HER sEALsKIN RECOVERED.
The Police Effect a Clever Capture on
the Topeka.

The police effected a clever capture on
the arrival of the City OF Topeka Thurs
day evening and subsequently recovered
a valuable seafskin cape, belonging 10 a
Mrs. Green, of San Francisco, who was a
passenger TO Alaska on the trip of July
2 Mrs. Green took the steamer in this
city and shortly after the passage TO Ia
coma had been commenced discovered
the loss from her ststeroom of her new
seaIskin cape, valued at $3.50. She at once
reported the matter 10 the purser and az
ter a fruitless search OF the steamer the
investigation was dropped until the ar
rival at the SUPPORT on commencement
bay, when the officers Of the ship tele-
phoned the theft back to the Seattle
agents of the steamer and by them it was
reported 10 Chief Of Police Reed. Detee-
tive Phillips was assigned TO the'case and
when the steamer touched at the wharf
Thursday night he placed William john
son, a waiter, under arrest and took him
10 headquarters In his interview with
Chief Reed. Johnson. after being accused
of the theft. broke down and said that he
had knowledge OF the cape, in fact il was
nominaliy in his possession. bat he dis
ayowed the theft and stated that he had
purchased ii from a man named Magic,
who is now supposed To be IN Vancouver,
paying him $40 for ii. He admits hearing
the inquiries for the garment after the
Topeka left for Tacoma. but stated that
he did not tell OF Nagles sale to him
fearing 10 crlminate himself. The reason
the cape was not discovered was because
johnson had wrapped 1t up like bundle
of washing and had left Il at a Washing
ton street saloon. where, after being d.
rected. the police found It yesterday. Mrs.
Green has the intelligence and acumen OF
Seattle's police force to thank for the re-
turn OF her very handsome wrap.

ALASKA SALMON PLENTY.
The Catch This Season VIII Be Full,
Up TO the Average.


Among the arrivals from Alaska on the
Topeka was Capt. H. Mcintyre. He is IN
the employ OF the Pacific Steam Whaling
Company at Prince William sound. Alas
ka. This company owns four canneries in
Alaska. besides eight or nine whaling YES
sells in the Arctic ocean. Capt. Mcintyre
said yesterday:
The catch OF salmon IN Prince William
sound this season viii be up 10 the aver
age. The run begins there about May Is
and continues until the middle of Septem-
Der. Our company has four canneries.
One is in Hunters bay. one at khiknak,
and two IN Prince William sound. The
total pack at these four canneries will be
about 100 600 cases OF salmon. All the can
neries IN our section Of Alaska are doing
well and the catch will be fully up to the
average. although / have no advices from
Cook inlet and other remote points.
''The Pacific Steam Whaling Company
has eight or nine whalers in the Arctic
ocean. The whalers remain in the Arctic
for two seasons catching blowhead whales.
They do not pay much attention TO the
oil but are after the whalebone, which is
worth from s. to $3.50 per pound. The
steamer Jennie, which is owned by our
company, goes up as far as Hersehel
island with supplies for the whalers, and
We will not get any news from there until
she returns to Prince William sound,
which will be along in September. The
season before last the catch of the whalers
was large. but last season IL was small.
Capt. Mcintyre viii go to San Francisco
to have his left eye removed. While as
ssting IN the construction OF the founda-
ton for a cannery on Prince William
sound a short time ago a piece of stone
struck the eye and destroyed the sight.
II has panied him so much that he has de-
cided to have IL removed.
