Port Townsend. May S.-The steamer
Chilcat arrived from Juneau tonight,
en- route to Astoria, and reported that
the steamer Al-Ki struck a reef near
Mary's island, on her trip north, sus-
tanning slight damage. The Al-Ki was
leaking slightly when the Chilkat left,
but the examination had not proceed
ed far enough to warrant putting her
on the beach for repairs. A small por-
ton Of the cargo was damaged. The
south bound passengers were sent here
in the Chillxat on account Of the acci-
dent to the Al-Ki. The Al-Ki was
twelve days late in arriving in Juneau

Washington, May S.-The gold sltu.

little of no concern to officials Of the
treasury department. The feel absolute
confidence in the ability OF the admin
istration to handle the situation with
out alarm to the country or detriment
to the public credit Of the United
Safes. Secretary Carlisle is quoted as
saying that the situation is entirely
satisfactory; that he has assurance
that the New York banks would aid

he did not believe that it would be nee

The presidents order closing the
White House to office seekers, formed
the chief topic of conversation today.
Expressions regarding It are varying
in character according to the condition
Of the speaker. Senators and represen-
tatives with large and active constitu-
tencies are inclined to favor 1t, as they
are relieved from great deal Of pres
Jui'l from importuning followers
Politicians say the order will have the
effect Of making a close corporation of
the patronage system.and that the
president will be debarred from hear
Ing the voice of the people on the fit
ness of candidates.
In opposition to these opinions 1t is
urg edthat thep resident has borne
with patience the personal solicitations
of people for two months, for as mat
ter of fact the pesonal presence Of ap-
plicants is seldom necessary. 1t Is ar
gued that denial of personal inter-
views does not cut off the right of
citizens to make Endorsements or put
forward candidates. 1t is stated on the
best authority that the order of the
president was decided upon at a cabi-
net meeting held last Friday. The
president said he now had more i'm
portant businesswhich demanded atten-
tion than he had had during the en-
tire four years Of his previous admin
istration. To these matters he had no
time to devote himself on account Of
the crowds OF men continually calling
on his time to importune him for po-
sttions. The time for human endur-
ance had come to an end and some
thing had to be done.
