Stowaways Pay Full Fare

The steamship Yucatan,of the Alaska Steamship Company, arrived in Seattle
 from Seward and Valdez recently with about 100 passengers including a dozen stowaways and contraband pas sengers. These latter were presumed to come from Cordova, as it was not known that they were aboard before that point was passed.
 The discovery led to an inveStiga- ton and evidence was secured which makes Capt. O'Brien suspect that member, of the engine room crew were responsible for their presence. After a lot of questioning one man of the crew was pointed out as the man who had taken the men aboard and promised transportation to Seattle for the receipt of from Sl5 to S2O head. This lead was followed and the result was tha, all but S6 of the money paid over for the illicit transportation was secured and returned to the men, who were thereupon assessed the regular tariff.
 They are deserters from the railroad camps of M. J. Heney, in from Cor dova. and each man had a winters pay in his pocket. The payment of the full fare was not made without protest however.

President Answers Query About His
Authority to Exercise Govern
mental Functions.
President Roosevelt has sent a
brief message to the house in answer
to a resolution inquiring by what
authority he has exercised the func-
tons of government in the Panama
canal zone since the fifty-eighth con
gress, or by what right the legislative,
executive and judicial functions in the
zone have been performed since that
date. The message follows:
Civil government has been main
tanned in the canal zone under my
direction pursuant to the authority
created by the treaty between the
United States and Panama November
10, 1908, and the acts of congress ap-
proved June 8, 1902; April 28, 1904;
March 8, 1905; December 2, 1905; June
30, 1906; March A. 1907, by which the
right to maintain civil government in
the canal zone was granted the United
States; the duty to maintain it was
imposed upon the president, and its
means for maintenance we're from year
to year expressly and specifically ap
propriated by congress"

cEYLoN HAVING A BOOM.
Trade Outlook the Best Ever Known
in the History of the Island.

Trade Outlook the Best Ever Known
in the History of the Island.
Ceylon as a whole is experiencing
period of exceptional prosperity and
the trade outlook is the best ever
known in the history of the island, ac-
cording to the Journal of the American
Asiatic Association. Tea, cocoanuts,
cacao, cardamons and citronella are
paying well, and rubber and camphor
are still more profitable.
There has been continued boom in
rubber planting, which now occupies
about $4,000 acres, while tea has had
a revival and high prices are now being
realized. Camphor prices are very
high, and the cultivation has been ex-
tended 80 that there are now some 300
acres under this product.
A transportation question that has
been agltated in Ceylon for a long
while, and that is now being brought
actively to the front again, Is that of
connecting Ceylon to India by a rail-
road across Adams bridge and the shall,
low bodies of water lying between
Rameswaram and Tallaimannar at the
northern end Of the island.
The South Indian Railway company
Is bringing its line to the extreme point
of the small island of Rameswaram, so
that only small gap Of water will in
tervene between the terminal of the In
dian and Ceylon railways.
If the connection is made at all Il
