An Order-in-Council has been passed putting into operation the modus vivendi regarding the fisheries, which was arranged at Washington in February last. licenses will be placed’ in _ the hands of Collectors of Customs at the various ports in the Mari- time Provinces to whom a circular has been issued advising them that the modus vivendi is in force, and _ instructing them to issue licenses to all American fish- licenses will be in triplicate, one copy to be held by the ayplicant, the others to be filed in the Fisheries Department | here. The circular calls attention to| two important points to be remembered, | by American fishermen holding a} license to foreign ports. First, the license | confers no right to fish or to prepare to fish | in Canadian waters is issued, subject to a due observance of all customs and other laws of Canada. Second, American fishing vessels holding such license and entering the bays and harbors on the Atlantic coast of Canada or of Newfoundland for any of the four purposes named in article one of the Convention of 1818 and not remaining therein more than twenty four hours, shall not be required to enter or clear at the Custom House, provided that they do not communicate with the shore. An arrangement has been made with the Government of Newfoundland by which Canadian licenses will be recognized in Newfoundland ports and vice versa, thus obviating the necessity of securing licenses from both governments. The Department of Fisheries are ad- vised that already a number of applica- ticus for licenses have been received, thus indicating that American fishermen are ready to give practica] effect to the modus vivendj. Lieut. Gordon, who succeeds Captain Scott, has left for the Maritime Provinces. In addition to the cruiser Dream, which has been on service all winter, the Vigil- ant and La Canadienne have been placed in commission, and other cryisers will be brought inte service as required.
