PROTEST FROM VIGTONI

Dominion Government Asked to Make
Representations to the United
States Authorities

AGAINST CLOSING SUB-PORT DYEA

and
Ask Secretary Gage to Abolish
it—The Reason.

Ever since Dyea was made a sub-port
of entry by the United States, the Paci-
fic coast papers from San Francieco to
Victoria have been mixed up ina dis-
pute concerning the advantages allowed
citizens of the States and Canada. Sena-
tor Perkins of California, and Senator
Wilson of Washington, have had a con-
sultation with Secretary Gage, in which
they recommend that the sub-port of
entry Dyea be abolished. They repre-
sented that Dyea asa sub-port now fur-
nishes advantages to persons from
British Columbia that are not ded
to the citizens of the United States now
going through the passesj_and the Klon-
dike country. British Columbia now
ships goods to Dyea in bond and it
passes on to the Northwest Territory un-
hampered by customs of any kind. It ie
claimed that United States citizens
meet with annoyances as they
reach the lakes in the Northwest
territory, although it is given out that
100.pounds per man is exempt.

DURRANT’S FOURTH SENTENCE.

He Is Downcast and Seems to Realize That
the End Is Near.

San Francisco, Dec. 15—Theodore Dur-
rant, the condemned murderer of
la nehe Lamont,
morning by Superior Judge Babrs, for
the fourth time, to suffer the extreme
penalty of the law, the date for his exe-
cution being ‘set for January 7 next.
Durrant’s attorneys made a desperate
effort to secure further delay and to pave
the way for another appeal to the su-
preme court, but Judge Bahrs wus in-
‘exorable, and overruled each and every
objection made to the proceedings.

Durrant was in court and acted with
his -y' cool An i
crowd flocked to the courtroom and filled
the corridors of the.city hall, in order to
secure a glimpse of the noted prisoner.
‘The condemned man’s attorney will at
once begin a new battle for his life.
They intend to lay the foundation for
another appeal to the supreme court of
the United States. In all probability
one of the lawyers for the defense will
proceed to Washington to make a@ tech-
nical fight, based on federal and state
laws. ‘The time for this dction is short,
however, and even the defense has doubts
of the success of its new venture. Mra.
Durrant visited her son yesterday after-
noon. Both were downcast and seemed
to realize that the end was near.
