the outside postal authorities regard-j

can he forwarded to Nome by other
means if the cutter is further detain
ed. It is tlie view of a majority here
that there is slight prospect that the

prospect of subjecting themselves to
quarantine. Several infer that if the
matter is taken up with the post office
the Bear may he ordered t > bring the
mall here. This is pure conjecture,
of course, but appears to provide the I
only prospect that the mail may be
landed here at an early date.
Advices from the Coast fiunrd 'Cut
ter Hear, to a local official yesterday
announced that Capt. Fberoth has
been ordered to take control of the
general inllucn&i siuyttion on tlie Al
region anti that the (lute of the vessel’s
arrival at Nome was unknown at the
time of sending the message.
The vessel was reported in quarftn
tine at I'nalaska Saturday, but the
message makes no reference to the al
leged quarantine. The report says,
however, ffajpt the famous old steamer
is repairing her boilers, thereby dis
closing that «he is running true to
form, that having been the practice on
the first trip since Nome was a pup.
The report indicates that unless ex
traordinary efforts are made locally,
the very large dispuch of mail aboard
the cutter will probably not arrive
here until the middle of the summer,

covering the intervening distance, the
latter vessel should arrive here Wed

The arrival of the Senator is some

cates that the vessel has either been

speed has been materially increased
since her last vist to Nome. The Sen-,
