THE FUTURE OF ALASKA.

The Sitka AluSk IA contains very
interesting account Of the discovery
OF vein OF coal on the shore of
Iukutat bay. about two miles from
the beach The vein has been pror-
pected and found to dip at an angle
OF 40 degrees. Forty sacks OF the
coal were taken ont of tiye-foot
vein. which widaued as the work pro
ceeded, and the outcroppings of the
vein were found at distance OF 800
feet from the discovery shaft, and
again at mile and quarter, the in
dications being that the main vein is
continuous.
The gold mines of Alaska are
yielding excellent returns. Very lit
tie is said about them, for very little
Is known, as the mines are actual
business propositions and not merely
stock jobbing schemes; but the out
put of the precious metal is steadily
increasing, and new mines are beng
explored and opened exery year. 1t
will not be at all strange if Alaska
soon takes high rank as one of the
gold-producing territories of the
United States.
Frequent allusion has been made
to the salmon fisheries of Alaska. and
it is enough to say that the canneries
are being and have been established
at different places, and that their
business compares very favorably
with that done anywhere on the
coast.
Taking these matters into consid-
GRAFTON, together with the other re-
sources of the territory, it will be
seen that the Seward purchase was
not mistake, and that Alaska bids
fair to become a very valuable piece
Of property. This is especially the
case if coal is found there in guam
titles TO warrant working, and SO sit
uated that it can be conveyed to tide
water cheaply and conveniently. A
man died in British Columbia a few
days ago whose wealth was estimated
at some S1O,OOO,OO0, and it all came
from his ownership in coal mine,
and the people of this state we're his
best customers for his coal. If we
can find and develop coal mines in
Alaska, we shall not only secure the
future of that territory, but we may
escape that onerous import duty on
coal-76 cts. a ton-about which We
heard so much from our free trade
contemporaries during the recent
campaign.

BEHRING SEA.

A discussion is to be begun some
day this week in the Canadian par
liament with reference to the Behr-
ing sea seizures, the purpose being
to secure termination Of the unpleas-
Rntness which has existed for the last
three years and to settle the question
of jurisdiction. In this connection
it is stated that British seal fishers
are going out from British Columbia
armed and prepared to resist seizure
by American cutters, and it is sug-
gested by the dominion press that the
British government order q man-of-
war to Behring sea to protect Cans
dian seal fishers.
1t is very singular if a decision up
on the question of jurisdiction cannot
be reached in advance of the actual
seizure of British or Canadian sealers
in Rehring sea- The proclamation
of President Harrison, based on the
recent action of congress, defines the
position of the United States with
regard. to the eastern half of Behring
sea quite as distinctly and explicitly
as the seizure of a feet OF sealing
vessels could do; and if Great Britain
and Canada dispute the correctness
of the American claim, an issue may
certainly be framed on that question
without the actual seizure of vessel
for trespass. There is no universal
court to which the controversy might
be submitted, but there need be no
difficulty in deVising an international
conference to deal with the question.
1t is childish to ignore the matters
In dispute until some overt act has
been committed. All that should be
necessary is for the United States to
formally notify Great Britain and
Canada that we claim exclusive juris-
diction over the eastern half of
Behring sea by virtue of the conces-
SIGN from Russia, and ask those
countries whether they admit the
validity of the claim. If they do, the
matter is ended; if they do not, an
arbitration should be arranged and
the case presented pro and con, and
the decision of the arbitrators should
be final.
Any other course than this would
be foolish in the extreme. To send
British man-of-war into Behring
sea to protect Canadian sealers
against capture by American cutters
might lead to open rupture; and be-
sides, 1t would not determine any,
thing except the relative strength of
the armed ships which might chance
70 come into collision. There is bnt
one question, and that is whether
behring sea is an open or closed sea.
and that may be decided just as we'll
oeIore there comes a clash, as after.
Inc idea OF two such nations as the
United States and Great Britain be-
ing anable to reach a decision on
such question without an act of war
being first committed is preposterous
and pnerile III the extreme. and
should receive no countenance from
statesmen or good citizens on either
side of the Atlantic.

WORSE THAN MARRIAGE.

4 bachelor old and cranky
Was sitting alone IN his room;
His toes with the gout were aching,
And his fsee was o'erspread with gloom,
No little eDss' shout disturbed him,
From noises the house was free;
In fact, from the attic to cellar
Twas quiet as quiet could be.
No medical aid was lacking;
The servants answered his ring,
Respectfully heard his orders.
And supplied him with everything.
But still there was something wanting,
Something he couldn't command;
The kindly words of compassion,
The touch Of gentle hand
And he said, as his brow grew darker
And he rang for the hireling Nurse:
We'll, marriage may be failure.
But this is q blamed sight worse"

SOME HREfT EEATS.
Some of the Wonderful Performance,
of Darby, the English jumper.

Some OF the Wonderful Performances
of Darby, the English jumper.
Joe Darby, the recognized champion
jumper Of the world, an exchange says, is
now giving exhibitions at the Westminster
Aquarium In London After each perform
ance his manager challenges any man in the
world to jump from two to twenty standing
jumps Tor any amount of money.
During the week John Il. IIartnett, the
great Eastern jumper, who halls from
Doedhnm, Mass, has accepted this sweep
ing challenge. If Darby will give him one
foot in two standing jumps he will make a
match for 300 n side, and give or take 800
for expenses. Hartnett will jump in any
city In the United States within two months,
but can not 70 to England before March.
The fact that lIartnctt will not jump an
even match shows what champion Darby
is. While Buffalo Bill was abroad this year
he had with him the recognized standing
broad jumping champion of America,
George Hamilton, who holds the worlds
record. Cody made n match with Darby
for Hamilton and Darby won easily.
During his exhibitions'in London Darby
has cleared In two standing jumps twenty
six feet two inches, making u new record.
In two back jumps he cleared nineteen feet.
He has clgared six feet in u running hip
jump. IFS most wonderful performance
was three jumps Of thirty-siX feet three
inches, on the last jump clearing the head
OF q man seated on q chair.
AS trick jumper II ia doubtful IL Darby
ever had an equal. In q broad jump with
weights he has cleared seven chairs In n
row. One OF his favorite tricks Is to Jump
from an ordinary brick, jumping pyer a
chair, aud landing on an upturned brick
without knocking either down.
rk,sN. hall L. 30 h.
In case no one in England Is anxious to
jump this wonder, he will visit America and
give Hartnett Of Boston and Hamilton a
chance to make money and glory.
