& Sons blockmaking plant, one of the

kind in the country, was destroyed by
fire, Wednesday, and the loss will reach
fully $4,000, with only $4,000 insurance

Gently constructed. escaped the flames,
and ii will be possible for the firm to
carry on it's business in Il small way
there until new buildings are construct
ed and the ruins replaced.
The fire started about 4 o'clock
Wednesday morning, in the forge room
on the third floor. A large quantity OF
paint and oil was stored nearby and
upon this inflammable material the
flames soon got a strong hold. A series
of explosions scattered the burning
paint and oil to all parts of the build
ing and within a few minutes the entire
structure was in flames. The main
building, as well as the machinery l,
contained, was q total loss, but the fire
was kept away from a recently con-
structed extension and this was saved
The burned building was an ole
three-story affair of wood with brick
front and was not very valuable. The
principal loss was on expensive machin'
cry and stock on hand. The hrIn
manufactures all varieties of blocks
nsed in ship rigging.

Collector Ivy at Sitka Sends
Spicy Message
In Answer to Order Regarding Cana

Has No Intention CT Letting Them In.
fringe on Our Rights.

Washington, Feb. 2G-Some time ago
the secretary Of the treasury received
unofficial information to the effect that
j. w. Ivy, collector OF customs at Sit
ka. had instructed his deputy at Uni
laska not to permit Canadian vessels
presumably about to engage in pelagic
sealing to obtain supplies at that port.
The collector was directed to send a
statement of the facts to the depart
ment and was informed that if such or
der3 had been given they must be re-
scinIed. The department received a
telegram from Ivy, today, saying:
My instructions We're not against
vessels engaged in alleged legal seal
fishing but against Canadian vessels
actually engaged in pelagic sealing,
which is illegal and criminal, when
committed within the marine iurisdic-
ton Of the United States. If there is
an ancient treaty between the United
States ard Great Britain by which
British subjects can commit depreda-
tions. destroying American property,
and depicting our revenue of tens of
thousands of dollars annually, while
our own citizens are denied these privi-
leges. the sooner such treaty is abro-
gated the better
Our attitude regarding international
complications with Great Britain need
cause you no uneasiness, as the poach-
ing season is not yet opened. Your new
collector will arrive in time to enforce
your orders. My Americanism will not
allow me to rescind an order which
gives British subjects privileges with
in our marine jurisdiction which are
denied our own people.
There is another matter that may
attract your attention. I have recently
issued orders to the deputy at Skagway.
copy of which has been sent you,
which has put the Canadian officers To-
Gated there out of business and sent
them to their own territory.
You are aware of the fact that this
officer became so offensive that he inter.
fered with American officers in the dis
charge of their official duties, opened
United States customs mail, dominated
over the railway officials, Disseminated
in the order of shipment in favor of Ca

from Seattle, established a Canadian
quarantine at Skagway, collected mon
