LETTER FROM CAPT. ROBINSON.
Assistant Quartermaster Thanks
Chamber of Commerce.

At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday a letter was read
from Capt. Robinson, of the United
States quartermaster' department, thank
ing the members of the chamber for their
expression of confidence in the honesty of
his conduct of the affairs of the govern
ment at Seattle.
II assure you" the letter says, that 1
have taken the proper steps to obtain an
official investigation of all matters per-
tanning to the business of my office, and
have asked that this examination be made
sweeping and thorough, relative to every
official act of mine since l assumed duty
here.
II have just been informed by one of the
leading business men of Tacoma that 1t
Is believed there by many that this ac-
tion on the part of the Tacoma News
has been caused by Oregon and Califor-
MIA influence, induced by jealousy of Pu-
get sound ports. 1t Is needless to say,
however, in this connection, that what
ever action may be taken, so long as I
continue to remain here, / shall shape
my official acts in accordance with what
! regard as the best interests of the
general government, and in so doing / feel
that am not trespassing in any way
upon the rights and privileges of people
residing upon the Sound"

The Eastern lumber market at the pres
ent time is very favorable to washington
fir While the demand for LUMBER might
better he designated as moderate, the man
ufacturers of the Coast, IL Is stated, are
In a better condition as regards market
than either the yellow or white pine minis,
Among the large lumber dealers ana
manufacturers of the Mississippi valley
territory is Lyman l.. George, of Mime
apolis. who for several days past has been
on Puget sound looking over trade condl-
tions. In no lumber district in the Uni
ted States, he says are the prospects so
bright as here
There is every prospect that Coast mills
will be able to maintain the present list
in the Eastern market" he said last night
at the Butler. ALREADY the yellow and
white pine manufacturers are in condi-
ton of chaos. The yellow pine mills have
suspended their list because it has be-
come inoperative There is little or no de-
mand for that product. The consequence
is that prices for this lumber is whatever
1t will bring, and promises to continue so
for some time at least. The white pine
mills are not in such bad predicament,
although the cut in yellow is taking away
a good deal of their territory. The whole
thing summed up-there is lively fight
on between yellow and white pine, with
the former taking the lead in low prices.
To a great extent this state of AFFAIRS IS
due to a surplus stock and a slow market.
Fir lumber is better situated. There
is no surplus stock nor is there likely to
be any. A great deal of the product of the
Coast mills is going to Alaska, and to for
eign countries. Again, much time has been
spent here in getting out railroad heavy
tmbers, all of which leaves a stock on
hand only sufficient to supply the Eastern
demand.
ION June l the logging camps of the
state will close down. This action will
prevent any overproduction. great ma
jority of the mills In this section are now
laying in a supply of logs to last them for
the six weeks inactivity of the logging
camps, and while all will have sufficient
stock to keep them running during the
whole period. with the foreign orders now
on hand there is not much prospect of the
Eastern markets receiving more than they
can conveniently handle. For this reason,
say prices on fir lumber viii be MAIN
tanned, and the market will remain
strong. 1t is pleasing to see the Coast
mills so absolutely in control of the sit
uation as they are at present"

well connected, and could not be broken

Second avenue. He Immediately proceed
ed to the hotel and entered his apart
ments by rear door, and found the two
defendants In the act of searching his
bureau.
He shouted for help, and stepped out
into the hall. MCGOWAN came rushing out
but Lincoln barred his way at the head
of the steps to the lower floor. AS Lin
coin aimed a blow at MCGOWAN the latter

the piece of shoe heel which he left In
Lincolns room.
Edward Hawkins appeared for the de-
PENDANTS. He attempted to make Lin
coin admit that he was excited at the
time of the burglary, and therefore
might he mistaken in his identification of
the men.
II wasn't excited" replied Lincoln, ~

You were not scared?" asked Attorney
Hawkins. Are you then accustomed to
razors and being burglarized?'
"Why should I be frightened or ex-
cited?" returned Lincoln. II didn't
think there was any danger"
WAS MCGOWAN wearing an overcoat at
the time?" asked the lawyer.
ct don't know what sort of clothes
either of them wore" said the witness.
IF you don't remember their clothes,
how can you remember their faces"
Lincoln was equal to the occasion.

hours and afterward not be able to tell
what she wore"
Capt Sullivan, Officers Corbett and
Burkman also testified for the prose-
cution.

STEAMER LhkNE L|bE[ED.
OUTCOME OF COLLISION WITH
SHIP QUEEN ELIZABETH.
IL Is Alleged That the American
Vessel Answered signals, but Did
Not Follow Them in Maneuvering
Damages for $4,000 Claimed.

The first official story of the collision
between the British ship queen Elizabeth
and the American steamship Lakme off
Point No Point at 4 o'clock on the morn
ing of April H. as viewed from the Brit
ish company's side, was told yesterday ia
the federal court through hhh filed py
Preston, Carr q Gilman, counsel for the
Queen Elizabeth, against the Lakme for
sums aggregating about $4,000
1t is claimed that the collision was in
no waY caused by the fault ~ negligence
of the Elizabeth or those on boa. / of her,
nor the tugboat to when she was 1T
tached, but was so ely due to the care
lessness and negligence Of those in charge
of the Lakme because. being steam
vessel, she failed to avoid TIE l2lizao beth,
which is a sailing vessel 1t is also al
legged that the steamship was negligently
and improperly managed and navigated.
The ship Queen ELIZABETH is owned by
the Queen Elizabeth Company, Limited,
a British corporation. At the time of
the collision she was on a voyage from
Shanghai to Port Blakeley under chatter
for a cargo of lumber. April 10 the tug
Tyec was engaged at Port Townsend to
tow the Elizabeth from Port Townsend to
Port Blakeley
1t is alleged in the comp amt that at
about o'clock on the morning of April
IA the Elizabeth, in tow by the Tyee was
on POint-No-Boint, with ughfS In place
and crew on the lookout. The same is
also alleged of the Tyee. About this time
the Lakme appeared in sight, proceed
ing north and in the opposite direction
from the Tyee and her tow. The COM
plant says that at that time TIE beats
were about one and one-nals miles from
the western shore of Puget sound ana
two and one-half miles from the eastern
shore. The tugboat gave Two whistles,
1t is alleged, when the boats were three
miles apart. indicating that she would
pass to starboard with her tow. 1t is
claimed that the Lakme answered the
signal properly, but instead of passing o
starboard went to pore and struck the
Elizabeth a CHANGING blow on her port
bow, staving in her plates, carrying away
her headgear and doing other damage
to the total amount of sS,374.
The Elizabeth was under charter to
proceed to Iquiqui. Chile, provision be-
ing that she should pay S102 for each
days delay in procuring her cargo. She
was delayed, IL is claimed, thirteen days,
the damage being estimated in this in
stance at $l320. The expenses of the
master and crew are estimated at $500.
