ALGER ISSUES ORDERS
TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS ON SAN
PEDRO HARBOR
The Secretary's Private Fund Is Not
Likely to Be Depleted in
Paying the Bills

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. - Orders
were issued today by Secretary Alger to
advertise for proposals for the building
of the breakwater at San Pedro harbor,
California. This is irrespective of the
decision Of the comptroller of the treas
ury, who has been asked whether there
is any available fund from which the
expenses of advertising can be paid.
OF the $4,000 appropriated by con-
gress for the expenses of the commits
sion and other things about $4,000 re-
mains. If it shall be held, as seems prob
able, that this is applicable to the gen.
eral expenses of the San Pedro project,
there will be sufficient means to adver-
tise the project, but not to pay civil
engineers. inspectors and other neces-
sary expenses of the general plan.

this morning brought news from the

August from San Francisco with party
Of forty men for Copper river. The ex-
pedition was headed by Peter Renton,
who had agreed to land them at least
ten miles up the river. with provisions
for year, for $500 each. 1t was impos-
sible to navigate Copper river and the
men were placed ashore at Orca with
their provisions. The conditions had
been sadly misrepresented to them and
their provisions were not At for dog
meat. The men were frenzied when
they learned how they had been deceived
and they strung Renton up to tree.
When they thought him dead they cut
him down, but he was only unconscious
and recovered in few hours.
The men are now in famished con-
dition and may starve before winter is
over, as the provisions have so far de-
cayed as to be unfit for food. AS proof
of the frightful condition Of the provi-
sions the Blanchard brought down a
few strips of what was called bacon and
fried ham, which was utterly unfit for
human food.
A relief expedition will undoubtedly
be sent to Orca.
The richness of Copper river mines are

feet landing were fruitless and the
