OUT OF STAMPS.
Deplorable Condition of the Postal
Service in Alaska

Washington, April 5.-Secretary AL
ger has received some interesting re-
ports from Capt. P. H. Ray of the Sth
infantry, who was sent to Alaska to
keep the war department informed as
to the condition of affairs there, result
ing from the large immigration into
that territory as a result of the gold ex-
element.
The latest of these reports is dated
Fort Yukon, December 90 a little more
than a month later than those previous
ly received In one of his conmunica-
lions, the captain calls attention to the
deplorable condition of the mail service
in Alaska; the regular contractor
brought but one mall October II, as far
as Circle City, this year and had sent
none out. There is no provision, he says,
for forwarding mail west Of Circle City
in the winter. The postmaster for Cir
Gle City is some where in the states,
his assistant has been put out of the
office for drunkenness, the poStoff1ce
department has failed to provide the
postoffice with any postage stamps and
the mail that comes in by steamer via
ST. Michael is without any proper SUI
perVision. There are no route agents
and the officers of the companies hand
ling the mail pay little or no attention
to it. The present mail contractor is
frozen in somewhere about Tannanah,
and it is to be regretted, the captain
says, that contracts are awarded to
men who do not understand the condi-
lions existing in the territory. They
seem to be financially and mentally in
capable of fulfilling their obligations
Parties coming up the river report
three steamers wintering at the mouth
of the Tanannah with over 100 people on
board and about 400 people at Rampant
City (Minook). There had not been any
new discoveries of gold reported either
in Alaska or the Northwest territory.
The captain says that he has not re
ceived any communication from the
war department since he left the United
States.

She arrived in Topeka at 1890 O'Clock

formity she asked no one for aid, but
sat in the waiting room and decided to
wait until some policeman should hap
pen along and she could ask him to di-
rect her to some place where she could
receive aid But she saw no policeman
all afternoon. At o'clock a blue coat
appeared and he sent the girl over to

les that went Democratic were: Day

first time complete victory in several
