SENATOR PERKINS EXPLAINS.


skaguay Bay sub-Port of Entry.
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug, 2,-United
States Senator George c, Perkins of
California, has arrived in this city
from Washington, D. c. The senator
was asked concerning his opposition
to the measure creating Skaguay
bay SUPPORT of entry. Sena-
tor Perkins said My opposi-
ton was made on the ground
that in the application Tor the creation
of the Skaguay bay SUPPORT not a
single name of an American merchant
or business man appeared. The names
were those of Canadian business men,
and were signed in their own interest
in connection with the sailing north of
the steamship Islander.
"There is no use in converting for
eirn bottoms into coasters, which the
transformation of Skaguay into sub
port allows. My opposition is sus-
tanned by the opinions of the
commissioner of navigation and
a solicitor of the treasury
department. neither of whom
thought the privileges should be
granted The matter came up at
cabinet meeting, at which time dis
match from cx-Secretary Foster on the
subject of the sealing matter contrib
uted the interest, and which undoubt-
edly had great weight in the granting
of the request"
