CANADIAN SEALERS.
FITTING CUT TO Leave for Behring sea

itfffBs tut 10 Leave ior benrIus zen
OTTAWA. ONT, May 3s.-The govern
ment here has been advised that large
number Of Canadian sealers, which for
some time past have been fitting
out at Victoria. b. c., will leave
in few days for Behring
sea. a number of Nova Scotia
sealers. encouraged by the success Of
the Pacific coast vessels last season in
avoiding capture by United States rev.
enue cutters. are bringing in their veg
sells around Cape Horn with 6 view TO
capturing fat seals within the limits of
the preserve claimed by the Americans.
A prominent government official
speaking TO a reporter, said that there
was little doubt that Canadian sealers
would make efforts to hunt in Beher-
iugs sea despite the Presidents pro-
clemation and the presence OF
American war vessels. The Bri-
tish men of war he said
would not make any move towards
preventing the departure Of these yes
sells. as by doing 50 they would in a
measure be countenanciDg the claims OF
the Americans to exclusive sovereignty
in TIE disputed waters. On
the other hand. if any Canadi' a
sealers are taken by American war
ships the British vessels will not try to
recapture, as that would be the signal
for open hostlities. The presence Of
tue British war vessels will simply be
to see that no Outrages are committed
