Some embarrassment has been cansed1the

that Ivan Petroff, whose services were employed
by the department to furnish data upon the
seal industry. has given the government salse
information, the statistics prepared by him
proving TO be utterly worthless and showing
tr.ces, 10 10 charged, OF willful Justification.
The data had already been Incorporated in the
case Of the United States in the Bering sen

for this government TO withdraw the matter on
the ground that the government had been
imposed upon by one OF its aRenta.

reau.
WHAT II SAID At THE CENSUS OFFICE.
Those associated with Mr.. Ivan Petroff in the
census Office express the greatest surprise az
the published charges made against him. Per
sonally he is spoken of AZ a most reliable and
honest man, while officially he is regarded as
an expert He had charge Of the census IN
Alaska in 1880 and the volume that was then
published has been since looked upon as an
authority IN regard to all Alaskan mat
tiers. In this volume Mr.. Petrof did
not confne himself to the mere
Statistics OF population, but be gave elaborate
chapters to the discussion Of the resources Of
Alaska, its geography and topography, q his
torical sketch Of Alaska and notes on Alaskan
ethnology. A volume somewhat similar IL now
in press and viii be shortly issued. Mr.. Petroh
has furnished the matter for this volume, and
his work In this particular has not vet
been concluded. There is no reason to be-
lieve that the facts and figures which
he has supplied are not correct In fact, there
would be no motive that can now be discerned
which would lead to the insertion OF any mis-.
statements. Mr. Petroff 10 not in the city. He
IL now living in Baltimore, and sends the mat
ter for the census volume 20 this city as fast a.

Superintendent Porter 10 also ont of the city,

morning an employe Of the census Office. He
WAS merely detailed to the State Department,
10 do some special work, and when he had com.
pleted 1t he resumed his duties in connection
with the census Office.
Mr.. Petrof il q native Russian and has lived
In Alaska a number Of years and is therefore
familiar with the country. This special know.

A TIMES reporter interviewed a num-
Der of physicians yesterday in regard to
the sanitary condition of the city, and
they we're almost unanimous in declar-
ing that it is now better than it has
been for number of years. Following
are their opinions:
DR.. Jones: II have been in the city
four years and the sanitary condition is
better at present than it has been at
any time during that period. and there
is not rs much sickness in proportion to
the population as there was few years
ago, especially the severer types of ma
larial fever. The principal cause of
sickness now is the lack of proper dram
age and unpaved streets. Our water is
pure and good, and with proper drainage
there is no reason why Roanoke should
not be the healthiest city in the State''
Dr: Z. &. Cannaday: The sanitary
condition, | think, is fairly good for
this time OF the year, but could be i'm
proved by board OF health that would
look closely after the condition of
sewers, stagnant ponds of water, etc."
Dr. ~. Il. kouier: II think the SAM
tary condition is very good, but could
De improved by vigilance on the part OF
those who have the sanitary inspection
in charge"
DR.. Simmons: Tho sanitary condi-
ton is very good, but there is a pond of
stagnant water near the West End
round house, tho drainage of which
comes between First and Second ave-
nues n. w, directly beoween the back
doors of the houses on both avenues. II,
deserves the Immediate attention of
council, anu at small cost could be-
remedied by blind ditching or covering
oy some means. In regard to closets,
where sinks cannot DO used, | am a
strong advocate of earthen drawers. in
stead of the careless way in which the,
matter is disposed of. l believe it will
be the means of preventing many cases
of fe ger.'
DR.. Moorman: Tho chief causes of
sickness at present are the cesspools
that we're dug about two years ago, then
were ordered to be filed up, and about
eighteen inches Of dirt was thrown into
them This deserves immediate atten-
ton. outside OF this the sanitary con-
dition OF the city is better than it has
been for number OF years"
DR. Fiery: MY practice being con-
lined to diseases of the ear, eye and
throat, which are rarely, if ever, pro-
ouced by bad sanitary conditions, the
subject, in our city. has received so
little OF my attention that feel a del
icacy in expressing an opinion in regard
to it, but will say that 30 far as have
observed the sanitary condition of Roa-
noke Is very good"
DR.. ~. A. Cannaday: The sanitary
condition OF the city is better at present
than it has been for wears, with tho az
ception OF privys in the back ward which
are not kept properly cleaned. ! think
more disease originates from this cause
than any other"
