FISHING NEGOTIATIONS ON.
Question of Use of Purse Seines In New
 foundland Waters.

St. Johns, N. F, Sept. 21.-Repre- sentatives of the American, British and Newfoundland governments are nego- tiating a modus vlvendi regarding the winter herring fishing about to open on the coast of Newfoundland.
 The Americans claim the right to use purse selns, which are forbidden by the laws of Newfoundland because of the destructive effect of the appliances. The British government, 1t is under stood qualifiedly admits the justice of the colonial protest that the use of purse seines threatens a depletion of the herring schools
 American Commissioner Alexander suggests a compromise by which the American fishermen would be accorded the same privileges heretofore en- joyed by them.
 Should the Newfoundland government be unwilling to concede this point it Is feared that the British government will conclude an agreement with the Amer jeans over the heads of the colonial commissioners.
