1.-THE simplicity but at the same time
the dignity at the White house was
very pleasing. It was exactly the house
and the surroundings that one con-
celve to be in keeping with republic
can institutions. There was neither
extravaganza nor ostentation, but
everything was in such quiet taste and
30 perfectly arranged that II was de-
llghtful. I shall always remember with
pleasure my dinner at the White house
and the very interesting conversation
enjoyed with the president.
"This is the first time believe that
British admiral has been received
by the president at Washington. Now
I should like to see an American pres
ident received by the king In London.
Such q meeting would be peculiarly
approprite as both the king and Pres
ident Roosevelt have rendered such
distinguished services to the cause Of
the worlds peace. l am sure nothing
would give greater pleasure to the
British people than to welcome the
president to the American republic on
British soil.

FISHERIES DISPUTE.
The Newfoundland Authorities and
American Vessel Owners Clash
Regarding Treaty Rights.

London, Nov. 3.--More interest Il
being taken in London in the New
foundland fisheries question since tn,
matter was brought before the British
government by Ambassador Whitelav
Reid. At the foreign office 1t wal
said Thursday that the government
thinks the United States is mistaken
as to some Of the facts, but the nego-
tiations are proceeding in the most
friendly manner with every prospect
of an early settlement. The Newfound-
land government has been instructed
to abide by the treaty Of 1918 and has
been informed that 1t has no right
to prevent American fishermen from
using the island ports.
st. Johns, N. F., Nov. 3.-Another
serious complication arose Wednesday
in the herring fishery situation at
Bay of Islands when the steamer Ac-
tive, carrying eight small boatloads Of
local fishermen, sailed with the inten-
ton of proceeding outside the three
mile limit and there transferring the
fishermen to American fishing ves-
sells on which they would ship men,
bers of the crews.
The colonial cruisers Fiona chased
the Active and threatened her with
seizure If she went beyond the tree
mile limit without clearance papers.
The Active thereupon returned. The
customs authorities refused to grant
clearance papers to the steamer except
for a bona fide voyge. The Americans
are indignant and threaten to appeal
to Washington for warship. The
British cruiser Latona is patroling the
bay to prevent collisions between the
rival fishermen.
Glucester, Mass, Nov. 3.-Up to a |
late hour Thursday night the Glouces-
ter vessel owners had received no ad-
vices regarding the active incident
from the Bay Of Islands. No Official
steps have been taken here toward
having an American warship sent to
the fishing grounds. Vessel owners
who were seen Thursday night express
ed the opinion that under Secretary
Roots Interpretation of the treaty Of
1918 the Gloucester captains have
right to ship Newfoundland fishermen
anywhere outside the three mile limit.
They further stated that they thought
Secretary Roots ruling should be back
