THE "FRENCH SHORE” QUES- : TION IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
Dr. Nieuwenhuys, a Dutch scientist who bas already twice crossed Netherlands Borneo from west to east, has just accomplished another ed question, the solution of which has been

The question con- did not depend upon traders and interpreters, ceras the disputed tights on what is known as whose aim was to further their own entls by the French Shore," the rights granted by putting the people of the land in a bad light. the Treaty of Utrecht, which transferred New Near the Sarawak frontier, the travelief fell in foundland from France to England, in 1713 to with the Kayan and Pniheng tribesmen, who French fishermen to catch "fish" off the French expressed a wish to come under Dutch rule. shore and "dry" them on land without being On the other The reason assigned was the trouble they had subject to local restrictions. from Dyaks living in Sarawak territory near hand, they are precluded from erecting the upper Mahakkan river.

This tribe seems to be the stock from which the inhabitants of mid and south Borneu during their stay to the business of fishing and have sprung. They cultivate the scii on a drying fish or to the repairs necessary for their tableland with a cool climate, obout 1800 feet vessels. The British colonists are placed under above the sea.

But, contrary to bargain which should give us undivided right the custom elsewhere in Borneo, they set the over our own colony.

terms of the treaties. The Newfoundland ers took up the ground unassailable in zoology, that the lobster is not a fish. The French rejoined, in effect, that when the states. men of 1713 spoke fish they had no idea of such distinctions between creatures taken from the sea for food. The Newfoundlanders argued that drying was one thing and canning quite another. The French rejoined that as drying' was to a cod so canning was to a lobster, and that what the Treaty meant to do was to give French fishermen the means of treating their take, whatever it was, so that it would keep till it went to market. Then there were added further disputes as to the logical implications and confiaries of the exegetical remarks of Kings and Ministers. Did the grant of special rights to French fishermen on the French Shore imply that English fishermen were on that shore not so exercise concurrent rights! Did it mean that if coal or gold were found under the French Shore the French right to erect stations for fish curing upon it would imply the negation of right in the Newfoundlanders to dig mines and build factories, which might or might not leave room for as many curing stations as the French fishermen might need? Here it will be seen are numberless sources of friction which at any moment might fore be removed as soon as possible by an precipitate a quarrel, and which should there.
amicable agreement between France and England. The question should really have been settled a year ago, but the Government of Newfoundland, not being desirous to throw any extra burden of anxiety on the Colonial Office at a time of anxious crisis in imperial affairs, agreed with the consect of all parties in the Island to the medus vivendi for another year.
The term of truce is now ended, and it remaina.to be seen what will be done to meet the urgent demands of the colonists for a speedy settle. ment. A Royal Comission has investigated the matter, and is said to have reported in favour of the Newfoundland contention, but nothing has been made public concerning any practi cal suggestions it may have made for effecting a settlement--- The Tablet.
THE HUNTING OF DE WET. (With Apologies in Mother Hubbard's Dog.) They circled him round with a cordon spread
wide,
And when they closed up he was dancing out-
side.
They ran to inform of his capture the Press, And when they caine back he had changed his
address.
They steamed to headquarters to furnish his
jail,
And couldn't get back, for he'd torn up the
rail. They cornered him tight in a well-devised
trap,
And found him conducting a British mishap. They sent a detachment to fetch hini away, And he asked the all in and constrained
them to stay.
They blew him to bits with superior forces, When they went to inter him he collared their
luirses.
.
They sat down to write his obituary quick, · And found he'd walked of with the portable
"Blick."
When last seen-soon after his finalest rout, He was thumbing bis nose with his fingers

THE SHAN-HAI-KWAN RAILWAY.
The Berlin correspondent of the London Mail, writing on the 7th January, says:
The Cologne Guzelle returns to the vexed question of the Shan-hai-kwan Railway, and reiterates the opinion that only the Russians had a sufficient number of railway engineers at their disposal in order to put the railway in working order at the time when it was required by the international forces. The companies of Ussuri railway engineers under Colonel Keller worked so well that traffic between Tang-ku and Tientsin could be resumed on July 19th
"No confirmation of this intelligence has hitherto been received (in Berlin. I presume) nor has any official intimation been made regarding the conditions which have been arranged between the Commander-in-Chief of the allied troops and the commander of the Russian contingent. But in view of what has previously taken. place we may assume that Count von Waldersee, who commands all the troops, and not only the German contingent, will assuredly not let himself be guided solely by regard for German interests, and that he will keep the negotiations clear of everything which is foreign to the sphere of purely military con- siderations One German' interest will certainly be borne in mind and will influence the Com mander-in-Chief. It is a German interest that the harmony of the Pawers should not be dis- turbed by questions of a subordinate character, and that the service in the occupied territory should be suitably arranged to the best advan: tage of all the allfed troops. We consider that this interest ought to be common to all the Powers, England included,"
It is to be hoped that when the Tsarhears of the true situation with regard to the Shan-hai- kwan Railway, which is the property of British investors, his Imperial Majesty's strong sense of justice will lead him to dictate an equitable settlement of a question which never ought to hayo arisen, The same may, perhaps, be an ticipated with reference to the interest British bondholders in the Shan-hai-kwan-Niu-chwang section of the line which is in accordance with the agreement negotiated by Sir Charles Scott in St. Petersburg, supposed to lie within the Russian commercial sphere. It is doubtless far better that negotiations between Great Britain and Russia should be conducted with -out any intermediary. At the same time the Commander-in-Chief has a certain re sponsibility for the conduct of all the international troops under his command. and England has a right to expect that his attitude towards the question of the Shanhai kwan Railway shall be precisely the same as if that line had been constructed, managed, and financed by Germans instead of by English men. if it had been a German rallway in the sense in which it may perhaps, be described * British one, would. Count von Waldersee Calmly have allowed material to be taken away wholesale by the Russians to mention only one grievance out of many.? One can imagine the precision and gravity with which Count ron Bulow or Baron von Richthofen would have defined the Garman commercial interests which had been affected, and the distinctnass with which they would have announced to the Reichstag that they were prepared to vindicate those interests with courtesy but also with firmness.
