az Juror in this court. and while en-
gagged a. such in the trial Of the case
Of the People vs.. Compton, did, in VIOLA
ton of his duty az a Juror and in dis
obedience of a lawful order of the court,
converse about the case, and in so doing
was guilty Of contempt. The character
Of the conversation, as before stated,
was such as to impress us with the be-
lief that 1t was with the intent to i'm
properly influence Juror Quinn, and we
have taken that fact into consideration
in fixing the penalty. The Judgment of
the court is that c. I. Mcintyre is guilty
of contempt Of court. and that he be fined
the sum Of 500, with the usual alter
native of fifty days in the county jail.

FRENCH EXPOSITION.
Report ReIatinE to the Proposed
Display.

The acceptance by this government Of
the invitation of the Republic of France
to participate in the universal exposition
or 1900 at Paris was Immediately followed
by the appointment Of a special commits
sion to represent the United States in the
proposed exposition, with special reference
TO the securing OF space for an adequate
exhibit "a behalf OF the United states
The special commissioner delayed his
departure for Paris long enough to ascer-
tain the probable demand for space by
American exhibitors His inquiries de
Yeloped an almost unprecedented interest
in the proposed exposition, and the iufor-
nation thus acquired enabled him to
Justify an application for much larger al
lotment Of space for the American section
than had beeen reserved by the exposition
authorities. The result was particularly
gratifying in view of the fact that the
United States was one of the last coun-
tries to accept the invitation of France.
The reception recorded our special com
missioner was most cordial and he was
given every reasonable assurance that the
United States would receive a ConSidcTa-
ton commensurate with the proportions
Of our exhibit. The report OF the
special commissioner as to the magni-
tude and Importance of the coming cxposi-
ton and the great demand for space hy
American exhibitors supplies new argu-
ments for a liberal and judiCious apprOpri-
alton by Congress to the end that an eX-
hibit fairly representative of the indus
tries and resources Of our country may be
made in an exposition which will illustrate
the worlds progress during the Nineteenth
century. That exposition is intended to y"
the most important and comprehensive Of
the long series OF international exhibitions.
of which our own at Chicago was bril-
liant example and il is desirable that the
United States should make a worthy cx-
hibit Of American genius and skill and
their unrivalled achievements in every
branch OF industry.

PRESIDENT MKINLEY'S MESSAGE

Washington, D. c., Dec. 6.-President
Mckinley sent the following message to
congress to-day:
To the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatiyes: 1t gives me pleasure to ex-
tend greeting to the Fifty fifth congress
assembled at the seat of government with
many of whose senators and representa-
uyes | have been associated in the legiS-
lative service. heir meeting occurs under
felicltOus conditions, justifying sincere
congratulation and calling tor our CRATE
ful Acknowledgement to benetcent
Providence which has so sgnally blessed
and prospered US as a nation. Peace and
good will with all the nations of the
earth continue unbroken.
\ matter of genuine satisfaction is the
growing feeling of fraternal regard and
unifiCation of all sections of our country,
the inCOmpleteness of which has too long
delayed realization of the highest blessings
of the Union. The spirit OF patriotism is
universal and is ever increasing in fervor.
The public questions which now most en-
gross us are lifted far above either par
tisanship, prejudice or former sectional
differences. They affect every part OF our
common country alike and permit OF no
division on ancient lines. Questions OF
foreign policy, of revenue, the soundneSs
OF the currency, the inviolability OF ma

public service, appeal to the individual
conscience of every earnest citizen to
whatever party he belongs or in what
ever section of the country he may re-
side.
The extra session of this congress which
closed during July last enacted important
legislation and while its full effect has not
yet been realized, what il has already ac-
compIished assures us of its timeliness and
wisdom. To test it's permanent value
further time will be required, and the
people satisfied with it's operation and re-
suits thus far, are in no mind to withhold
from it a fair trial.
Tariff legislation having been settled by
the extra session of Congress the question
next pressing for consideration is that of
the currency.

Much Must BE Done for That Remote
TcrritorN

\ general system of public surveys has
not been extended to Alaska and all en-
tries thus far made in that district are
upon special surveys. The act of Congress
extending TO Alaska the mining laws OF
the United States contained the reserva-
tlOn that it should not be construed to put
in force the general land laws of the coun-
try.
BY the act approved March 5. 1891 au-
thOrity was given for entry Of lands for
town site purposes and also for the pur-
chase of not exceeding 100 acres then OF
thereafter occupied for purposes of trade
and manufacture.
The purpose of Congress as thus far ex-
pressed has been that only such rights
should apply to that territory as should
be specifically named
1t will be seen how much remains to be
done for the vast and remote and yet prom
lH,ng portion of our country. Special au-
thcrity was given TO the President hy the
act of Congress approved July "A. 1897. t.
divide that territory into two land districts
and to designate the boundaries thereof
and to appoint registers and surveyors OF
said land Offices, and the President was
also authorized to appoint a survcyor-Cen-
eTal for the entire district.
Pursuant TO this authority a SURVEYOR
general and receiver have been appointed
with offices at Sitka. II in the ensuing
year the conditions Justify il. the adii-
tOnal land district authorized by law will
be established, with an Office at some point
IN the Yukon valley. No appropriation
however, was made for this purpose and
that is now necessary To be done for the
two land districts into which the terri
tory is to be divided

his suggestions as to the necessity for a
military force in the territory Of Alaska

III view Of its increase by the ships now
under construction, while not as large
as that OF a few other powers is formid-
able force; its vessels are the very best
of each type; and with the increase that
should be made to it from time 70 time in
the future. and careful attention to keep
Ing 1t in higher state of efficiency and
repair, it is well adapted to the necessi-
ties of the country.
The great increase OF the navy which
has taken place in recent years was justi-
fed by the requirements for national de-
fense and received public appreciation. The
time has now arrived, however, when this
increase TO which the country is commit
ted should for a time take he form of in
creased facilities, commensurate with the
increase Of our naval vessels. 1t is an un-
fortunate fact that there is only one dock
on the Pacific coast capable Of docking our
largest ships and only one on the Allan
tic coast, and that the latter has for the
last SIX or seven months been under re-
pair and therefore incapable of use. I'm
mediate steps should b. taken to provide
three or four docks Of this capacity in the
Atlantic coast at lCaSr one i'll the Pacific
coast and a floating dock in the gulf This
is the recommendation of very competent
board, appointed 70 investigate the sub
Ject. There should also be ample prOvis-
ion made for powder and projectiles. and
other munitions Of war and for an in
creased number of officers and enlisted
men. Some additions are also necessary
TO our navy yards fer the repair and care
Of our larger number of vessels. As there
are now on the docks five battleships o,
the largest class, which cannot be cOmplet-
ed for year or two concur with the rec
ommendation of the secretary Of the navy
for an appropriation authorizing the con
struction OF one battleship for the Pacific
coast where at present there is only one
IN commission and one under construction,
while in the Atlantic coast there are three
in commission and four under ConStruc-
ton; and also that several torpedo boats
be authorized in connection with our gen
eral system OF coast defense.
The territory of Alaska requires tho
prompt and early attention of congress
The conditions now existing demand ma
terlal changes in the laws relating to the
territory. The great influx Of population
during the past summer and fall and the
prospect of a still larger immigration in
the spring will not permit US to longer
neglect the extension OF civil authority
within the territory or postpone the .es-
tabliShment OF a more thorough govern

CAUSE OF BIMETALLI"N
StiIi Room for Hope of an Intcrnu
tiOunl Agreement.

Under the provisions of the act Of Con
gresS approved March 8. 1887 for the pro
motion of an International agreement re
specting himetailism. l appointed on the
ith day of April 1897 Edward o. Wolcutt
Of Colorado, Adlai Z. Stevenson of Illinois
and Charles j. Paine Of Massachusetts, as
special ENJOYS to represent the United
States. They have been diIigent in their
efforts to secure the cooperation # Euro
pean countries in the international settle
ment of the question. but up to this time
have not been able to secure the agreement
contemplated by their mission.
The gratifying action Of our great sister
republic Of France in joining this country
in the attempt to bring about an agree
ment among the principal commercial ma
tions of Europe, whereby a fixed and reld-
tive value between gold and silver shall
be secured, furnishes assurance that We
are not alone among the larger nations of
the world in realizing the international
character of the problem and in the desire
of reaching some wise and practical s1lu-
tiOn Of it. The British government has
published a resume of the steps taken
Jointly by the French ambassador in Lon
don and the special ENJOYS Of the United
States, with whom our ambassador at Lon
don actively CO-operates in the prCsenta
tion Of this subject to her majesty's gov
ernment. This will be laid before Con-
gress.
Our special envoys have not made their
final report, as further negotiations be
tween the representatives of this govern
ment and the governments OF other c0un-
tries are pending and in contemplation
They believe that doubts which have bee
raised in certain quarters respecting the
position of maintaining the stability Of the
parity between the metals ana kindred

10 Rclicye the Government

In my view it is of the utmost import
ance that the government should be re-
IeVed from the burden of providing all
the gold required for exchanges and eX-
port This responsibility is alone borne
by the government without any of the
usual and necessary banking powers to
heip itself. The banks do not feel the
strain or gold redemDtion. The whole
strain rests upon the government, and the
size of the gold reserve in the treasury
mas come TO be, with or without reason,
the signal OF danger or of security. This
ought to be stopped
II we are to have an era OF prosperity
IN the country. with sufficient receipts for
the expenses of the government, we may
feel no immediate embarra ssment from
our present currency; but the danger still
exists and VIII be ever present menacing
us so long as the existing system contin
ues. And besides, it is in times of aie-
quate revenues and business tranquility
that the government should prepare for
the worst. We cannot avoid without Sc
rious consequences the wise consideration
and prompt solution of this question.
lhe secretary of the treasury has out
lined plan in great detail for the pur-
pose Of removing the threatened recur-
renee of depleted gold reserve and save
US from future embarrassment on that ac-
count. To this plan | invite your careful
consideration.
| concur with the secretary of the treas
ury in his recommendation that national
banks be allowed TO issue notes to the
face value of the bonds which they have
deposited for circulation. and that the tax
on circulating notes secured by deposit of
such bonds be reduced to one-half of l
per cent. per annum. l also join
him IN recommending that authority he
given for the establishment of national
banks with a minimum capital of s25, 000.
This will enable the smaller villages and
agricultural regions of the country to be
supplied with currency to meet their
needs.
| recommend that the issue of national
bank notes be restricted to the denomina-
ton of $40 and upwards. If the sugges-
tions | have herein made shall have the
approval Of congress then | would recon-
mend that national banks be required to
redeem the notes in gold
