No. 157.]

My Lord: In view of a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury of the 18th instant, I have the honor to request that I may be furnished, for his use, with a list of the sealing vessels of the British Columbia sealing fleet to which were given special licenses during the years 1894 and 1895.

Asking that this matter may be expedited as far as lies in your power to do so, I have the honer, etc.,

Alvey A. Adee,
Acting Secretary.
