OTTAWA, September 29.-Some time since
the first demand for therelease Of the Cana

seized by the United States revenue cutter

British subjects from whatever quarter

THE delay in the demand IN the part Of
the British Government for the release OF
the British Columbia vessels seized for har-
vesting our seals is undoubtedly due to the
potent fact that those seals were dubbed
to death on land, and on our land. at that.
The evidence Of the clubbing is very con-
elusive. That establishes the perfect prop
riety Of the seizure by the Revenue cutter
