WASHINGTON. June 28.—At a
conference of the House leaders today
It was agreed to adjourn for three
successive days each week for the
next two weeks, beginning today.
WASHINGTON, June 25.—Under
a resolution passed by congress,
Henry W. Elliott and Andrew Gal
lagher, experts, have been employed
to investigate the conditions of the
fur seal rookeries of the Pribliof
Islands and of the inhabitants of the
islands, and will start at once on
their mission.
Under the treaty with Japan, Rus
sia and England, whereby pelagic
sealing by the citizens of these
countries is to be prohibited by their
respective governments, the United
States is to take a census of the
seal herds on the islands.
Owing to the delay in the passage
of the sundry civil bill, carrying an
appropriation for this work, and also
for the supplies with which the
natives of the islands and the gov
ernment employees there, are fur
nished by the department, extreme
haste is required if the government
is to comply with its duties under
the treaty, and also to prevent suf
fering of the residents of the island
from want of food, the supply of
which is practically exhausted. The
earliest possible date at which a ves
sel can arrive there will be July 6.
This not only leaves a very narrow
margin of food for the natives and
for the officers on the seal islands,
but may involve their being placed
upon seal meat ration meanwhile.
The department has not funds with
which to purchase the supplies,
which are needed, or with which to
charter the vessel. This vessel must
be chartered, the supplies must be
purchased and loaded on her, and she
must leave not later than June 25
in order to reach the islands by July
6. The question of actual suffering
for the government officers and the
natives who are the wards of the
government is involved in her get
ting there on time.
Furthermore, unless she reaches
the islands by July 10 the census of
the seal herds contemplated by the
treaty with Japan, Russia and Eng
land can not be taken, because the
enumerators required for this im
portant work are to go on the
steamer, and no money is available
for sending them by any other ves
sel. After July 10 the seal harems
begin to break up and an accurate
count will be impossible.
There has been an entire change
in the personnel of the force on the
seal islands and the new represen
tative of the department must be on
duty at the islands at the earliest
possible date after July 1, but there
are no funds with which to pay his
traveling expenses. The salmon
agents and fur wardens who are in
the field must practically mark time
at a most critical time when they
should be engaged in enforcing the
laws. Some of these men are in
remote regions and are incurring
expenses which will exhaust the
funds which are available, and to
bring them in from the field will cost
more than to maintain them.
The only vessel that the bureau of
fisheries has available for work in
Alaska has been for weeks ready to
go into commission, but lies idle at
Bellingham, where she can not be
moved, though urgently needed in
the salmon work. The situation is
such as to form a real emergency
and is one of deep anxiety to the
officers of the bureau of fisheries and
the department of commerce.
SEATTLE, June 20.—The trial of
Clarence Blethen, managing editor
of The Times, for criminal libel,
was brought to a close this morn
ing at the completion of the Intro
duction of evidence by the prosecu
tion, when the court instructed the
jury to return a verdict of not gu'lty,
which they did without leaving their
seats.
Blethen was indicted a few days
ago hy the grand jury on the charge
of criminal libel because of a scath
ing editorial regarding the socialists
appearing in a recent issue of the
Times. The court ruled that the
editorial was not libelous and in
structed the verdict.
CHARLESTON, W. Va., June 26.

operators declare they will fight to

tained in Washington to “grease the
wheels’’ at the capital to prevent
agitation in congress against the
dissolution of the Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific railroads.

>f.the Russian ambassador to France

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.—
Clayton Harrington, special inves
tigator for the government under
the Mann White Slave act, was sus
pended this morning under an order
from President Wilson.
Harrington has been particularly
partizan to District Attorney McXab,
and has made himself obnoxious to
the administration by his strongly
urged recommendations to the Presi
dent that McReynolds be removed
from office because of the delay in
the prosecution of white slave cases,
and intimating that McReynold's
interference in the matter was due
to a desire to defeat the ends of
justice.

tiissions report, and that our Coal be opened for use.
Every town Council, and every Chamber of Commerce in
Alaska has sent wires and petitions to the President and Congress
to the same effect.

in the good work and are bringing all the pressure in their power
to bear.

with the Commission’s report to be introduced at the Special
Session to convene April 1st.
Is there any one that doubts that something will be accom
