LIGHT FROM A VOLCANO
Enables Alaskan Miners to work
During the Dark Days of Winter.

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. Further in
formation of the active volcano discovered
in the Atlin gold district in British Columbia
is to the effect that the volcano furnishes
the miners light by which to work their
claims during the long darkness of the Arc
tic winter. The glare from the spouting
lava, reflected back against the sky gives
an almost continuous twilight to the upper
end of the Atlin district. All the passengers
of the steamer Cottage City, arriving from
Alaska, have stories to tell of the volcano,
but from DIR. w. b. Kinslow and T. II.
James mining men of Denver who have
been making an examination of the Atlln
country. comes the best and apparently
most authentic description of the Alaskan
Vesuvius. THE mountain in eruption"
said Dr. kinslaw, lis the second in a range
of four towering peaks lying about fifteen
miles due south of Lake Gladys and
slightly shorter distance from Atlin City.
These mountains are At least fourteen thou
sand feet attitude, the center resting a trife
below its three brother peaks"

NO OTHER WAY oUT.

a Paris press correspondent reports Judge
Day, of the American delegation of the
peace commission. as saying:
We have done the only thing possible re-
garding the Philippines. Our opportunity of
giving them up was lost when Admiral
Dewey did not weigh anchor and sail away.
The foregoing is undoubtedly true; but in
rot sailing away from the Philippines at
that time Admiral Dewey received the
hearty approval of three-fourths of the
American people. The country had but one
idea at that time, and that was to conquer
the Spaniards wherever found They held
the Philippines and the insurgents were
fighting the Spanish army with consider
able success. We were anxious to assist.
For this reason it is not fair to infer that
1t is the fault of the gallant Dewey that
we are occupying Manila. AS it now is,
neither American sentiment nor the inter-
ests of civilization would sanction the CIV
ing back of the Philippines to Spanish mis-
rule. The islands may prove a trouble to
us. but we really have no choice in the mat
ter consistent with national honor
Those who oppose the treaty assume that
If the Philippines are taken by US they
must be made part of the United States.
This is not necessary. The United States
may vest the nominal sovereignty in a ma
tive government and then exercise control
through protectorate. Great Britain has
nearly a score of such dependencies. All it's
African possessions are under such rule.
And it may be added that this rule is a
boon to the natives of Africa, who are not
nearly SO intelligent as the larger part of
the people of the Philippines. Our rule in
Alaska Is not protectorate, but our pos
session has not made the natives citizens.
Nearly all the rulers are Americans, but
they give the natives greater security and
better opportunities than they would have
If left to themselves Nor is it necessary
that our tariff laws as they exist in the
United States should be extended to the
Philippines. On the contrary, a tariff that
will furnish sufficient revenue to pay the
expenses of government can be made for all
nations, while the products of the Philip
pines imported into the United States could
be made to pay duties in the same manner
as the products Of other peoples exporting
the same kind of merchandise.

Governor McLaurin. of Mississippi ac-
cording to the Atlanta Journal, in his zeal
to affirm his devotion to the cause of 16 to /,
has assumed functions which belong to
other rulers. A company had been formed
in jackson to construct street railways and
an electric lighting plant. AS required by
the law, the officers of the company took
its charter to the Governor for his sig
nature. but before doing so ne inserted a
clause declaring that the bonds issued
should not be payable in gold alone, but in
the legal tende, of the United States. The
managers, who are silver men, found that
they could not negotiate the company's
bends with such a clause in it's charter. so
they called on the Governor and urged him
to strike out the Objectionable clause, but
ho refused The result is, that the COM
pany IS very indigncnt.
