ALAsKA'S CENSUS.
Special Agent Pe,ref Arrives at Washington
With HIS Statistics

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-IvAn Petroff. the
Special Gems us Agent for Alaska, las re-
turned to Washington with his figures. His
preliminary report will be ready in few
days. PetrOff is native Of Russia and has
lived in Alaska almost all his life, and was
therefore well qualified for the census work.
He took the census ui Alaska in 1880, but he
does not regard IL as being as thorough as
fhis last one, owing to the fact that he had
no assistants at that time. He thinks the
census of 1890 will be very accurate, as he
had plenty of help and time, and he has been
at it since last March. He estimates
Alaska population at from 50, 600 to 3S,000.
The resources of the country have developed
wonderfully, owing to the remarkable in
crease of the white population. PetrOf
Travelled over great stretch of country and
personally superintended the work of his
oubordinates. He says that he experienced
many difficulties in travelling about, owing
to the poor facilities Of trans spOrtation.
"Shanks' mare" was literally patronized,
besides using Indian canoes with natives rs
oarsmeD and also as assistants in the census
work

Ruger' r port.

WASHINGTON, Oct. so-General Ruger,
commanding the Department of Dakota has
submitted to the War DEPARTMENT. his annual
report. Rugar says there is no reason in
general to apprehend mOlestation of set
tiers upon ceded lands Of the Sioux Reserva-
ton even by the most disaifected Indians,
il the latter are kept under military observa-
tion for a time at few points where fric-
tion will most likely result from the settle
ments. Respecting the threa tened trouble
at Flathead Lake, Mont, he says it a. pears,
upon inquiry, that there is little probability
of serious trouble, that the enforcement by
the civil officers of the statute prohibiting
the sale Of liquor to Indians and half-breeds
is the principal necessity of the case. He
approves the post canteen system.

siOner Roosevelt contribution of $50 to be

The Com missioner has also sent cOntribu-

are as much at liberty to contribute to one
party as to another, and they are perfectly
safe and free to make no contribution If
they so prefer. Within the classified

aid mine. If we did not want to contribute
we would not. No one can force Govern
ment employe 10 contribute; nor, ii he desires
10 contribute, 10 compel him to contribute to
this party rather than that. In regard TO
Political clubs of which Government en-
ployes are members, there is no reason why
they should not be Democratic as we'll as
Republican; but any of them will be prose-
cuted il we have evidence of their trying to
force contributions by intimidation"

JUsTIN's DYNAMITE CARTRIDGE
Another Exper ment Made With Different
of Shat1

KIND OF Sneu.
UTICA On. ". Oct 30.-Another expert
ment with Just;n's dynamite cartridge was
made at Perryville to-day. A shell similar
to the one used the last time, excepting that
it was bored out of solid steel and had nc
blow holes and was three quarters instead
of e-eighths of an inch thick, and 12-ton
Blakely rifle were used, similar to the two
that burst in the previous experiments.
The shell weighed 275 pounds and con-
tanned ne pounds of sand instead of dyna-
mite. The charge was thirty pounds Of
hexagonal powder. The shell was fired into
sand bank at distance of thirty yards
and was recovered almost intact. The shell
was opened and testified to the correctness
OF Justin's theory of the late explosions in
the gun. Another test will be made with
the same shell and on the third test dyna-
mite will again be used
Capsules of wax, paraffine, spermaceti
and camphor were placed in the shell with
the sand. These different articles melt at
different degrees of heat and by placing
them in the shell it was expected to be able
to determine the degree OF heat that pene-
trates the shell. The articles in the cap
suleS did not melt.
