their final prcscntmcnt on the 18th

the jury called attention to the very

'Somc action be taken which would
in the future prevent similar eases
from coming before them" In his
address to the grand jury Judge
Simonton endorsed their recon

Two british Columbia Vessels Armed Go

The news telegraphed from Port Town
send that a special messenger had arrived
from Washiugton with instructions for the
commanders of the United States cutters
to proceed to Behring sea and seize all
vessels found with any evidence of having
been engaged in seal fishing, causes great
indignation. At the same time comes the
story that the British squadron has been
ordered to rendezvous at Esquimsult. The
latter story brings peace 10 the minds of
some, but the majority OF British Colnm-
bians believe that no matter what acts OF
piracy may be committed by the Yankees,
the British warships viii not interfere.
II is known that the crews of all vessels
proceeding 20 the sealing grounds are fully
armed with view of resisting seizure, but
to-day story leaked out that two clipper
scbooners are being secretly fitted out in
Maple bay specially TO meet the Yankees.
IL is said these vessels win each carry
heavy swivel, besides two smaller Runs,
and, disguised as sealers, will tempt seizure
80 ~ 10 bring ON an encounter. Regard
ing the story Capt. Scott, the veteran
sealer, says the report no doubt was true,
but the matter had been kept secret. The
shippers OF two vessels In which he was
had armed their crews and had
sworn 20 20 to the bottom rather than sub
NIT to seizure.
