Francis b. Sears on Reform of the
CurrencY.

FRANCIS b. sears on Reform OF the
Currency.
Mr.. Francis B. Sears, the vice president
Of the Third National Bank of Boston,
voices the sentiment Of many business men
of New England in letter to the secretary
of the monetary commission. Mr.. Sears
compliments the commission on its report
embodying a plan for an improvement Of
our monetary system. and expresses the
hope that all business men will waive their
objection to certain details of the report
which may not meet their views, and work
"persistently and theoretically together to
secure settlement Of the currency ques-
ton on this basis"
The remainder of Mr.. Sears letter con-
ta1ns warning note to those who are
disposed to favor "do-nothing" policy,
because, In their Judgment 1t is inexpedient
at this time to inject new issue into the
elections of this year. Mr.. Sears says:
Action can be secured readily If we
snow That no party and no candidate are
to get any assistance, either by subscrip-
lions OF money or by votes, unless they
work in good faith for this object There
Is no political reason now to make such
united action impossible. The time Glso is
favorable as regards business conditions
NO great financial measure can be passed
IN time OF monetary stringency or panic.
A great opportunity is before Us. and
should not be allowed to pass without
action"

SECRETARY BLISS MUCH OPPOSED
views ON the Bill to Take Land of
Annette Island indiana


Secretary Bliss has returned to the Sem
ale' with his unqualified disapprovaI the
Dill TO settle and segregate on lands of
ABOUT twenty-one miles in area the In
oians now occupying Annstte Island, in
Alaska and opening the remainder to set
tiement The Secretary says he is con-
WINGED that the Indians should be permit
TED to remain in undisputed possession of
their reservations, and that no part should
be opened to the public
incorporated In the report on the bill is a
communication from William Duncan, a
missionary, who has been laboring among
the Indians for some years, setting forth
az length why, in his opinion, the bill
should not become a law. Hs refers to the
progress the Indians now occupying the
Island have made. and expresses the belief
that should the bill be enacted into law all
these gains would b. lost to the people.
What the natives crave of the government
IN their present condition is protection"
and Isolation from vicious whites. Should
the measure pass" he says. ut will not
only 1n1ure US morally, but 1t will Sc
rously tmpaHeri us materially"
A recent examination, he concludes,
shows that SO far as present indications go
the report which has been published that
the island Is rich In mineral deposits, and
which has been advanced as one of thu
reasons why 1t should be opened to settle
ment, Is grossly exaggerated.

CAPT. RAYS FINE NERVE.
Faced the Mob From Dawson and
Ovcrawed 1t.

raced the MOD fEOm Dawson and
Ovcrawed 1t.
E. Hazard Wells, the special courier who
brought out Captain Rays dispatches from
the Yukon. has reached Washington. In
an interview, he said:
II cannot properly say anything as to
Captain Rays report, but can say that 1
left him in a rather critical position, and
the sooner the government gets support in
to him the better. Captain Ray had only
one man with him, Lieutenant Richardson.
They reached Fort Yukon somewhat ahead
Of a mob Of between eighty and 100 of the
toughest men that could be picked out of
Dawson, and when left the captain he
was standing off this mob from the provi-
sion caches largely by virtue of a small
American flag and his own magnificent
nerve. When the food panic struck Daw-
son this mob Of toughs left for Fort Yukon,
knowing that the Weare company and the
Alaska Commercial Company each had a
cache of provisions there. The Dawson
and let the rest of the camp shift for itself
Captain Ray learned Of this and he posted
himself at one cache, while Lieutenant
Richardson guarded the other. They were
IN uniform and had each Of them a small
American flag. The mob tackled the cap
tain first and ordered him to give up He
refused and for a time 1t looked as though
there would he shooting, but between his
GHlIOFm ana the nag the mob was over
awed Ray then established himself as a
sort Of military dictator, superintended the
sale and distribution Of provisions, and will
make an accounting to the companies when
1t is all over. When I left he had the sup
port of about sixty of the decent element
and there are about 600 Of the better ele-
ment there also, but a few bad men in a
place OF that sort can usually make trouble
and run things If they get started
AS to provisions, the people will need the
government relief by the time It reaches
them. but there is no reason 1t should not
get In all right. I came out by the White
Pass and the road Is good though the
Dyea trail has recently been buried by a
big snow slide.
"One thing cannot be too strongly I'M
pressed on those who contemplate Joining
the spring rush. Major Walsh, the Cana
dian commissioner. will allow no man in
over Canadian soil who does not bring
1000 pounds Of provisions. To start with
out that will be to be turned back
AS to the reported trouble with Cana
dian collectors on American soil between
Lake Linderman and Lake Bennett, I do
not believe It. The Canadians were collect
ing at Tagish. where 1 came out, but that
Is in unquestioned British territory. They
seem TO be a very decent class of officials
and not inclined to make trouble
THE rush next year, 80 far as one can
judge. Is going to be on the Tanana river.
In the heart OF Alaska southwest of the
klondike. and In American territory. There
Is where the most of the 100, 600 new corners
will strike. The transportation companies
cannot get provisions enough in for all that
crowd and the government probably will
have to help them again next winter"

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In the report contained in your issue Of
February concerning the hearing before
the Prince Georges delegation at Annapolis
relative to water works in Hyattsvine, your
reporter says that those in favor of tho
movement advocated the reference of the
question for decision to the voters of the
town at the May election. and provision is
made for this in the bill as drawn up.
Messrs. Ralston and Dunning, despite this
condition, opposed the measure. Senator
Clagett closed their protests by announcing
his intention of introducing the bill"
The above is very far from being correct.
The formal proposition to amend the bill
originally proposed by adding a clause SUBJ
hitting the question to the people was not
made until the conclusion Of the discussion,
and not until after Senator Cfagett had In
dicated that the delegation would be conn
PEELED to take that course. Thereupon those
advocating water presented a written
amendment to their own bill. submitting
the question to the people OF Hyattsyti,e
and this amendment was Immediately ac-
ceded to by those opposing the bill as IL
formerly stood. Senator Clagett was en-
tirely courteous in his dealings with all who
appeared before him on either side of the
discussion. J. H RAL.STON.

he was fretful of restraint, and refused
to consider anything except an imme-
date admission into the white house

him what was the matter with him and
other profane question:. which induced
him to explain his ecrenC to the SUI

if he understood the patriotism of these
