Alaska Steamship Company Does Its Part Toward Retaining Fish
 Business for Americans.

SEATTLE, Nov. 16.-The fishing interests of Puget Sound are hopeful of retaining the fresh fish industry of Alaska which has been drifting to Prince Rupert and threatening loss of several millions annually to Seat tie interests.
 The Alaska Steamship company has put into effect rate of $5 per ton on all shipments of fresh salmon and halibut from all Southeastern Alaska ports to Seattle. The reduc- tion is the result of representations of fishermen who formerly shipped their catches to Seattle but have re- gently been taking them to Prince Rupert, showing that the transporta- tion companies were to large ex- tent responsible for the fishermen disposing of their fish in foreign ports.
 The Seattle Chamber of Commerce, it is understood, have taken the mat ter up with transcontinental lines and is making an effort to secure their cooperation in retaining all the fresh fish trade of Alaska to the Eastern states, which has practically passed over to the Grand Trunk. The matter has also been taken up with the department of commerce and a strong effort will be made at the com ing session of congress to have the
 bonding privileges extended Cana dian railroads rescinded, and the tax of one cent per pound on impor- tations of fresh fish restored.

 ance of Treadwell Employe..

SEATTLE. Nov. 16.--Edward Krause. of Petersburg, Alaska, who is believed to be implicated in the mysterious disappearance of William Christie. an amalgamator in the em- ploy of the Treadwell company, at Juneau. was arrested in Seattle last night immediately after his arrival from the north.

 Krause is we'll known in Peters burg and was an admirer of Mrs. Christie before her marriage few months ago, and it is believed that he has done away with her husband for revenge.
 : The Juneau authorities. after the disappearance of Christie, wired all steamers sen route to Seatt.s to as certain if he was a passenger or anyone answering the description of Krause. krause is reported to have come to Seattle under an ss- stunned name and denied his identity when arrested.

Nearly all its Contents

burned to the ground Friday a little

child, while the father is laid up with
a cut foot. There are several sur
vving children in the family.
