The Courier des Etats Unis has an important
arti:c upon Il subject which il treats half ironi.
calIy. The editor thinks that American sympa-
thies and feeling in behalf of Russia is likely to
be- calmed in consequence of Correspondence by
way of the Sandwich Islands, standing that very
grave difficulties were about to arise between
General Sawoika. the Governor of Kan,schaika
and of all ihe Russians establishments on. the
northern and northwestern coast Of America,
and the United States Consul at Novo, Arkan-
gucsk. (New Arclangel, We suppose.) The
New York Express, referring to the Courier's
article, says:
The French editor thinks this contest be-
tween Russian Governor and an American
Consul must necessarily create greatsenSation
at 81. Petersburg, and that it may lead 10 rup-
ture between the United States and Russia.
The difficulty on the northwest coast, rs on tho
northeast, seems to be one relative to the catch.
ING of fish right which on the northwest
coast the Courier argues for us WITS scaSeded to
the United States by Russia in the treaties of
1921, 1924 aud 1884, and which has been enfor-
ced by this Government from time immemorias
without let or hinderance of any kind.
"We are told, that on the lst of April last,
Gen. Sawoika, acting in virtue Of powers wbir,
he had received from his government, conceded
to powerful organized company the exclusive
right of fishing on all the North American coast
where the Russian government have possessions.
Over portion Of this extended coast the Cou-
rier tells u.s. the Russians have no shadow OF
claim. Gen. Sawoika, after making his exclusive
grants, announced 10 all the foreign consuls that
those who should not respect his acts, would
have their vessels seized and be fined $4,000
each. A notice to this end was given to an
American vessels in Silka Bay. The American
Consul protested, but the protest was unheeded,
which caused profound sensation.'
