SEATTLE, June 21-The expedition of government officials on the Coast Guard cutter Mojaye to Alaska, begin @ing a round the world cruise, will have no such important bearing or the future government policy toward Alaska as will the later trip of Sec"c- tagy Fall of the Department of the h. terior
 Assistant Secretary Huston, the head of the Moiave expedition, which sailed from here yesterday, will go to study technical problems. Secretary Fali will go by himself to study what may be termed as broad administration problems.
 Secretary Huston has borrowed the Mojave from the Treasury department md is placing his assistant secretary aboard her to make a general survey of the field work in his department. That includes the operations Of the fisheries bureau in Alaska and the op- ,1att0ns ol the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce throughout t1e world Hence the voyage O. cir"uLl- navigation.

 Although Old Russia was in treaty with the United States, Japan and Great Britain for the regulation of he fur seal business, no information has been forthcoming from the COm- nander islands for several years. Ii may be that seal pirates have been op- crating there in defiance of treaty pro visions. At last accounts the seal herd on the Commander Islands numbered about 1S0,0OO, while that on the Japa- 0ese Islands numbered about 60OOOO, or approximately the same number as on the Pribilofs

BALL GROUNDS NOW
 IN GOOD CONDITION

In response to the general call for volunteers to work on the baseball grounds over a hundred men and wo- men presented themselves last evening ready to go the limit in preparing ground on which the national game could be played.
 To the ladies of Seward must be given the credit for carrying the plan to a successful cOnclusion it was mo- ticeable that they were among the first to arrive and the last to leave in addition to furnishing a lunch that as stunned the proportions of banquet. Those who were not engaged in presid- ing over the ration counter were busy with hoe, rake or shovel contributing their effort to do as much work as pos sible
 Long before the appointed time, six o'clock, there was a good sized crowd on the grounds and much work was accomplished When the main crowd arrived with the attending supply of hoes, rakes, scythes, wheelbarrOws, etc, the grass, willow bushes, rocks and gravel began to disappear as if by magic and within a short time a vast difference in the appearance of the Outfeld and diamond was noticed. The trash was either wheeled to a dumping place or else was burned and one not knowing the circumstances of the occasion would have though that some homesteader was having a clear ing bee The grounds were given a haircut, massaged and curried with all powders and small stumps removed and now presents some appearance as ball ground. The base lines were run and points fixed for the bases home plate and the pitchers box. When the next game is played the players will be greeted with a 'Esure- enough" ball grounds, everything pos sible being done under the ciTcum- stances to put the playing field in or der.
