st. Johns, n F., Dec 24.-The New
foundland bait laws are being pro-
tested against by the French of ST.
Pierre who have allied themselves
with the Americans living on the is
lands. The pew shipping ordinances
gazetted in st. Pierre grant free
entry to vessels of all nationalities
bringing bait there, reduce to great
extend the tonnage dues on all YES
sells seeking bait and grant to Ameri-
cans the right to fish for herring in
the waters of st. Pierre on the con-
dition that one-third of the crews of
such vessels be composed OF st.
Pierre men. The declining prosper
ity of the French island is the reason
for these concessions. Owing to the
failing fishing industry more than one
thousands of the inhabitants of st.
Pierre immigrated to Quebec quite re-
