fore her armorplate for the vertical tar
ret is finished, and its absence will be

Captain Shepard, in charge of the
revenue marine bureau of the treasury
department, has not yet received con
firmation from any of the revenue cut
ters in Bearing sea of the reported arrests
of British and American sealers by a
Russian man-of-war for illegal sealing
in the neighborhood of the Seal islands,
still owned by Russia in the Behring
sea, and leased to the AlatkaCorumercitw
Company. That the arrests were made
more than three milej from shore ia not
doubted. The occurrence will have a
pointed bearing upon two of the ques
tions to be arbitrated upon, viz: What
exclusive jurisdiction . in the sea now
known as the Behring sea, and what
exclusive rights in the seal fisheries
therein did Russia assert and exercise,
prior and up to the time of the cession
of Alaska to the United States, and
second, how far were the terms of juris
diction as to the seal fisheries recognised
and conceded by Great Britain
I ing the 20-cent tolls to be imposed in
, accordance with the terms of the Presi
dent's proclamation on and after Sep
tember 1 on all Manitoba wheat shipped
through the St. Mary's canal, are pro-
King to ship in Canadian bottoms from
ninth to Port Huron, to be trans
shipped from that point by the Grand
Trunk line through Canada. This mat
ter being brought to the attention of the
Treasury Department, Assistant Secre
tary Spanlding has sent the following
special telegram to the solicitor ol the
Grand Trunk at Detroit, Mich. : "Nei
their Manitoba nor domestic wheat can
be carried in Canadian bottoms from
Duluth to Port Huron, as it would be in
violation of our coasting laws ; bat, if
carried in American bottoms, it is not
subject to tolls. If carried through the
canal from Dulnth to Sarnia for con
sumption in or export from Canada via
Montreal or any other port, it would be."
