CITIZENS SEIZE
 STR. GENEvIEvE:: !:

Agent remained obdurate.
 A law was enacted at the last session of the territorial legisla- ture which specially provides for the pay and equipment of relief parties such as are required in this. emergency and in the opinion of this paper sufficiently authorizes the United States to take all necessary steps, even to the extent of scizing tn, Gentvieve ard turning her over to the Coat Guards and send her on her mission of mercy. After providing for the necessary funds to be taken out of the territorial treasury the language of the law is as follows:
 Section 3.-All United States Commissioners shall be, and they are hereby authorized and required within their respective precincts upon being notified that any person or persons, party or parties are lost
 
 abode for such a period or under such circumstances as to have req sonable apprehension that the party or parties may be lost, to send out under the guidance and direction of some competent person, who shall be appointed by such Commis- sioner to organize take charge of and direct same a rescue and relief party, for the purpose of rescuing and relieving such lost person or persons, party or parties, so re- ported to him to be lost; the ex- pense for which shall be paid out of the Territorial treasury" etc.
 It develops that early yesterday morning Captain Ross wired the Chef Commandant of the national coast guard service at Washington for authority to seize the Genevieve but at the closing of the service last evening no word had been heard in response. Supplementing his appeal the Chamber of Com mcrce yesterday met and forwarded cablegram to the same authority urging early action upon the re- aust of Captain Ross. It is expect cd that such authority will be re- ceived but in the meanwhile the Bear with her unfortunate, may be even now laundering in the newly forming slush ice in the Yukon or struggling out to the high sea.

It was reported in this paper yesterday that active preparations were being made for the Coast Guards to sail in the Dorothy in search of the White Bear and to rescue her crew and passengers who are without doubt already in great distress. After the paper had gone to press early yesterday morning Captain Ross of the Guf rds informed us that the Doro- thy could not be used and that the only vessel in port in which a re- lief party could be sent is the Genevieve owned by the Alaska Lighterage Company whose local agent had firmly refused to permit her to be so used. The Captain expressed amazement that the con sidcration for few company barge should take preference over the lives of the ill fated men aboard the White Bear. Federal Judge Holtzheimer when seen at his hotel likewise expressed deep concern over the matter and that he would proceed at once to see what his de partment might do in the premises. Both the Judge and Captain urged that abundant funds were forth coming and crew of the Coast Guards are anxious to put to sea for the relief of the lost vessel but
