London, April 10, 1894.

Yesterday I again impressed upon British minister for foreign affairs injustice and objection able nature of provision requiring previous notice to sealing vessels. Last night in debate attorney-general said clause had been entirely misunderstood in the United States, and declared imperial obligation was imposed on Great Britain, and if Canada should not consent still Imperial Government would loyally carry award info effect.
