CANADIANS BARRED
Acta of Usurpation Suddenly 8topped
Collectors Orders Sends Sealer
Flying Bag and Baggage.
Home time ago the Secretary of the
Treasury received unofficial lnforma
tlon that .1. W. Ivey, Collector of Cus
toms at Sitka, had instructed his
deputy at Unalaska not to permit
Canadian vessels presumably about to
engage in pelagic sealing to obtain
supplies at that port. The collector
was directed to send a statement of
the facts to tho department, and was
Informed that If such orders had been
given they must be reclnded. Wednes
day the department received a tele
gram from Ivey saying: My in
structions were not against vessels
engaged In alleged legal seal fishing,
hut against Canadian vessels actually
engaged In pelagic sealing, which Is
HlegRl and criminal when committed
within the marine Jurisdiction of the
United States. If there Is an an
cient treaty between the United
States and Great Britain by which
subjects can commit depredations, de
stroying American property and de
pleting our revenue of tens and thou
sands of dollars annually, while our
own citizens are denied these privil
eges, the sooner such treaty Is abro
gated the better. Your solicitude re
garding international complications
with Great Britain need cause you no
uneasiness, as the poaching season is
not yet opened. Your new collector
will arrive in time to enforce your or
ders. My Americanism will not al
low me to reclnd an order which gives
British subjects privileges within
our marine Jurisdiction which are de
nied our own people. There Is an
other matter that may attract your
attention. I have recently Issued or
ders to the deputy at SUagway, a copy
of which has been sent you, which
has put tho Canadian officers located
there out of business and sent them
to their own territory. You are aware
of the fact that this officer became so
offensive that he Interfered with
American officers in tho discharge of
their official duties, opened United
Stales custom mall, dominated over
the railroad officials, discriminated In
the order of shipment In favor of Ca
nadian merchandise against that
shipped from Seattle, established a
Canadian quarantine at Skagway. col
lected moneys and performed other
Bets of British sovereignty In a port
of the United Slates, such as hoisting
with bravado the cross of St. George
from the flag staff of his custom house.
I have sent tho concern, bag, bag
gage, flag and other paraphernalln,
flying out of the country. You may
fear the shadow of International com
plications and rescind this order, but
a Reed, an Olney or a Blaino would
not."

SAN FRANCISCO HURRICANE.
High Winds Nearly Caus th Wreck
of Solace Much Damage Den
to Shipping.
Ono of the heavtMt southwest
storms that has been experienced In
many years was experienced at Han
Francisco, Cal., Tuesday mornnlng.
The wind attained great velocity,
blowing 45 miles an hour In the city,
while at Point Reyes it reached oo
mllen. Ships dragged their anchors
or broke their moorings at their docks,
a fishing boat was capsized, the tele
phone and el"ctrio wires wore down
and awnings, shade trees and fences
were wrecked and pedestrians wre
greatly Inconvenienced. Telegraphic
communication with the outside world
was cut off. The full force of the
storm was felt on the bay and the bar
was so rough thnt vessels were una
ble to leave port. North of the fer
ries craft, of all sorts were tossed
about like eggshells. The violent
south wind stirred the bay Into a roll
ing tempestuous sea. against which
anchors were almost futllo. Tho
transport Bolace, with nothing but 600
tonn of coal to keep her down, broke
from her anchorage, and careened
about the bay like a drunken sailor.
She" drifted broadside on until a colli
sion between thn government steamer
Albatross seemed Imminent, but sho
veered off In the nick of time. Thn
wind and tho swell caused her to drift
helplessly, sending her finally toward
the transport wharf at Folsom street.
Fortunately tho direction of the swell
carried the transport around until she
Just, cleared tho buffer and swung out
Into the stream. The transport Han
cock and Rosecrans, Just arrived from
Manila, remained In tho stream. ?o
effort was made to land their passen
gers. The San Francisco lightship
No. 70, located seven miles from Point
Lobos, parted her moorings during the
height, of tho storm and was soon drift
ing toward the harbor, which she
finally made. Three three-story
houses were blown down In the Mis
sion district. The gale ob It swept
over tho Presidio reservation left In
Its trail wreck and ruin. Dozens of
tents wero wrenched from their posi
tions and after being carried high In
the air were landed yardB away. In
the residence portion of the city bor
dering on the military reservation
much damage was done to high fences
and lofty chimneys.

DAMAGE BY FLOODS.
Hundred of Thousand of Dollar
Loss to Manufacturing Plant.
30,000 Workmen Idle.
The flood which started Friday and
continued Saturday created Immense
damage throughout Pennsylvania,
New York. New Jersey West Virginia
and a portion of Ohio, causing dam
age that will amount to hundreds of
thousands nf dollars, In addition to
compelling 30,000 workmen to remain
idle two or three days. Railroads
were delayed In all sections for from
15 to 30 hours by reason nf washouts
or tracks overflowed. Some of the
regular through trains were necessari
ly abandoned Saturday and malls
were delayed and telegraph and tele
phone service was badly demoralized.
The rivers and contrlbntary streams
in New York and New Jersey were
everywhere out of their banks. In
Pennsylvania tho damage was very
great. Pittsburg was probably thn
heaviest sufferer by reason of the
forced stoppage of the factories and
mills contlngous to the rivers over
flowing and submerging the machin
ery. Owing to the notice sent out
by the Weather Bureau the residents
living along thn water fronts had
moved out, and loss of life reported is
small. The flood In the Ohio, at "the
Junction of the Monongahela and Alle
gheny rivers was within 114 feet of
tlie highest stage of water the records
show at that point. Wheeling, Will
iamson, Pnrkersliurg and many other
towns In West Virginia were sufferers
by the torrent of waters. Steuben-
vllle. East Liverpool and Cincinnati,
O.. were along the lino of the raging
waters and the estimated damage may
bo exceeded by tho reality when stock
Is taken. Tho flood was one of the
worst In years. It will be several
days hefore tho full extent of the
damage Is known.

BUSINESS IS BRISK.
Prospects Good for a Heavy 8prlng
Trade Large Exports of
Wheat and Corn.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says: Although the short
est month of the year was further
curtailed by two holidays and handi
capped by the most severe storms of
the winter, industrial and trade re
sults were most satisfactory. The
closing week brought a general re
sumption or activity in lines that suf
fered from the wealhor. and prepara
tions for an exceptionally heavy busi
ness was reported at many points,
Southern cities aloone being back
ward. Pig Iron production suffers
at a time when a maximum output
would not be excessive. This dif
ficulty extends all along the Hue.
Pressure for structural material is al
ready severe and will probably be
still more so as the regular building
season draws nearer. Further hard
ening ot quotations Is reported, and
inquiries for delivery In 1903 are not
exceptional. More foreign steel has
been engaged and domestic concerns
are bidding in the German market.
Makers of cotton roods are very cau
tious about undertaking future deliv
eries, owing to the uncertainty as to
labor and raw material. Kxport or
ders aro still available, but at prices
slightly below the views of holders.
As a rule, woolen goods are well main
tained and In brisk demand, but new
lines of heavy weights are not sought.
Cereals opened the week with a de
cided reaction. As usual, specula
tive liquidation carried the decline too
far, and there followed the customary
recovery. Wheat came Into sight
rather more freely than a year ago,
and the atlantlc shipment ot flour
made a hotter comparison than In
recent preceding weeks, but total ex
ports of wheat from the United States,
flour included, were but 3,185.052 bush
els, against 4.321,249 bushels a year
ago, Corn showed the customary
loss In both movements, receipts
amounting to only 2,312,064 bushela
against 4,849,783 bushels last year,
while Atlantic coast shipments were
184.882 bushels, compared with 3,421,
682 bushels In the same week of 1901.
Cotton ruled fairly steady at the rec
ent advance, which attracted more
liberal marketing at the South, but
supplies in first bands aro repprted
very low. Wool has been taken less
freely by mills, but dealers show no
lack ot confidence in the future ot that
staple. Failures for the week num
bered 215 in the United States, against
179 last year, and 35 In Canada,
against 31 last year.
