THE FUTURE OF ALASKA.

Under the present conditions, says Da-
vid Star Jordan in the November Atlantic,
when the sea otter are destroyed, the fur
seal herd exterminated, the native tribes
starved to death, the salmon rivers de-
populated, the timber cut, and the placer
gold fields worked out, Alaska is to be
thrown away like a sucked orange. There
is no other possible end, if we continue as
for our health and when we can no
longer exploit it we may as well abandon
But it may be argued that It, will be a

good government to all her scattered vii
lagos and posts. Furthermore, al this
outlay is repaid only by the enr1chnb
of private corporations, who, with the ex-
cepton of the fur seal lessees' pay no
tribute to the government
Doubtless this is true Government is
equally distributed. But the cost would
be less if we should treat other resources
as we have treated the fur seal. To lease
the salmon rivers and to protect the les
sees in their rights would be to insure
ment, with greater profit to the salmon
canneries than comes with the present
confusion ana INDUSTRIAL war. -, .

Do Not Give Up in De-

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those SC unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are alb
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
we'll consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
It is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns, and is
always more virulent than before.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeon g

THE BATTLE AT SANTIAGO

The naval battle at Santiago was very
different from that at Manila, in the
character of the ships engaged, says Ira
Nelson Hollis in the November Atlantic.
The Spaniards had six of their best YES
sells: four armored cruisers and two very
fast torpedo destroyers, with an average
speed of eighteen and a half knots. We
had four battleships, two armored cruis-
ers and several smaller craft, with
mean speed of fifteen and a half knots.
In both cases the maximum speed of the

ships on the American side. the New YORK
and the Brooklyn. and the former was nun

rniral Cervera's plan was, therefore, to go
out quickly, turn to the westward along
the coast, and disable the Brooklyn be-
fore the slower ships could come TO ner
rescue, thus carving out Ioau TO tHe
sea. The plan, although well conceived
could be carried out only in part. He did
not succeed in disabling the Brooklyn,
view to chasing, and five of his ships were
overwhelmed by the American fleet be
fore they had time to gather tull head

A NEW LAKE

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 9.-The first re-
port of the Princeton second geological
expedition to South America was made
known today.
years ago Prof. Scott sent Messrs.
Hatcher and Colburn to the I'M
known regions of Patagonia, to extend
the explorations begun by Nessrs. Pc
terSOn and Hatcher a former eXpedi-
ton. The results obtained surpass the
most sanguine expectations of Prof.
Scott and the geological department
The expedition, the report says eX-
pIored the country inland and to the
nOrthward for a distance of 800 miles
from the straits of Magellan, adding to
the knowledge of the geography Of the
country and discovering at the base Of
the AndeeS, beautiful lake, 80 miles
in length, not previously reported.
In the region of this lake or about
midway between Lake BuenOs AyreS
and the head waters of the River Chico,
or north fork of the Santa Cruz river,
a new extremely rich locality for YER
tebrae fossil was discovered and many
new facts observed bearing upon the
geology of the country. The explOra-
lions were successful in marking a COM
plete section of the marine territory de-
pOsits of the country and making col
lectiOnS of fossils from them. In these
deposits a hitherto entirely unknown
horizon has been discovered which will
prove of the greatest Importance in
finding the age of certain other beds
in regard to which there has been much
discussion among geOgoliStS. Consider
able time was taken in the examina-
ton of animal life and the collection Of
discussion among biologists. Consider
of fresh water and marine muliucs and
cruStaceans were secured with a very
complete series Of lizards and frogs.
In addition to the considerable col
lection of arts and manufactures of the
different tribes inhabiting these regions,
a splendid series of photographs were
secured and a fairly complete dictionary
of the Yahgan language compiled.

SLOT MACHINES TAKEN OUT
Chief of Police of Oshkosh Threatens
to Confscate All Gambling De-
vices and All are Removed.

Oshkosh, Wis, Nov. 9.-No slot ma
chimes are in operation in Oshkosh.
Under an order from Chief Weisbrod
they were removed from all the sa-
looms yesterday, the chief having given
notice that all machines in operation
last evening would be confiscated. The
mandate from the head of the police
department was complied with.
The slot machine owners who were
arrested and booked to appear in mu-
nicipal court this morning sent one Of
their number, Maxwell. to plead for
them as well as himself This action
was due to a mistaken idea Of the law
and the judge informed Mr.. Maxwell
that he could plead only for himself
1t was then decided to set the trials
for the 18th of this month, the court
having been assured that the accused
will all plead guilty.
In the meantime Chief Weisbrod
states that no machines will be per-
mitted to run pending a settlement of
the whole matter.
