Alcohol in Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-A letter from the
Secretary of the Treasury transmitting to the
House copy of the dispatch from Com
mander Merriam, of the United States ship
Adams, referring to the shelling of an Alas
kan village emphasizes the necessity of with
holding liquor from native Alaskans, and
recommends that authority be given to en-
force the prohibition of selling beer as
we'll as liquor. The keepers of bar-rooms
there have practice of mixing alcohol with
beer, and rendering it as intoxicating as
whisky and most of the trouble. Merriam
thinks, comes from the sale of liquors.

The Judge Expresses His Opinion of the
Gabble of Counsel.
WAsfnNeroN, Jan. 1O.-George NJ. Sweeny,
a clerk in the contract Office, was called in
the star-route trials to identify official
papers, and the usual squabble ensued. The
Court, sxasperated by efforts of the counsel
to argue the question, peremptorily refused
to hear them. He exclaimed: II have never
seen the liberty of speech abused as it has
been in this case. Everything, even the
smallest pin-head, gives rise to argument
and as often as that pin-head arises it is re-
argued. We shall, none of u.s. survive the
trial if 1t continues. l cannot open my
mouth that there is not an objection"
Within fifteen minutes Bliss began read
ing letter.

"Oh, vell,' answered the Court resignedly.
ats all right" exclaimed Ingersoll. II
don't want to argue, but just want to keep
my hand in" [Laughter]
A long discussion followed the attempt to
put in evidence the written protests from
postmasters against the continuance of the
service on the route under consideration, and
they were finally ruled out.
Wilson demanded subpoena against Bliss
to compel him to produce the petition con-
nected with the route.
Bliss said the gentleman did not speak the
truth wen he said the petition was made
the basis for an order.
Wilson-Your Honor have too much RET
spect for the court and myself to reply to
that remark.
Bliss-I have sat here day after day, and
heard yon accuse me of suppressing evidence.
Wilson attempted to reply, but the court
said:
Judge Wilson, you are sick; you should
spare yourself these disagreeable things"
