W. Gillis, 908 Canada’s Seizure of American Vessels. SECRETARY BAYARD TO SENATOR FRYE, In answer toa letter from Senator Frye, re- garding the action of Canadian officials towards American fishing vessels, Secretary Bayard has written thatthe late reprehensible action ot the Canadian officials in relation to American fishing vessels hus occurred in re- mote localities without telegraph facilities or postal communication, and consequently there hus been delay, regretable, but unavoidable, in receiving consular reports. But your (the enator’s) assumption ‘that this department is giving the matter such consideration as its importance demands,’ will, I believe, be fully sustained when the ‘proper time arrives for publication of its action. “I trust Lam_ properly conscious of my duty as an official charged with the execution of delicate and important public functions, and that the interests and honor of my country and the rights of its citizens will not be fouid to hate sutfered at my hands.” Saturday Night’s Storm. DAMAGES BY LIGHTNING IN THIS CITY AND VICINITY. ‘The severe thunder storm which visited this city at midnight Saturday did considerable in the way of small damage, but no serious dam- age is reported. The storm played havoc with telephone and telegraph wires. The flagstaff on the O street market was shattered. ‘The roof of a house on H street, near 3d street southwest, was struck by lightning but not seriously dam- aged, and the fourth precinct police station was also Struck. Throughout the city trees and tele-. graph poles were damaged by wind and light- Hinz. ‘The rain-fall was very heavy. On the conduit road, between the Seven Locks and the lub house, twenty telegraph poles were shiv- ered by the lightning. At Cropley’s brick yard 4 provision store was struck and burned, ‘The hay barracks of Robert Weaver, on the conduit roud, were struck by lightning and totally de- stroyed, ¥REAKS OF THE LIGHTNING, During the violence of the storm at midnight on Saturday, the lightning struck a three-story brick on 22d street (807), formerly rented by the Navy department, for publishing the Nau- tical Almanac, but at’ present the residence of @ Mrs. ‘Templeton, The electric fluid 1d. harmlessly along the home ot the Rey.
