That "A Cali.

The Juneau convention, before ad- iournment, amended the call for the convention and put it in a more fortu- nate and presentable form. This is a vindication of the News which has ob- jected to the call from the first. The Dispatch was probably the only paper in the district that was satisfied with the call and we have failed to notice any reference to the amendment, in that paper. It would have been much better to have had the call amended in the first place than to have it published to the world for month or more. However, the few papers that did publish it have very meager circu- Iation and, therefore, it was not gener- ally read.

A HAN OF GOOD JUDGMENT. Senator Shoup Sizes up the Alaska Sit uation In a Proper Tanner.


 uation In Proper Tanner.
 Senator Shoup, of Idaho, br other of our excellent marshal, visited Alas ka last summer, and he thinks our needs are about as follows:
 A separate civil code for the district. Two additional judges.
 An attorney and marshal for each court
 An increase of U. S. Commissioners and deputy marshal for each one. An increase of jurisdiction of U. s. commissioners to 81,OOOOo in civil mat ters.
 That Alaska would be injured by a territorial form of government.
 That no concessions whatever be granted to the Canadians.
 Senator Shoup is right, dead right on every proposition. We hope the other Congressional visitors will take the same view of the situation.

KlPLlNG RECOVERING.
He Has Not Been Told of the Death o
His Daughter


New York, March 6--Mr. Doubleday,
at 1:30 o'clock. said: Mr.. Kipling has
had a splendid day, that is, comfort
able day. He is beginning gradually to
take nouriShment of a more substantial
kind. OF course, he has the appearance
of a man who has been at the point of
death and his mind works very slowly.
He has not been told of his daughter
Josephine's DEATH
Then. referring to a slip in his hand
he said:
After talking the matter over with
me. Mrs. Kiplng decided to make this
request to the newspapers:
1T is Mrs. Kipling's earnest wish
that all matters connected with the
funeral of her daughter may be entirely
private. She appreciates the fact that
information concerning Mr.. Kipling is
of public interest, but this sorrow is her
own and she feels sure that newspaper
reporters and editors will not wish to
intrude upon her privacy"
Mr.. Doubleday went on to say that
this meant that Mrs. Kipling did not
wish even the time or place of her
daughters funeral to be made public
DR.. Doubleday said there were a num-
Der of reasons that induced her to make
that decision and one of them was that
for Mr.. kipling's sake, the death and
funeral of Josephine must be passed IS
quickly and quietly as possible Mrs
kipling knew, he said. that the papers
could find out everything If they tried,
but in this case she asked them not to
do so.

OFFICIALS ORDERED PAID.
But Two Thousand Laborers at Santiago
Are Unprovided For

Santiago de Cuba. March 6.-To-day
orders were received from Havana di-
recting the payment of the provincial
officials but these orders do not affect
the 1000 laborers out of work, nor meet
the fact that the public works already
Initiated are suffering seriously from
lack of prosecution.
Civil Governor Demetrius Castillo, as
precaution against possible disturb
ance, has sent word to the working
gangs that they should stay where
they are for the present. as in all prob
ability they will have orders to return
to work in the course of two or three
days. He further explains that the
delay was merely the result of the red
tape in the relations between San
tiago and Havana. asserting that Major
General Wood, the military governor,
thinks it quite probable that his esti-
mate may be accepted by cable. Thus
far there have been no public meetings
on the subject, but at clubs and cafes
the United States authorities at Ha-
vana are very sharply criticised for a
course which justly or unjustly is re-
garded here as a more injudcious dis
elimination against the best interests
of the province.

STILL SHOWED IN.



Among the Passengers.
Cheyenne, Wyo., March 6.-The pas
senger train on the Cheyenne & North
ern is still showed in at Iron Noun
tain, where it has been since Thursday
last. The relief train that started cut
yesterday got only 20 miles and was
compelled to return. Another train
went out this afternoon, but the melting
snow has frozen along the rails, max
ing progress very slow and difficult. It
is understood the passengers have been
supplied with flour and there is no i'm
mediate danger of starvation.
On the Union Pacific, No. /, which
left Cheyenne at 1O:45 last night with a
snow pillow, is fast in the drift three
miles east of Sherman. and No. 4, CON-
ing east. is in a like predicament with
a rotary about one mile east of Tie Sid
ing. Efforts We're being made to get
the train near Tie Siding back on the
switch all day to-day, so that a new
pillow could break the way over Sherman
hill and open the road before midnight
tonight. 1t has been drifting badly on
the hill to-day and all efforts may be
abortive.

ant decision bearing on the Chinese i'm

tation of certificate from the United
States consul at Hong Kong stating
that they were born in China, but that
their father was bringing them to
America for educational purposes.
These boys were arrested after two
years residence. and the United States
district court of Oregon decided that
the boys belonged to the exempt class.
Judge Morrow's decision was made on
an appeal from the government The

the boys will be deported. When the
boys reach China, they can, it is I'M
derstood. Immediately return as they
are now of the student class and
therefore exempt.
