the river was frozen and all the ves

.Meanwhile a receiver was appointed
for the Atlantic Trahsportatiuii Com

back in l 'ieveland. When the river

'I he owners uf the x'esscl offered to

against them, but the captain refused!
to trive up the ship. Instead he barri
caded the schooner and prepared for
war.
The < anadian Government refused
to act, because the schooner had an
American register. Attempts made
through this Government to got Marks
to yield, failed. Then ilie t'nited
Slates consul asked for authority from
the (.anadian Government to act on
his oxvu score iu arresting .Marks. The
Government consented, but the t'nited
Slates »ioverninent objected until the
owners uf the vessel should give bond
to indemnify the consul.
This has been done and orders have
gone forth from Washington and <• t
