CITY OF SEATTLE Is HERE,
Goes to Quartermaster Harbor "a
Undergo Repairs-Tyee Makes a
Good Trim With Her Tow

The steamer City of Seattle. In tow of
the tug Tyee. tied up at the Yesler wharf
yesterday morning. 1t was the intention
to go direct to Quartermaster Harbor, but
Charles Stewart, manager OF the COM
pany. met the vessel and had her brought
TO Seattle. She. however. left about II 80
for the Quartermaster drydock. The
steamer bears few outward marks OF her
recent dangerous experience in northern
waters. The plates at the stem are slight
ly bent and wrenched from contact with
the Cottage City while the latter was try
ing to heave a line to her in the storm.
In several places along the sides the paint
Is scratched or
The Tyee made n good run down, cover
Ing the distance from Juneau TO Seattle
in a little less than 1o4 hours. Some diff
Guilty was experienced Tuesday night, ow-
Ing to the heavy storm.
To repair the City of Seattle will require
several days. The time depends entirely
upon whether the shaft is bent and this
cannot be ascertained until the vessel
goes on the drydock. If the shaft Is not
bent It will take but a short time TO put
the wheel on. The damages to the stem
Will be easily repaired.
After the arrival OF the Tyee at Juneau
there was no delay on account of the
claim of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany for salvage as Judge johnson was
at Juneau and trip to Sitka was unnec-
essary.

transpacific markets than are the peo-

The state is traversed by three trans
continental railroads, with strong PROB
ability that within i've years four otner
roads will make their terminal on the
shores of Puget sound. Washington
. has go miles of sea coast; Its narpors'
and inland seas have a combined shore
line OF more than 1900 miles. suffie-
tent to furnish safe anchorage for the
fleets of the world. The commercial
advantages of Washington will appear
of still greater importance when, for
moment only, attention is called to our
trade relations with the Hawaiian Is
lands, the Philippines and Japan, not
TO mention China and Siberia In
