ADMINISTRATION WEAKNESS.

Senator Mason is acquiring information about the Porcupine country that Secretary Hay should have had before he entered in- to the modus vivendi agreement. The probabilities are that MT. Hay does not yet know that he surrendered the control of valuable mining district when he agreed to the right bank of the Klaheena river as temporary boundary between Alaska and Canada. It will doubtless be revelation to him when he learns the facts of the case.
 And this introduces feature of Amerl- can administration wherein the United States has been woefullv deficient as com pared with other countries. Our depart> ment officers are not sufficiently informed about their own country. For instance, the Yukon rush had hardly commenced until high Canadian officials were here on the ground, gaining information as to trade conditions that has served them well in subsequent negotiations. Now, after three years, an assistant secretary of the treas ury has visited Alaska, and that more as a summers outing than anything else. When Canada was working upon the American departments at Washington to secure customs conceSssons, it is not prob able that our government realized that by making the concessions it was surrender ing trade amounting to many millions of dollars annually.
 While Secretary Hay and Ambassador Choate were unquestionablV ignorant of the true conditions in the Porcupne res zion, there is every reason to believe that Lord Salisbury knew exactly the effect of the agreement he was entering into in all its details.
 Herein lies the failure of the United States to properly guard the rights of its citizens. It is through the unpardonable ignorance of high administrative officials as 10 their own country.
 One of the reasons for this, no doubt, is the short terms. The cabinet officers and their assistants are usually changed every four years. The incentive for man to prepare himself to properly and thoroughly discharge his office is lacking. He hardly becomes familiar with the details of his duties at his desk when he has to make room for his successor. The uncertainty of his tenure of office has tendency to in- cline him to pay more attention to his pri- vate business than to his official duties.
 If the United States is to hold every ad- vantage it now has and gain others, in these years of active trade competition, the influence and exertions of the government must be active in conjunction with the business enterprise of the citizens.

HEALTH SUGGESTIONS.

The arrival of the Utopia from Nome suggests that it would be we'll for the city council to act in the matter of adopts Ing regulations for the protection of the city's health. In other seaport towns a city health officer is chosen who is authors ized to inspect any ship or craft arriving at the port whenever he be believes it nec- essary, and to charge the ship prescribed fee for the inspection.
 Now that all ports are quarantined against Nome it will be strange if other ships do not follow the example of the Utopia, and leave their south bound pass engers here in order that they may avoid the fifteen days quarantine required at Port Townsend. If the small pox should be brought to Skagway Lv such proteed> ings, incalculable harm would result to the city. Our people can not afford to run any risk of having quarantine established against Skagway. lThe welfare of the city depends too much on traffic to take any chances on the smallpox.

VISITING A SHRINE.
Lleutenant Rawiinson's Daring Entry II to
 the Sacred City of Kum.


 Rum, a walled city of Persia ranks second to Meshed ill sanctity, On ac- connt of the famous shrine cf Masuma Fatima, sister of the Imam kiza, a fa- nous saint of the Mohamnedans. While Lieutenant Rawlinson was on bis way to Teheran he heard much of this sacred city and the glories of tho shrine, which, it was said, no Euro 1aan had ever entered. Death, so rumor whispered, would be the portion of the audacious infidel who should be discov cred within its precincts
 Toa young and ardent spirit a danger ous adventure is an irresistible attrae- tion. Young Rawlinson determined to visit the shrine. Disguised as a Persian pilgrim, thousands of whom annually journey to the sacred city, he joined the crowd of pilgrims. His knowledge of Persian aad of the customs of the coun- try enabled him to pass undetected through the temple gates and to make his way to the tomb of the saint. The guardian gave him the customary form of words and he repeated them.
 But his curiosity almost caused his detection. Attracted by magnificent suits of steel armor which hung on the walls, he was gazing at them, when suddenly he found that he had turned his back upon the sacred shrine where in the saint was entombed.
 A thrill of alarm startled him, but the discourtesy, impossible to "true believer" had not been noticed. If it had been, there would probably have been no further career for the young lieutenant, who subsequently, bsyame the decipherer of Assyrian and Babylo. nian inscriptions and texts, and died the renowned orientalist, Sir Henry Raw. hnson. Youth Companion.

There has been considerable discussion as to the proper point to locate the demo. cratic national committee headquarters during the campaign. Chicago, lndianap- ols and Columbus are applicants for the honor. The partisans of each town insist that their own state is the only one o three in which there is hope of democratic success. This leads the Omaha Bee to suggest that if it is desired to have head quarters in state where there is reason able chance for majority TOT the Bryan electors, it would be we'll to select city in South Carolina or Texas.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1900-02-08

Republic, on the northern part of the
reservation, has armed men guarding ev-
cry trail leading from the south, to pre-
vent infected Indians getting entrance
and spreading the disease.
Conditions among the Indians are APP
paling. Respite the heroic efforts of the
reservation physician, eight to twelve In
dams are dying daily. The greatest diff
Guilty experienced by the authorities is in
keeping them within the confines of the
quarantine lines. 1t means death for an
Indian to attempt to force his way north
from the stricken districts. Several have
attempted it, but were turned back after
looking down the barrels of rifles.
There are 800 Indians on the reserva-
ton, half of whom are scattered over the
northern part. -Four hundred are in the
southern part, where smallpox is epi-
demic. The Indians refuse to submit to
medical treatment.

PARLIAMENT IN SEs SION.
Eng1and's Law Makers Convene for a
Memorable Meeting.

The British Parliament assembled
Tuesday for session which will prove
memo cable in Britain's history. The
members gathered at Westminster at an
early hour. Speaker William Court Gull
ly arrived at the House of Commons on
time, and there was large attendance
of members Before the opening of the
session there was the usual inspection of
the vaults for gunpowder, which for
mality has been observed since the days
Of Guy Fawkes.
Queen Victoria's address gives no hint
of desire for the wars end. She ex-
presses grief over the great losses sus-
tanned, speaks of her pride for bravery
of British soldiers and asks more money
for continuance of the conflict.
Not since the Crimean war has Parlia-
ment met under similar circumstances.
Not since the days of Parnell has there
been as much excitement attending it's
assembling. There was bungling in the
Crimean war, and for it the Aberdeen
ministry was overthrown There has
been bungling in South Africa now, but
unless signs fail the present ministry
will stick out if it has to elect a new
Parliament to do it. The Liberals found
themselves stronger than since Glad
stones retirement, and, correspondent
asserts, if they had leader knee high
to Gladstone they could seize the oppor-
tunity. Rosebery would be the man, but
he believes by waiting longer he will get
all he wants without fighting for it, so
he remains in half retirement
Campbell-Bannerman is only an anna
bic figurehead. Sir Edward Grey is too
young. Sir Charles Dixie was mixed in
scandal some time ago. and the noncon-
formists who are the backbone of the Lib
eral party won't walk on the same side Of
the street with him. 1t is Dixie, how
ever, who will openly try to overthrow
the Salisbury ministry. His resolution
is couched in moderate terms. Banner
man, Asquith and Fowler are expected
to support it on national grounds, dis
aVoWlnS partisan motives and demanding
IN the name of the country a ministry
which will do something. In this way
they hope to recruit from disgruntled
Tories and Unionists enough to form
hostile majority. Should the attempt
succeed, Salisbury will obtain an order of
the Queen dissolying Parliament and call
ing general election 1t would be one
OF the most exciting elections in recent
English history, but the ministry appeal
ing to patriotism and waving the union
JACK would probably win. Should the
ministry lose it would Immediately resign.
The country, however while indignant
at bungling and lack of preparation, is
not anxious to swap horses. They are
afraid it would be taken to mean that the
country was tired of the war and wanted
TO quit. The first enthusiasm, it is true,
IS gone, but except for few irreconcila-
Dies, the country, while disappointed and
chagrlned, is by no means ready to quit.
lt mas it's second wind now, and will
stand lot more punishment without
wincing.
