What Gloucester Fishermen Say.
II__i.ir..x, March 2.V.
A hundred Crofters, defying tho proprie ors.
took possession of a doer park, near Stornaway,
in the Lowes Islands, with the intention of rebuilding their former homes.
The Portuguese have declared a state of selge In
Mnnlc&Iand, in South Africa; it la part of the territory claimed by the British South African Company. The relations between the two countries
.ire strained.
Gloucester fishermen approve of the Newfoundland bait regulations, and regard them as unfavorable to the French.
A deputation of British merchants, trading In
Newfoundland, waited on W. H. Smith, urging
him to delay Knutsford bill, imith said that the
case was urgent, but he. would delay the second
reading of the bill twenty-eix days from the date,
of first reading.
