NOT AN INTERSTATE STRIKE
Why the President Did Not Inter-
fere in the Coal Trouble.
Labor Troubles May Be the Subject
ofa Official Report-An Inter-
estipg Question Involved.

Some time ago the strikers, through their
representatives. called on President Nc
Kinley to use his friendly offices toward
the settlement of the coal miners strike
Mr.. Mckinley did not interpose, and, al
though there is labor bureau or labor de-
partment of the Government, it does not
take official cognizanee of social and in
dustrial upheayals like the present.
Hon. Carroll ID. Wright, United States
Commissioner of Labor, was away on his
vacation wheu the strike commenced, bus
he has of course sympathetic eye for the
kind of news which strikes produce He
said yesterday that the Government was
not directly interested in this strike for the
reason that II was not an interstate mat
ter, nor was the infTaction Of any Federal
law involved. 1t was tue, he said, that
the strike concerned several States, but
that did not makeit interstate in the techni-
cal sense CT that word.
Col. Wright said that it was nevertheless
probable that the strike would be made

FORMER ALASKAN PARTIES
Story of a Survivor of the Seward
Expedition.
First American Flag Unfurled Above
the Icy Wastes Is Folded Care
fully Away in This City.

Mr. Joseph l. Keefer, the last survivor
OF the Seward State Department expedi
ton TO ALASKA in 1867, in which he was
aide-de- e-camp to Capt T. E. Ketchum, COM
mandiug the party which unfuried the first
American flag on Alaskan soil , told Il Times
reporter yesterday that he not only knows
where the Seward expedition flag is, but
also that of the Western Union Collins
overland expedition which has been thought
lost ny the members of the party.
In discussing the two expeditions and
their early flags Mr.. Keefer said:
II want to mention that in the summer
of 1894, 10 hunting for our flag, which Is
unq1estionaby the one entitled to the
honor of being first, curiously enough l
came across the Western Union flag in the
Smithsonian. l suppose the fact is un-
known to the people who were with the
Western Urion party.
"our flag the Seward flag-is behind
the framed copy of the original Declara-
tion Of Independence"
Mr.. Keafer washed gold at old Fort
Comos and Fort Michaelon the Yukon, and
found it IN plenty on that expedition. Pre-
vious to that in the gold region OF
Colorado county, Cal, hehad washed there
with the same pan. He was struck at the
time with the similarity OF the earth and
| with the fact that the Alaskan gold was
more plentiful.
Mr. Keefer states that he traded for
a quantity of diamonds from the natives,
and is Of the opinion that this land of
wonders abounds in valuable gems await
ing only the hand OF the miner to be
reached He brought home with him
many curiosities, among them bas-reliei
hierogIyphic OF prayer on an ivory tusk.
1t was on exhibition at the time In the
window OF Charles Chase, the old umbrella
man, next to WIZARDS Hotel. in 1869
The relic was examined by experts, and
while the prayer was incomplete, IL was
pronounced to be authentic and q most
wonderful relic.
The natives Of Alaska, Mr.. Keefer says
| believe their forefathcrs originated at tn.
| pole and worked their way down, and
| Were finally cut off from their friends
| They believe that life at the pole, o.
scdse OF the earth,'f still exists They
