ALASKAN COMMERCE.
The Merchant Marine Committee Fixing
Up the Old Laws.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE house
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries held a meeting to-day, going
over the proposed changes in the navi-
gatioE laws to remove the troublesome
problems arising in Alaskan commerce.
As result the committee later favor
ably reported to the house the Payne
bill providing for several amendments
to the navigation laws. Tho bill is
framed to meet new conditions created
by the gold discoveries In the Yukon
river. and It's objects and efforts are
explained IN comprehensive report
made 10 the committee by Secretary
Gage. II strengthens and makes ex-
plieit the laws declaring our general
policy to be that the coasting trade
Gncluding the trade between the rest
Of the United States and Alaskal shall
be reserved exclusively to American
vessels, and covers explicitly this situ-
alton. Sea going vessels can proceed
to St Michaefs near the mouth Of the
Yukon.
The essential amendment. as pointed
out by Secretary Gage, is on the ques-
tion as tn whether American goods con-
signed To Alaskan ports from Seattle
can be carried in American vessels to
Victoria, a distance Of only - miles,
and at Victoria be put on British ves-
sells to be carried to Dyea about 500
miles. or to st. Nichaei's. about 21OD
miles. The treasury department has
ruled that this is a violation of the laws
reserving the c0asting trade to Ameri-
car vessels.
The policy Of the United States. Sec
retary Gage says is To confine carrying
by water 'tof the whole voyage be-
tween American ports to American ves-
sells. and section | of the bill is believed
TO explicitly affirm this policy and re-
move all doubt

The siamese Newspapers Regret to See
Him suppnnted.
San Francisco, Feb. 1.-THE Siamese
newspapers just received are unani-
nous in their expressions of regret at
the impending departure of Minister
Barrett, who will be succeeded by
Hamilton King Of Michigan. The Siam
Free Press says editorally, under date
of Dec. 30 last:
The news that Mr.. Barrett. United
in the spring of next year will be re-
ceived with unusual regret in Bangkok.
Representatives of his type are rare.
They are a class of men who do credit
to their country and honor To the adj
ministration that appointed them. The
Siam Press is not given to adulation.
and If we speak warmly on the merits
of the minister who is about to leave
us, ii is because the community of
Bangkok, Siamese and European. feels
warmly on the good works MIR. Barrett
has performed in a diplomatic, social
and general sense since his arrival in
Bangkok
The Bangkok Times. the official or
gan of the government. says: The am

new minister resident to represent the
United States government at the Sia-

the diplomatic way to welcome the
coming and speed the parting guest,
but it is true all the same, though one
need not say that MIR. King will not be
very cordially received

CANALEJAS GETS THE LETTER.
1t Was Delayed in Transmission and He's
Welcome to 1t.

~ IT.
Washington, Feb. 14-Actuated by
sense of honor and a strict idea of JUS
tice. the state department has taken
steps to place in the hands of Senor
CanalejaS the letter written by Senior
De LONE which led to the resignation
of the minister. The transaction is ex-
planned in the following brief statement
given out by the state department.:
Recognizing that the legal owner
Canalejas and his agent and attorney,
Mr.. Carlisle, having proper authority
to receive the same, the letter was de-
livered to him to-day"
IL explained in this statement that
Mr. Carlisle was fully authorized to
apply for and receive the letter, hav-
ing the cabed authorization from
Senior Canalejas. In the view of the state
department, the letter was a stolen
document, and like any other piece of
property, it should, upon application,
be delivered to it's rightful owner.
There was no other course left open,
for. in the United States, as in all
other countries having code of laws,
a letter becomes the sole property of
the person to whom it is addressed i'm
mediately it starts on it's way from the
sender Even the latter cannot obtain
possession of ii without the consent of
the pers-n addressed: the limit of his
powers legally Del1lp III certain cases
to stop the delivery of the paper.
This letter besides has already COM
pletely served all of the uses for which
it might have been applied by our gov
ernment, and there are in existence fac
smile copies of the paper that are SO
surely authenticated as to leave no legal
doubt of their accuracy.
There now remains only the closing
chapter of the incident to be written,
for the end is already in sight.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said in the press about demands on
Spain for apologies or retractions of the
disagreeable things said by Senior Du-
puy de LONE in his letter, it can be
positively stated that at no time since
the publication of the letter has the
state department taken any such course.
Instead it has relied entirely upon the
sense of propriety of the Spanish gov
ernment to do all that was proper and
needful to wipe out the unpleasant i'm
preston produced by these statements,
and it can now be said that this course
has been fully justified and that the
Spanish cabinet. now being aware of
the full text of the letter, Is expected. in
day or two, will make such disclaimer
of the letter as is required by the cir
cumstances. Tonight the state depart
ment received official notice from
Madrid of the selection of Senior Louis
Polo Bernabe as United States minis
ter to succeed Senior De LONE.

was opened in due form.
Miss; Hughes, a sister of the President
