The steamers G.. r. Bishop and

fore midnight.
There are four GOLFERS discharg-

Wrestler, the bark Margaret, and
the ships Topgallant and Morning

wait few days longer before she

their department, while Chief Off
Ger J. Hilo, with the aid of ship
wrights, is attending to the re-
pairs in the other departments of

lulu on the following day. The

in the stream.
OTTAWA, Ont, July 12.--In Off
cial circles the seizure of the
steamer Coquitlam off the Alaskan
Coast by the United States cruiser
Corwin is regarded as likely to lead
to further complications between
Canada and the United States. Sin
John Thompson, Minister of Jus.
tice, stated to a correspondent that
while there were certain customs
regulations of the United States
which gave jurisdiction within q
radius of twelve miles from the
shore, such authority only applied
to the vessels of the United States
and not to foreign vessels, as in the
case of the Coquitlam, seized ii
waters outside of the three mile
limit, but within the twelve mile
limit, over which the officer of the
Corwin claimed Jurisdiction.
