The first shipment of suspicious charac
ters that have been under arrest for two or
three days was made this afternoon on the
Tartar. There was an Immense crowd
to see them off, but there was no jeering to
speak of, or levity or unseemly conduct
whatever. This demonstrates that all the
citizens of every class are regarding the
situation very seriously.
This was the only crowd that had as
sembled on the streets since the meeting
in front of the city hall. The citizens
then assembled gave full power to a com
mittee to act and seemed to rest in confid
ence in the result. Business was resumed
and quietness once more prevailed. The
streets were practically deserted at a com
paratively .early hour, and remained so
all night and up to noon today.
Meanwhile, the committee had been hard
at work examining the men arrested and |
taking the evidence of witnesses. Wheth
er they succeeded in ferreting out the stol- ,
en gold dust, the members refuse t)de
vulge, but it is believed they have or that ?
they have its equivalent in money. One j
of them said: "Stewart will be no
loser, and from now on nobody wiil have ;
his money stolen in Skaguay."
The committee is not vet ready to report j
and may not be until tomorrow or next
day, a? they are carefully following up i
every clue they can gain. But they decid
ed this morning that it was advisable to
ship some of those examined again>t
whom there was not enough evidence to
secure their conviction.
The citizens expected that a shipment i
would be made as soon as the first steamer
came in, and when the hour for the Tar
tar to leave drew near thev began to
gaJier about the Burkhardt Hotel. About
two o'clock the sidewalk was cleared and !
ten prisoners were marched down the !
stairs, each accompanied by an armed j
guard, and in this order they marched to j
Moore's wharf. They were received in i
absolute silence, not a cheer or a jeer. :
J. Allen Hornsby had the honor of leading !
this unique procession of men to be extra
dited, then came W. F. Saportas, Nate 1
Pollock, C. S. Hussey, Bradley O'Brien,
Charles Bromberg, J. Swain, J. Leary, !
Frank Brown, and Henry Smith.
On reaching the wharf entrance the \
crowd was held back, onlv the prisoners,
the guards and the committee being pre- |
mitted to pass. This was to avoid any
chance -of an attempt to rescue.: In front
of the warehouse the prisoners were
arranged in line and made to face the un
blinking eye of Mr. Case's camera.
Thev were taken twice and each time had
to take off their hats and "look pleasant,"
Only one, Nate Pollock, tried to distort
his face so that the camera would gi v a
wrong impression. Then they were
marched into the ticket office and Mr.
Baker made out their passage checks, and
they were taken on board.
At the gangplank stood Commissioner
Sehlbrede. He first asked each man his
name and then if he was leaving on his
own consent and free will. The replies
made were various. Nearly all of them
expressed a disinclination to- go but pre
ferred to do so rather than return and face
the music. Hoinsby made a long argu
ment to Commissioner Sehlbrede against
his being forced away and the Commis
sioner could only say that Mr. Homsbv
had his choice of leaving or not. "Would
you prefer to return and take your trial ?"
asked the Commissioner. To this Hornsby
made no direct reply, but when he reached
the gangplank and the formal question
as to whether he went of his own consent
was put he answered "Yes."
Nate Pollock gave his name as W. V.
Jennings, and said "No, I don't want to
go but I have to." BraJTfcy O'Brien first
said "No, I do not consent." On the
question being reput the answer was "Yes
I do want to go."
Charles Broinberg said: "Yes, I cannot
do otherwise."
- J. Swain said, "Yes, I am under com
pulsion." He was told that answer would
not do. He could return and stand trial if
he choose. "Yes, I am going," was the
reply.
Faank Brown said, "Yes, and I want to
say that Captain Tanner is a perfect gen
tlemen." "No bouquets, please," inter
rupted deputy marshal Tanner.
By this time the wharf was crowded,
yet as the Tartar pulled out there was no
demonstration.
As soon as the committee returned it
went to work again sifting new evidence.
There are all sorts of rumors about town,
many of them very absurd, but the citi
zens must wait in patience for the com
mittee to complete its work, when its re
port in full will be given in the DAfLY
ALASKAN.

The selection of Baron Herschel by the
British government as one of the represen
tatives of Great Britain on the forthcom
ing international commission is an indica
tion of the importance which the imperial
authorities evidently attach to the con
vention soon to meet at Quebec. Lord
Herschel I is one of the eldest members of
the British house of lords, a former lord
chancellor and a renowned jurist. The
conference promises to be fraught with
consequences of great moment- The pro
tocols agreed upon show that the commis
sion is authorized to consider the follow- |
ing subjects, embracing practically all
those at which the United States and
Canada have been at variance for years.
The Bering sea question; reciprocal
mining regulations; the Canada-Alaska
boundary dispute; restrictive regulations
for preserving the fisheries of the great
lakes; the north Atlantic fisheries ques
tion and the bonding question connected !
therewith; the aien labor law, and recipro- (
city of trade.
It seems likelv that there will be five |
commissioners on each side. Great Bri
tain will be represented, in addition to ;
Baron Herschell, by Sir Julian Paunce
forte, Sir Wilifried Laurier, Sir Richard
Cartwright and Sir Louis Davies. As it
is deemed advisable not to meet while
congress is in session it is probable, now,
that the conference will not organize unti
August. ^
