ALASKA WANTS TROOPS.
General Schofield Believes That There
should Be a Stron & Artillery
Force at Sitka.

There is every reason to believe that the
old abandoned army post situated in
Alaska will again be garrisoned with
Federal troops. Secretary OF War Lamont
fayors it, and Maior-General Schotield
saws that it would subserve the interest of
the Government to occupy Fort Wrangel,
If not Sitka barracks.
When General Schofeld was making
his tour of inspection on this coast he was
directed to proceed north for the purpose
of determining whether or not suitable
site for a garrison could be had in
Alaska, particularly at Sitka. The
general went no farther than Sitka, as he
had previously visited Wrangel. On his
return to Seattle the general reported
direct to Washington that in his opinion
Alaska should be garrisoned. and that for
a very trivial expenditure the two aban-
doned garrisons could be made habitable.
Since General Schofield has returned to
Washington he has written to officers in
this City, stating that he had been in con-
sultation with the President and Secretary
Lamont. From this letter the following
extract is taken:
"On my return from my tour the first
duty was to act upon my visit TO Alaska.
The President was extremely DESTROYS to-
reply to the Governor of Alaska whether

and so informed the President. In my
judgment, troops could be garrisoned adj
vantageously in Alaska and they should
be kept there, the only representative
forces being a company of marines at
Sitka and the tug Pinta with one gun and
sufficient sailors to work her.
From this conference it is evident that
the President made a favorable reply to
the petitioners. While it would entail an
expense to keep troops at Fort Wrangel, / 4
think they should be kept at Sitka, whence
they could be dispatched to any point
along the coast where they might be re
quired. For this service / would suggest

Aberdeen News, %: Reductions in
wages OF worklngmen have recently been
made at the Carnegie iron works and
several other large manufacturing es-
Establishments in Pennsylvania and Mas
sachusetts. And the worst feature Of
these reductions is that to all appear
auces they will be permanent. Except
by reason Of a war or other %extraordin-
airy occurrence, wages in the United
States as a whole will never again reach
the point they attained in 1892. This is
getting to be a cheap country, and in
every cheap country the cheapest thing
is wages. In dear countries the dearest
thing is wages. The workingmen voted
for cheapness and they got it and are
only too likely to keep it.

pennsylvania Raalroaa Time.

There was o time when folks used TO
set their watches by the town clock.
Nowadays the railway timepiece seems
to set the pace. There is so much travel
ing and SO many have to catch trains
that men try to keep railroad time.
Few think, however. how difficult it
is TO keep that same railroad time
straight. A bad watch or false time,
even TO the extent of q minute or two,
might easily involve the destruction of
o train and many lives. Conductors
and engineers not only must have good
time keeping watches, but they must
have o very accurate standard Of time
to go by. All clocks vary, but most
clocks vary too much for railroad ac-
curacy.
AL over the great Pennsylvania sys-
tenn the clocks areN regulated every "a
hours by telegraph from Altoona, where
they get the standard time in seconds
from Washington. The conductors and
engineers running out of Philadelphia
get their time from the clock in the ro-
tunda at the Broad street station, the
big N in the center just outside the
waiting room, which occupies the same
position in the new station that it did
in the old. This clock, which cost over
$500, is considered a wonder and i'm the
old station seldom varied more than
two seconds in the "a hours. Ii has not
been doing quite so well since taken
down and put mp again. but is improv-
ing and is SO much better than any 9th
or clock known that nobody thinks of
changing it, and in all probability in a
little while, when it gets accustomed to
its, position and surroundings, it will
come as near perfect accuracy as it ever
has in its history. -Philadelphia Times.
