ST. Johns. n. F., Oct. l0.-The state

Newfoundland merchant fishermen con-
trolled the government, had tried to pre-
vent the Americans securing treaty rights
and had hampered the British govern
ment In assuring such rights 10 Ameri-

circles.
On the contrary. officials declare that
the British government strongly upheld
every contention advanced by Newfound
land until a few weeks ago when It sud
denly abandoned the colony and surren
dered 10 the Americans.
The colonial ministry has decided not
TO resign office, and II intends 10 fight
the latter 10 the bitter end. II will sus-
pend the regulations prohibiting the local
use Of purse seines. thereby putting the
colonies upon an equality with the Ameri-
can fishermen. II will dispatch the cruis-
ers Fiona and Neptune TO patrol the her
ring areas
All existing colonial laws will be rigidy
enforced against the Americans, and for
the least offence American vessels will be
confscated instead OF fined as formerly.

LONDON PRESS is INDIGNANT.
London, Oct 10.-The publication Of
the text OF thu Newfoundland modus
vivendi evokes strong editorial articles
this morning. The opposition newspapers
condemn the government for overriding
the wishes OF the colony in order TO con-
ciliate the United States, and declare that
the terms Of the arrangement fully jus
tify the intense Indignation expressed
throughout Newfoundland.
The Graphic describes the modus viven-
di as complete surrender TO Americac
and declares that to cIll such an agree
ment a "modus vivendr' is TO abuse the
term. The Standard and the Morning
Post also condemns the government for
not consulting Newfoundland before con-
Guiding such a one-sided agreement, and
the Morning Post Is Of the opinion that
this should convince Newfoundland that
the time has arrived TO merge with Can
ada.
