WEALTH OF ALASKA.

REPORT OF GOVERNOR KNAPP
Better Laws Required for the En-
forcement of Justice-The
Seal Fisheries.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. - Governor
Knapp, of Alaska, In his annual report
says; "rhe laws prohibiting the sale
and manufacture of intoxicating liquors
In the territory is q dead letter, except
as to the Indians. The reason OF the in
efficiency Of the law Is that prosecutions
would be of no avail. The grand juries
refuse to lndct, and the petit jurles re-
fuse to convict, Legislation which would
provide more effective machinery for
the enforcement of the present law
would undoubtedly afford q solution of
the perplexing question"
He calls attention to the inadequacy
of the laws for the administration OF
justice, etc., and recommends that O
commission, consisting In part, at least,
of gentlemen acquainted with the coun-
try and its needs, be appointed to pre-
pare short code of special laws to be
submitted to congress.
The work of the government schools,
of which there are fourteen, the govern
or says, are measurabiy satisfactory, al
though the attendance is not large, the
children preferring to hunt aud fish and
the parents being indifferent.
About 100, 900 fuli-sized sealskins were
taken by the Alaska Commercial Com
pany during the year under their con-
tract with the government, and probably
half as many more were captured at sea
and stolen by poaching vessels. Other
furs, such as bear, otter, mink, ETC., have
been taken IN large numbers. The cod
fishing industry, although not insignifi-
can't is far from what II should be.

THE M'KINLEY CAMPAIGN.
IL IL Opened by the Major In Taria


MiLLERsDURe, Ohio. Oct. I-Congress-
man Mckinley opened his campaign in
the Sixteenth district here this evening.
This is the county seat of Holmes
county, one OF the democratic strong
holds added TO his district by the
gerrymander passed last winter. The
major was greeted by a fine audience.
Major Mckinley spoke briefly of the
gerrymnnder and devoted most of his
remarks to discussion of the tariff.
In the course of his remarks he said !:
There Is not AN item upon which pro-
tectiye dutios have been laid that has
not been reduced in price to the peo-
pie who buy II. The republican party
fifteen years ago gave the country free
coffee and tea, and has now given IL
free sugar. We have as as q result n
free, untaaed breakfast table. The
duties under this bill are lower than
those of any bill since 1860. We have
reduced the duties wherever 1t would
not interfere with or iDjure home in
dustties, and have increased them only
where home interest demanded II.
"The duties on wool have all been
made protective. II In 1888 you farmers
Of Ohio defeated the republican party
for the reduction of the wool tariff, as
the democrats then claimed, IL is your
duty now to vote for the republican
party, which has not only restored the
duty of 1888, but made 1t stronger by a
high tariff on all substitutes. The
American market Is the best In the
world, and 1t has been made so, and
can be only so maintained, by protec
tion. They say wo have increased the
price of everything, would like tc

the appropriations will be turned over

At the Indian office 1t was said to-day
that the commissions ought to be in
the field within two weeks. 1t is the
expectation that the work will be so far
pushed that some of the reports, at
least, may be made to congress the COM
ing winter. 1t is expected that the COM
mission which goes to the Puyallup res
ervation will establish its headquarters
at Tacoma and be able to continue its
investigation all winter. The commits
sion which will treat with the Chcyennes
will probably be able to do its work in
Montana this winter, but the negotia-
tions with the Pine Ridge Indians will
probably not be completed until next
spring. This Is also true of the work at
