We have become so accustomed to the
use of the telephone that we hardly APP
prcciate the wonderful developments that
have been made ian connection with that

the telephone says that at the present
time its use is commercially practicable
over no longer distances than between
Boston and Omaha, whereas scientifically
it is possible to telephone entirely around
the world.

THE alaska QUESTION.
Gov. Brady and Others to Speak
Tonight at Plymouth Church.

The Alaska Geographical Society will
hold tonight in Plymouth church at s
terestng and important meeting in its his
tory. 1t is expected that 500 teachers from
the Teachers Institute viii be present, and
a number of Seattle's most prominent citi-
zens will take part in the exercises.
Special interest attaches to the address
of Gov. Brady. as his long residence in
Alaska peculiarly qualities him to speak
regarding the wants and needs of the ter
ritory, as well as the dangers which NOW
threaten. He comes fresh from several
weeks hard work in Washington City In
behalf of much needed legislation. and will
appeal TO the citizens of Seattle for their
assistance and support in preserving the
integrity OF that vast territory. and 1t Is
hoped by the society that Seattle people
wifi show by their presence their apprecia-
ton of the work already accomplished
and sympathy with that which remains TO
be done. The boundary question and the
dangers which through 1t menace both
the territory and Seattle VIII be consd-
cred at length.
Much interest attaches to the address of
Prof. c. c. Georgeson. of the United States
department OF agriculture now en- route
to Alaska, where he will continue his ex-
perimental work OF last season on much
larger scale. and no doubt with even more
surprising results.

MAY SERVE OUT HIS TERM.


There is just a possibility that Postmas-
ter Gilbert s. Meem Will continue 10 act
as postmaster of Seattle until January l.
1901. This Is because of the fact that Gen
Meem is a gold Democrat and that Pres
ident Mckinley has, it is said. made IL n
rule not to disturb Democratic pos.mas
ters during their term OF office unless
there was cause for removal and espe
ciaily so I'm the case OF those Democrats
who did not actively espouse the cause OF
BRYAN and free silver
Gen. Meem was first appointed i'm April
1885. He took charge OF the office Nav
OF that year. He was confirmed by the
senate December 81 1896 and his com
mission issued after coniirma ton provides
that he shalt hold office for four years
from that date. This would take him To-
December 81 Of the present year If he
were allowed TO serve out his fun term
A very nice question OF ethics ana poll
tics. too has arisen in regard to the an
pointmen; % Gen. Mems successor Cen
Meem did not actively work against Me-
kinlev: indeed. his sympa,hi.s were al,

Chicago platform. Besides this he has in
