BELLEvILLE. N. j.. July Twice Chancellor
Emory has granted an order requiring the
trustees OF the Methodist Episcopal Church to
show cause why they should not be restrained
from selling the old church building and the
land on which II stands. The property had
been advertised for sale by public auction next

The erection of q new church on Washington
avenue has been begun by the congregation,
but Mr.. Hugh Holmes has opposed the removal
to the new, location. He says that the church
building. the land on which it stands. and the
legally sold. Many years ago the church was
sold under foreclosure OF a mortgage. 1t was
the society. In the deed was a clause providing
that the property should never be mortGaged

liGious worship and buryinE ground. 1t is be-
cause of this clause. that Mr.. Holmes opposes
the sale. The church is one OF the oldest In the

ALASKA Avs OUTDATED.
Governor Brady Points out Some Glar-
Ing Defects.

Governor Brady Points out Some Glar-
Ing Defects.
Chicago, April 1l.-Governor John
@. Brady, of Alaska, en- route to Wash
ington to ecure better legislation for
the district, is stopping for a few days
in Chicago. Notwithstanding the
state of affairs at the national capital,
the governor hopes to gain a hearing
for Alaska and to have his suggestions
favorably acted upon.
The expected rush to Alaska during
the coming year has been one of the
prime reasons for the present visit to
Washington. The governor SAYS the
laws of the district are Inadequate for
present conditions, the defects in the
system will be greatly increased. 1t is
in the expectation of securing laws
that will be comprehensive and sufi-
cient when the new settlers come that
the governor is nov on his way to
Washington. Governor Brady said:
ALASKA has been denied legislation
in keeping with the changes in the
United States, the benefit of which it
should certainly have. Mining laws
have been extended to Alaska, but the
land laws have not. Nor man nor
company has any title to a square foot
OF land in Alaska today. In 1891 a
law was passed granting cannerymen
and traders and Manufacturers the
right to 100 acres of land each. at $3.50
an acre, but so far as l know, no one
has yet received a patent to any land.
l have lived in Sitka for 90 years and
have made repeated efforts to secure
title to the 100 acres on which l live,
but without success. We want provi.
sion made so that a man may own real
estate there.
"Then there are the questions of the
salmon fisheries, methods OF dealing
with the natives. and q sufficient ju-
dicial government. The yearly salmon
catch on the inlets and streams of the
west coast amounts to more than
So, 900, 900. A good deal OF this fishing
Is against the law. Many of the can
neries employ men to trap salmon in
the streams by stretching wire nets
across the streams in the breeding sea-
SON. The fine for this offense is $3.50
a day, but as there are only two in
spectors to look after the enforcement
OF this law, it is manifestly impossible
to make it a real law.
"Now, what we want is to have the
president appoint a commission con.
sisting, say, of a senator, a representa-.
tive, and three or five residents OF
Alaska. men who are thoroughly ia.
miliar with this state of things up
there, to go to Alaska and sit there,
and determine what legislation is best
calculated to be for the. interests of the
country" Governor Brady is accom-
panied by Mrs. Brady and two child
rem. He leaves tonight for Washing.

Numerous reductions OF charges and
extensions were made by the British
postoffice during 1897. Postage on
domestic letters was made one penny
for four ounces, with an additional half.
penny for every two ounces. Thus in
Great Britain it costs only 8 cents to
send a letter weighing six ounces, while
in the United States it would cost twice
as much. Merchants are allowed to
inclose bills with goods sent by parcel
post. Most important was the compile
ton OF the transfer of the trunk tele-
phone system OF the United Kingdom
to the postofice department. During
the year the deposits in the postal saw
ings banks increased about $50, 600, 900.
