FIRST SAILING OF SEASON FOR
 ANCHORAGE
Barges and Tug Expected to Reach Head of
 Inlet Today

The s. s. Alameda, Captain Ginger, left here with nearly 200 passengers and 56O tons of freight on the initial trip of the year to Anchorage, but there is some doubt as to her being able to discharge there, this being q month in advance of the usual opening of navigation on the inlet.
 Advices received early to,.s.y from government officials at Anchorage stated that the tug Annie w., with barges on which to discharge freight had not yet arrived.
 Captain Petersen, of the tug L.. Roscoe left on the Admiral Watson with instructions to get the tug and barges through to head of the inlet
 Conflicting reports have been re- ceived as to ice conditions in the low CT inlet. A north wind following the recent high tide which foated lie ice off the flats cleared Knik Arm, for cing the foes into Turnagain Arm and down to FOrelands.
 It is the intention of Captain Ginger to go through to Anchorage if possible and discharge his passen- gers there at any event. In case some mishap has delayed the barges the freight will be discharged e;Nher at Seldovia or Port Graham or in case conditions make this impractical it will be brought back here.
 Both railroad officials and steam boat men are exceedingly anxious that the cargo be landed at Anchorage, as it is needed to enable early activities. If the ice is sufficiently broken up to enable discharging of cargoes from freighters now on the way, work on Turnagain Arm section will be co.'s siderably advanced.
 The steamer brought the following passengers for Seward: w. L. Haller, N. P. Hansen, Mrs. Harriet Stevens, Mrs. I. NJ. Anderson and baby, T. NJ. West and forty-f @ steerage.

Whether Germany will force the
