SEWARD BRINGS
SOME GOOD GOAL
Freighter Stopped By Jap* While En
Route To Valdez—Capt. Johmon
Still Warm Under Collar.
The Alaska Steamship Co. freight
er Seward arrived here last night
with 300 tons of excellent lump coal.
Capt. Johnson, commanding the big
freighter, is still warm under the col
lar because of the stopping of his
ship by the Japanese cruiser when he
was off Cape Beal and the searching
of his boat for contraband of war.
Captain Johnson thinks the British
government, which Is always boasting
of being "mistress of the sea,” should
be able to police Canadian waters
without calling in the “little brown
brothers” of the Orient, and does not
hesitate to speak his mind about it.
The Japanese boarding party were
exceptionally polite and apologized
for stopping the boat, for firing a
shot across her bow, for delaying the
American ship and for the inconven
ience, etc., but persisted in the
search, at the same time making all
manner of excuses, says the captain.
The destination of the Seward was
in doubt to the Japanese officials, who
feared the cargo of coal was destined
for the German cruiser Leipzig, now
somewhere on the Pacific coast.

Reinforcements To Decide the Fight.
BORDEAUX, Oct. 2.—More rein
forcements are being sent to the
French from southern mobilization
camps and garrisons and it is these
new men who are expected to turn
the tide of battle against the Ger
mans, who no longer receive rein
forcements because of the danger In
East Prussia from the Russian invad
ers. The mass of men are being
thrown at the German positions of
the right wing extending from the
angle of the Oise and Aisne rivers to
Mons.
King George Welcome Indians.
LONDON, Oct. 2—King George
