Presidens Mckinley to Take Up This
Subject In His Next Message.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-Yesterday's ses
sion. of the National Irrigation con-
gress was devoted to papers and ad-
dresses pertaining exclusively to the
question of practical watering and re-
claiming of arid lands and arid plant
life. After the conclusion of the set
speeches c. B. Booth, of Los Angeles,
CAL, chairman of the committee on
permanent organization, submitted
its report, recommending the election
of the following officers: President,
Thomas f. Walsh, of Washington; first
vice president, ex-Gov. 7. L. Brad
ford Prince, of New Mexico; sec
ond vice president, F. B. Thurber, of
New York; secretary, H. B. MaXson,
of Nevada. 1t was recommended that
members of the executive committee
and one vice president be named by
delegates FROM each state repre-
sented.
AT the night session Thomas F.
Walsh, of Colorado, was the first
speaker, his theme being "Gold and
Silver Mining and the Markets They
Afford" John w. Ella, of Chicago,
followed with a short address on "a
Forecast of the Future" Mr. Ella
dwelt entirely upon the future of the
country when large part of the arid
lands shall have been reclaimed and
asserted that the formation of these
lands into small farms was to be one
of the great sources of the welfare of
the country in the time to come.

REPORT ON ALASKA.
Gov. Brady Urges an Extension OF the Gen

Condition of Natives.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The annual
report of Gov. John G. Brady, of
Alaska, to the secretary of the inte-
rior urges congressional legislation on
the extension of the general land laws
to Alaska, giving the natives the same
legal status as the whites and the
representation of Alaska by a dele
gate to congress. The report says
that at Cape Nome everything and
everybody is pen NELL; there are sew
eral claimants for each town lot, beach
people waiting for the action of the
court there"
After referring to the outbreak of
the grip, accompanied with pneu-
monia and measles, that occurred
among the native Eskimo this year,
the governor says they were threat
ened with utter determination last
summer. He adds: "a deathly plague
and wild stampede of hungry and
avaricious whites poured in on their
precincts and turned loose upon them
by shipload after shipload, bringing
with them the arts and accomplish
ments of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is
hoped that through the missionaries
and change from a hunting to a
pastoral life remnant of noble
people may be saved. The withhold
ing of the land laws is the real diff
Guilty in the way of getting terrific
rial government for Alaska. If con-
gress would treat Alaska as it has
other parts of the western frontier in
regard to land titles this will bring
within few years population there
ready to assume the burden of an ex.
pensive government, where now an en-
tire population, who are simply squat
tiers, with a few exceptions, are not
able to do so.'

Constantinople, Nov. 24.-The porte
has definitely rejected the request for

as direct violation of treaty rights,
and consequently, despite the refusal,
DIR. Thomas 81. Norton, who was ap-
pointed by President Mckinley some
time ago to establish a consulate at
Harpool has been directed to proceed
to his post. The expected visit of
the battleship Kentucky to Smyrna is
believed to relate quite as much to
this matter as to the indemnity ques-
ton.
