AS long ago as last January the Government Of

ALASKAN NATIVES IN DISTRESS.
THEIR PITIABLE CONDITION DESCRIBED
BY GOVERNOR BRADY.

Washington Sept. 1.-Governor Brady Of Alaska,
In letter to Secretary Hiscock. dated St Michael
Alaska, August g. describes the distress in Alaska
which the Government is now taking steps to ale
viate. Governor Brady says:
I left Sitka II a m. July and arrived here last
evening at o'clock While coming down the Yu-
hon We stopped at various places to wood up. and
where had the opportunity went among the
nauVes 10 make observations At a place called
Greyling. some five hundred miles from here. I
saw that the natives were sick in nearly every
tent upon the shore line, and were in a deplora-
ground 1 saw one sitting with his whole
body naked and coughing and groaning. The pity
relief Even the sub-trader at that place was
sick in bed.
This morning the Bear arrived from Siberia and
different points along the Alaskan coast and st.
Lawrence Island, and reports terrible state Of
effairs among all the natives. In some places the
natives report that more than one-haR OF them
able to investigate about one-fOurth have died
in places. TIE epidemic seems to come in the form
Of grip attended by pneumonia or measles or both.
The natives seem to become Stupehed and utterly
helpless. and lie down TO die find that the Of
hCers of the Treasury Department have taken
this matter up in behalf Of and in the name OF
sistance.
In conclusion. Governor Brady says:
In this emergency the Government is very fortu-
nate to have such a man here to represent il as
Lieutenant d. H. Jarvis. He has had years OF
experience in the revenue cutter service and has
and takes real interest in their welfare I think
that the Government can make no mistake in
backing him up with supplies to relieve these
stricken natives. He is well acquainted with all
the traders and knows what ones to trust and
whom to avoid.
Governor Brady also compliments the work OF
Colonel Joseph F. Evans. the special agent OF the
Treasury Department

THE OPERATORS GRIEVANCES.

The operators, too have their grievances, but
they do not seek redress as do the miners. They
say that the miners have always been dscon-
tented set They made by the nature Of
their work. They would not to be employed
ak days week, even If they had chance. They
are paid fair wages and the coal companies are
continually trying to make the lot of their men an
easier one. The company store has been almost
entirely abolished Many things IA the coIeries
are regulated by law, and this the owners strictly
obey. The margin Of profit ton Of coal Is
small 1t costs more to bring it to the surface
than formerly. The miners think of this.
They are getting all the operators afford to
pay them, though possibly not all that they de-
serve II they strike the operators stand IT,
but they giving anthracite a setback from
which It cannot recover for years. Bituminous will
still more take its place and, the strike over, II
viii be hard 10 drive II out The operators say
that they are sorry 10 see the anthracite miners
play into the hands or the bituminOus They
claim that the leading agitators in this section
nearly all from the soft coal country, and they
greatly surprised that their employees do not
look at II as they do
MANY MINERS OPPOSED TO STRIKING.
A canvass made among the miners deve.5ps the
fact that many not in favor of striking They
belong 20 the union, but have fairly steady work
and they say that nothing be gained by leay-
ing their employment now. There are operators
who declare that at mines nearly all the en-
ployeS VIII refuse to go out This is particularly
trlle Of the men In the SchuyllCi region.
The present situation of affairs the
miners and operators be described as drift
ing" There is general belief that a few infuen-
tial men with backbone could bring the confendine
elements together and avert serious conseouennes
Men Of this stamp have not yet put IN an an
disastrous strike should ensue Just on account -
the absence of few such brave spirits.

This estimate is for a canal suitable for
navigation by the largest ships now in ex-
istence. and thus in accordance with the
terms of the bill pending in Congress. 1t
provides for a double system of locks, so
that navigation can be maintained If one
system be closed for repairs or renewals.
If a single lockage system is provided the
cost will be reduced $1967S,OOO. Narrowing
the bottom one-third will permit a further
reduction of 6,949. 600. This would bring
the estimated cost down to $163, ,913, 600
