It is known that the executive will recommend speedy legislation to secure the best possible government for Alaska, and that he will also take occasion to point out the difficulties which the people are under and will urge that something should also be done to protect the prop erty of the government.
 In this connection he will allude to the fact that the government is losing large sums because there is no way Of protecting the timber. At present large companies and corporations are cutting timber under the permit system, sup posedly for use in the mines, but 1t is said that trainload after trainload of lumber has been taken from the forests and placed in the lumber yards in va rious cities and towns and never used for mining purposes at all.

STEIMSHIP PARTLY BURNED.
Was to Leave for London When Cargo Was
 Discovered Afire.

Boston, Nov. 25.-The iron steamship Barromere of the Johnson line was partly burned at the Grand Junction docks East Boston, this morning. For four hours the fire-boat and fire de- partment of East Boston fought the flames that were eating into the upper part of the bow. The Barromere is about 700 tons burden and was laden with a miscellaneous cargo. She was advertised to leave to-day for London and her cargo was nearly all aboard when the flames were discovered.
 The fire at first was confined to a quantity of hay in bales that was being carried as fodder for the cattle that were to comprise a portion of the steamers cargo. The hay burned stub- bornly and with dense suffocating smoke spread into a mass of corn in bags. A second alarm called the entire scene. The fire-boat was pouring 4OOO gallons of water minute into the steamer and it caused the Barromere to sink. The tow-boat William Sprague pumped the steamer clear of her surplus water which had penetrated every part of the vessel forward.
 The estimate of the loss is set at about &, 900 by fire and water. The firemen say that the fire was started by a torch, by the light of which the coal trimmers were working, being upset and falling through an open hatchway into the hay.

MICHAEL WINS AGAIN.
Defeats Starbuck in q Splendid Twenty-
 five Mile Race.

New York, Nov. 25.-Jimmy Michael, the Welsh bicyclist, tonight for the third time this year. defeated Frank Starbuck of Philadelphia. The two racers met in 25-nile contest over carefully prepared board track in Mad ison Square Garden and the "Rarebit" made runaway race of it after the second mile had been completed. He won in fifty minutes 29 1-5 seconds, thus beating his own Chicago indoor record of 52:34 2-5 by 2:O5 1-5. At the finish Starbuck was thirty laps behind and as the track measured nine laps to the mile the Quaker City man was left three and one-third miles behind.
 Since the new Madison Square build ing was erected it has never been thronged as it was to-n.gnt. Over 16,- 900 persons passed through the turn stiles and half as many more were left outside, as the house was not able to accommodate them. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed and the prelimi- nary events, which were well contested, resulted in excellent sport. In the one mile finish, Nat Butler. ''the handicap king" beat Jean Gougoltz, the ''unpac- ed king'' of France, by three yards. both starting from scru:ch, and it fell to the lot of A. E. Weining of Buffalo, who had an allowance of fifty yards, to divide them.
 At a few minutes past 10 o'clock Michael and Starbuck appeared on the track, which was graded at the turns from a height of seven rect six inches. while on the stretches the board track at it's highest point was only three feet six inches from the ground. Both riders received an ovation when they came to the starting line. Then it was discovered that some miscreant had thrown a number of tacks over the track The start was delayed for sev- eral minutes while the track was swept. At 10:19 both men started and l during the entire distance they were paced by tandem teams.
 | Michael jumped off in the lead and covered the first mile in 2:04. In the l second mile, owing to poor pacing he fell back and Starbuck passed him, fin ishing the second mile in 4:09 1-5. At the end of the third mile however. Mi chael gained one lap on his opponent, and from that time to the end of the race there was only one in it, as the lit l tie Welshman pushed his pedals so rap idly that he tired his pacemakers.
 He covered each mile of the twenty five in excellent time, his average being 2:01A. On the third mile the Welshman gained a lap on Starbuck and he grad ually increased this lead until he was a mile ahead on the twelfth mile. From this to the end he drew away rapidly and at the finish he was thirty laps to | the good.

 Threaten the Nation.

Threaten the Nation.
 Washington, Nov. 25-At the Metro politan Methodist Episcopal church, where President Mckinley attended ser vices, the Rev. Dr. Johnstone read the Thanksgiving proclamation of the pres- ident and said that in issuing it the president showed piety and wisdom which augured well for the nation. Prosperity is here," said the minister. "The light of better days is shining on us, and though it will take time to re- cover from four years of distress, we are gaining. Times are hard, but not as hard as they have been, and people should thank God that it is no worse after the experience of the past four years.'
 Speaking of the perils that threaten the nation he said that chief among them were rum, socialism and Jesuit ism. He spoke at some length against the danger of foreign church obtain ing ascendancy in the state, and said that if Jesuitisrn ever prevails in this country the United States will become as Mexico, Italy and Spain. He advo- cated giving the Catholic the same civil rights that every man enjoys, but said that the church should be warned to keep its hands off the state. In the course of his remarks Dr. Johnstone re- ferred to Spain as a "burnt-out nation; the basest of kingdoms" He referred to the danger of corrupt parties, and instanced the victory of Tanmany in New York.

LONDON COLONY CELEBRATES.
Victoria's Regrets and Hays Tribute to
 Inventor of Pumpkin Pie.

Victoria's Regrets and Hays Tribute to
 Inventor of Pumpkin Pie.
 London, Nov 25.--over 300 American men and women and few English per- sons celebrated Thanksgiving day by a dinner at the Hotel Cecil here tonight. The menu, which was especially de- signed for the occasion. was ornament ed with American and British flags, an enormous eagle. The health of Queen Victoria was proposed by the chairman, who read letter dated Windsor Castle from Sir Arthur John Bigge, private secretary of her majes- ty, saying: "The queen desires me to beg that the American ambassador will be so good as to convey to the mem- bers of the American society in London the expression of her ma1esty's sheer est thanks for the beautifully illumin- ated address of congratulations re- ceived from that society. The queen was deeply touched by the sentiments of sympathy with the enthusiasm of her own subjects on the sixtieth an- niversary of her accession to the throne which was contained in this address from the citizens of the United States"
 The Hon. Sir Garell Barnes, justice of the high court of justice, proposed the health of Ambassador Hay, dwell ing upon the great friendliness that he believed existed between England and the United States and saying: If the two countries will only put their backs together, they can rule the des- tinies of the world"
 Ambassador Hay responded with a bright speech. He sketcned the origin of the day, which began, he said, lin that pathetic thank offering of our fore fathers when they were keeping alight the spark of freedom which was destin- ed to kindle into such a beacon blaze enlightening and admonishing the world"
 MT. Hay then paid and eloquent trib- ute to "the unknown, nameless artist who in the days of early New England first brought to perfection the pumpkin pie"

CANADA PREP1RES REPLY.
May Contain Refusal to Stop PeIagic
 Scaling,

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 25.-A reply has been prepared by the Dominion govern ment and forwarded to Washington in regard to the negotiations which are now going on between the two coun- tries. The government refuses to di- vulge the contents until it reaches MT. Fosters hands at Washington but it is understood that it is a refusal to stop pelagic sealing. The whole question de- pended upon this, and therefore it would appear that the negotiations are to fail in their object.
 However, there is a report that the Canadian government has proposed an alternative proposition for the consid- eration of the United States which could be laid before congress at it's next sitting and passed in time to deal with pelagic sealing and the questions of dispute next season.
