REMOVAL rs RECOMMENDED.
Treasury Agent Linck Believes
Mary Island Custom House should
He Changed to Ketchikan.

The treasury department is considering
the advisabtlity of removing the united
Alaska, to Ketchikan, in compliance with
recommendations made last September by
Special Agent Lnck. Such q change, II is
contended, VIII meet with the appr o",o OF
MES operating between Puget sound ports
and Alaska. A transfer Of the office to
Ketchikan is recommended by the treas
urys special agent upon the ground, chief
". OF the utter absence of wharf facilities
at Mary island. It IL further commended
that Ketchikan, which has long been
more accessible These reasons are also
the ones put forward by the navigation
companieS. DESTROYS of the change: Since
tom office on Mary island. many years
ago, their vessels have been forced to
make shore for the purpose of visiting the
custom house In rowsoat a ieat wnicn
I'VE favor a change" Superintendent
Trowbridge, of the Pacific Coast steamship
Company, said yesterday In discussing the
matter, for the reason that there is no
wharf at Mary island, while Ketchikan
has a good dock. Often, owing to rough
weather It Is s very in oi rowboat az Mary
island. Had the place good wharf, |
could see no real necessity for a change,
but this 1t has not"
we'll & Co., received letter yesterday on
the subject of change of the Mary island
Office from Mr.. Linck. The latter makes
no particular reference to Ketchikan,
though 1t is known that he recommended
that place as suitable in case the change
should be made. In part Mr.. Lnck's let
ter is as follows:
while on tour of investigation of Gus
toms matters in the District of Alaska, I
discovered that the station at Mary island
was very inconvenient In many respects,
and that at times 1t was even dangerous.
If not impossible, to go ashore for the pur-
pose of entering and clearing. I reported
to the department, and as am called up
on for further report, would be obliged
for an expression of opinion from you rel
alive to the matter of removal"
Mr. Stewart says he heartily indorses
the proposed change.

Gen. George H. Randall, who has been
announced as the commander Of the mill
tary forces In Alaska, as already toio IN
the Post-Intelligencer, Will report 10 the
war department at washington today. ana
is expected to start for the Coast at once
to assume his command.
Gen. Randall's headquarters In Alaska
win probably be at st. Michael or Nome.
where larger number Of troops are IKE
ly to be required owing to the rush TO
the new diggings than at any other point.
He may however proceed first to Valdes,
where the government Is said to nave In
contemplation the establishment OF per-
manent army post as base from when
to keep in operation the trail which Is
under construction from valdes to point
on the American Yukon at or near Fort
Gibson.
1t is said that the war department never
intended establishing a permanent post
on Cook inlet. Capt. Glenn used that
point as base Of supplies from which to
operate in establishing summer tran
by way Of the Shushitna river, but this
route is known to be practicable only In
summer.
Col. Randall's former administration Of
military affairs on the 81 Mch m bes Sssn
on duty In Cuba. At the outbreak OF me
Spanish war he was stationed az ~. MI
chael. and upon his appointment as briga.
for the scene of hostilities; but before he
reached the front the war was over. He
was then assigned to command OF the
Third division of the Second army corps,
and had a regiment when the volunteers
We're mustered out in Cuba.
''Col Randall served under Gen. Crook
against the Indians and made an enviable
record. as frontier fighter" Capt w. w:
Robinson said yesterday. He Is well
qualified to fill the important post. To be-
gin with, he delights in frontier service, as
Is shown in his giving up command OF a
post to lead eighteen men In Alaska,
where he went in 1897" He is tall and
wears gray hair and mustache.
Col George II. Randall was born in
Ohio and entered the service as private

ALASKAN MINERS TROUBLES.
Ex-Inspector Rawlins Says Their
Meetings Were Attacked.


The statement was made at the meeting
Of the Alaska Miners Association last
night by j. B. Rawlins, United States min
ing inspector under President Cleveland.
that miners meetings in Alaska had been
attacked by the military without there be .
ing provocation, and the proceedings nulli-
fled at the point of the bayonet. The meet
ing was the regular weekly session of the
association, when general topics concern
ing the needs of Alaska were under dis
cussion.
Mr. Rawlins was the principal speaker.
He said that the miners meeting under
discussion was being held at saloon at
Nome, when some resolutions relating to
the right of locating claims by power Of
attorney were being presented. when Capt.
Walker, in charge Of the military there.
cried out that he would give him just two
minutes to withdraw the resolutions, or
the meeting would be dispersed. Mr.. Raw
Inns refused to withdraw them, and there
upon, said the ex-inspector. the sergeant
of the company and some men broke up
the gathering. Mr.. Rawlins says he went
down the street few doors and reopened
his business when he was arrested by the
military authorities; but, however, subse-
Quently released.
Upon calling for verincation Of his state
ments four men in different parts of the
hall said they were at the same meeting,
said. After this the discussion became
general all taking the position that It
would be an outrage to send military to
Alaska for the purpose of giving them alb
solute control over all administrative mat
ters Of the district, or giving them authori-
ty to have anything to do with other things
than preserving peace.

OBJECT OF AN ASSOCIATION.
why Seattle Manufacturers Are
Combining for Advancement.


The object of the pending formation of
an association of the manufacturers of
Seattle is told in letter from one of the
prominent local concerns addressed to
reau, which reads partially as follows:
zone great drawback to the complete
success of local manufacturers has been
that such efforts as have been put forth
by the commercial bodies and the people
OF Seattle to encourage home industries
have been expended IN adyer u.s. en the ao
inducing new enterprises to locate here.
and not enough concerted action has been
taken toward giving them the REQUIRED
support once their presence has been Sc
cured.
ut is the old condition that seems to
prevail with all merchants and most OF
the people, wherein prices and quality be-
ing equal, the foreign-made article has
the preference. We do not complain that
we have to compete with old-established
lines from all parts of the United States
that is unnecessary and unjust-but we
think we are entitled to reversal of the
existing conditions, and that local prod,
nets should have the call In the local
market, where quality, style of packing
and prices are equal or in favor Of Seat
tie eg goods s,,rsst and Quickest method Of at.
tracing more manufactures is to demon
state that those already here are finding
the field profitable. IT, Is poor encourage
upon investigation that the local indus
tries of Seattle are compelled to look to
and even to our neighboring states for
the support that sustains them.
at is of course apparent that the pros
perity of the local manufacturers means
Increased prosperity to the city in in
creased demand for labor and augmented
opportunities for the local merchants.
While we are glad TO say that we have
Just past in increasing the local consump-
ton of our products, there Is still room
for vast Improvement. and where we now
v,1p
should increase that number TO seventy
five or more were we receiving our fair
proportion of the local trade.
aft is for the purpose OF dealing with
these conditions that the proposed ASSOC
citation of manufacturers is being
formed"

ATTEMPTS TO END HER LIFE.
Spokane Woman Said to Have Taken
Twenty-Five Grains of Morphine.


Reports of mysterious attempt at sui
eide at the Brooklyn rooming house Satur-
day night were current on the street yes
terday. 1t Is stated that a woman refined
in appearance and richly gowned, in COM
pany with an elderly man with a gray
mustache. engaged a room at the Brooklyn
about o'clock Saturday evening, and that
soon afterward the man rushed to Barring
toms drug store on Second avenue and Pike
street, and said his companion had taken
morphine. A physician was hastily sum-
moned. and after using various remedies
and walking the woman around the room
for several hours succeeded in saving her
life.
The greatest mystery surrounds the
whole affair. The names of the man and
woman are known to nobody connected
with 1t, and as if to head off inquiry the
couple left the Brooklyn early Sunday
morning, and have not been seen since
The only thing known about the woman is
that she came from Spokane, where she Is
married. though her husband Is reported to
be in the Republic mining district The
old man accompanying her affectionately
called her Mamie" when addressing her.
She is slight woman, with dark brown
hair, and is believed to have come from
Spokane Saturday. The man is said to be
a resident Of Seattle. The woman returned
to Spokane yesterday afternoon.

TO ARGUE ALIEN Law.
Gold Commissioner Graham Thinks
the Obnoxious Measure VIII
He Revealed.

]. D. Graham, whose name has become
familiar to Americans as gold commission
er In Atlin. came over from Victoria Sum
day and returned to that city last night.
While in Seattle he was a guest at the
Northern. Mr.. Graham is exceedingly
averse to discussing the question of placer
mining In Atlin. He Is In constant attend
ance on the British Columbian parlia-
ment at Victoria. He said last night:
1.-THE situation at Victoria Is little
critical. Joe Martin Is doing his best TO
assert his supremacy in politics there once
more. He is using every means to create
dissatisfaction In the ranks OF the support
ers Of the present administration. / think
that the government will be able to pull
through all right, but II will have a small
majority with which to work.
"Will the allen law question come up?
am not at liberty to discuss that ques-
ton. The government will certainly take
some action upon 1t. Martin is, of course,
working with might and main to see that
his course is supported and his opponents
are working fully as vigorously for its
repeal. / make no prediction. but have
the impression that Martin will be unsuc-
cessful. For myself, as a government Of
ficial, I have no opinion. will discuss
anything else but Atlin and the alien law.
II am going back to Atlin in few. days.
As far as I know, things are quiet up
there just now. I expect to find Atlin this
year one of the most peaceable and pros
porous camps In Alaska"

count of floods on Green river and other
streams in Western Washington seem to
be ended: Ihere were no long delays In
