NAVAL MILITIA A SUCCESS.
Fully Approved by MIR. Roosevelt,
Who Would Extend the Service.

WASHINGTON Nov. .3-Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt has submitted TO the sec
retary Of the navy the report OF Lieut. Glib
bons. who has charge of naval militia mat
ters. The report speaks in high terms of
the operations OF the naval militia, and Is
approved by Mr.. Roosevelt, who says.
The different organizations are continu-
ally asking for old vessels and .he Gepart-
ment has finally tried the experiment OF
sending the fanttc 70 the lakes for the use
OF the Michigan militia. The sunniy of
these old wooden vessels has now become
practically exhausted. The department
mas tried the experiment of loanirg moni-
tors 10 the different organizations but the
results have not been so far satisfactory,

II met Sir Wilfred Laurier. while he was
In Washington, and We had talk in re-
gard TO the Yukon country. We agreed TO

send relief to the people in that frozen
region who are seeking gold. The cooper

that We could manage to get provisions TO

Capt Rea, who represents the war de-
partment, has gone to Alaska 10 report.
but just where he is l cannot say. He left
ST. Michael on August %. and in the mid
die Of September I heard from him at
Fort Yukon. about 1900 miles up the Yukon
river and so miles from Dawson.
THE Yukon river is frozen and 1t Is not
easy to travel on the rough ice Therefore
to send relief In midwinter by that route In
not practicable. The government has
about / 100 reindeer in Alaska. but they are
scattered. Mr.. Bliss, secretary Of the In
terror, has placed at the disposal Of the
war department 100 reindeer that are with
in 500 miles OF ST. Michael 1t is just possi-
BILE that with the reindeer and with tine
aid OF Indians a small expedition might
be sent by this route
my idea is, however. that In March an
expedition will be sent over the Chiikat
pass by the Dalton trail. There are pro-
visions in plenty at ST. Michael The last
I heard was that 5000 or 5000 tons Of pro-
visions were there and as steamships ply

'T do. because by next summer l think

country should be one OF them. terri

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.--The fifty-fifth
congress will assemble in regular session
on Monday. December 6. and many sena-
tors and representatives have already re-
turned to the national capital. The gem
eraI opinion of those already here seems
to be that the coming session will be OF
the usual length and that an adjournment
will not be reached before next July or
August. Many of the older members are
expecting some warm debates on ques-
tlons OF national importance. and espeei-
ally in regard 10 our foreign relations. The
Cuban question and Hawaiian annexation
Will take up a great deal OF time. and a
very vicious onslaught Is to be made on
the civil service law in both houses Of con-
grcss. The old fight on the bankruptcy
law will be renewed and there will be al
most as many schemes to reform the cur
rency legislation of the country as there
are members OF congress.
Business will begin from the very day

Department Considers Their Work
as satisfactory as the Mems.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-First Assist
ant Postmaster General Heath has trans
mitted TO the postal administration of the
German government, through Second AS
sistant Shailenberger, a comprehensive re-
port on tbs employment of women in the
government service. There are $50 women
posfmasters, and perhaps 5000 women 10
whom the oath of Office has been admin
istered TO qualify them TO assist In con-
ducting the business of the postoffices.
There are 1s9 women employed In the post
Office department proper. Women. the re-
port says, are employed In all branches
of the postal service. except as letter car
riers. clerks in the railway mail service
and postoffice inspectors. Some OF the
most faithful and efficient employees IN
the postal service are women.
The conclusion Of the department is that,
altogether. the service of women has
proved almost. IL not equally. as satisfac-
tory as that of men. The report Is
based on request OF the German govern
ment as TO what has been the general ex-
perience Of the government with women
employees.
