THE VESSEL SEIZED.

Presumably Marshal Shaw made his
report to the authorities. and immed-
lately upon Its reception further action
was taken. At any rate, while the
schooner was scudding across the water
TO Norfolk, a message from Secretary
Gage was speeding across the wires on
the wings Of lightning, instructing the
collector Of customs at this port, MIR.
Leroy III. Shields. to sieze the vessel
upon her arrival, and to dctain her
here until further orders.
Accordingly, the Donna T. Briggs had
hardly poked her nose into the harbor
before she was visited by a boarding
officer from the custom house and taken
possession OF later in the day. Mr..
Shields himself went aboard and had
an interview with the captain. with
what resultit is not known. The schoon-

BIDS TO BE CALLED FOR
To Afford Best Way Of Sending Supplies 10
the klondike.

Washington, Dec. 19-As a result of
study as to the best means of getting
supplies to the miners in the Yukon
country. Secretary Alger has decided to
ask bids for the delivery of stores directly
at -Dyea. Skaguay or ChilkOot.
Secretary Ayers estimate now is that
no less than 1900, 900 pounds of food stores
will be required for the expedition.
One question that has engaged his at
tention is that of securing the consent of
the Canadian government for the passage
of the relief expeditions over that par,
of Canadian territory which must be ira
versed in reaching the miners. 1t will be
necessary to obtain permit for mill
tary expedition to pass, and also to secure
a remission of duties on the supplies car
ried in. 1t is probable that the secretary
will go himself to Ottawa in few days
and deal directly with the Canadian au-
thorities.
Captain Brainard of the subsistence de-
partment of the army, and now on duty
in New York city, has been ordered to
report to Gen Merriam at Portland Ore
Secretary Alger has sent telegram
to Gen. Merriam, instructing him to pick
out two officers and so Of his best men to
act as guards for the relief expeditions
Capt. Brainard Is to devote himself tc
experimenting the selection of stores
their delivery and proper packing for the
trip across the pass. Afterward he may
go across with one expedition. The pres.
ent idea is that there will be 20 of these
parties. and they will be loaded with 1905
| tons of food.
The United States military attache o,
| the legation at Stockholm has been ca.
| bled to purchase the reindeer needed a.
draught animals, and to ship them te
Dyea. The route to be followed fron
| Dyea inland TO the Klondike will depend
on the reports of the military officers.

AUGUSTA, 4; GARDINER. !.
For the First Ttms augusta Captures = Game
in the Coliseum.

Gardiner. Dec. 19.--tSpeciaD.-O Satur-
day right for the first time in the his
tory OF the Maine State Polo League.
Augusta defeated the Gardiner team in
the Coliseum. Gardiner had been
strengthened by the addition of two new
men and all felt sure of her winning.
When Referee Wakefield blew his whis-
tie Dawson uncovered the spot and some
fast polo was indulged in by both teams.
After 2 minutes and 81 seconds Gardiner
succeeded in capturing one goal. The
rest OF the period was played without
either side scoring.
The second period opened i'm much the
same way and Augusta captured goal,
the only one during this period. Clifford
was injured during this period and was
obliged to retire. Tobin taking his place.
In the last period, the home team
seemed to go to pieces. and Augusta cap
tured three more goals.
For Augusta, Turner put up good
game, and Hackett in goal was all right.
For Gardiner, Hadley played Il great
game, being everywhere and at the right
time. Murphy in goal made some great
stops. Clifford at halfback put up a good
blocking game while he was on the sur
face. and Tobin played for all there was
in him. GARDENERS defeat can be laid to
the weakness of her rush.
The Lineup:
