lea May Experiment.
New York, Dec. l2.-The Patria
Club held its fist meeting of the win
ter tonight, and entertained and listened
to Colonel Henry Watterson, of Louis
vile, the speaker of the evening.
Colonel Watterson spoke on "Our
Country; Its Dangers and Its Hopes,
Past, Present and to Come" He de-
olared himself in favor of the policy OF
national expansion.
81 am not disposed" he said, ito
agree with the optimistic young Amer
ican who believes that the United
States is bounded on the north on the
aurora borealis, OH the south by the
equator, on the east by the rising sun,
and on the west by eternity, but still |
think somewhat that way.
GAS for expansion, l think that what
England has done with safety, America
may attempt. If Dewey had only
sailed away-but he did not, and where
he nailed the Stars and Stripes. there
they must stay. We must either go
forward or backward, end we cannot go
backward without loss of self-respect.
"The anti-expansionists ask how we
can take these new responsibilities
when our own government at home is
SO admittedly corrupt. On the other
hand, we are a nation of producers him
dered by overproduction. We must
have a greater market. Also, the Phil
ippine islands are not further from the
Golden Gate today than was San Fran
cisco from Washington when California
was annexed. The centralized power
of modern civilization annihilated
space and knits all together. All ma
tional expansion for us is but America,
the boy, grown to manhood and nat
urally reaching out"

teresting Report of Governor Brady, of Alaska.

he would have no assurance that il
would be accepted by the government.
II he settles as 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., a 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
lmpassable 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
first'class. Money has not been spared,
ana as result the road stands without
peer. 1t might be mentioned, in this
connection, that, owing to the limita-
tlons 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 a code of civil procedure for
the district of Alaska.

hussla' Germany and France in the
Partitioning of China.
Shanghai, Dec. 12.-John Barrett.
formerly United States minister to
Siam, has returned here after visiting
Peking and the principal cities and
ports. He says the situation in China
Is one of a most critical nature, and
Manchuria is no longer Chinese, but
Russian territory. He asserts that
New Chwang, the chief northern port
for the movement of American products,
is also practically Russian, and is liable
to be closed any day.
The only permanent safeguard to par
amount American and British interests.
Barrett says, is immediate and united
action by the interested governments to
defend their territory in the Chinese
empire, to force reforms IN the govern
ment, to prevent further cessions of
ports and provinces, and to insist upon
an 'Open-door" policy in all the ports
OF China, including the spheres of infu-
ence of Russia, Germany and France.
Otherwise, Barrett contends, the i'm
pending partition of the Chinese empire
will seriously curtail the field of trade
by disastrously affecting American and
British influence in Asia.

Agricultural Possibilities.

AS an agricultural country, Alaska is
still in it's 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 well, one
acre of ground in grass there, for pas
turgage, being worth several acres in
drier climate. There are many varie-
ties of native berries, such us currants.
huckleberries, ETC., but berries from
the States, as rule, do we'll under cul-
tivation.
"Of stockraising" says the report,
"but little can be sad. Reindeer will
soon be reared in vast herds. In the
near future we expect 70 have the mail
transported by reindeer all over North.
ern Alaska during the winter, and at
much less cost than at present"

SEVERE WIND STORM.
Gale Blew Ninety-six Miles an Hour at
Point Reyes.

Point reyes
San Francisco, Dec. l2.-The storm
which ragged all over the Pacific coast
last night and today was one OF the
most severe ever recorded by the
weather bureau. 1t extended from the
northern border down to Texas and
from the Pacific as far east as Nebraska.
In this city the wind attained a velocity
Of 45 miles an hour, but at Point
Reeves. right in the teeth of the gale,
the wind swept along at 30 miles an
hour. Considering the great velocity
of the wind, the damage done to ship
ping was slight, and $4,000 Will pay
for everything, including the charges
of towboat men for extricating vessels
from dangerous positions.

Land Laws.


So much Of the land laws as relates
to mineral lands and mining claims,
inasmuch as they are the same as are
now in force in the United States
proper, have given perfect satisfaction
throughout Alaska, but in the matter
of homestead laws, quite different
state of affairs exists. The idea that a
mar may dig out ore upon lands and
obtain patent for the same but cannot
build house and improve land for a
home, nor obtain title to it. is regarded
as highly unjust and imprudent by the
residents of that country. As a matter
of fact, the land Office has issued but
one patent under the law OF March g.,
1898, for trade and manufacture, and
the amount Of land an applicant re-
ceives depends not on any law, but
entirely on the will of the land officer.
Even the law which passed last May,
extending the homestead rights to
Alaska, is found to be practically val
ueless.
There are no surveyed lands in
Alaska, nor has any system Of survey
been provided. 1t is apostolic, there
fore, for poor settler to acquire a
homestead. II he were able and will
ing to stand the expense OF survey,

The Governor's Kocommondatlon..

The Governors Recommendation.
Before closing the report, a number
of recommendation 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. Michaes, Circle
City and Dyea there is a great lack OF
proper courtrooms and jails, 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 100000 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 live up to its pledge and extend to
Alaska the privilege of sending dele
gate to the national congress.

FREE ZONE SMUGGLING.
Washington, March 1.-THE ways and

day the Cooper bill repeating the joint
resolution enacted three years ago to
prevent a large smuggling trade back into

Mexican border. The free zone was Gre
ated by Mexico along its entire frontier.
bordering on this country, a stretch Of
about thirteen miles wide, in which terri
tory goods and merchandise were and are
admitted free of duty. This government
extended certain rights in connection with
this privileged territory, but the rights
were suspended by the joint resolution
now proposed to be repeated. The COM
mittee report that in the three years that
have passed since the resolution went into
effect it has failed OF its intention and
has driven from our own transportation
lines into foreign lines a very large and
profitable business without any return
whatever Goods and merchandise that
should and would be admitted in bond

committee reports, are now being shipped
by vessels TO Aexicanp points in foreign
bottles and over the Mexican railroads
into the free zone, thus depriving our rail-
roads of their legitimate business.
