WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our Usual Weekly Budget From the Ma
tional Cspital-Governor Kinkead,
mrs. Carlisle, Etc.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Among the recent
arrivals in Washington is that Of Hon. John
II. Kinkead, the first Governor OF our far-of
and little known possessions. Alaska. II is
q curious fact that after paying 81. 600, 600 for
ALASKA, after having found it, even as an I'M
organized Territory, bringing an annual in
come of Q quarter of million dollars into
the Treasury, and after knowing that the
people of that section were actually suffer-
ing for some organized form of government,
the authorities should have been nearly
twenty years in taking steps to organize the
simplest form of civil government there.
And it is equally curious that after the law
was enacted organizing this Government and
providing means for carrying 1t into opera
ton the Governor OF that country should
find it necessary to come here to urge that
the work be done.
''You see" said Governor Kinkesd. as he

Who Killed Cock Robin9

Aside from the damaging effects OF the
"Mulljgan letters" and Blaine's unsavory
reputation as stock jobber, at least dozen
murderous agencies are reputed to have con-
spired to encompass the political death of the
Republican Presidential candidate, to wit:
1. Rev. Mr.. Balls ISLANDERS against Cleve-
land, fomented by Blaine and circulated by
his managers.
2. The libe; suit against the Indianapolis
Sentinel for publishing truthful history of
his marriage.
3. The letter to William Walter Phelps,
wherein he substantially confessed to every
material allegation of he Sentinel.
4. His lodging the vote on the prohibi-
tory amendment at the Maine State election,
and the puerile reason assigned therefor, in
an extraordinary speech to his nelghbors.
5. The unexpected strength of the st.
John movement. a
6. The widespread revolt OF the mug
wumps.
Z. The retsliatory boiling Of the "Folger
avengersn in New York State.
8. The "hot blast OF Conkling's silence
in response to Blaine's turkey -gobbler'
speech.
8. The bomb-shell launched into the
Blaine camp by Mrs. Morrill,.
10. The feast of millionaires' at Del
monico's, and the raising of an enormous
corruption fund for the purchase of New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
IL. Dr.. Burchard's telling slliterstive
utteranoe Of Rum, Romsnism and REBEL
ion."

are wonderful. An English gentleman and

made pretty thorough Fstudy of Alaska,
ehould have been published just at this
time. The eigth volume of the census re-
port, which is Just being distributed, con-
tains his report in full. He divides Alaska
into six geographical divisions as follows:
l. The Arctic division. In this he in
cludes all Of the extreme north OF Alaska
above the section drained by the Yukon
River; or, in other words, nearly all ot
Alaska that lies north of the Arctic Circle
This section is about the size of the States OF
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois combined, and
embraces all the section whose streams run
to the Arctic Ocean. In this region OF al
most eternal ice and SHOWS live about 200
Esquimaux, who are growing less In number
and power in the scale of humanity each
year from the effect of the visits of unprin
cipled traders, who barter them spirits for
the vhalebon furs, wslrus ivory and other
articles of this sort, until their sole ambition
is to obtain rum and indulge in debauch-
cries which are rapidly decimsting their
numbers. The interior OF this vast section
10 little inhabited, save by moose, reindeer,
foxes and polar bears.
2. The Yukon division. This embraces
the country drained by the Yukon River,
which he describes a. the greatest river in
North America The division lies next
south of the Arctic division. 1t is inhabited
by race Of Indians in the eastern section
Aho0n 20 tuc AtuaD0okuo1, oua W - oihcA-
ent race, of the Esquimaux variety, in the
western, or coast section. These races do
not intermingle, and none Of the one class
ventures into the country occupied by the
other, except accompanied by whites. The
river is navigated by an occasional steamer
with goods which are traded to the natives
for the fun which they gather, amounting
to about SIS, 900 per year. They are bought
By two California companies The coantry,
which along the river is well wooded. seems
to be comparatively bare, swampy and value
less In the interior. The river swarms with
salmon ct certain periods of the year, at
which time the native population swarm
upon the shores, taxing enough to last them
as feod for the yeer, buying some
-four, tea and sugar from the traders.
This section is as large as the States of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. The popu-
lation Is about 1000, among the number be-
ing some twenty-five whites.
3. The Kuskovim division. This lies next
south of the Yukon, and is the valley of an
other river, similar IN its general features
and class of population to the one just de-
scribed. 1t Is about the size of Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois and has about 1000 population,
the number of whites being less than in the
Yukon.

Protracted Litigations over Real Estate
what an Old Trunk Revealed.

Efotf8cteo Lf1xatt0n8 over heat ESTATE
what an old Trunk Revealed
A dispatch dated willismsport Pa, De-
cember 80, says: Many persons here and in
Washington. ID. c., remember DR.. William
Csmmack, who for nearly thirty years be-
fore his death was contesting his right TO
large property interests in Philsdelphia
and other cities in the State. DR.. Cam
mack came to this place in 1867. He died
In 1881, leaving q power of attorney to Mr..
John Bloom. resident of this city, request
ing that Re continue the fight as long as
there was the remotest chance of recovering
the property. The story of the claim is as
follows: IN 1910 an Englishman named
Thomas Hill, who was the owner of 123
acres of land in West Philadelphia, 377 acres
at Middletown, Dauphin County. Pennsyl-
vsnis, and 500 acres of valuable bottom
land along the Delaware River. died intes-
tate. The heirs-atlav were then living
in England. In 1s41 DR.. Csmmack Wis
tied England and became acquainted
with the heirs. Not being familiar with this
country, and having no desire to come here,
the heirs made arrangements with De- Cam
mack to settle up the estate. giving him full
power OF attorney, and at the same time
legally signing over to him one-balf interest
in the estate as his share for settling IL up.
DR.. Csmnack Immediately came to America
and began operations at once TO recover the
property. He employed counsel, and
after the necessary delay eccasioned
thereby, and at time when the
property was almost witAin his grasp,
his lawyers abandoned the case. The Doc
tor sfterwsrd claimed that his counsel was
bought off by those having possession at
that time. Not in the least daunted, how
ever. the fght was continued, and although
q wealthy man at that time, the Doctor died
very poor, having spent his entire fortune in
trying to get possession of the property.
For the past three years Mr.. john Bloom,
who acts with power of attorney for Mrs.
Cammack 1.-THE Doctors widow) has con-
tinued the fight with considerable success,
the only difficulty being during the past year
to obtain the deeds of the property. A short
time ago Mrs. Cammack was looking
through the contents of an old trunk belong
ing to the Doctor when she discovered the
deeds. They were Immediately sent to
Philadelphia to her counsel, who wrote her
last week, stating that the property. which
is estimated to be worth $l5, 600, 900. could
now be discovered without difficulty.
It is claimed by Mrs. Cammack
that Judge Kelley and Judge Peters,
of Philadelphia, have been for years, and
are now living on her property. She also
says that most of the property has been
built upon, but that all of the buildings
were erected on leased grounds as neither
Judge Kelley nor Judge Peters can give q
title. The case Is to be pushedimmediately.
DR.. Cammack had seven children by his
first wife, four of whom are now living in
Washington, D. @.
