VERNON II. BROWN AND THE BorIINrA.

TO the Editor OF The TIL u o.
Sir The system Of interviewing, which is so piomi-
nent feature in Journalism becomes mischevOus and
oppressive when the interviewer, relying upon memory
to write up at q later period his report either from
carelessness or detective memory fails to give cor
rect version.
The reporter who quoted me as pronouncing as
sertons OF the Bothnias passengers "a Hes both
misquotcd and did me great injustice ] stated was
then engaged in investigating the matter but was only
prepared to say that thought the alleged condition
OF affairs was much exaggerated. lie then referred to
report that the bed linen had been unchanged since
its use on the previous voyage. This report / pro-
nounced "palpable le" and that was the only oc-
casion the Objectionable epithet was applied
The complaints regarding the alleged condition OF the
Botinia were promptly taken up by me and as care
fully Investigated the ships limited stay at this port
permittcd NY report has been forwarded TO Liver

ton viii lie completed. BY kindly giving space 10

THE BENWELL MURDER.
Evidence that Birchall Belonged to {
Band Of Murderers.

Provincial Detective Murray of Ontario, who
has been in Buffalo seeking further evidence
against Birchall. left yesterday. Before leav-
ing he said: Il have not the slightest doubt that
others met Benwell's fate. Only yesterday
received some very important evidence on this
point I got letter from gentleman in New
York, very prominent business man. speak
ing OF five young Englishmen who to his knowl-
edge came over to this country to become farm
pupils. Two Of them disappeared at Niagara
Falls. They gave directions to have their let
tiers sent to the Falls for two weeks, but the
letters were never called for and the two young
men have never been heard from.
II know that Birchall has been out to this
country several times, and I have very little
doubt that he is one Of a gang of conspirators
who league to first rob and then murder their
victims. Besides the looking up Of Brchalrs
movements / shall investigate the statements
Of the New York business man. and, perhaps,
may be compelled to continue the investigation
in England"

WHAT THE NORTHWEST WANTS.
Ports Of Entry for American Vessels
Senator Aliens Views.

Senator John B. Allen Of the new state of
Washington 10 one Of the fortunate public men
who have the faculty Of making both ends
meet. His term as territorial delegate dove
tailed into his new career as United States
Senator in q manner that would delight Che
most ambitious, permitting his salary TO begin
in March and his public duties in December.
But since coming to Washington he has been
busy earning his back salary and getting his
northwestern realm into the parquet circle Of
the republic.
''Our state will rank among the first in its
commerce in another decade" he said to a
STAR reporter.
How can you build up . great commerce
with but one port of entry?'
True, we have but one port of entry for our
10000 square miles Of outdoors $50 miles Of
ocean coast and over 700 miles Of inland tide
establishing several SUPPORTS"
What are you asking fOr?''
"The bill have just introduced asks that the
Puget sound collection district shall comprise
the state of Washington, Port Townsend being
the port Of entry. Tacoma and Seattle and Port
Angeles supports Of entry anddelivery, with
privileges OF immediate transportation and
that some point on Bellingham bay and on
Gray's harbor be designated by the Secretary
OF the Treasury, and such other ports as the
Secretary may from time to time select shall
be supports OF entry. This makes the bill very
elastic, places all points on an equal footing
and may establish ports at points where no
settlements are yet made,
How do the Portland and San Francisco
folks view your ambitious designs?"
"The shippers. boards Of trade and CONNER
cial interests Of both cities indorse our efforts,
as the establishment of these ports would
cheaper and expedite commerce. Vessels
could then 60 direct from San Francisco and
other ocean points TO Port Angeles. not only
saving much in towage but giving all towing
to American instead Of British tugs Senators
Mitchell and Dolph of Oregon have Joined us
in setting forth the public necessity of making
Angeles a SUPPORT Of entry, and B. A Colonna
Of the coast and geodetic survey has 50 rec
commended to the Secretary Of the Treasury"
"Your country seems big enough and rich
self"
Yes. but We prefer to let her wear the old
fashioned statehood bonnet with AZ stars In
the crown. 1t wears we'll and will never get
out Of fashion with us. Give US some one to
register our vessels is all we ash. and then tell
1t to the marines, for the story OF our growth
will surpass belief"

The Symphony Concert.

An audience that filed Lincoln music hall to
its utmost capacity last evening renewed and
verified the assurance Of the deep interest felt
by the generous cukure Of Washington in the
work Of the Boston symphony orchestra and
its remarkable conductor, Mr.. Nikisch. Much
of this was doubtless due as well to the reap
pesrance Of Miss Mary Howe, who made her
most ambitious attempt in the bell song from
Delibes' "Lakme," an aria whose horid elabo-
rations have Q much clearer musical signif-
csnes than many others Of its class and in the
performance of which must be met y corre-
spondingly greater demand upon the singers
abilities Not only did Miss Howe reveal
again, and even more fully than before, the
beautiful freshness, hexibility and the wide
compass OF her voice, but she gave to the
whole aria that individual color, half French,
half oriental, that constitutes it, great charm.
It was . thoroughly enjoyable performance.
The magic Of Mr.. Nikisch's touch upon
Beethovsns Fifth Symphony revealed new
beauties and In the marvellous prelude TO Wag-
ner's ''Tristan and Isolde" the orchestra rose
to the fullest measure Of it ability and gave Q
performances Of immensely moving power
performances reaching the summit OF the emo
tional expressiveness Of this wonderful bit Of
Wagner's work
