The District Commissioners are very
busy preparing their annual report ana in
getting the bills into shape for enactment
during the coming session Of Congress.
a number Of measures were held over from
last session and a number of new bills
are being prepared. II is said that the
District has obtained more legislation from
Congress during the last four years than
il obtained for over half a century. The
chairman of the District Committee in
the House. Representative Babcock. and
the head Of the corresponding body in the
Senate, Senator Mcmillan, cleared out all
the measures which had been pending be-
fore Congress for many years and obtained
a number Of important Improvements.
The matter of The extension of streets
through the suburban section is probably
the most important measure that was en-
acted during that time. This is a ques-
tion that had come up in almost every
Congress since Governor Shepherd laid
out the city. and was as regularly turned
down. Last year the bills were all passed,
the extension plats have been prepared,
and ii only remains for Congress to appro-
pirate the money TO be used for this pur-
pose and the District Will be completely
honeycombed with streets, all of them be-
ing extended in line with the correspond
ing street in the city.
There are some sections from which
there is no outlet to the city. This is the
case with Brightwood and several of the
suburban villages in its vicinity. There
are roads connecting these places with the
city, but they are not run straight, and
no houses can be constructed upon them
until the survey is made for the street,
as in some cases the survey would cut the
residences in half. 1t is necessary that
streets be extended into this section and
the plans are being prepared whereby the
imp yements can be made during the next
hscai year, provided Congress makes the
appropriations.
The proposed extension OF Sixteenth
Street, which was authorized last year,
has been baked by the action of few
holders Of small pieces of land which
they viii not dedicate tG the District.
These persons claim that TO give up The
small holdings they have would complete
" strip them of all the real estate they
own and they would not receive anything
in return. The Commissioners are not
authorized 10 condemn this property and
they cannot condemn that for which the
bin provides until ali the dedicatons are
made. Consequently they are compelled

LAW ABIDING cOnnUNIrY.

Notwithstanding the fact that there have been a few burgliries committed in Sklgwlv within the Last week, there Is no, city Of its population and importance in the west SO free from hwleSSneSS and crime as the Alaska metropolis. This eitv contains a population 't 4ooo or 5000 peo- pie, and turing the present year it has been visited by more than 10000 trlnSien,S; yet there has not been as much work for crim- inal courts emlnatlng from Skagway as there Is in an average city of 2sOO people in the states where they have legal muni- eipal govsmmen, with police departments. TFere are very few street fights and rare, inseei, are more Se,oUs crimes against public Slietv. Skagwav Is particularly blessed with a llw abiding and orderly porulltlon. lt Is remarkable when a new community on the border land of elvillza- ton. that has gown within the brief space Of two wears Co an imposing city, whose population has heen recruited from every state oi the Union Jnd nearly every nation Of the world, cin present a cleaner record in law and order than those cities a half century old.

Washington, Feb. 12.-President Me-
Kinley sent to congress the following
message:
"As a consequence of the ratification
OF the Treaty of Paris by the senate of
the United States and its expected ratih-
cation by the Spanish government, the
United States will come into possession of
the Philippine islands on the farther
shores of the Pacific. h Hawaiian
islands and Guam, being United States
territory and forming convenient stopping
places on the wa across the sea, ncces-
sary speedy cable COMMUNICATION between
the United States and all the Pacific
islands has become imperative. Such
communication should be established in
such a way as to be wholly under the con-
troll of the United States, whether In time
of peace or war. At present the Philip
pines can be reached only by cables which
pass through many foreign countries, and
the Hawaiian islands and Guam can only
be communicated with by steamers, in
volving delays in each instance of at
least a week. TIL present conditions
should not be allowed to continue for a
moment longer than Is absolutely neces-
sary.
THE time has now arrived when a cable
in the Pacific must extend as far as Ma
Mia, touching at the Hawaiian Islands
ana Guam on the way. Two methods. of
establishing this cable communication at
once suggest themselves. First, construc-
ton and maintena nee of such a cable at
the expense of the United States govern
ment, and second, construction and main
teance of such a cable by a private
United States corporation, under such a
safeguard as congress shall impose.
Il do not make any recommendation to
congress as to which of these methods
will be the more desirable. The cable the
length of that desired requires such
length of time for construction and lay
ing, that Ii Is estimated that at least two
years must elapse after giving the order
for the cable before the entire system
could be successfully laid and put in
operation. Further deep sea soundings
must be taken west OF the Hawaiian
islands before the best route for the ca
BILE can be selected. Under these circum-
stances il becomes a paramount neces-
sity hat measures should be taken before
the close of the present congress to pro-
vide such means as may seem suitable
for the establishment OF a cable system.
i recommend the whole subject to the
careful consideration OF the congress and
to such prompt action as may be advisa-

Attempt to Blow Up IA Hotel With
800 Sleeping Inmates.

Bate, Mont, Feb. II. An EVIL
dent plot TO blow up the new Florence
hotel with dynamite was discovered and
frustrated last night. The Waterman of
the hotel found a box containing fifty
pounds of dynamite secreted in the back
OF tne hotel and placed in such a position
that 1t could have been intended for no
other purpose than to blow up the hotel.
The police were notified and took posses
sion OF the explosive and have been try
irg TO find some clue to the parties who
placed 1t there. but without success so
far. There were between 300 and 400 peo-
pie asleep In the hotel last night. There are
some dangerous cranks and dynamiters
In Butte, as several residences have been
blown up lately, blu. all efforts to cap
ture them have been unavailing. The
