WANTS THE TRAFFIC.
Order in Council From Ottawa
Shuts American Vessels Out
Of Large Yukon Trade.

Seattle, March 23.-Canada seeking
to monopolize the trade of the KlOn-
dixie and other British Yukon districts,
will hencefOrward prevent American
vessels from transporting freight of
Canadian origin from Vancouver and
other British Columbia ports to those
sections by way of St. Michael and
the lower Yukon. An order in council
to this effect has issued from Ottawa.
Formal notification of the passage of
the order and the substance of its con-
tents as received Yesterday by Collector
of Port BOell, of Vancouver, and infor-
nation of its receipt came. to the man
ayers of the various transportation
companies plying between this port
and Alaska late III the day.
The news from Vancouver carries an
intimation that Canada proposes going
still further in the same direction,
namely, to prevent the transportation
of freight of Canadian origin consigned
to the Canadian Yukon in any Ameri.
can vessel from the ports of British
Columbia to Lynn Canal The passage
of such an order respecting Vancouver
and Lynn canal, local managers say,
would prove serious blow to the ship
ping of this poIt-at least the South
eastern Alaska lines. At the present
time the bulk of the KloDdike freight
handled 10y the Seattle lines is picked
up at Victoria and Vancouver, espe-
cially the latter
American lines are now favored. 1t
is pointed out by the Canadians that
the Seattle vessels are faster safer and
larger carriers, and consequently they
handle a majority of the British Yukon
business originating at Vancouver and
Victorii. At the present time there is
but one vessel, the Canadian Pacific y
Princess May, plying between Vancou-
Yer and Lynn canal.
Seattle shipping men say the infiu-
ence of the White Pass 4 Yukoon with
the Canadian government brought
about the passage of the order prohib.
iting the transportation of Dominion
goods in American vessels for shipment
to the Klondike by way Of St Michael.
The order will work to the great adj
vantage Of that corporation, for its en-
forcement means that every pound of
freight consigned to the Canadian Yu-
kOn districts must go over the White
Pass road.

London, March 23.-Advices from
official sources say that the Japanese
made another attack on Port Arthur
Monday night.
The attack was begun 10y the torpe-
do boat tiotilla and was followed by a
bombardment by the battleships and
cruisers. The extent of the damage
done to the fortress is not stated.
The report of the attack is confirmed
from official sources in Tokyo, which
state that two of the heavy siege guns

concentrated fire of the fleet and that

Tokyo advices further state that as
a result of the attack the entrance to
the harbor of Port Arthur has been
completely blocked

are more addicted TO horse racing and
gambling than they are to the pursuits
of agriculture. The president endeav-
ored to impress upon his visitors ideas
OF industry and thrift. While the lee
ture was being interpreted the Indians
listened in solemn silence. As they
emerged from the executive office their
faces beamed with smiles.
The callers, who were presented to
the president by Representative Burke,
of South Dakota, included several
chiefs. among them American Horse,
Young Man Afraid and Red Hawk
They informed the president that
they owned 40 900 ponies and the same
number of cattle. The president told
them they ought to dispose of at least
half of their ponies and increase their
holdings of cattle to 100, 900. He
frankly told them that if they would
stop horse racing and gambling and
devote their energies to cattle raising
and agriculture they soon might be-
come valuable citizens. The policy of
the government, he said, was to take
care of the older Indians, but the
younger members of the tribes would
soon have to look out for themselves.
