Life on These Craft Describ-
ed By Mrs. Hitchcock
ST. MICHAEL To DAWSON
Lecture ON Behalf of the Building
Fund of the Episcopal Church.
Fully Illustrated With Lantern
= Slides, Followed BY Social
Dance-An Evenings Entertain
ment That Was Appreciated

Mrs. Mary E. Hitchcock last evening de-
livered her lecture on Barge Life on the
Yukon, The same lecture she has given
with much success in Victoria and Van
couver. 1t dealt with barge life on the
upper Yukon, and was a description Of the
country and its villages and mining camps,
with humorous charactefizatons of the
people met with on such trip and their
funny savings and dol igs. Every step in
il was fully illustrated with lantern slides,
which materially added to the interest.
Mrs. Hitchcock began her lecture, as do
most professional and efficient lecturers, by
complimentng the audience and their city.
She said: "You who live at the portals the
beautiful portals OF what was long STYLED
the Lone North--in its setting of glorious
mountains, NAV wonder that one should
come amongst you thinking to give nfor-
nation of any kind as to your own coun-
try that you do not know already, Have
not the brilliant writers of your Skagway
newspapers kept you literally supplied
with all that YOU cared to read Have
you not met in great numbers those return
ing from the golden land and lste ed to
their tales The story seems lhrt IJbare,
and yet it NAV interest you to M Ike lit
tie excursion with me this evening""
She then describes the journey from San
Francisco to Dawson, "a journey 50 much
more lengthy that the advantages of the
Skagwav route will be not only more ap.
parent to YOU. but to the tourists who will
soon come flocking here in search of scenery
far grander, holder and more picturesque
than that 70 be found in anv other part of
thu world"
Diyerging to quite Ex-Mayor Grants
admiration of the enterprise of the railroad
company, published in THURSDAYS DAILY
ALASKAN, and comparing it with the hard
ships of the White Pass tral--a diary of
one OF the pioneers on it she gave later on
she began her account of the voyage from
San Francisco to St. Michael with this pre-
face:
"Those who keep to beaten tracks can
never know the thrill If excitement which
passes through one as he or she moves
through new fields, filled with wonder as
to that which will next present itself to

Moro PoIygamy.

Polygamy is the Moro's by religion
and divine right. A Moro must give
separate house to each wife, in which
she is supposed to set up housekeeping,
with a sufficient number of women
slaves to wait upon her. She may own
them In her own right, but more often
her Moro husband must purchase them
for her. AS women slaves bring a
higher price in the market than men,
the drain on the husbands exchequer

II is fair to assume that the platform
adopted BY the Democrats State Conven-
lion at Lincoln on Monday is the sort Of
platform upon which Mr.. Bryan proposes
10 20 before the country after his nomi-
nation by the National Convention at Kan
sas City in July. 1t would be perhaps
too much to say that Mr.. Bryan wrote the
Lincoln platform. but it cannot be doubted
that ne helped to write it. nor that the
completed work represents his views au-
thoritatiyely.
The Chicago platform Of 1896 is redf-
hrmed and endorsed lin whole and in

larations are made favoring constitu-

lev tariff law is denounced as "a trust
breeding and extortion- inviting measure,
skillfully devised for the purpose of Civ
ing to q few favors which they do not
deserve, and of placing upon the many
burdens which they should not be1r.'
On the subject of the currency. the Lin
coin platform is explicit 1t says: In
stead of a system which would chain our
nation to the gold standard and compel
II to participate in all the disturbances
which come to European nations. we de-
maud an American financial system, made

ton and Congress in handing over to the

Are they free to join this issue or are
they SO amenable to railroad influences

TO shackle any sincere champion CT the

they can only prove their sincerity by

AFFAIRS IN HAVANA.
The InsuIar Government VIII Man
age Its own Finances.

HAVANA, March 20.-An order is in
preparation establishing an island treas
ury This will take large reserve funds
from the North American Trust Company,
which is the fiscal agent Of the Govern
ment. The company will still serve in this
capacity the island treasury using it Just
as the American Treasury uses the ma
tional banks and IL will still handle large
sums OF Cuha's money. This step not
taken because Of any lack OF confidence IN
the trust company. but quite to the con-
trary- The change is part of the general
scheme to let Cuba stand on her own
feet as quickly as possible.
Owing to the delay of the electoral com
mission in framing regulations. the cleo
tons will be postponed until toward the
end OF May. The Cuban majority report is
useless. Mr.. Rube1s has prepared a mi
ncrity report, which General Wood will
probably be able to use. Another factor
causing delay is the time intervening be-
tween April II. the last day for Spaniards
to register. and May l. 1t Is deemeu only
fair that more time be allowed them in
which to qualify to vote. General Wood
has instructed Senior Tamayo. Secretary of
State. to have all the mayors make ap-
proximate lists of all voters and to secure
polling Places, one to each 400 voters. In
to-, ...arsslv settled country districts this
quota will not be adhered to. This action
is taken before the adoption of any def
mite election plan in order to hurry mat
ters along
So N ich has been printed in American
papers recently about reductions in the
forces here that General Wood has au-
thorized tre statement that so far as he
is concerned there will be no reduction in
the number ct troops until after the cleo
lions. The number will then be reduced
from approx ana. ely $500 to 5000. Those
remaining will be stationed at the same
places as at present. No further reduc-
lions are under consideration. General
Wood declared that he had given no
thought to the formation OF any Cuban
regiments to replace Americans, as pub
lished in the United States.
At meeting of the Planters Associa-
tion it was decided to appoint committee
to invite Senators Platt. Teller. and AID
rich, who are How visiting Eu'E. to visit
sugar estates en- the island in order to see
for themselves what is going on. and also
to inform Senior Borrell, Spaniard. who
is now in Spain that his offer to procure
l. 600 emigrants every month Is being con-
sidered. and that the association is en-
6eaycring to obtain grant from the
Government toward paying the passage OF
these emigrants. The association also re-
solved that its members throughout the
island should encourage the institution OF
local centres of agriculture, having close
relations with the association in order to
focus the agricultural forces of the coun-
try and to work for their own advantage.

Philadelphia Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church today unanimously adopt

Nicely. commencing the National Admins
traitor for the acquisition of the territory
in the Pacific. Or. Nicely, in presenting the
resolution. said:
Il believe that nothing has been more
providential in the history of this coun-
try than the reception by the nation Of the
Islands Of the Pacific. We had reached
the point where the Pacific was in danger
OF becoming a great European lake. 1t
was absolutely necessary that the United
States should have possessions in this
great ocean. We now have stopping places
where We can find shelter and coal. Our
nation has enlarged her sphere. She has
gained the opportunity to carry good gov

hitherto not been known. And | know
Of no Government better than ours, and
Of no religion better than that Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church
The Rev. DR.. Lippincott started to make
some objection to- the phraseology of the
resolution. but there were SO many cries
for him 10 resume his seat and for vote
that the paper was adopted.
The resolution provided that the Church
take advantage OF the providential placing
CT the islands CT the Pacific under control
Ct the United States by forming an ex-
panionist army OF 800. 900 people. who Will
contribute 81 year fer spreading the
Gospel in the islands.
