ors' trust on Puget Sound. prevailing
for many years past, and which,
whatever may be said against It, has
cffectually kept up the wages of the
sailormen to top notch place, is at
an end. Internal dissensions among
the members broke the trust, and the
first evidence of the rupture came

American ship Alexander Gibson,
which was loading at Tacoma for
New York. David Evans of Tacoma,
for years representing that port in

the crew in competition, but 500
