MAROONED CREW IS

WASHINGTON AUTHORITIES RE
PORT MEN TAKEN OFF AND DUE
IN SEATTLE ABOUT TODAY ON
REVENUE CUTTER THETIS FROM
UNALASKA.

Good news was received yesterday in
Astoria from Washington that the 24O
men wrecked at Nelson Lagoon on the
John Currier had been taken of about
the l4th Of the present month by the
revenue cutter Mccullough. The men
were taken to Unalaska and transferred
to the revenue cutter Thetis, a l200-ton
boat. which left that port on the six
teenth for either Seward or Seattle.
As no reports have been received that
she stopped at Seward it is thought that
she steered straight for Seattle, where
she is due today, 1t is expected that
before another "a hours a full report
of the wreck will be furnished.
The prompt reply OF the government
shows that since the first news OF the
wreck was sent to Washington that the
government has been working for the
rescue of the men ever since. There are
ITO white men in the party and 1870
Japanese and Chinese. Most of them
make their home here and have been in
the employ of the Alaska Fishermen's
Packing Company.

THE TOPSY-
TURvY TARIFF

As we understand It, the most
serious objection made by out-and-
out protectlonists to tarln revision
Is that the mere threat OF such an
undertaking would disturb business
hurtfully. This is probably true.
But II Congress is TO attempt to
arrange two sets OF duties, there
must be handling OF the tariff and
there need bo no apprehension II
the business IS in the hands Of the
friends OF protection
In any case, there are two facts
which must not bo lost sight Of:
one IS that there can be no warrant
for retreat from tho present posi-
ton occupied by the tariff and by
the protcctionists until the people
signify at the polls their wish for
such n proceeding The other IS
that under no circumstances should
any useful domestic industry be
crippled and hurt as n sacrifice to
foreign manufacturers and American
free traders North American.

STEEL CROSS
TIES TRIED
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD TEST
ING SUBSTITUTE FOR
WOOD.

philadelphia. Jan. 2S.-The adop-
ton OF a steel crosstie filled with a
mixture OF asphalt and rock is the
newest effort to all the place OF the
old-fashioned wooden sleeper that
has been In use so many years. The
Pennsylvania Railroad has decided
to install 1000 OF these new lies
just east of Lockport on the Pitts
burg division OF the mainline.
1t is becoming harder each year
to get good wooden ties. with the
result that the railroads OF the
country are casting about to find a
substitute. Steel ties OF two kinds
are now being subjected to expert
ment by the Pennsylvania.
The newest tie ~ steel casting
with an asphalt and rock filling.
The steel facing extends only around
three sldes OF the tie. the asphals
being exposed on the under side,
which rests on tho stone ballast.
The size and shape are the same
as those OF q wooden tie, though
the weight is about 100 pounds. or
three times Ss great as that OF a
wooden sleeper. This great weight.
with the asphalt surface resting on
the ballast. 10 calculated to reduce
