Washington, Dec 8.-Favorable action by congress on the recom- mendation of the president in his
 last annual message that an act be passed specifically providing for the naturalization of Japanese who come to the United States intending to be- come American citizens will go far to securing continuance of tradi- tional friendly relations between this country and Japan, in the opinion of Viscount Aoki. the Japanese am- bassador. "Of course.'' said Wis., count Aoki to-day. mo nation likes to see its subjects leave to take up a permanent abode in a foreign land and lose all relation with the father- land, but in many cases 1t cannot be helped
 The ambassador expressed the be- lief that there were not so many Japanese in this country to take ad- vantage of naturalization if it were granted, but he thought that such an opportunity should be afforded them along with the citizens of other countries. He said he did not think 1t probable that those Japanese who were emigrating in large numbers to Hawaii and the Pacific coast would avail themselves of naturalization, because of the fact that they repre- sented the poorer classes and most of them ultimately returned to Jap an. Viscount Aoki said he had every in the outcome of the test case which will be brought in the courts.

Wide Chasm Vel 10 Be Bridged Over Before Satisfactory
 Issue VIII Be Reached
THE MODUS vIvEvDI
The Attempt 10 Settle the Difficulty Was Commenced By Secretary Root More Than a
 Year Ago.

London, Dec S.-The correspon- dence between the state department at Washington and the foreign office here and that between Newfound- land and the colonial ofice, detailing the circumstances leading to the es- tablishment of the fisheries modus vivendl. was published here to-day. While the tone Is conciliatory 1t shows that wide chasm remains to be bridged. The dispatches com menced in October, 1905, with let ters from Secretary Root to Ambas- sador Durand, dated October 12 and October 19. asking for an early in- terview on the subject of the fisher ies and explaining at length the United States views of her treaty rights and urging that Great Britain take steps to secure the repeal of the Newfoundland laws conflicting there with. Foreign Secretary Grey. Teb- ruary 2 last, through Ambassador Reid, dealt at length with MT Roots observations and said he re- 8ICLtCu IudI u6 W 6o uudDi0 tO oooChI thereto without important qualifica- tions. Mir Reid notified Secretary Grey July 20 that Mir Root disagreed with several of his views and added:
 T am instructed to ask for such action as will prevent any interfer- ence on any ground by officers of the Newfoundland government with American fishermen when they go to exercise their treaty rights on the Newfoundland coast during the ap- preaching fishing season."
 Secretary Grey. replying August 14, said he observed with much re- gret that the wide divergence in the views of the two governments dis closed by the correspondence makes 1t hopeless to expect an immediate settlement" but he was ready to confer with the United States government with the view of arrang- ing a modus vivendi applicable only to the ensuing season.
 On September 12 MT Reid wrote Secretary Grey to the effect that the government of the United States "hears with the greatest concern" tudt tAS uiNCi 6ChSO oA NiSWS tShuCio m immediate settlement impossible" and suggesting the terms of the mo- dus vivendi These were accepted by Secretary Grey September 25 where upon Mir Reid was authorized to rati- fy them.
 All the communications of the state department to the foreign of- flee were forwarded by the colonial of1ce to the Newfoundland govern ment. The secretary for the colon- ies. Lord Elgin. repeatedly urged a modification and holding in abey- ance of the Newfoundland ordinances to which objection was taken and uneQuivocally notified the Newfound- land ministers that he was unable to assent to their view that the en- forcement of the fishing act of 1906 | was matter of purely local concern. and insisted strongly on the right of | the imperil government to intervene in questions touching the relations of the British empire with foreign states. Tn the last communication | published Newfoundland was still | deprecating the arrangement con- senting to the use of purse seines and the engagement of local fisher men for work on American boats.
