GOVERNOR OF ALASKA,
His Remarks on the Seal Question and
Matters of Government.

Matters of Government
Skaguay, Alaska, via Seattle, Sept. %.
Governor Brady has returned here
from an official trip to the Pribyloff ISL
ands and other points south. He says
that he found everything running
smoothly at every point ne touched
Speaking of the Aleutian Islands, he
said: They are destined to become the
home of the countless herds of cattle
and sheep. Some of the Islands have
not a stick of timber on them, but are
covered all over with a luNuriant
growth of grass, affording the finest
kind Of pasture land for cattle and 9TH
er stock"
He SAYS that at the Seal island he
found that the seal herds are dying off
rapidly, or, rather, are being killed OF.
Pelagic sealing is the business that IS
decreasing the herds. This manner of
sealing is more destructive to the life
of the seal herds than any other. The
pelagic sealer is the sealing schooner,
great numbers of which yearly leave the
Pacific coast. sail to the coast OF ia
pan and follow up the seals in their
migrations ~northward to the breeding
grounds. Eventually the fur seal VIII
become extinct, he thinks.
Governor Brady outlined a few re-
forms he would like to see i"naugurated
in Alaska. Although a temperance man.
he is in favor of high license, and thinks
that a license of 81, 600 much more pref
cradle than the present prohibitive law,
which is not prohibitive. The governor
believes that, were the territory allowed
To Tax the wharves, the liquor traffic,
and impose n tax of . or 3 cents on each
case of salmon, the government of the
territory could be operated very grace
fully from the proceeds. He Is opposed
to the fee system Of governmental Off
GERS. He thinks that ii should all be on
"A salaried basis, because the chance for
malfeasance is Their reduced to the min
imum. He spoke about the Carter bill
and its provisions relative to codifyinE
of laws Of Alaska n expressed he
fear that unless active measures were
taken to head off the move that con-
gress might adopt a general method of
government for all her detached terri
tory. Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines. in which event Alaska
would be in just about as forlarn a con-
dition as she is now.

Horrible Tale of Abuse Of Soldiers Re-
lated by a Chaplain.
Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-Rev. Cyrus L..
Brady, archdeacon of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese OF Eastern Pennsyl-
vania and chaplain of the LIST Pennsyl-
vania volunteers, in a sermon tonight
severely criticised the management of
the volunteer camps which came un-
der his supervision at C~hickamauga.
where his regiment was stationed for
a long time. He said the medical,
commissary. quartermaster and ord
nance departments were all to blame
and continued thus:
II personally saw men left in the
hospital in camps for SO hours without
any medical attendance whatever. i
saw men in those hospitals suffering
from fever with the rain beating down
upon them. 1 saw men committed to
the care Of unskilled attendants when
IL was dbS'iuNtiy lhipuSSipi1 AA wv
to receive anything like the attention
they deserved. / saw men suffering
from fever, lying with their mouths
open and their mouths filled with flies"
In conclusion, the archdeacon said:
81 wonder II / dare, being still in the
government service. say more. There
is much more that might be told If 1t
were proper to tell 1t, but perhaps this
will suffice. 1 had not intended to touch
upon this phase of our experience at
all. but when / think that these things
have taken place in this, the richest,
greatest and presumably the most ad-
vanced nation on the face of the earth.
/ cannot hold my peace"

Skaguay. Alaska, Sept. q, via Seat
gold season under the British Columbia
laws was ushered in on Sept. Is. and
nearly all the men who do not intend
remaining on their claims this winter
have returned from the Atlin country.
II is estimated that nearly a thousand
men will remain at Atlin lake until
spring, so as to be on hand early to
prospect for new discoveries. From all
indications the Pine Creek, Spruce
Creek, Wright Creek and Musket Creek
mines will prove very rich.
Men who rushed into Atlin six weeks
ago are coming home. many of them
with from $500 to 81 500 in gold dust,
which they washed out in a very crude
n from their claims. The Attn
district is sure to prove one of the most
profitable placer regions in the world
and the rush in there next summer Is
anticipated to be very great.
The dirt of the Atlin country washes
out from so cents to $1.25 per pan. and
several men during the past month
have made more than a hundred dol
lars a day above expenses, three men
doing the work.
Thomas Pelkey and Comte de Car
bonneau, the latter of Paris, and the
former, one of the wealthiest mine own
ers of Dawson, are still in the city, but
will leave In a few days for Seattle.
Mr.. Pelkey has sold $500, 900 worth of
mining property to the count, who rep
resents a French syndicate. Mr.. Pei
key is to receive $160. 900 o the pur-
chase price upon his arrival in Seattle
and will accompany the count to Paris
to arrange future working of the prop
erty. The count also has options on rs
other rich claims on the Klondike.
