Washington Letter.
Washington, Mar. z, 1898.

Washington, Mar. Z, 1898.
Not even the probability of war with
Spain can lessen popular interest in little
pamphlet that has just been published by
the U. s. geological survey, by direction
of joint congressional resolution. This
pamphlet contains A pages of authe ntic
descriptive matter relating to the gold
regions of Alaska, practical inform tion
for prospectors and miners, and maps of
the Forty Mile and the Klondike gold
mining regions, showing at glance all
of the known gold bearing rocks. Those
who desire copies of this pamphlet would
better lose no time in writing to senator
or representative for it, as only 10000
have been printed. They will be distri-
buted gratis by the senators and repre-
sentatives.
The report of the senate civil service
committee recommends that all deputy
collectors of internal revenue, store-keep-
ers and gaugers, and all deputy collectors
of customs shall be removed from the
classified service; and says that the
government printing Office was never leg
ally placed within the classified service
and is not now, by right, in the classified
service.
The decision of Speaker Reed that de-
bate in the house, when sitting as COM
mlttee of the whole shall be confined to
the subject matter of the bill under con-
sideration, tumbled over a long line of
presidents. Mr.. Reed is getting roundly
abused for the decision by his political
opponents, but If the decision be lived up
to without Partially, there is not the
slightest doubt that it will facilitate the
disposition of public business by the
house. And the great appropriation and
revenue bills will always afford ample
legitimate opportunities for making of
political speeches.
The government has increased its re-
ward for information that will lead to the
arrest and conviction of the murderers of
the colored postmaster and his child, at
Lake CITY, S. c., to 81, 500 in each case,
and has put some of the best detective
talent in the employ of the post office de-
partment and of the department of justice
to work on the case.
The senate passed the bill extending
the homestead laws to Alaska, and pro-
viding for tn right of way of railroads In
Alaska, without division, although there
was objection from Pacific coast senators
to privileges by the bill to Canadian rail-
roads.

The town of Foxcroft, Me-, Is in a bad
predicament Its total tax valuation is
$547. 900, while fraudulent notes issued
by the late town treasurer, Elias j. Hale,
are outstanding against the community
to the amount of over 100000 and pos
sibly over $500, 900, and the supreme
court of the state has decided that the
town must pay. Leading citizens unite
In saying that the debt never can be paid,
and that an attempt to fasten its full col
lection on the town would result in every
body's moving away. The larger proper
ty owners declare that they must and
would emigrate in that case, and one of
the principal manufacturers there has al
ready planned for the removal Of his in
dustry in case the noteholders insist upon
full payment The coming town-meet-
ing will be asked to appoint committee
to effect compromise with creditors at
% cents on ST. Present indications are
that this offer will be accepted, for the
noteholders understand that 1nslstence
upon full payment will result IN the ruin
of the town and leave them In possession
of lot of deserted and much depreciat-
lesson by this experience. 1t will never
again let a town treasurer, nomatter how
highly respected and implicitly trusted,
run on for 80 years without having his &C.
counts once audited or inqu ired into.
On Sunday and Monday the war cloud
was very heavy. 1t was reported that
Spain had requested the recall of Consul
General Lee from Havana, and objected
to supplies to the starving Cubans being
carried by war ships. President McKin-
ley refused promptly to grant their re-
quest. Later reports were given that
Spain had not made any formal demand
for Gen. Lees recall, and was not dis
posed to insist. The relief supplies to
Cuba are to be carried by the light house
house tender, Fern, so Spain can not OBJ
ieet to this. At the present time the
cloud is not quite so heavy.
The house of representatives on Tues
day unanimously passed a bill placing
$50 100000 in the hands of President
Mckinney for him to use when and where
he considers necessary. The same meas
ure was passed unanimously by the senate
Wednesday, and was promptly signed by
the president. All pairs were broken,
and every member of both houses present
went on record as voting for the bill.
The cruiser Montgomery has been sent
to Havana to relieve the Fern.

bOrc Uofod Wodpocdou not +o ra1ort a

upon the patriotic spirit exhibited in deal

CANNOT REMAIN SPANISH.

Archbishop Of tho Philippines Discusses
the Future of the Islands.
MANILA, Sept. 20. In an interview
with him by a correspondent Of tho
Associated Press Archbishop Bozal Of
the Philippines said:
II earnestly hope the islands will
not remain Spanish because the rebels
are now SO strong that such a course
would evidently cause much bloodshed.
The reconquest of the natives is i'm.
possible aud would only lead 10 a cruel
warfare"
He expressed the opinion that the isl.
ands would not become absolutely in.
dependent, because it was certain
schisms would occur which would re.
suit in incessant strife and lapse into
barbarism and tn 9 natural Incidence Of
the tropical race. The only hope, the
archbishop declared, was that a strong
Western power would intervene now.
Delay was dangerous because the peo.
pie are intoxicated, vainglorious and
restless.
He said it was undeniable that the
religious orders must go, because tho
whole people had determined to abolish
them. now that they wer, able to rem.
der their retention impossible.

public criticism OF Senator Kyle during
his recent atfilctlon. But now that the
gentleman is rapidly recovering and will
soon be able to travel home again, hav-
ing postponed for q month the meeting
Of his labor commission, it ought be
ground of legitimate inquiry to ask what
Mr.. Kyle was doing at Cleveland any
way, calling upon Mr.. HanLe OF
course, he had not called upon him, but
would have done so in due time. Mr..
Kyle was about to organize a labor COM
mission to inquire into all the outs and
ms Of labor troubles, strikes, wages
company stores, boycots, injunctions,
the causes and effects 81 these, etc. Mr..
Kyle, as the professed champion OF la
boring men, Is conceded the chairman
ship Of this committee of investigation
and as leader of 1t would naturally be
expected to he Jealous and %couscien-
tious III his investigation of the facts,
and, yet, on his way to begin this i'm
portant and philanthropic work he must
needs stop Off at Cleveland aud consult
Mark Hanna, "the labor crusher," as to
his duties. We are perhaps assuming
too much when we thus infer. ana yet,
under all the circumstances what other
reasonable construction Gao be put upon
his visit? 1t may be that he called to
see about the Doodle necessary for the
present republican campaign in South
Dakota, but that would have been no
more honorable and of much less inn
portance to Mr.. Kyle than the other.
Mr.. Kyle is done with South Dakota
politics u any other politics for that
matter. His services are now devoted to
Mark Hanna and the Judases who &C.
cured his last election to the United
States senate, and any favors he can re-
turn are at their command. What
| would the brutal labor crusher naturally
exact of Mr.. Kyle in his prospective
work on the labor commission? Any.
! thing in favor of labor? We opine not.
What impelled Mr.. Kyle to call ON Mr..
| Hanna? The latter's order or his own
impulse? Either n is bad for the
cause of labor. The whole event goes
to show how thoroughly our whole pol
itical, social and industrial systems are
dominated and misrepresented by CAPT
tai, and that even the professed cham.
pions of labor are too often found in the
employ OF the oppressor. We do not
take much stock in the theory Of special
divine vlsitations for special some, but
we cannot help wondering why Senator
! Kyle on his way to organize a commits
sion OF which he was to be the head in
! the interests OF labor should be thus
