The oregon went out yesterday TO

lie from San Francisco shortly after
noon on Monday. She had lS5 tons OF
merchandise and carried a non-union
crew. AS the latter was about COM
mencIng to discharge the cargo at Sch

appeared and drove TIE crew froH@ tee

ths. meantime SEVERAL police oiiicsrs
arrived and tho trouble ceased HOW
ever Captain Peterson could not it>
d,lce his crew To- unload the carso, and
the work was finally turned over y
the longshoremep
Captain Peterson when seen e$
Telegraph reporter said:
~ have always been In sympathy
with the union men. but when l foaad
that they wanted to run my business.
then I concluded to employ men who
are not members Of the union The
night before I left Frisco some union
men attempted to remove my crew. l
had several men on the watch They
were armed to the teeth, and / had IN
formed them that would be respon-
sible for anything they did while pro-
tecting my property. During the night
the union men made an attempt to get
aboard. 1 was awakened by the noise,
and at the point OF revolvers we drove
them away, / am going to lie here O
couple of nights and II any attempt Is
made to steal my crew some one Will
get hurt
Soon after the longshoremen had
commenced dlscharging the Sailor
Boys cargo Chief Jackson called or
Captain Peterson.
IF your crew wants to go to work.
said the chief, "we'll protect them II !
takes the entire force"
Captain Peterson, however, was Will
ing that the longshoremen should con
tinue but he asked the chief for polio
assistance so long as his schooner re
mains in port. 1t is believed that ther
will be more trouble before the Sailo
Boy takes her departure.
The City Of Topeka arrived at Seal
tie from Alaska, Monday, and is no'
taking coal at the Oregon Improve
ment Company's bunkers. She carrie
general merchandise to Alaska, an
her return cargo consisted largely {
furs. The Morning Record, publishe
in Juneau City, Alaska, says In Its ed
ton of Thursday, February Esd:
Monday evening at about fiftee
minutes of 10 o'clock quite a sevei
shock of earthquake was felt In Junea
In stores and dwelling houses the disl
es. bottles, ETC., ratified considerable
and the hanging lamps swayed for
least fifteen minutes after the shoe
The vibrations seemed to be from Il
southeast to northwest, and was pro
ably the severest shock ever felt In j.
neau, and 1t is probable that In a sho
time we will hear Of considerable dar
age being done somewhere, and tn
the elements treated Alaska like Il
government has been treating 1t
giving us the tail end Of the shock. II
shock was severe enough to satisfy o,
curiosity, and II our little city po
sessed tall and stately brick building
It Is more than probable that conside
able damage would have resulted"
The steam schooner Signal, CAPITA
Bendegard. arrived from San Francis
at Seattle on Sunday, having be-
seven days on the way, two da
longer than usual. Captain Bendega
says the delay was owing to the stroi
head winds encountered. The vess
brought six hundred tons Of freight
the Dietrich line and is discharglng
Schwabacher's wharf, the first me
chandise landed being forty boxes
dynamite, which was handled with
good deal OF care. On his last trip
non-union crew was kidnapped off Il
Signal. but Captain Bendegard hard
thinks It will occur again.
The steam collier Mackinaw went
Seattle Monday to load for the Blac
Diamond Coal Company for San Frai
cisco. Her delaywas caused by har
weather which broke her propell,
and compelled her to put back
San Francisco.
