Cleveland Fishermen To be Watched
by n Revenue Cutter.

CLEVELAND. July 81. - The United
States revenue steamer Perry has been
ordered to this port Immediately 10 as
sist the collector. who is very much in
earnest that the fishermen within the
limits OF his district pay a OF cent
per pound on all fish caught in Cana
dian waters. These fishermen have
within the last few days left for their
fishing grounds and returned with their
fish. paying not the least attention to the
custom louise. and in asserting that they
do not fish in Canadian waters they yir-
tually admit that they are defying the
laws Of Ohio. as fishing in the lake at
this season OF the year is forbidden.
The revenue cutter will now keep
close watch over the fishermen.
