Washington. July 1—Satisfied that

Department of Commerce for sev

of same, and now offers evidence to
the government of such a nature that,
the latter will probably take full
charge. Karlv in the war the charge
was made by the Uritish that the

an officer of the American
army was stationed at the plant,
who passed on all messages received
or dispatched. In spite of this pro
caution the Department of Commerce
has proved that messages apparently
innocent have in realit.v been cipher
grams conveying un-neutral infor
mation, and thus violating the neutral

the event that the government takes

Just about seven last night, the
Ella Kolilffs hauling away on a line
hitched to the hulk of the old Delhi
ippeared around Charcoal Point fol
lowed by the Muir, and slowly came
along the Narrows. Practically the
entire population of the town went
down to the waterfront and watched
them come in. Slowly they came,
the Delhi lying over on her port side
with about eight feet of her fitarbord
rail and one mast showing above the
water. To assist matters along, the
Novelty and the Alert went out and
took hold of the line for a while,
improving the speed of the proces
sion a little, and the Delhi which
draws about forty feet of water in
her submerged condition, was pushed
up on the beach, where she now lies
at the end of the Alaska Packers Dock ,
at the south end of town.
Capt. .T. E. Saylcs reports that the
long tow to town, lfO miles, began
last Thursday night, and the strug
gle with the hulk, which could not
be steered, and the tidal currents has
been kept up ever since, with hardly
a stop for sleep on the part of any
body on board. Five times with the
turn of the tide the boats were unable
to make headway against the cur
rent, and were forced to go to anchor
until slack water, the pull of the .
wreck being so strong that cable! j
parted and anchors were lost. This >
struggle was kept up for six days
and nights, but the wreck was deliv- i
ered here at last.
Capt Jimmie states that he plans |
to haul the boat, into shallow water
as soon as he can and patch up the I
holes in her side after which ho be
’ieves it will not be much of a tasl j
o gel her afloat again.
Whatever is done with the Delhi
great credit is due Jimmie for the 1
way in which he has worked and i
striven until he can safely be said I
to have won the first round of the
fight.

Washington, July 1—Diplomatic
Washington is disturbed again, this
time over the sinking of the Dominion
Dine freighter Armenian bound from

with a load of horses and mules for
the British army. The vessel is said
to have been torpedoed by a German
submarine in the English Channel,
off Cornwall, England, and twelve
American negros are known to have
been drowned at the time. As live

Beattie, July 1—The sailing of the
Alaska Steamship Company’s ship
Mariposa has been postponed. She is
posted as sailing at ten Friday morn
i' but the probabilities arc she will
not get away before late afternoon.
It is expected that she will be able
to make better time when she comes
out than she has been able to do for
several trips. ,
EVELYN WILL
NOT TESTIFY
New York, July 1—On account of
illhcalth, Evelyn Thaw has refused
to honor the State’s subpoena to ap
pear as a witness against her hus

the trial have been all in favor ot
Harry Thaw, and unless the state is
able to produce some strong witnes
