WARRINGTON, Jan. lathe Chair laid
before the Senate a communication from

citizens of Alaska, received through the
military commander of the Department OF
Columbia, asking that courts of justice be
established In Alaska. Ordered to be printed
and lie on the table.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, N. j., presented the
pstition ofpersons representing the financial,
commercial, manufacturing and business
interests of Newark, N. j., asking that in
counting the electoral vote all party consid :
ations be laid aside, and pure, unselfsh pa
triotism guide the action Of Congress.
The petition having been read, Mr.. Fre-
linghuysen said that he sympathized with
the sentiments of the petitioners. He be-
lieved that there was patriotism enough
and craftsmanship enough in the represen-
tatives of the American people to reach q
satisfactory conclusion in regard to the
present embarrassment, and he hoped that
patriotism aud craftsmanship would be ex-
ercised.
If Congress should reach 3 satisfactory
solution of the complications which all now
deprecated, the effect would prove q boon
to this nation worthy of the memorial year.
The petition was referred to the special
committee of seven.
