fereIs in Alaska Discussed.

Washington, Nov 9.-The full text of
SPANS reply TO the Woodford note was
read at the cabinet meeting to-day. Its
toLe IS very pacific, and instead of being
at all war-like, was regarded by the cab

outbreak.
The cabinet also gave consideration
to. the ice bound Bering sea whaling
fleet. Two plans have been decided up
on, one TO send the Bear from Seattle
which cannot be got ready for two weeks,
and another to send the Thrasher, Il
whaling vessel now at San Francisco.
This latter determination was reached
after the receipt of u telegram by Sec
retary Long from the commandant of
the Mare Island Navy Yard. The
Ihrasher can be proyisioned at once and
sent Immediately on her mission. It is
stated that there is a very good supply
of provisions at Point Barrow, and an
other supply Mt Herschel Island, also

FACTS ABOUT RAILROADS

ee te- Advantage.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 9.-Gen.
Wade Hampton, who has just been sue
ceeded by Gen. Lonstreet as Commits
sioner of Railroads, has submitted to
the Interior Department his report for
the past fiscal year. He says that the
year reached the low water mark of
railway construction. During the year
thirty-four companies with 0,441 miles
of roads passed into the hands of courts
and ffty-eight others, previously placed
in receivership, were sold at foreclosure.
A steady improvement in railroad earn
ings during the first six months of the
current year is noted, an Improvement
particularly apparent in the bond-aided
Pacific roads. The outlook in the west
generally for the past year is reported
very encouraging. Gen. Hampton,
though discounternancing any attempt
to criticise the course of the govern
ment in the Union Pacifs matter, says
he also has believed that settlement
more advantageous TO the government
could be obtained if all the companies.
particularly the Union and Central
Pacific, could be negotiated with at the
appointed by the President, and the
same time through commission. to be
by the President, and possibly
all in the same way, than in settling at
different times and on a different basis.
Government ownership, or operation un-
der government supervision, he says
would be not only a doubtful but Il
dangerous experiment which probably
would result disastrously to the govern
ment.

Some of the Aldermen Failed to Re-
port Yesterday.
Half dozen aldermen sat on the
Wabasha street steps of the court house
Stunning themselves yesterday after
noon, and waiting for the other five to
put in an appearance. Word had gone
forth that a caucus was to be held at
2:30 p. M, to unite upon the two alder
men who are to succeed Aid. Bell and
Kaldunski as members Of the board OF
abatement. The caucus was not held,
however, as the rest of the aldermen
did not show up. Aid. Donahower, San
born, Shepard, Larsen, Bell and Presi-
dent Bigelow were on hand, and after
they had all decided not to wait any
longer, Aid. Stutzman appeared, but
not a sign of Aid. Lindahl, Kenny,
Kaldunsh nor Allard was seen.
There is movement on foot designed
to prevent the reelection Of Aid. Bell
to the board of abatement The impress
sion seems to prevail among some of
the aldermen that the representative
from the Sixth ward is more solicitous
in behalf of the street railway COM
pany than he really ought to be.
Still, it is understood that Aid. Bell
can be reelected to the board Of abate-
ment if he will promise to vote against
the Shepard ordinance, changing the
cable line to an electric system and
running the cars up Third street to
Summit, and thence up Summit to Selby
and out to Merriam Park. What course
Aid. Bell will take he has not yet indi-
Gated.
It is probable that caucus will be
called for tomorrow, as Aid. Donahower
expects to leave the city early this
week, to be gone for several days.
