WAsHINGToN, Sept. 13.-The dispatch from
Ottawa, Ont, stating that Canada has made 4
demand, through the British minister at
Washington, for the instant and uncondition-
al release Of the Canadian sealing vessels cap
turcd by the United States revenue cater in
Alaska waters, carries its own cont ADDICTION
on its face. The Canadian government does
not treat directly with the United States, nor
has ii any authority TO use the British minis
ter here as its diplomatic agent. The Cana.
dian government, powerful as it ssumos it,
self TO be In the waters Of the Dominion, Is a
colonial dependency Of Great Britain. If it
has any complaint to make OF the United
States with respect to the action OF the reve-
nue. cutter Corwin In Alaskan waters, its only
course will be to make this cause of complaint
known to the British foreign office, which can
alone communicate with the United States Oh
the subject.

brought to a head when the president and
Secretary Manning met in Albany next week,
on which occasion il would be discussed in all
its bearings. Nj. Fairchild expressed much

WASHINGTON, Sept. lS.-Minister DENLY at
Pekin has reported to the secretary OF state
two cases of recent outrages perpctrated by
Chinese on Americans. The Rev. A.. A. Full
ton and wife and Miss Mary Fulton, all Of
the Presbyterian mission to China, established
a mission hospital and station at Kirai, Ping,
about 400 miles southwest from Canton.
When they had expended a considerable sum
in putting up buildings placards appeared on
the walls declaring that the foreign devils
must 90 in three days and their buildings be
destroyed.
Literati as usual was at the bottom of the
disturbance. A crowd gathered near the hos
pital, and Mr.. Fulton set out to secure the
protection of the militia. He was stoned on
his way and not permitted to return, and no
soldiers were sent to protect the mission.
On May 9th the mob piled straw and fag-
gots against the building occupied by Mrs.
and Miss Fulton and ne little daughter Of
the former, upon which the inmates fled and
the house was looted and burned. The ladies
sought refuge on the boats, but the mob
threatened to destroy the boat that should re-
ceive them, and after some delay they reach
cd the point where Mr.. Fulton had been com
PEELED 10 remain. Two days later they were
put Oh boats and conveyed to Canton. The
value Of the property destroyed Is about So
800 and Consul Seymour is pressing a demand
for the payment Of this amount in damages.
The second case is of still more recent date.
OnSunday, June q, in the absence OF all the gen
tlemen connected with the Methodist Episco.
only one lady was present a mob collected
broke down the gates, threw stones at the
lady, one Of which cut ope" nor index finger
its entire length. while s. VA otherwise in
jured about the head ali a N. Complaint
was made to the officials but the matter was
treated lightly.
