Alaska and Woman Suffrage.
WLsHlNGToN, March 25.--The House Commit.
tee on Territories, at their meeting to day, had
up the bill organizing territorial government
for Alaska, and the question of woman suffrage
in the Territories. They determin ed not to take
any action at this session on either OF them.
The Sale OF Useless War Vessels.
The House Committee on Naval Affairs have
de eternined not to take any action on the letter
OF the Secretary of the Navy relative 10 selling
such war vessels ~ are not actually needed for
service; also the letter relative to repeating the
Eight Hour law, so far as it relates 10 navy
yards. The reason Is the want of time, and the
fact that both questions, if brought into the
House, will give rise TO much discussion.
The Modified civil Tenure Bill.
The Senate bill, modifying the Tenureof-
Office act, will be referred TO the Judiciary
Committee as soon as it reaches the House.
To-Day the committee met to consider it. Yo-
morrow Judge Bingham, chairman OF the COM
mittee, while he does not favor the measure,
will support it as the best that can probably be
agreed upon by the Senate and House. Butler,
who is n member OF the Judiciary Committee,
says he will fight it in the committee and In the
House as well as he can, aud will have other
Republicans as well, and all Democrats to sup.
port him. Butler will be The leader of the
opposition TO the bill in the House. Itis thought,
however that a majority will favor it on the
ground thAtit is satisfactory to the President,
and everyb body is anxious 10 have the vexed
question settled.
The Tenure Bill I'm the House.
The Secretary OF the Senate brought tha
Senate bill relative to the Tenure Of O1icc act
over TO the House at O'clock. No disposition
has yet been made OF 1t.

AMERICAN POLITICS.



Correspondence Qu, bee Frontier.
have often heard it said that in the United
States every man was politician. | cannot
mense republic, with unrestricted manhood
suffrage; yet many of the first men you meet
refuse altogether to mix themselves up In poll
ticai squabbes. The world over, politicians
are too much alike-too often selfish, gras ping,
uDscrupulous-and hence we find that many
men whose intelligence and social position
should give them commanding place in the
councils of the nation, cut themselves entirely
adIiit from all political associations. On the
street, In the bar room, the counting house, the
railway cars, the doings or misdoings Of Grant,
johnson, Seward, etc are just now always
being canvassed, but this is only one phase of
New York society.
The result of all this political wire pulling Is
often most lamentable. One Instance Of this
came under my observation. There Is living in
East TWentyrnnth street a certain DIR. John
Griscom, who has written more on prisons and
hygiene than perhaps any other person in the
world. In the States he is recognized as one of
the first authorities upon scientific subjects.
For years he has been President or Vice. -Presi.
he is a man devoted heart and soul to the
cause OF science. / have at this moment
before me one of his works-"An Essay on
Prison Hygiene"-prepared by request of the
Executive Committee, which does nonor to the
head and heart Of the author. 1t displays not
only his scholarly attainmepts and thoughtful
ness, but establishes his philanthropy as well.
ton on some of the boards Il forget which)
simply by reason OF political intrigues against
him. Analogous cases in Canada are rare, and
let as hope that theyi may ever remain so.
DR.. Griscoms loss was comparatively very
little, but that of the public very great.

imprisonment.
The Turkish Minister, Blacque Bey, received
rom ConstanJinople to-day intelligence of the
release by the Turkish Government of Mr.
Henry M. Candeld, formerly Unied States Con
eul at PIeus, Greece. Mr.. Garfield, It will be
remembered, disappeared from his post more
shan year ago, and the FIRST inform alton re-
ceiyed Of his whereabouts was OF his capture
by the Turkish Government among the flibus-
fers who entered Syria under the command OF
OReilly. Garfield was taken with arms in
his hands, and was liable 10 be shot,
but he was taken to Constantinople and
imprisoned. In the expedition he passed
under the name Of Lamar. About thr9ee
months ago Mr.. Candeld's father came TO this
city and fesought Mr.. Seward to make an effort
10 obtain his release. MIR. Seward promised to
do what he could, and accordingly laid the
matter before the Turkish Minister, requesting
him unoficially to intercede with his Govern
meDt for the release of the prisoner. This the
Tarkish Minister engaged TO do but stated that
he could entertain very little nope of success.
from the fact that Canfed. alias Lamar, had
been guilty of heinous offense, and moreover
there was large number of prisoners taken
with him of different nationallties, ell of whom
would probably seek for the same indulgence.

most Rev. Archbishop McCloskey before his

he made reference to the approaching Counc |
in the following terms:
In any great d,nger to her faith or her pco-

Of society at large. In these councils we're set
forth, with precision and learning never

discipline which were overthrown. Three hun

in which, according to the confession OF Pro-
