JAPANESE VESSEL SEIZED. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. COPYRIGHT. (Received July 17, 8.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, July 17. Advices from the Solomon Islands state that suspicions were aroused by the sudden appearance of a Japanese schooner named Adele. The captain, questioned as to his visit, replied, “We continue to look.’? The matter was reported to Mr. Woodford, the British Commissioner, who found the Adele at Utopia, seized her, and towed her to Tulgai. The captain was ordered to pay £3OO for engaging in the collection of trocas shell without a license.. The money was not forthcoming, and the schooner was confiscated, the captain coming to Sydney to consult the Japanese Consul. It is reported that he previously took two shipments of shell to Noumea.
