FOR ARMY AND NAVY.
Urgency Deficiency Bill Passed tho
HOuse-Carries Sixty-Nine Millions.


Washington, Dec. 10.-The urgency
deficiency bill to provide for the sup
port of the military and naval estab
ishments was passed by the house to-
lay. practically without opposition.
fear had been expressed that the meas
ure might open up IL prolonged debate
upon the conduct of the war, but the
Democratic leaders decided that such
debate would properly come later upon
the regular appropriation bills, or upon
the bill for the reorganization OF the
army. There was not word of crit-
cism of the war during the debate.
The only point upon which an issue
was raised today was as to whether the
bill. providing, as it did, for tho pay
ment of the volunteers until July |.
1899, might not be construed as mod
ifcation of the law under which the
volunteers were mustered into service.
McRae offered an amendment provid-
ing that it should not be so construed
and upon it there was a general discus
sion ms to the advisalblity OF mastering
the volunteers out before the regular
army was increased. Cannon finally
accepted the MoRae amendment, and
that removed the only shadow of oppo-
sition to the bill. A number of amend
ments were adopted upon the recon-
mendation of the appropriations COM
mittee, which received some supple
mental estimates after the bill was pre-
pared. The largest OF these was an
item of $3,000,0O0 for an emergency
fund for the war department, increas-
ing the amount carried by the bill to
500, 1895, S92.
The conference report upon the bill
to render the securities of consuls, vice
consuls and consular agents liable for
damage in suits at law, was adopted.
The house adjourned over until Mon
day to give the committees an oppor-
tunity to work without interruption.
The senate held short sessi on and
then adjourned until Monday, after
making the Nicaragua canal bill the
unfinished business before that body.
Morgan called up the measure, where
upon Pettigrew moved to adjourn.
This motion failed l3 ayes and AZ
noes. and the bill was brought forward.
Adjournment was Immediately taken.
During the session Vest stated his
opposition to the hurried manner of
passing pension bills in the senate and
gave notice that he would insist upon
a quorum being present when pension
bills vera being acted upon.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The house to.

by vote of l19 to l0l. This action
is the elimination of a 10 years .strug-

an end to the business of ticket-scalp-

sion first called attention to the subject
in it's report of 1888. and it has been
before congress ever since in one form
or another. During the last session
extensive hearings were given both to
representatives of the railroads and the
scalpers, and Sherman, OF New York,
secured ia pledges for the measure.
1t was, however, deemed inadvisable to
bring the measure forward until the
present session. The debate today
lasted four hours. and was spirited upon
both sides. None of the amendments
offered were adopted. and the bill
passed as reported by the committee.
No business was transacted by the
senate today in open session. A few
minutes after the senate convened it
went into executive session and dis
cussed the appointment of senators on
commissions. At 2:15, business in
open session was resumed, the deaths

Missouri City, Mo-, Dec. 10.-What
will undoubtedly prove to be a double
murder was committed tonight in a
country church, two miles out from
Missouri City. Miss Della Clevcnger
was shot down, mortally wounded. and
her escort to the Westinghouse, George
Allen, was instantly killed. The muir
derer was Ernest Clevenger, cousin to
the young woman. The tragedy was
due to young Clevenger's insane jeal'
Ousy of his cousin.

A good outlook for the future of the
hop crop of this year is presented, as
there is good demand for them and
rather short supply. The market is at
present buying cautiously. They have
done very little purchasing this year,
so far, and it is almost certain that a
good demand will in consequence re-
suit English buyers are now purchase
ing only very choice hops, the price
paid here being about Is 20 and about
l8c to the buyer in England.

OF the salmon industry, a great deal
is said. There can be no doubt that
this industry is one of great impoi lance,
for from figures given it is seen that
the Alaskan output in the last year
marketed at $2.977.019. The red
salmon seems to far outnumber all 9TH
ers, although the pink and silver
salmon are found in large numbers.
Comparatively few king salmon were
taken last year. To pack these salmon
for shipment, over 5000 laborers are
employed, and, strange to say, the most
of them are Chinese. 1t has been
found almost impossible to educate the
native Alaskan Indian to American
canning methods, and this, together
with the fact that Chinese labor is ex-
ceedingly cheap, may account, in a
measure, for the large number of Chi
nese in the canneres. This salmon
trade during the past year was of suffi-
cient proportions to keep in constant
use, during the season, 50 steamers, in
addition to the 7l2 lighters and small
boats.
In the opinion of the governor,
Alaska should be we'll supplied with
inspectors, the present force of two be.
ing decidedly Inadequate.

Agricultural Possibilities.

Az an agricultural country, Alaska is
still in its infancy. little being known
OF its possibilities. Enough can be
learned. however, from experiments
made in the past year. to satisfy those
interested that such crops as potatoes,
cabbage, beets, peas and other market
vegetables can, with proper attention
and care, be raised in parts of the coun-
try without difficulty. But grass, be-
yond everything else, promises to be
the agricultural wealth of Alaska.
This is but little appreciated at present.
The native grasses are nutritious, and
grow luxuriantly. Timothy, clover and
other cultivated varieties do we'll, one

he would have no assurance that it
If he settles as a squatter and makes
improvements, he cannot tell how
future surveys may affect him. In con-
sequence of this condition of affairs,
not single homesteader has attempted
to make entry under the new law in the
land office at Sitka."
In the matter of wagon roads, rail.
roads. etc. different condition exists.
As soon as the right Of way bill had
passed, numbers of filings were made,
and several roads OF various character
are now in progress of construction.
At Unga, Berner's bay and Douglass
island there are railways in operation,
although solely for use in connection
with the mines. The Pacific & Arctic
Railway 81 Navigation Company has
probably made more progress than any
Of the other large companies, having
completed Ia miles of road over almost
impossible country. Moreover, so
much of the road as is completed is
constructed of the best material, by the
best of workmen, and is in every way
firstclass. Money has not been spared,
and as a result the road stands without
peer. 1t might be mentioned, in this
connection, that, owing to the limita-
tions of the timber laws, it was found
best to import great deal of timber,
and nearly all the timber and lumber
used in building Dyea and Skagway,
their railroads and mills, was shipped
from Pugest sound.
The governor expresses the hope that
congress, during the short session, will
pass upon code of civil procedure for
the district of Alaska.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1898-12-15


Before closing the report, a number
of recommendations are made. Among
them is the suggestion that Japonsky
island be built up as a naval station.
Attention is also called to the fact that
at Kadiak, Unga, st. Michaels, Circle
City and Dyea there is great lack OF
proper courtrooms and jais as we'll as
at Sitka, where the buildings are in
miserable condition.
The appropriation for Alaskan
schools has been found quite INSULT
cient, being but $50. 900 per year. An
appropriation of twice that size could
easily be utilized to good advantage.
A further recommendation is made
to the effect that lighthouses and other
beacons be placed at conspicuous points
along the coast, as the commerce has
greatly multiplied OF late and demands
such protection.
Governor Brady closes his report
with an appeal to the Republican party
to i've up to its pledge and extend to
Alaska the privilege of sending dele
gate to the national congress.
