friendly services of the United States
in mediation between Great Britain

Tunis G. Bergin. president of the HoI-
land society.
The president thanked the gentle
men present for appearing, and for the
sentiments expressed in behalf of
peace. Such sentiments had his sym
pathy, but in a case where so many
diverse interests are involved moves
must be made with great reserve, lest
unwittingly, injury be done some of
the parties.

Washington, Oct. 26.-(Specfal) y
The condition of the commerce of ia
maica and the anxiety expressed by
provement have resulted in the estab.
lishment of new direct steamship
line between England and that island
Copies of the British Trade Journal
just received by the treasury bureau
of statistics, state that the colonial
Jamaica fruit and produce association
for a direct fruit and passenger ser
vice between that island and the Unit
ed Kingdom, to commence May, 1900.
The contract is for five years, and the
steamers will run fortnightly at an
average speed of fifteen knots be-
tween Kingston and Port Antonio. and
Southampton. The steamers wifi be
fitted for the conveyance of fruit and
will have a storage for at least 90
900 punches of bananas. The contrac-
tors bind themselves to employ at
least six agents in Jamaica in develop
ing the fruit industry, to improve the
wharf accommodation at Kingston and
other ports, and to build one or more
hotels in the island. The subsidy pay
able is 10000 per annum-of which
one-half will be contributed by the inn
perial goverument-to be increased to
e12,0 900 if more passenger accommo-
dation is required.
The British Trade Journal of Octo-
Der 1, commenting upon the condition
of commerce in the British West In
dies, says: THE new reciprocity
treaties between British colonies and
the United States bode no good TO
British manufacturers. They may
show no directly discriminating treat
ment against the step-mother's goods,
but they may make arrangement
which may reasonably be held to be
discriminating. For instance, Barba-
does has concluded a convention with
the United States providing that GER

try are to be imported free of duty, or
at greatly reduced rates. To make up

imported chiefly from the United
Kingdom; and this will unfortunately
hit Manchester and Birmingham trad
ers very severely. The reply of the
colonists will be that as the United
States have countervafled bounty-fed
sugar. they have opened the door to
the sugar of Barbados, and therefore
may naturally expect the colony TO
take American products at low duties
in return. As soon as. Manchester and
Birmingham adopt a similar policy
they will have a similar claim on the
colony.

WHAT THEY SAY.
A FEW EXTRACTS FROM LEAD. ING PAPERS REGARDING
 THE CHAPTERS.

The Roseburg Review, published in the late home of Fred Page-Tustin. has this to say about the King. "We notice by the Fort N.rangel Alaska Journal that Judge Fred Page-Tustin is very severe in passing sentance upon those who sell liquor to the Indians. Up in the frozen cline where transpo, tation facilities are uncertain and often inadequate. Tustin is not the man to re- main passive and unconcerned while good whiskey is being poured down the throats of untutorcd savaycs. In a land where distilleries and breweries are as numerous as are specisl land agents un- der Commissioner Herman. the judge might be more lenient. But in Alaska not by iugfull"" And in another is- sue the same paper says: ''Ihe Stikeen River Journal, the only newspaper published at Fort Wrangel. Alaska. is camping on the trail of l.. 5. Commits sioner Fred Page-Tustin. late of Rose burg. It accuses him of various irreg- ularities and asserts things are getting warm for the Judge.' The above is followed with a column Of matter copied from the Journal about our King Fred, the Grafters, Illegal fees, False impris- onment and Costs.
 The Skagway-Atlin Budget of March, llth, says: The people of Nrangel have lived for years under the impress sion that all the benefits of free gov ernment were theirs to enjoy, but such is not the case. The rights of the con- stitution have been abridged, and the liberties of the people trampled under foot by tha powers that be. The con- stitutiOn of the United States, and the State ofOregon guarantees to every man charged with a criminal offence the right of taial by jury, and yet there is languishing in our jail, in our midst, aman who is refused fair trial, and is sentenced to Imprisonment by self appointed king. The words liberty and justice are mOckery, and the spirits of our forefathers may hang their heads in shame at the spectacle

Topeka a Wreck.

THE steamer City of Topeka is a wreck in the narrows on Anchor Rocks. This is un- doubtedly the result of too much haste. The Topeka came into Wrangel on Wednesday evening and left immediately, with the tide running out, in a mad race to pass the narrows in that tide. Fnll particulars are not at hand, but the parties who came to Wrangel for assistance, state that at high water, the entire ship except the pilot house is under water.

 Journal.
 The following is taken from the Alaska Miner. of Juneau: The s;i- keen River Journal. of Wrangcl, ih ..., issue of March lS prefers chaf,,, against the Deputy Collector of Cts. toals at that port. and promises to n;si.c further disclosures. II commenting upon this the poot-in,cliiyenccr of tI.c idth calls attention to an intcrN jew with the Collector before he went to Wasi4- in4tun in hich he referred to lis itr- niel' cnclnie, HON cH9 hi, friends aNd that the newspapers ] ad ceased | cir attacks. It frii to thc ot of the Mi..or to lead the light against the customs administration in Alaska. and the court records show how we'll We succeeded. If our duty points in d similar direction in future We shall faithfully perform il, having made no utilization with any person which aOuld make such d course inconsistent OF embarrassing to Us. The course taken by the Journal in exposing wrong doing may not suit d few whose deeds are done in the dark. but it will provoke the respect of all right-minded men and it's efforts de- serve encouragement and the Miner welcomes the fact that another evi- dence is supplied of the fearlessness of the press. It k due to those officials whose records are spotless that others who disgrace themselves and discredit the government which appointed them should be dragged before the light of public opinion and exposed to the pen alty incurred.
 The San Francisco Chronicle under date of March 10th. says: The Stickeen River Journal is making very serious charges against Fred Page-Tustin, United States Commissioner at Wran- It claims edltorially that he is not only eXtorting more than the legal fee for the W ork that he does, but that he has even sentenced d man to jail contary to law The latter case is that of Harry Nelson. who was taken to Sitka by Deputy Marshall Grant on the last trip of the Cottage City. He has been sen- fenced to serve four months. He. is said to have demanded jury trial which was refused because Nelson would not put up bonds to cover the costs of the case. It is hinted that suit for damages will follow when Neil claims editorially that Commissioner Tustin has admitted that he charges $2 each for recording mining locations, when the charge should not exceed 50 cents. The following is an extract from d recent editorial: 1t will be q surprise to many of our citizens when they know the extent to which graft ing is carried on in the Courthouse at Wrangel. Scarcely an instrument is filed where the graft does not ap- pear in the shape of illegal fees, and not only there, but in criminal cases. A bill of costs amounting to as much 1925 is charged in cases in where the le- gel bill of costs should not exceed $5."
