date, stating that you had dispatch from
Eastport, Maine, that American boats after
herring for sardines at st. Andsews, n. B.,
were driven away by the Dominion cruiser
Middleton, with the announcement that no
American boats will be allowed to take
herring for any purpose; and 20 this you
invoke the immediate attention of the De-
partment. In June last you called at this
department. in company with Senator
Hale, of Maine. and then drew my
attention to similar threat, or inter
ference. with the purchase of small
herring fer canning, as sardines. from
Canadian waters. On the same day | made
repI esentaiion of the alleged threats to
the British Minister at this, capital, and
drew Lis attention to the alleged violation
of lawful commercial intercourse between
British subjects in Canada and citizens of
the United States. Twas In hopes that fur
ther interference with recognised and legit-
innate trade would be prevented, buk will
again address the British Minister upon
the subject. 1t will assist materially in all
such cases of alleged violation of CONNER
cial rights if accurate and full statements of
all facts in each case are presented and for

and many sensational statements would be
thus disposed of, and a tangible basis be
laid for claims for compensation by injured
parties"
