The Secretary OF State report. that the
government has no otiic;d notice that the
Canadian government is going to take
stringent measures with American fisher
men, but on learning that such measures
might be adopted, a small naval steamer
has been directed to be sent to the fishing
grounds for the purpose of warning and

are going to try what effect curtailing our
fish will have upon our notions of recipro-
