REFUSES
TO RESCIND
His Order Against Pelagic
SealerS.
Foolish FOmenting of Trouble
With Canada.

WAsnrSaroN Feb. 27.-Some time
ago the Secretary Of the Treasury re-
ceived unofficial information to the
effect that J. w. Ivey, Collector OF
Customs at sitka, had instructed bis
deputy at Unalaska not to permit
Canadian vessels, presumably about to
engage in pelagic sealing, to obtain sup
plies at that port. The Collector was
directed to send statement OF the facts
to the department and was informed
that il such orders had been given, they
must he rescinded. Today the depart
ment received a telegram from the
Collector saying:
"My instructions were not against ves-
sells in alleged legal seal fishing, but
against Canadian vessels actually en-
gagged in pelagic sealing, which is illegal
and criminal when committed within the
marine jurisdiction Of the United States
/ II there is an ancient treaty between the
United States and Great Britain by
which British subjects can commit dep
relations and destroy American pro-
perty and deplete the revenue Of tens OF
thousands Of dollars annually, while our
own citizens are denied these privileges,
the sooner such treaty is abrogated the
better.
Your soicitude regarding internation-
al combinations with Great Britain need
cause you no uneasiness, as the poach-
ing season is not opened, Your new
Collector will arrive in time to enforce
your orders. My Americsnism will not
allow me to rescind an order which gives
British subjects privileges within our
marine jurisdiction which are denied our
own people.
"There may be another matter that
attract your attention. | have recently
Issued orders to the deputy at skagway,
a copy of which was sent you, which has
put the Canadian officer located there
o 1t Of business and sent him to his own
territory. You are aware OF the fact that
this officer became 80 offensive that he
interfered with American officers in the
discharge Of their official duties, opened
United States customs mail, dominated
over the railway officials Disseminated
in the order OF shipment in favor
Of Canadian merchandise against that
shipped from Seattle, established Can
adian quarantine at Skagway, collected
money and performed other acts, of
British sovereignty in port OF the
United states, such as hosting with
bravado the cross Of ST. George from the
flagstaff Of his custom.house. | have
sent the concern, bag, baggage, flag and
other paraphernalia, flying out of the
country. You may fear the shadow of
international complications and rescind
this order, but Reed, an Olney or a
Blaine would not"
