 SIBERIAN TRADE

SEATTLE, Aug. 18.-As a result of the seizure of goods by Russian officials, on account of failure to clear from Petropavlosk, from the Nome trading schooner Hettie B., and the failure to secure redemption of the goods seized upon the Dia mond L., last year, an effort is now being made to cooperate with Nome so that the schooners trading from Alaskans ports can be secure from the Siberian officials.
 Today, therefore, the Alaska Bureau, cooperating with the Nome Chamber of Commerce wired to the Russian ambassador at Washington D. C., requesting that official to aid in the extension of the free trade area of Northern Siberia southwards below Cape Navarin.
 The wire, follows an outline of the reasons for this extension as received from Nome, and shows that it is impossible for small trading schooners to sail from Nome and call at Petropavlosk before trading at the various points.
