ALAskA's DEMANDS.
The People Want Territorial Form of
Government.

Chicago, Sept. 16. - Congressman
Aldrich, of this city, who has just re-
turned from a six weeks trip to Alaska,
distant territory think it has outgrown
its swaddling clothes, and wants to
govern itself. A demand is made for a
regular territorial government, new
set of up to-date laws and the privi-
lege of sending delegate to congress
like Arizona, New Mexico and Okla
homa.
The restless Alaskans have already
caused to be introduced in the national
house of representatives several bills
to bring about these projects on which
they have set their hearts. The fail
ure of congress to advance these bills.
has. Aldrich says, disgusted the people
of Alaska. There are many Americans
in Alaska who point with uuconcealed
disgust to congressional neglect and
then to the Jealous care with which
the British are fostering the interests
Of their citizens ON the Canadian boun-
dairy of Alaska.
Congressman Aldrich says he thinks

delegate in congress. The population,
though containing some 1900 voters,
is scattered over such an immense area
that he says it would be impossible for
the votes to be counted and returned
within the time limit now provided by
our election laws.
But, he says, a new set Of laws is
absolutely necessary for Alaska. That
country is now run with the guidance
of obsolete and ill-fitting statutes.
They are largely such laws as were in
the Oregon code before 1884. No new
statutes have been added, and while the
civilization of Alaska has grown at a
tremendous rate within the last twelve
years and the population more than
doubled, the laws under which the
Alaskans live have not advanced step
toward keeping pace with the progress
in every other direction.
Alaska is not governed like other
territories. Ii has no legislature and
but few officers, and even these it does
not elect itself; they are appointed by
the president. Alaskans set forth all
these complaints to Congressman AID
rich, while he was there.

ARMY CHANGES.
Proposed Moving of Three Regiments
of Artillery.


Washington, Sept. 16.-Major. Gem
eral Miles has recommended to the
secretary of war an important change
in stations of artillery regiments.
The regiments involved are the Fifth
artillery, stationed on the Pacific
coast; the Third artillery, stationed in
Florida, and incidentally the First
artillery, located at Fort Hamilton, N.
Y. His recommendations do not
specifically mention the latter regi-
ment, but it is known to be his inten-
tion to recommend that this regiment
be ordered to Florida to take the place
of the third, in case the secretary ap-
proves the plan for sending that regi-
ment to the Presidio, in California,
and for bringing the Fifth East. The
Fifth was on duty in New York har-
Dor five years ago, when the last change
between regiments on the Atlantic and
Pacific was made, so that it will come
back to its old stamping ground if the
scheme of General Miles prevails.
Secretary Lamont is generally op-
posd to extensive movements of troops
merely for the sake of a change of sta
tion. mainly because of the expense
involved. Although smaller mum Der
of regiments is involved in the present
plan Of General Miles than the last,
the long journey across the continent
of the two regiments would make
heavy inroads upon the transportation
fund. Secretary Lamont is known to
be reluctant to incur the expense,
though his final decision has not yet
been announced.
One of the strong points in the scere-
tary's forthcoming annual report will
be the record Of economy coupled with
efficiency which has characterized the
present administration of the war de-
partment. For the first time in many
years balance instead of deficiency
will be shown in various appropria-
tions. For number of years past the
mileage fund has been short, resulting
in officers being compelled to await for
special appropriation by congress be-
fore they had refunded to them the
money spent out of their pockets to
comply with orders issued by the war
department.. The new system of re-
cruiting and paying the army by check
accounts in large measure for the
saving in the mileage fund.
