ALASKA'S NEEDS.
Governor Brady Suggests That Rad
icaI Reforms BE Instituted.

Skaguay, Alaska. via Seattle, Wash.
Sept Ex-Governor Brady has returned
here from an official trip to the Pri-
bilof islands and other points south.
He said that he found everything run
ming smoothly at every point he touch.
ed. Speaking of the Aeutian islands,
he says:
"They are destined to become the
home of countless herds of cattle and
sheep. Some of the islands have not a
stick Of timber on them, but are cover
ed with a luxurious growth of grass,
affording the finest kind of pasture
land for cattle and stock"
He said that at the seal islands he
found that the seal herds are dying off
rapidly. Pelagic sealing is destroying
the herd rapidly. The governor outlin-
ed a few reforms he would like to see
inaugurated in Alaska He is in favor
of high license and thinks that license
Of $1,000 would be preferable to the
present prohibitive law, which is not
prohibitive.
He believes that If the territory We're
allowed to tax the wharfs, the liquor
traffic and impose tax of 2 or cents
on each case of salmon the govern
ment Of the territory could be conduct
ed easily from the proceeds, He is OPP
posed to the fee system of government
tai officers. He thinks that the officials
should be on a salaried basis, because
the temptation is then reduced to the
| minimum.
He spoke about the Carter bill and its
provisions relative to codifying the
laws of Alaska and expressed the fear
that unless active measures were taken
to head off the move congress might
adopt a general method of government
for all her detached territory. Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines,
in which event Alaska would be in just
about as forlorn position Is she is now.
The close of the gold season under
the British Columbia laws was ushered
in on Sept. Is. and nearly all the men
who do not intend going on their claims
this winter have returned from the At
lin country, 1t is stated that nearly
1000 men will remain at Atlin lake until
spring, SO as to be on hand early t.
prospect for new discoveries. From all
indications the Pine creek, Spruce
creek, Wright creek and Musk creek
mines will prove very rich.
Men who rushed into Atlin six weeks
ago are coming home, many of them
with from 500 to $500 in gold dust
which they washed out in very crude
manner from their claims. The Atli1
| district is sure to prove one of the most
profitable placer regions in the WORLD
and the rush in there next summer will
it is anticipated. be very great.

REVISION THE VERDICT
Prisoner of Devils Island Will Have
Another Trial.
PEOPLE OF PARIS APPROVE.
Ulcers Greet the Announcement Of
the Cabinets Effort
bitterly Attacks Esterhazy.
Says He Accepted Brtbes.

Paris, Sept. 27.-At a meeting of the
cabinet all the ministers being present,
decision was taken in favor of a re-
vision of the trial of former Captain
Dreyfus, and the documents in the case
will be sent to the court Of cessation
The cabinet ordered the minister of
justice, M. Sarrien, to lay before the
court of cessation the petition Of
Nine. Dr.yfus, wife of the prisoner of
Devils island, for a revision of her
husbands case.
The court therefore will decide the
legal question as to whether the first
trial of Captain Dreyfus was vitiated
by the forgery committed by the late
Lieutenant Colonel Henry, who was a
witness before the court martial and
who confessed TO having forged docu-
ment in the case The minister of JUS
tice has announced that he has given
instructions that proceedings are to be
taken Immediately against any one at
lacking the army.
The crowds of people outside the min
istry of the interior, where the cabinet
council was held, loudly cheered the
ministers. and there We're shouts of
"yive Brsson" "Vive la revision!"
E,tcrhnzy Attacked.
Henri Rochefort, in his paper the In
transeeant accuses Major EsterhaZy
Of having been bribcd by the so called
Dreyfus syndi, ate to cover himself
with disht nor by confessing to for
gerry, of which charge he was twice ac-
quilted" NJ. Rochefort adds that he
paid Est rhazy 1000 francs for copies of
INIT
in addition. with two other newspapers
he paid Esterhazy, who was literally
without a centime. 800 francs monthly
to prevent him f, ON dying of hunger
while waiting to obtain pension.
Continuing, M. Rochefort remarks:
Recently, without any apparent incen-
tive, Esterhazy mysteriously went to
London. abandoning his 300 francs
monthly. Why this emigration? Who
paid for his jouTn y? With what money
has Esterhazy paid for his meals?'
M. Clemenceau, in the Aurore. re-
marks: France is divided into two
camps-those who conceive that the in
terests of the country depend upon the
concealment Of facts by lies and those
who have a sufficiently high esteem of
the country not to separate patriotism
from the aspirations of justice and
truth"
The Libre Parole asserts that Major
Esterhazy has teleg"aphed to the min
lister of war Gene al Chanoine, protest
ing against the story published in The
Observer of London, purporting to be a
confession made by the major, the sub
stance of which was that he was the
author Of the bordereau. n document
which is said to have furnished proof o
the guilt of Dreyfus.

EXCITING CAMEL TRAINING
The Animal of the Desert Has More
Vices Than n Mule.

The Animal of the Desert Has More
Vices Than n Mule.
An officer who has been residing some
time in Egypt, where camel riding has
been obligatory, sends the following
graphic description Of his experiences
with that amiahle and useful animal:
"You can we'll imagine that there's
circus around here while the usual rid
ing instruction is going on. When the
untamed camels first arrived at our
camp, l heard tremendous growing
in front of the door, and on going out 1
saw one of these amiable beasts being
led by his keeper, but walking along
with every expression Of disgust both
in his countenance and voice.
"The man stopped ditto camel) and
attempted to tie the beasts fore legs to-
gether, when it reared, and, striking
out with its fore feet, landed OH the
keepers stomach and head, sending
him flying through space as if shot out
Of cannon. The man picked himself
out of the ditch with hand on each
bruised part, and the camel, which had
never ceased roaring, was taken in
charge by two other and more robust
natives and led to the tents, or, rather,
induced to go by energetic assistance of
a very sharp iron rod applied In most
vigorous and miscellaneous manner.
"Similar exhibitions are being con-
Quoted here daily, and we are now ready
to lead the recently broken camels
Within three or four days they become
traotable.
II first formed my opinion of a camel
some years ago, when rode across the
Arabian deserts, and see no reason to
alter it in any way. The creature has
80 many talents and so many ways of
exhibiting them. And, to begin with,
it can kick harder, higher, swifter and
oftener than a mule and can use all
four feet at one time in kicking
match. Thon it can bite worse than a
vicious horse and buck in a way to
make broncho blush with absolute
shame.
"No rider ever lived who can stay on
that perch seven feet from the ground
during a cancels exhibition OF gym
nastics. Then he can run away when
he feels like it and is often seized with
desire to slope. Upon an occasion OF
this kind his rider experiences a sensa
tion between being blown up with dy
Mantle or struggling against the throes
of an earthquake until all his joints are
dislocated and he drops, a limp, inerl
mass, to the ground.
"Then this sweet creature has way
of evincing his displeasure that is al
least effectual and convincing. lie
twists his snakelike neck into q circle
and, poking his ugly nose into the face
Of the rider, opens his cavernous mouth
and let's out roar of disgust in such {
fetid breath that the elevated human
victim is fairly blown into the middle
of the coming month "a week being too
short distance). And yet, with al
these high recommendations, which
some people might consider objectiona

Nothing illustrates the tremendous
power Of the press more clearly than
the decision OF the naval board Of con-
struction to call In their bids for three
sixteen-knot battleships and prepare
entirely new plans providing for eigh-
teen-knot ships. The board had deter
knot vessels OF practically the same
type a. the Illinois. now under con-
struction. The press of the country
protested against building vessels of
ouch limited speed. in the light of the
experience Of the feet at Santiago, and
demanded that battieships equal in
point Of speed to any afioat or building
should be provided for. The board de-
INJURED and offered many excuses for
not changing their plans. but the agita-
ton was kept up. with the result noted.
The people can thank the vigilant.
patriotic press Of the country for this
good work. AS the new vessels will
have To be larger than originally con-
tempiated Tn order to obtain the reQu!-
site speed. 1t will be necessary to sub
nit the plans to congress next Decem-
Der and ask for an appropriation suf-
ficient TO cover the additional expense

We are proud of our navy and Its mag
