Valdez, a Sub-Port of Entry.

The secretary of the treasury has issued an order decla ring Valdez d sub-port of entry. This order will have the effect, as in the case of similar order issued few days ago. relative to Nome, of opening Valdez to foreign vessels.
 The secretary has also decided to remove the customs offices from Orca. The business at that poi0t is SD small that the treasury de- partment deems it unnecessary to maintain an office there.
 The action declaring Valdez Il sub-port was brought about by the representation to the department that probably 5.0O people will come here this year, and that the shipping business of the port is certain to increase greatly,

The proposed ordinance provides that the city may connect hydra ants with the water mains wherever it desires upon the payment of $35 year for each hydrant so connected. The system must be in operation and not less than 3.OOO feet of water mains laid ready for service by Oct. 3lst of this year if the ordin- ance passes.

The Bertha.

The steamer Bertha arrived last Sunday night from Seattle with 65 passengers and large amount of freight, and left on Monday on her return trip, not going to Kodiak as she usually does.
 There was some surprise mani tested when the vessel landed here to learn that Captain Johanson whe had been her master for a number of years with three other officers had been removed. A num- Der of people had been expecting such action for some time, as it was known that there was much dissat- isfaction with Capt. yohanson in regard to several matters. Those who were dismissed were Capt. O. A. Johanson. first mate Forward, second mate Healey and chief en- gineer BOyden.
 Captain Johanson has always been considered q good navigator, but took many chances with the vessel and therefore had many mar row escapes.
 Capt. C. A. knudsen is now in command of the Bertha. He is well known inAlaska and is good navigator. The old Alaska pilot, Capt. keene, has been secured for several trips as pilot.
 The following passengers arrived on the Bertha from Seattle:

Both the Alaska homestead bill and the Alaska delegate bill are in grave danger of failure unless sub stantial concessions are made bv persons who are opposed to certain features in both measures.
 Representative Lacy. chairman of the house committee on public lands, declares he will defeat the the homestead bill unless the sen ate conferccs abandon the senate amendment prohibiting the entry of soldiers scrip under the pro visions of the pending measure He declares that it would be q great injustice to allow the senate provision to stand. and that he will see the whole bill defeated before he will yield this point.
 The senate committee on terri tories held meeting Fcl. 20 to dis cuss the delegate bill. It devel- ofed during the meeting that nearly every member is opposed to the method of holding elections in Alaska, as provided by both the Cushman bill and the Beveride,. bill. Had it not been for the ab- sencc of two or three senators defi- mite action would have been taken on the bill today. This action will probably be the reporting of an amendment to the Cushman bill striking out almost everything ex- cept the enacting clause and pro- viding for the appointment of the delegate by committee instead of his election by the people. The proposed committee is to consist oi the governor of Alaska, the sur veyor-general, who is secretary of the territory ex-oificio, and the judges of the three federal district courts. It looks as if this action would be taken at the next meeting of the committee.

THE WATERBURY STRIKE.
Eighteen Men Arrested on Charge
of Assault With Intent to Kill.

Waterbury, Conn.,, March 30.-Eigh-
teen men placed under arrest on the
|change of assault with intent to kill,
the record of activity on the part
|of the police today in their efforts to
discover the authors of some of the out
breaks of violence which lave occurred
since the beginning of the strike Of mo-
tormen and conductors of the Connecti-
|cut Railway and Lighting Company
weeks ago. The men arrested
|are charged in the warrants with as
|sault on William 7. Merner and George
Marsett with intent to kill. These men
were the non-union employees of the
trolley company who had charge of a
lear which was attacked at a lonely spot
on the Waterville line. Both were as
lsaulted and one was beaten into insen-
Isibility and left lying on the rails. This
occurred a little more than a week prior
to an attack of a similar nature on a
car at Forest Park, when Policeman
Paul Mendelsohn was killed by a bullet
from a mob of masked men,. Since the
murder was committed. detectives at
ltracted by the large rewards offered,
have been quietly at work. While the
ARRESTS today are nominally for the as
Isaults of February 18th, the officials do
mot deny that they hope from this ac-
ltion to learn something that will clear
lup the mystery Of Mendelsohn's death.
lSeven of those arrested are members
of the ~trollymen's union.
Although the officials decline TO indi-
Icate the nature of the evidence on
which the arrests are based, a report
which seemed to be reliable. was cur
rent to the effect that one man would
turn states evidence.

Discovery of a Plot That May Prove
to be n Huge

New Orleans, March 30.-The passen-
ger department of the Southern Pacific
railroad has just unearthed at New Or
leans what promises to prove a huge
scandal and forgery of railroad tickets.
A coupon Of a ticket ~purporting to have
been issued by the Louisiana and
Southern Railway Company has been
turned into the New Orleans office for
Identification. There is no such road
as the Louisiana and Southern but the
manipulators of the ticket took advant-
age of the name of the Louisiana
Southern and sold to travellers coupon
tickets over the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific. Investigations have
been set On foot. The ticket bears the
signature of J. NJ. Davis, general pas
senger and ticket agent. There is no
such official known in the railroad ser
vice, certainly none connected with the
railroad in Louisiana. The ticket is a
forgery.

Buffalo, n. Y, March 30.-Justice
Murprey is to announce his findings in
the Burdick inquest in police Jul to-
morrow morning. No arrest will be
made, no warrants will be issued. The
courts findings will be interesting, as
a closing commentary on the ia
nous case. The inquest was closed
formally by Judge Murphy today, af-
ter hearing the testimony of Quinn and
King, the former bar tender and cash.
Ter of the Hotel Roland in New York.
about Pencils alleged statement to
them of his willingness to kill one
man, ever if he went to the gallows
for it. No other witnesses were called.
The Pennell inquest, which Judge
Murphey had ~announced would begin
this morning, vas postponed indefi-
nitely. The reason announced was the
absence of the witnesses from the
city. District Attorney Coastworth
was in court n said he was ready to
go ahead and that the ~postponement
was not at his request. One witness
was absent from the city. He was
Wallace Thayer, Pencils attorney
and confidential friend, up to the time
of his death. A dozen or more wit
nesses in the Pencil inquest were
present, ready to give testimony, SO. If
deemed advisable the inquest could
have proceeded and at some later day
Mr.. Thayer could have been examined.
Considerable pressure has been
brought to'bear by friends Of the Pen
nells to avert the inquest and post
pone it indefinitely, if not block it
permanently. When the Pennel in
quest is held, if at all, the probability
is that neither in PennelpS papers nor
effects, will anything be produced to
throw tight or the affairs of Burdick
or to add any valuable information to
the Burdick case. The Pencil heirs
lave been reluctant from the outset
to have any Of the dead mans papers
made public.
Alexander J. Quinn, the bar tender
from New York, was the first witness
today. He said he made the acquaint-
ance of Arthur r. Pencil early in
December last, at the Hotel Roland.
Asked to relate the conversation he
had with Pennel at that time. Quinn
said: Mr.. Pennell had several drinks.
He gave me his card. During the con-
v~ersation Pennel said: You do not
know what is passing through my
mind, boys. There is one m a 1 could
kill now, even If L hung Tor 1t.
F. G. H. King, former cashier Of the
Hotel Roland, who was present during
the conversation related by Quinn was
the next witness. In detailing this
conversation King said: "Pennell dis
cussed a picture that was hanging on
the wall of the room and after having
a few drinks, he said: There is one
man I could kill, although l might
swing for it, After having another
drink I proposed a toast which was
responded to by Mr.. Pencil. 1 think
he said: Here's to death at the
same time he was having the greatest
time of his life, although it was at the
expense of another"
After King had identified a picture
of Pennell, Judge Murphey announced
the Burdick inquest closed.
