Itissaid at the State Department that the seizure of the “British steamer Coquillan at Port Etches, Alaska, by the revenue steamer Corwin was in consequence of a violation of | the United States customs regulations govern- ing the entry and clearance of foreign vessels involved in the case. The only way the Coquil lan could legaliy enter the barbor of Port Etches, which is not a port of entry, was by first obtaining permission from the nearest cua- toms officer, who in this instance was the col- lector at Bitl Alaska, The contention that acustoma officer should have been stationed at Port Etches for the benefit of foreign ships is not tenable, for the reason that each government is supposed tobe the best ‘of the proper taxation of its custom jouses, and can hardly be expected to them along the coast simply to suit the conven- ience of visiting vessels. —o NOT A HIT OFF FITZGERALD.
