§ * SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Convention between the United States and Newfoundland recently signed contains any fishery stipulations; and, if so, will he state their nature.
§ * THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (LORD CRANBORNE,) RochesterThere are no fishery stipulations in the Convention, unless the 1355 articles which give to United States fishing vessels the privilege of buying bait in Newfoundland water's, and provide for the disposal of the produce of Newfoundland fisheries in the United States, be considered in that light.
