THE SEIZURE OF THE AJAX.
an Explanation OF the Incident by
the Canadian Government.

The Canadian Government. in a commu-
nication received at the state Department
through the British Embassy today, ex-
plains that the seizure Of the wrecking tug
Ajax, owned by the Moran Bros. Of Seat
Ie Wash. By. the sub Collector Of customs
at Nanaimo. British Columbia. was made
for the reason that the Ajax was engaged
. in wrecking operations in waters not con
tisious to the United States.
AT agreement between the United States
and Canada. proclaimed in 1898. provided
that vessels of the UnTIeG States might
engage in salvage operations in Canadian
waters contiguous TO the United States
and that Canadian vessels should have
the same privilege in contiguous Aneri-
can waters.
1t is believed that the State Depart
uent is prepared TO admit the Canadian
contention that Rayner Bay, where the
seizure was made. is not within the def
milton of waters contiguous to the United
States, it being more than hundred
miles from the international boundary.
In considering the matter the depart
n1eet has had in mind the insisteuce that
Rayner Bay being contiguous to United
States territory would permit Canadian
vessels to engage in unrestricted salvage
operations on the coast OF washington.
Before sending the Ajax 10 Rayner Bay
the Moran Bros. made enquiries Of the
Treasury Department as to their right
to salvs in Canadian waters. and were
led to believe shat they would not be vio-
lating any law on account Of the agree
ment proclaimed in 1893 In view Of this
understanding. il is likely that the Ca
madam Government viii not confiscate
the AJAX or impose a fine. It is said that
the Nerans can be prosecuted on the ad-
dftional charge of bringing foreign con
tract labor into Canadian territory, the
crew Of the Ajax being American citizens
