spent in visiting Young's Pier where
among the leading attractions is thu

was spent on the board walk where
parade back and forth on
the busy thoroughfare and upon the
steel pier where dancing was the
chief pass-time of the evening. We
were 10th to leave such inviting
breezes and the thought of returning
to Philadelphia where a different
temperature existed was not to our
liking, but duty prevailed. We re-
turned to Philadelphia Friday
morning and Immediately went to
the geological garden where all the
different specimens of the animal
kingdom can beseen andappreciated,
but the extreme heat made sight
seeing extremely unpleasant. Dur
ing the afternoon our party was
somewhat scsttered, some going shop
ping while the writer visited Ger
mantown, the historic battlefield of
the Revolutionary War. He was
shown and invited into the famous
Chew Mansion still standing where
the hottest part of that famous bat
tie was fought. The house at that
time was the headquarters for the
British officers and hence was COW
eted citadel and after long and
bitter struggle the colonists obtained
possession. The bullet marks and
other evidences of a fierce struggle
are still apparent. The building
has remained in the Chew family
ever since and is now occupied by
the descendants of the family of Co
lonial times.
The heat of the evening was in
tense and the only avenue of escape
seemed to be visit to Willow Grove
Park, the pleasure-mecca of Phila-
delphia. The ride afforded well

opened to our gazethe great pleasure

Governor Otero of New Mexico. has
removed Judge A. B. Fall from the
office of solicitor-eeneralf for the terri
tory. The governor has also notified
the territorial treasurer and auditor
to no longer honor any of Judge Fall's
accounts as there is q vacancy in the
office.
Judge Falls commission under con-
firmation by the legislative council
does DOT expire for one year. He has
held the Office during the past year,
but has reside1 st Las Cruces, leaving
his official duties to be performed
at the capitol by an assistant. The
law, it is claimed, makes no provision
for an assistant solicitor general and it
is on the ground of alleged neglect OF
duty that the governor has made the
order for removal. Fall Is reported to
have said that If the governor attempt
ed his removal he would make a con-
test, not only in the courts of this ter
ritory, but would go to congress and
the president on the legal points in
volved, hence this order by Gov Otero
is expected to initiate a hot political
fight that will be long continued.

Alaska Land and Mining Laws.

"There are ME her lard nor mining

ator Davis, chairman of the senate
committee on foreign relations, land
it is absO'u ely necessary that the
present session of congress should rec.
| tify this condition of affairs. Con
sequently an agreement has been re =
ported that after the Oregon senatorial
gu stion has been settled it will pro-
! coed to scuss matters relating to
Alaska. All the Indications point to
an influx of not less than 100, 900 per-
sOps as soon as the Sc tson opens in the
frozen regions of the north. Necessa-
rily there must be laws adopted Tor
their guidance ard control, aud no time
should be lost by congress in ad jue ting
matters TO suit emergencies that may
confront us in few weeks. Now that
the house has passed bill in regard
to the ndholdings in Alaska, it is the
N anifest duty Of the senate to initiate
this example and proceed to either
eoncur in the house bill absolutely or
make such amend ments as are germane
and which will result in sending the
matter to conference commit

Advices from Alaska are to the effect
that the people are gathering in large

arrangements to get into the land of

want to pro ect every body as delay the

A Remarkable Document

| A remarkable document, in itself ar
almost complete treatise on polltlca
economy, is the report OF the Russian
minister of finance, Transmitting the
annual budget, a copy of which hes
reached the state department. The
minister succinctly discusses the res
pective merits of direct and indirect
taxation versus free trade. curren y
questions, agricultural economy, anC
other impor taut questions OF state
policy, which have attracted much at
tention of late years in the Units
States. He finds that irdirect taxation

taxation, not only being less burden.

easily realized by the Cover nnent
The change in the price of wheat he
regards as a not altogether unmixed
BILE sing. and on the whole the balance
of benefit inclines to An abuuda 1T har-
vest even at low prices.
Russia, he says, is passing through
the process of changing from purely
agricultural life to perit OF indus
trial and economic economy, and while
the impression might be given that
poorer, in reality they have remained
on the same level. and even risen some
what.
The minister holds that the results
Of twenty years. protection in Russia
lily justify that line of policy. He
saws there can scarcely be any dispute
that once the government, for long
period of time, has kept to STRICT snd
constant system of prOtectiO any
serious relaxation of protection would
be a great political bluDder, and would
Jar the economic organization of the
country. This. however. does not eK
clude the possibility, while carefully
watching the Development of national
economy, of some lowering OF particul ar
paragraphs in the tariff schedule in
those cases, when one branch or an
other is strong enough to withstand
foreign competition, and especially
when foreign countries in return for
such a concession agree to lower the
duties on agricultural products. The
minister gives most Interesting blsto-
nv ofths attempt to improve the Russian
currency system. He says the purpose
was 10 do this without disturbing bHsl-
ness, without causing loss, and without
enriching any one, and place the cur
rency on a firm foundation, safe from
shock. Great progress was made In
this direction during 1896: the cashing
of bank notes in gold at the rate OF one
rouble fifty kopecks airsady goes on,
and it is now proposed only 10

In conclusion the minister speaks OF
the great Siberian railroad, which he
says will in 1898. or, at latest, 1899,
reach the Amoor from both ends, and
with line of steamers on this river,
form a direct line of steam transport
tstion across the whole Of Siberia.
Reference is made to the Chinese
concession of right of way through
Msnchuria for the road, thereby
shortening it 514 versts, and the
minister says the solution of this
problem should be class ed among the

exports OF the nation, today commands
but 81 per cent of them. Statistics pre-
