Excellency: Referring to your note of the 14th instant, replying to the Department’s No. 101, of the preceding day, regarding the names of the British vessels, with their officers, composing the Bering Sea patrolling fleet for this season, I have the honor to inquire whether the information promised by His Excellency the Governor-General of Canada, in the telegram referred to in your note, has been received by your excellency.
The U. S. revenue steamer Wolcott is expected to sail for Bering Sea to-morrow, and it is desired, if possible, to telegraph its commanding officer full information regarding the British patrolling fleet.
