A despatch from Paris says :-The
opinion hat been expressed in official
circles to a representative of the As-
sociated Press that the =otitis vivendi
between Great Britain and France
regarding Newfoundland will be ex-
te,ndeet fer another year., ,
There seems to be no disposition up-
on' the' part of France to take advan-
tilge of Great Britain's uncomfortable
situation in the Transvaal to force an
unfair settlement of a matter not re-
garded as vital. France is in the po-
sition of being willing to sell her fish-
ing rights, but she considers it 'proper
for Great Britain to make the first
proposition. Thus the matter 'stands
in abeyance., •
