ALASKAN AFFAIRS.
Annual Report Of Hon. Lyman E. Knapp,
Governor Of the. Territory Of
Alaska

WASHINGTON, Oct. Lyman K. Knapp,
governor of Alaska. in his annual report to
Secretary Noble says that the law prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in the territory is dead letter,
except as to the Indians. The reason as
signed for the inefficiency of the law, the
governor says, is that prosecutions would
be of no account The grand juries refuse
to indict and the petit juries refuse to con-
vict. He called attention to the inadequacy
of the laws for the administration of JUS
tice, preserving peace and holding criminals
for trial, and corhmends'that commission
consisting of part at least of gentlemen
acquainted with the country and its needs
be appointed to prepare a short code of
special laws to be submitted to congress.
Thus, he thinks, some of the more seri-
GUS difficulties might be met. The WORK Of
government schools, of which there are
bly, satisfactory, though the ~attendance
was not large. Children prefer to hunt and
fish and the parents are Indifferent.
About 100000 full sized seal skins were
taken by the Alaska Commercial company
during the year under their contract with
the government, and probably half as
many more were captured at sea and stolen
by poaching vessels. Other furs and skins,
as bears, mink, otter, etc., are taken in
large numbers, The cod fishery

stated to be far from WI z, il

leading article to the French Canadians
and asks Elbow does it happen that they
are known for nothing but implicit
obedience, to the Roman Catholic
Church, FOR proli6cness, and for a

language and sentiment?" It may be
asked why.the Scandinayians are known
for nothing but implicit obedience to
their Lutheran church, for fecundity.
and for logged adherence to what is
Scandinavianin language and traditiont
It is no fault at all of either race to be
obedlent to church authority. to be pro.
life and to adhere to their national
sentiments and the language of their
race. The French Canadians and the
Scandinayians should be commended
for this. They can be good Am erlcans,
