DIRECT LINE TO SITKA.
Work Accomplished by the Signal
Service

BY the middle of October Sitka, the CAPT

Geographic communication with the world
This will be through the achievements of
the United States signal service, which is

New York aboard the Texan.

Straits of Magellan, and w II leave at once
for Seattle to turn over her cargo to the
Burnside. which VIII sail for Juneau from
which point she viii lay the cable to Sitka
There are between 80 and 100 men of the
signal service at dierent points in Alaska
and tie hardships that they have encoun-
tered in their work of connecting various
points by wire have been o the most severe
type.
One man was lately frozen to death and
many of the others have suffered severely
After the completion of the cable to Sitka
that point will be connected with Seattle
and then, for the first time the United
States will be able to telegraph directly
with the points In Alaska over it's own lines
AT present messages go part of the way

BARK SAILED WITHOUT BOY.
French Vessel Left New York and
Shanghaied Youth Remained.

New York reports are that international
complications were threatened yesterday
as the result of the capture of the French
bark Marechal de Gontaut by the revenue
cutter Gresham to rescue the Brooklyn
boy alleged to have been shanghaied.
A treaty signed in 17sS was invoked by Vice
Consul Velten of France in behalf of the
bark and its officers. Collector Stranahan
and his legal advisers asserted at first that
this treaty had no application to the case.
Late in the afternoon, however. Collector
Stranahan sent a revenue cutter down the
bay to take the United States guard off
the Marechal de Gontaut and released the
vessel which resumed its voyage to Yoko-
hama.
Informal instructions from Washington
directed the collector to release the ship
and to take no action against it's officers.
Collector Stranahan, however, sent Hugh
Thompson, the boy said to have been
shanghaied, to his home. This was proof
that the collector believed the boy had
been taken on the ship unlawfully but his
order releasing the ship relieved the vessel
and it's officers from prosecution.
Arthur Won BreSen,' president of the
Legal Aid Society, who was called upon
by Collector Stranahan to give his opinion
in the case, was very much aroused by the
proceedings and their final result.
IF l had been the collector that ship
would have been held" he declared with
emphasis. Il told the collector this morn
ing that the treaty of 17SS did not apply,
and that irrespective of the treaty the Of
ficers of the bark should be held for the
crime of dragging the boy by force from
the water boat.
You are not safe on the street f such
thing can be done. Why, you may be
walking along the street and meet three
French sailors, who may drag you on
board a ship and make you a sailor Even
ii the treaty did originally give the power
the French consul claims, it has been nulli-
fed by repeated acts of Congress passed in
the Intervening years.
1T was a violation of the law to take
that boy back on the bark after he escaped
to an American vessel. The only proper
proceeding would have been for the Of
ficers of the vessel to lay complaint be-
fore the United States commissioner.
charging the boy with deserton, and then
he would have been placed back on board
by a United States marshal If found
guilty"
Proceedings will be brought against the
boarding house master who brought young
Thompson to Manhattan and had him in
dentured on board the bark. Brown was
charged with shanghaiing Richard Green
berg aboard the British ship Ems in April,
1901

Despite the anxious and repeated con-

Finally he got discouraged and took the
