ADMIRAL LUCE'S CIRCULAR, for the guidance of American fishermen who frequent Northern waters, states the terms of the treaty of 1818, and, guided by the grounds on which selzures have recently been made, strongly recommends masters to report to custom-house, or cruiser officers, immediately on arrival in port not to allow the crew to traffic with the people on Shore, and if seized to make no statement to any person except a consular agent, and that should done as soon as the vessel is taken. He says it 4s bad policy to allow sails to hang over the taff- Tail, as{t looks as though the name or place of hail was being. purposely concealed, He sum- marizes the decision of Chief Justice Young in the J.

SECRETARY WHITNEY'S MESSAGE. ‘The Secretary of the Navy took official cogni- zatice of the matter by sending the following mes- sage by cable yesterday to Admiral Luce: Admiral Luce, Halifax, Nova Scotia: I assume that your application to Capt. Scott was not for the purpose of obtaining from’ him an exposition of the law, but to enable our fishermen to know the extent of the Canadian claim, and thus avoid difficulties if they should 80 choose. ‘This 1s not quite clear from your report, and it would be bet- ter to issue no more circulars, ané withdraw such as are within your reach. Capt. Scott is not un- derstood to be the agent of his government for any Such purpose as that for which you have em. ployed him, and it he were the application might h more properly be made to our own Government, in case a correct statement of the Cunadian claim is desired, W. C. WHETNEY, Secretary of the Navy.

AN EXPLANATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRI- CULTURE. An Associated Press dispatch from Louisville, Ky., dated yesterday, states: “The July report of the Agricultural Bureau at Washington, under the management of Commissioner Norman L Colman, has stirred up tobacco interests all over the State. ‘The report puts the tobacco crop at 82 per cent of an average, while it is well known to all who have paid any attention to the matter that it cannot be more than half so large. ‘The Loutsville ‘and Hopkinsville boards of trade have protested against this report as exceedingly hurtful to the tobacco, interests generally, and to the farmer especially. Resolutions have already been drawn ‘up and adopted setting forth in effect the known facts.” In the absence of the Commissioner, a Star re- porter called to-day on Mr. » the statistician Of the department, and asked him for his opinion Of the dispatch. He stated that the dispatch mis- States the figures of the preliminary report on the tobacco area; that the average 82 refers, not to the Kentucky area, nor even wo the Western. area, Dut to that of the’ whole country, including thé cigar-leat States (those of the North), and that the investigation now in progress by the depart heat will Settle authoritatively the question of shortage of tobacco area.
