The Merchants’ Association of San Francisco has taken up the matter in carnest and now awaits the answer from the Skagway Chamber of Commerce giv- ing data and statistics. On October 17 last the following com- munication was addressed to the Skag- way Chamber of Commerce: ASKS FOR STATISTICS. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17, 1902. Secretary Skagway Chamber of Commerce, Skagway, Alaska. Dear S The attention of the board _of directors of the Merchants' Assoclation of San Francisco has been called to an article in one of the dally papers, regarding a movement of the Skagway Chamber of. Commerce for the purpose of securing a direct steamship line be- tween San Francisco and Skagway, and that you are proceeding to gather statistics regard- ing passengers, freight, etc. We would be very glad if you would kindly furnish us with a copy of such data as you have on this matter, in order that the "di- rectors of this association may consider wheth- er there §s any way in which the Merchants' Association can assist in securing better and more direct transportation facilities between this city and Alaska. Awaiting your reply, we remain, very truly yours, THE MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION of SAN FRANCISCO, L. M. KING, Secretary. The following is the reply received: Skagway Chamber of Comme: SKAGWAY, Alas., L. M. King Esq., Secretary of the Merchants' Association, Mills_Buflding, San Francisco, Cal. Dear Sir: Answering your esteemed faver of the 17th uit, I am sorry to say that we have not the information you desire now at hand. A committee is, however, gathering data with which to make a showing to your peo- ple upon the question of a more direct steam- ship communication between the ports of Skag- way and San Francisco, and it will be forward- ed to you as soon as it is reported by our com- mittee. There is mno doubt that your organiza- | tion can be of incalculable benefit to us, not only in this, but in kindred matters in which there is a vital affinity between our two ports. We have the honor to remain, very respect- tully, E SBKAGWAY CHAMBER OF COM- (ERCE, TH. ¥ H. B. LEFEYRE, Secretary. SYMMES GIVES HIS VIEWS. Frank J. Symmes, president of the Merchants’ Association, said yesterday. in discussing the contemplated movement: 1 saw the special report and dispatch in The Call and there is no question as to the great importance of the movement toward a direct line from San Francisco. All merchants in the | city are interested in having a direct line to Skagway. If sufficient freight and. business can be obtained, the merchants will do any- thing tc further such line of direct com- ication. The Merchants' Association is pushing the matter forward and has expressed ree. Nov. 3, 1902 | a dcsire to establish a freight line of steamers | [toa d a transhipment at Seattle or other in- termediate points. Such direct commercial in- tercourse would be of undoubted benefit to San Francisco trade. If it is a fact that the comparnies operating from Pugey Sound ports to Skagway have raised their rates, it 1s not unlikely that rates would be made from San Francisco to compete with the Sound shippers. | TESTIMONY FAVORING THE MARINE ENGINEERS James Johnson Testifies That J. F. Sullivan Was to Have Been Discharged Anyhow. The inquiry into the appeal of the strik- ing marine engineers formerly of the steamer George W. Elder was resumed yesterday by Supervising Inspector Cap- tain John Bermingham. The first witness | was James H. Johnson, formerly second | assistant engineer of the steamer Colum- hia, which vessel left Portland October 4. He testified that he was ordered by Henry Pape, port engineer, to hold himseif in readiness on his arrival at San Francisco to go off the Columbia and await the ar- rival of the Eider, due on October 12, when he should take the place of First Assistant Engineer J. F. Sullivan, who was to be discharged on that date. Port Engineer Pape testified that after Chief Engineer Haughton of the Elder had handed him the resignations of Sulli- | van, Huston and McKenzie, he (Pape) did not make much of an effort to obtain | men to fill the vacancies. The investigation will be resumed this afternoon. ————— DEAF MUTES MARRIED BY JUDGE JOACHIMSEN | John A. Mitchell and Hattie Colby of Oakland Make Their Vows in Writing. Justice of the Peace Joachimsen was called upon yesterday by two deaf mutes who desired to be married at once. The couple were John A. Mitchell and Hattie who gave their- residence as The Judge accommodatingly Danforth, where the necessary marriage license was secured. The groom gave his age as 63, while the bride confessed to being 54 years of age. In order to tle the nuptial knot, Judge Joachimsen was obliged to put down in writing the questions usually asked in a marriage ceremony and the replies were written down by the contracting parties. The bride appeared to be chief engineer | in the proceedings and conveyed much in- formation by eigns to the man of her choice. When the knot was tied Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell left for Oakland. —_——— HONOR THE MEMORY OF ELIZABETH CADY STANTON San Francisco County Equal Suffrage Society Adopts Resolution of Respect. In recognition of the life and noble service of Elizabeth Cady Stanton a meeting was held last night under the auspices of the San Francisco County Equal Suffrage Society, in the Young Men’s Christian Association Auditorium.

He seemed just a trifle bored by the constant procession of peo- ple he, neither knew nor cared to meet that followed him around and insisted on shaking his hand. He went through the ordeal good-humoredly, however, and kept in laughing mood the audience that dogged his. footsteps until the ‘“all ashore” gong cleared the ship of visitors.
