NEWFOUNDLAND’S RESENTMENT. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. ST. JOHN, February 14. (Received February 15, at 8.30 a.m.) Sir B. Bond (Premier), in tlie Newfoundland Assembly, fiercely assailed Lord Elgin’s modus vivondi. a policy sacrificing colonial interests without the colony’s consent. [Public indignation in Newfoundland is due to the Imperial Government having concluded a treaty with tho United States for regulating the 1306 fisheries -season without consulting the colony. There was great disgust and much heated language among tbo colonists, who held that tho Mother Country had weakly yielded to American insistence. .Mutual concessions are now being made.]
