ALASKA NOT A LAND OF PROMISE.
Gov. Knapp Protests Against Misrepresenta
lions Made to Intending immigrants.

Gov. knapp Protests Against Mfsrepresenta-
tions Made to Intending Immigrants.
A protest is entered by Lyman Z. Knapp.
the governor Of Alaska, in his annual report
against the false representations made relative
to the agricultural possibilities of Alaska. He
considers that it is wrong to tempt men to come
to Alaska who have expended their capital in
travelling expenses and naturally find only dis
appointment and hardship awaiting them. He
believes that colonization schemes should be
conducted on a conservative basis. In regard
to the seal islands the report states
The international complications regarding
the taking of seals in the ocean and Boring sea
outside of the three-mie limit have added to
the embarrassment Of the lessee company in
their business upon these islands, which had
already become seriously impaired by the
wanton destruction of seal life by peaglc seal
ing. Only 1900 seals were authorized by the
government to be killed the island in 1891,
but 5000 had been slaughtered before the order
was given, so that in all Is, 500 were actually
killed. 1t was deemed necessary to allow this
number for the purpose Of securing the car
cases for food for the natives who otherwise
| it was feared, would suffer. The season last
winter proved unusually severe. The snow was
deeper than usual opportunities for hunting
were diminished and necessarily there were
hard times. Still the people remained healthy
| III ucSfcc. Inc statibucs Ol Tue
two islands, st. Paul and st. George, show that
in 1891 there were fifteen births thirteen deaths
and five marriages in population of 81.
| In again speaking of the seal industry the
| governor says that he believes that it is not an
overestimate that the 81. 0s7 seals taken in the
ocean in 1891 indicates the destruction OF 30O-
600 more, three-fourths Of which were females.
OF the whole catch the Victoria fleet is
stated to have taken 43, 500 and the American
| feet $685.
The white population Of Alaska is given as
4,303, of whom s, $50 are males. and these in
clude some 37S men found on ships in the har-
bors when the census was taken. The natives
number about 23.27s The progress of the ter
| ritory in material development, the report says,
has not been rapid, but something has been
done toward ameliorating the hard conditions
| of life in Alaska.

The Case of Threats Against Frank X. War,
Comes to an End.

Comes to an End.
The threats case against Mr.. Frank X. Ward
was ended in the Police Court TODAY. Mr.. Null
lowney, the prosecuting attorney, called Judge
Miller's attention to the case and asked that
it be dismissed for want Of prosecution. He
did this, he said, at the request of Mrs. Ward.
Mr.. Mullowney said he had received two letters,
one from Mr.. Thomas. who was counsel for Mrs.
Ward, and the other from Mrs Ward.
The letters we're filed in the case
The first letter was from Mr.. Thomas and said
Mrs. Ward wished to discontinue the case
against her husband in the Police Court, that
there a divorce case pending and he had
advised this course.
The other letter was from Mrs. Ward to Mr..
Sidney Thomas and said:
Sir: Please do not forget to tell Mr.. Null
lowney to dismiss the case on Monday next"
Judge Miller granted the motion Of counsel
and dismissed the case for want OF prosecu-
ton.
Mr.. Ward was in court and he asked il II
was proper for him to make statement, but
the judge told him that the case was closed and
it was not necessary to say anything, and SO the
case was ended
Mr.. Ward did not appear at all pleased with
such an ending Of the case. The threat charged
was alleged to have been made on the Fourth
Of July and the warrant was only sworn out
about ten days ago.
Mr.. Ward told STAR reporter thathe had gone
to considerable trouble about the case and he
was prepared to show that he was innocent Of
the charge made against him.

Inc Eerry steamer City of Alexandria
Gees Up I'm Smoke.
The ferry steamer City Of Alexandria has
gone the way Of the Wawaset. Armenia and
Corcoran. She was burned Saturday night.
She left her Washington dock at tbs and tied
up for the night in her Alexandria slip at q few
minutes to 8. At 9 flames were discovered in
the center house. An alarm was sent out and the
crew turned to. The deck works were beyond
hope and the craft was laundering from water
thrown in her. The tugs Eva Belle Cain, Capt.
kendrick. and the Juno. Capt Kerry, towed
the blazing wreck to the Maryland bank of the
channel, off Fox's Ferry. She burned to the
water and will be total loss.
The City of Alexandria was built at New
York in 1868. and has piled between Washing
ton and Alexandria ever since her launch. Her
registered gross tonnage was 326.4S; net ton
mage, 269.73; length, 14I.5 feet; beam 27.4 feet;
hold. 100 feet. She rebuilt at Alexandria
i'll 1882. Her first cost was ESQ ,000 her ap-
praised value $50 900 and her insurance : Is. 600

The Tariff on Bicycles.

The return Of washingtonisn Saturday from
European trip opened his eyes to the tariff
on foreign made bicycles. Mr.. Charles l.. Gard
ner of this city spent the summer in making a
bicycle tour through Scotland and England.
and for the purpose took with him an English
made wheel he had owned and been riding for
some time. He brought his faithful " heel back
with him, but upon reaching New York it was
bounced upon by the customs officer, appraised
and taxed with duty of As per cent. notwlth-
standing a high duty had been paid upon its
importation when new, and the fact that Mr..
Gardner had papers to show that he had taken
it with him from this country. He protested
and decided to take an appeal. but was in
formed that appeals had been recently taken
covering the case precisely and the Treasury
Department had ruled that under the present
statute machines of foreign make taken out of
the United States twenty times a year would
upon return be subject to a duty of As per cent
in each instance. So Mr.. Gardner concluded
TO let the matter drop and pay the charges.
But the question that occurs to wheelmen Is
whether person under this ruling can take a
Swiss watch or ANYTHING of foreign manusac-
ture out Of the United States and return with
it without paying duty each time.

CLOSE OF THE BASE BALL SEASON
This Week the Last Games of the League
Will BE Played.
The league clubs rank as follows:

They took the players salaries in Pittsburg
in a very gentlemanly way. They took them,
nevertheless. At the close of Saturdays game
Manager Buckenberger called all the Pittsburg
players together and said he thought they
would be doing the proper thing by waving
the last two weeks salary of the season; in con-
sideration they would be allowed to go to their
homes on the 18th. The players consented to
the scheme and Pittsburg saves about 81, 400.
The Washingtons are advertised to play in
Brooklyn this afternoon and scheduled to play
in Philadelphia. Now really this is expecting
too much of our Senators.
The entire Louisville team was told Saturday
that releases would be issued ten days after
that day. This club made no exceptions and
every player will be cut off the salary list De-
tober Is. 1t is believed that Jack Chapman
will resume full control of the team next year
This is the last week Of the base bail season.
Cleveland easily wins, with Boston second.
There is u chance that either the Brooklyn,
Pittsburg, New York or Cincinnati teams may
secure third place, with the chances in Brook
lyn's favor. New York's three defeats at Bos-
ton last week were a severe blow to those
players, and will probably deprive New York Of
the pleasure OF finishing the season ahead of the
Bridegrooms.
The Boston team did the best work last week,
winning every game played. Tho Cincinnati
and Brooklyn teams lost one game each. the
former winning four and the latter three.
Cleveland won four out of six, while New York.
Pittsburg and Chicago managed to break even.
the New Workers. playing more games than any
other team in the league. The record for the
week il as follows;

Activity Among Politicians.
CORRESPONDENCE Of The Evening Star
LAUREL, MD, Oct. 10, 1892.
Along the line of Washington and Upper
Marlboro turnpike, within radius of four or
five miles, there are half dozen or more fami-
lies where Russian laborers and domestics are
employed. Among those employers are Messrs
F. Behrens, A. II. Brady, r. Humphrey, r.
Claggett and I. ]. Claggett. These gentlemen
express different opinions as to the value Of
this new labor. All agree, however, in praising
the industry of the women. These work in
the harvest field. make hay, cut and stack
corn and load and unloada wagon quite as we'll,
If not better, than a man. Their work about
the house and dairy is universally pronounced
excellent. The men receive compensation of
$40 per month, besides furnished tenement
house, their provisions and the use of a cow for
a family. The women receive so cents for
every day they are employed, which indicates
that their work Is considered of more value
than that Of the men folks.
They manage to about every dollar Of
their earnings. They live very sparingly, their
principal means of livelihood. so far as con-
Germs the inner man. consisting in kind of
soup, which they thicken with mIddlings and
dark flour, letting it sour before they eat it,
The warm, strong and lasting clothing which
they brought to this country with them IL still
in their possession. All of this colony came
from the lower Volga. but they are of the Ger
man descent and speak that language intelligi-
bly,. 1t is uncertain whether they are satisfied
with their situation or not. They are very
shrewd and profess to be well pleased. Several
families have gone west, and it is thought that
others will follow hard by them.
The general topic of conversation in this town
at present is the coming November elections
very great increase was noticeble in the
registration list over that of last year, which is
indicative Of the fact that a large vote will be
polled this coming election.
One of the best indications of the growth of
Laurel is the vast amount of freight which is
daily being brought here from all directions
via the Baltimore and Ohio railroad For
several weeks the freight traffic was virtually
tied up, owing to the crowded condition of
affairs during the annual encampment of the
Grand ARMY of the Republic at Washington,
and all the freight held back on this accout is
now coming into Laurel with rush. Most of
this transportation is of lumber and bricks.
Mrs. Thomas Ladson of Hyattsville has pur-
chased six lots in this place.
Mr.. Henrs Lyies is building handsome resi-
dence here and intends to make it his perma-
nent residence.
A post Office has been established at Buena
Vista Springs. Washington county. this state.
J. W. Carroll has been appointed postmaster

TWO CONFEDERATE FUNERALS.

TWO CONFEDERATE FUNERALS.
Lee Camp OF Confederate Veterans appeared
in their new uniforms yesterday afternoon and
attended two funerals. The first came via the
steamer City Of Washington at 2 o'clock. when
the Confederate Association of Washington
brought to bury in Virginia the remains Of
Capt. A. d. Haynes of Washington. The Vir-
ginia ex-confederates united with their WASH
fngton comrades and paid the last tribute of
respect to Capt Haynes, following his remains
to the cemetery.
The second funeral attended by the camp
was that of John Sullivan who served in the
seventeenth (Alexandria) regiment during tho
war, and since his return has been engaged at
the carpenter shops of the Midland depot here
Rev. Mr.. Poisal of the NJ. P. Church officiated

HOUSE OF VARIED EXPERIENCES.
The march of improvement is carrying away
all those old houses with twelve-paned window
sash, which indicate that they have come down
from the past century. One of these houses
after an existence of over hundred years, on
Fairfax street opposite the Potomac shoe fac
tory, is being demolished, and will be succeeded
by a modern house. The place has seen many
mutations. Originally W. H. Torretts place it was
about 1854 occupied by James Il Dummer, who
sold bearskins, dry goods, mechanics tools,
shoes, knee buckles, saddery, pewter plates
&c, at one store. Later it was Nicholas King
ston's china store Afterward z. Nicholas had
machine shop there, and it was some thirty
years ago occupied by Miss Waddy as a school
house. 1t has finished its mutations.
There is another store within Il hundred yards
on Fairfax street which has been occupied for a
century drug store by one family. 1t was
begun by the grandfather of the Messrs. Lead
heaters on October 7, 1892. and yesterday cele-
brated its centennial.
