THE ELLA NE. DOUGHr1 SEIZED 1 Another American Vessel Captured in Canadian Waters-Much Indignation Among the Yankee Fishermen Over The Affair.
 WASHINGTON, May 1.-The State depart 1 ment is unofficially informed of the seizure o1 | the Ella N. Doughty of Portland, another American fishing vessel, by the Canadian 1 authorities at St. Anns, 0. B.
 PORTLAND, Me, May F. The seizure of the schooner Ella M. Dough ty has been the topic here to-day. Fisher men have crowded the office of Sargent, Lord & Skillings, the owners. There is intense indignation aNd great excitement. s'It is not right" said an old captain, Ito have the Canadians seizing our fishermen and our government letting their fishermen come here and fill up in peace." ''Turn about is fair play" said another. Captain Johnson, who is 104 years old and was in the war of 1872, said: ''We went to war once for sai lors rights and we can go to war again for fisher mems rights.'' There is a universal senti- ment among the fishermen here in favor of retaliation. O. B. Whitten, secretary of tn e Portland fish exchange has telegraphedG. Hale of Gloucester, president of the New England fishing union, and also Hon. Charles Levi Woodbury of Boston, stating that the Ella M. Doughty had permit to touch and trade, in spite of which she was seized. ''An my vessels have these permits,' said Mir. Whit ten, "and have vessels fishing on the banks which may be compelled by stress of weather to put into Canadian ports. They were all supplied with bait before starting." The ex- citement is so great that meeting will prob ably be called at the Fish Exchange to-mor- row to adopt strong protest to be sent to Washington. Sargent, Lord 6 Skillings will do ali in their power to recover their vessel. Beside telegraphing the fact of the seizure to Secretary Bayard and Senator Frye they have sent the following letter to Senator Frye with copy of the permit on which they relied: Hon. William P. Frye, Washington:

 eff this permit means anything" said the firm, Git means what it says, and we hold that the United States government must stand back of us and make our loss good. We did not instruct Captain Doughty not to call at Canadian ports for bait, having been told that all we had to do was to take out the permit" Some parties advocate the holding of public indignation meeting in the City Hall They say all the fishermen want is fair play. Fault is found with Secretary Bayard for not talk ing more decided stand at first. Following is the crew of the Ella NJ. Doughty: Warren A. Doughty, captain; John Bishop cook, Levi Alexander, William Smith, John Holmes, Freeman w. Johnson, George Laron, Charles Bolton, Joseph Rob inson, Jesse A. Barker, George Burgess, Henry Lawrence. Captain Doughty has been in the employ of this firm for eight years and they call him the best captain that sails out of this port, one who always had his pick of men. They scout the possibility of his having made blunder.
