Through an Absurd Decision a Monopoly
Of the Landing is Secured.
WASHINGTON, December Ga. 2. Swine
ford, Governor Of Alaska, in a letter to the
Secretary OF the Interior, represents that,
through what he believes to have been, to
say the least, an absurd decision OF the
late Judge of tho United States Court for
Alaska, private parties have secured pos
session OF the government wharf ut Sitka
and now monopolze the coal trade.
He says the vessels of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Co., refuse to land coal for any
body but the parties in possession of the
wharf, and they are, in consequence, able
to extort exorbitant prices. The Governor
asks that the senior naval officer stationed
there be authorized to supply the civic
authorities with coal at cost.
The letter has been referred to the Navy
DaDa rttnent.
