DEPARTMENT HAS
NOT AUTHORITY
Passenger Steamers in Alaska
Trade Should Remain in
Charted Waters.
Shortly after the wreck of the
State of California in Gambier
b'ay 'Delegate Wickersham at
tempted to have the Department
of Commerce make a ruling that
would require ships carrying pas
sengers in Alaskan waters to re
main at all times in waters that
are charted and marked. The ef
fort was unsuccessful for Un
reason that the' department was
not vested with the authority to
is-sue the regulation. The sec
retary said that "the plain dic
tates of prudent navigation” dic
tated such a policy on the part
of the owners of the steamships.
The reply to the delegalo’s letter
follows:
“Replying to your letter of the
1st instant, congress has not
vested in this department auth
ority to issue a regulation re
quiring passenger ships to stay
in surveyed, charted and marked
waters in the Territory of Alas
ka, as you suggest. If seems to
me that public opinion on the
Pacific coast and Alaska should
be strong enough to require own
ers and masters of passenger
steamers to follow the plain dic
tates of prudent navigation in
this respect without an act of
congress.”
