MORE TROUBLE WITH CANADA
Seizure of Her Fishing Vessels by Uncle
Sans Revenue Officers.

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. s.-The
recent seizure of several Canadian
fishing vessels by the revenue launch
Guard, in the vicinity of Point Rob-
erts and Blaine, for fishing in Ameri-
can waters has raised some intricate
points in international law. 1t is
claimed that there is no law which
prohibits foreign vessels from fishing
in American waters, and under this
claim the British embassy at Wash
ington made a demand on the United
States government for the release of
the vessels.
The case was referred here for inves-
tigation, and the revenue officers say
the vessels were seized for landing
nets in American waters without COM
plying with the customs laws by en-
tering their certificates. This explana-
tion was not satisfactory and United
States Counsel Smith, at Victoria, has
been ordered to proceed to Point Rob-
erts and Blaine Immediately for the
purpose of making a thorough inves-
tigation and report without delay to
the department

Preliminary Steps.

New York, Aug. SIN response to
call issued some time ago by the
Central Federated union, 211 delegates
representing 105 labor organizations
met last night in Clarendon hall to
consider the advisability of forming a
permanent labor political party. Presi-
dent Samuel Prince, of the Central
Federated union, acting under the in
structions of that body, called the meet
ing to order at 10 o'clock. He an
nounced Secretary John S. Henry, of
the Central Federated union, as chair
man, and Henry called attention to the
recent strikes in this city and told the
delegates to Remember how you have
been treated" and reminded them that
they have the remedy in their own
hands if they see fit to use 1.-THE
ballot.
Joseph Barondess, of the tailors,
leader of a score of strikes. made a
passionate appeal for Immediately or
ganization. why should we longer
waltz" he asked. ITO have more jails
filled and more indignities heaped
upon us? 1 tell you the time to act is
now. Tammany hall sent me to prison
and the capitalists sent that heroic
leader Eugene V. Debs to a prison cell
for your rights. But the time to end
it all is here, and labor must strike.
Now is the time, New York is the
place. ORGANIZED" Barondess was
loudly cheered.
The proposition to form a perman-
ent organization was that submitted
to a vote, and the following officers
were elected: Chairman, William J.

walking delegates and of the Granite

ters in the Standardization romance

counter bill and opposition to the hus-
bands plea for divorce now seem as

Carlton was in comparatively humble
circumstances. 1t is said that they
agreed to keep the affair secret until
he was financially able to support his
wife in an appropriate manner. About
three months ago she insisted that the
time was ripe for the final reunion, but
he had become very much attached to
a young woman of Colorado Springs,
Colo, and his love for his wife lad evi-
IDENTIFY waned.
Mrs. Carlton finally decided that the
world should know her real name and
publicly announced the marriage. She
is said to have retained the best di-
vorce lawyer in northern Illinois and
will apparently file cross bill claim

cording to mutual understanding and

Waterways Commission Holds 1t To BE
Perfectly Practicable, but Doesn't Care
to Say How Much 1t Will Cost-Data
Collected Now Being Worked Up into a
Report for Congress to Study Over and
Act Upon.
Detroit, Aug. S.-Chairman George 1.
Wisner and Colonel Charles w. Ray
mond, of the Deep Waterways COM
mission, arrived down from Sault Ste.
Marie last evening, where they had
been making data for estimates of the
cost of constructing new and larger
lock with depth of thirty feet, and of
deepening portions of the st. Mary's
river. Estimates of these improve
ments will be included in the report
which the commission is preparing for
submission to the war department, and
eventually to congress. Colonel Ray
mond continued eastward to his post
at Philadelphia.
No Question of Practibability.
Speaking of the progress of the work
of demonstrating as to the feasibility
of and estimating the cost of a deep
water channel from the lakes to the
Atlantic ocean Wisner stated to an As
sociated Press reporter that the data
ment two years ago is being rapidly
compiled in this city by the principal
engineers who made the investigations
in the field. He anticipates that the re-
port of the commission will be made
by January. There is no question Wis
ner said as to the practicability of con-
structing the waterway, and with am
pie supply of water for the depth re-
quired. 1t will rest with congress as to
whether the requirements of commerce
between the northwest and the Allan
tic will justify the expenditure.
Declines to Guess at the Cost.
Wisner would hazard no opinion yet
as to the probable cost of a channel,
either by way of the Oswego-Mohawk
or the st. Lawrence-Champlai route.
The commissions estimates will be for
channels of twenty-one and thirty feet
depths, anu will include the features
Of deepening the rivers connecting the
great lakes where necessary in conec-
ton with the general scheme. The
question of regulation of lake levels
must also be taken into consideration.

signed by Buedcamino. 1t has been re-
ceived by all foreign consuls at Manila
with request that they for ward it to
the respective governments.
The Filipino Arguments.
The Filipinos use the old argument
that they conquered the sovereignty of
the islands from Spain before the sigrx
ing of the treaty of Paris. Therefore
Spain was in no position to cede them
to the United States. They repeat
the claim that they have letters from
American cousuls and generals rec
ognizing their sovereignty and prom
ising that the Americans would recog-
nize their independence. (which was
at the disposition of the powers"
They attempt to make capital of
the statemeDt that Dewey had such
confidence t.iat Aguinaldo would OBJ
serve and fulfill the rules of war that
he gave him 100 Spanish prisoners
which the American navy captured.
