POOR ALASKAN BUSINESS.
Remarkable Decrease In the Trav ell

Tacoma, Wash, Special.-Travel to
Alaska, has fallen off tremendously.
During the last two weeks arrivals
from Eastern states have been fewer
than at any time since December,
while almost every day has seen an
other steamship added to the Alaskan
feet. The steamship Cleveland is
tied at the saw mill, the business Of
fering this week being insufficient to
warrant sending her off. The steam
ship Australia sailed last night with
only 100 passengers from Tacoma and
Seattle, though she can carry 600. Her
freight is likewise light. The falling
off in travel is attributed TO discourage
ing reports from the trails.

Aguinaldo VIII Submit.

MANILA, Dec. Sowing to the fact
that the result of the Paris conference
has long been anticipated here, the
agreement of Spain to cede the Philip
pine islands to the United States created
no excitement. The Americans made
no demonstration, commercial circles
were relieved, the Spaniards were in
different and some of the American vol.
unteers were disguised at the prospect
of being detained here now that the
fighting is finished.
Aguinaldo is certain to assume q con-
ciliatory attitude because his position is
daily becoming more untenable. More
over, his rival intruders are becoming
uncomfortable, especially since funds
have run short and the outlying prov
inces have become disaffected Al.
though never much more than figure
head. Aguinaldo has been consistently
temperate, and the authorities have NJ
reason to fear that he will depart from
this policy.
Nevertheless the native newspapers
continue to publish infammatory
articles. The Republica Filipino yes

Moment Has Arrived"
when the conference terminated its
labors," says this paper, "the Filipinos
had already conquered all of the island
of Luzon and the adjacent islands, ex-
cept the towns of Iloilo, Cebu, Layte
and Sarnarillo. Therefore, Spain has

possess. The Fllipinos will never con-

chattels. They will shed their blood in
torrents again before bowling to foreign

Halt ON Further Ouibbling.
SAEIs, Dec. 6.-The joint peace COM
mission was in session for over four
hours. Much of the discussion con-
cerned details as to the guaranteeing of
the rights of Spanish citizens in the
coded colonies. The debate was occa-
sionally energetic, and the Spaniards,
on adjourning, appeared to be detected.
Secretary Ojeda of the Spanish com.
mission, when questioned after the
meeting as to the progress made, said,
excitedly: II am almost mad. l cannot
talk. We are making progress"
The American commissioners declined
to say anything further than the prog
ress was satisfactory.
The history of the document, which
will certify the passing of the oldest CO.
lonial power in the world, and the adj
vent of the new, was signalized in a
single sentence, "a peace treaty can
contain anything which victors put into
it,"
The Americans listened for hours
with their customary patience to the
technicalities convoked by the Span
iards with their customary shrewdness
and persistency against proposals max
ing for the dismemberment of their en-
pire. Darkness lad come on, and Sen
ator Frye, whose unconcealed contempt
for diplomatic quibblings excites the
amazement of the Castillians, had
stalked ont, his patience exhausted.
The burden of the Spanish arguments
was that matters outside the bare ces.

cover by the treaty, were beyond

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The schooner

the hurri 'ano ON Nov. 2S, in latitude

dark at the time and her crew could be
seen on the decks gesticulating frantic
ally for assistance. The Walleda bore
down on the stranger and got close
under her lee and hailed her. They
shouted that the vessel was sinking and
asked to be taken off. Captain Kemp
told them that his boats were stove and
useless. They said that they would
come to the Walleda in their own boats.
In the meantime another three masted
schooner came to her assistance and as

problems which the national legislators
must solve. But, though many ques-
tions may press for solution, the brief
space covered by this session, which ex-
pires by limitation March 4. precludes
the probability of much being accom-.
plished beyond the passage of the regu-
lar money budgets, the legislation for
the increase of the regular army, which
the administration deems necessary to
meet the obligations imposed upon the
country by the result of the war, and
probably the enactment of law to give
a permanent territorial government to
the Hawaiian islands.
This covers all the important legisa-
ton which the congressional leaders ex.
pect to see enacted at this session. 1t is
almost the unanimous sentiment that
no attempt should be made concerning
the possessions acquired by the war
with Spain at this session. There are
earnest advocates of the Nicaraguan
canal who will strive to secure its pas
sage now, and they may possibly be
successful, but neither it nor any one of
the measures, like the pooling bill, anti
scalpers' bill, ETC., which have strong
friends, will be allowed to interfere with
the bills the passage of which is deemed
absolutely necessary to prevent an extra
session. The leaders at both ends of
the capitol have put their
heads together and the work of the SEES.
sion is to be entered upon with the idea
OF avoiding an extra session. With
this purpose i'll view the appropriation
bills are to be given the road at both
ends of the capitol and pressed through
with all possible haste. Two sub-com-
mittees of the appropriations of the
house have been at work for week
The deficiency bill to meet the extraor-
binary expenses Of the army and navy

the full committee too an the regu-
lar District of Column appropriation
bill will be ready by the end Of the
week. 1t is necessary that the former
should become law before the holiday
recess, which this year is to be shorter
than usual, and Chairman Cannon
hopes to see it through the house and
into the senate before the end of the
present week. THE Democrats of the
house have not disclosed their position
but it is not believed they will seek to
obstruct an appropriation bill neces-
sary for the maintenance of the army
now i'll the field. Should there be q
disposition to open up and prolong a
debate upon the conduct of the war
upon this bill, it is safe to assume thar
the committee on rules will be invoked
to bring in an order of closed debate.
