.
entire upper part Of the building was
in flames.
It was feared the fire would spread
to the new school building adjoining.
which is twice the size of the burned
structure, but by hard work the
flames were confined to the upper
floors.
The old Holden school building was
erected at a cost of $4,000. The
new structure cost more than $780,
900. The new building was damaged
by water.

The Russian Minister'S Departure.

Toxic, Japan, Feb. 15.-The going
of Baron de Rosen, the Russian min
lister, had a pathetic side. He was
personally fond of the Japanese. Like
the French ambassador in Berlin in
1870, he had been a peace man.
Whether or not he, too, had informed
his country Of the enenly's prepared
ness, and been scoffed at for his pains
by his over-confident superiors, history
may not yet{relate. Weeks ago, when
reports came from Port Arthur that
Admiral Alexieff was convinced that
there would be no war, people here
