By Military Rule.

WASHINGTON, Monday, Jan. S. The President has created a military department, consisting of the Territory of Alaska, and assigned Col. George H. Randall, Eighth United States Infan- try, to command. Randall is on duty with his regiment in Cuba, and will re- port here, en route to Alaska, on Jan uary 15.
 It was stated at the State Depart ment that Colonel Randall would be given command, as brigadier general of volunteers, in order that he might have sufficient rank for the new post. The action of the department in this mat 1 ter is tantamount to the establishment of complete military government in Alaska, especially as to the northern portion. The matter has been under consideration for a long time.
 There is no disposition torefect in any way on the officials of the territo- rial government, but the civil machin- cry which is said to be totally made quate. could not be strengthened and enlarged without considerable legisla- tion and the loss of much valuable time. In addition to the heavy immi- grafton into Cape Nome district from the world at large, the Klondike ap- pears to be emptying it's population up- on those golden shores, and naturally there is danger ofan outbreak of law Iessnesss and disorder among the ad- venturous spirits attracted to the mines.
 The Department has not yet fixed upon the number oft troops to De assign ed to the new department. Col. Ran daII has had experience in that quarter and will be allowed to exercise his judg- ment in the matter. It is not believed here. however that a large force will be necessary, as the miners in Alaska have usually been quick to recognize the authority of the United States Govern ment in the person of a soldier.

The Future Of Great Britain.

What will be the future of the British Empire? is query that the students of the rise and fall of governments may turn a thought to. In one way and an other Great Britain has acquired pos sessions in all parts of the globe. Her experience with American colonies something more than a century ago taught her a lesson in the government of her dependencies, and since then the citizens of them have,on the whole, been reasonably content to remain as part of the great British Empire. But not withstauding this, with the spread of education, the cultivation of trade re- Iations, and requirement of knowledge of what is going on in the world, there has grown ap, in all the English col onies, a wholesome respect for repub. Iican institutions and a Iaudable desire for self-government English statesmen have been ready to yield to reasonable demands from their colonies and in that way have kept them loyal to the mother government. Admira- tion and love for Queen Victoria has tended, to no small extent, to prevent even a small rebellion against her Maj esty's government.
 But the English war on the Boers may change the situation. People who respect self-government, though not enjoying it, but expect to some time, will be slow to defend England's war on the little Dutch Republic. Let the result ofthat war be what it will, the effect will be to stimulate the spirit that led the Boers from Cape Colony to Natal, Orange Free State and the TransvaaI; the same spirit that urged the American colonies to their inde- pendence. England has a number of colonies that are capable of self-gov- ernment. Canada and the Australian possessions can get along without the parent government at any time. India and British African possessions will naturally feel that their hope of inde- pendence is far in the future if England wins in the fight against the Boers. If she loses they will have less respect for their government and may try for their own independence on the slightest pro- vocation.
 The death of Queen Victoria, which must come within a few years, will probably bring early changes in the British colonies. The force of her per sonal character has contributed in no small degree to hold the great Empire together. British subjects do not look with pleasure to the accession of the Prince of Wales, and when that event transpires, it need not be surpris- ing to see the map of the British Em- pire take on changes very rapidly, if in deed it does not change the home Brit ish government from Empire to re, public-Seattle Times.

AT WASHINGTON
Chinese Minister Report of the Depar-
 ture of Foreign Ministers

Washington, June N-The developments of the day respecting China were important and interesting. The Chinese Ministers re- port of the departure of the foreign Min isters and their guard from Pekin greatly relieved the officials here, who took 1t as the first tangible evidence that the imperial Chinese government had a full realization of the enormity of permitting the ministers coming to personal harm and of doing all in their power to observe the international exchange.
 The keenest interest is shown by the off, cials~to learn the conditions under which the Ministers left Pekin. Minister Wu's dispatch was ominously silent on that point and though the Minister himself maintains almost obstinately the confidence in the non-existence of a state of war, it is gen. erally admitted that it will be difficult to

Preparing Maps of China

Preparing Maps of China @
 Washington, June 27.-Major Simpson, chief of the Bureau of Information of the War Department, is engaged in the prepar- ation of a map of China which will show, with as great particularty possible that part of the empire in which the present trouble is being experienced.
 Immense difficulty is being encountered in obtaining accurate information with re- spect not only to the topography of the country but also as to the telegraph and railway lines. Detailed and up-to-date in- formation is scarcely to be had, but in short time a reasonably accurate map of the country will be ready for the use of the department officials and the troops which have China as a field of operatoins. Of- fcials in the State and War Departments today were interested in the dispatch re- ceived by Minister Wu from Pekin, not only because of it's contents, but especial ly because of the route by which it was transmitted. MT Wu said it reached him from Pekin by way of Sinan Flu. Sinan Flu is the company of the Province of Shan Tung, southeast of Pekin and northwest of Shanghai. The word Flu following the name of city indicates that it is the capital of a province
 The city is near the Huang Ho, one of the two great rivers in China Telegraph ic communication between Pekin and Si- nan Cor Tsi Nan) as it Is set down on the German map, is almost drect but thence to Shanghai, the nearest cable station the route Is roundabout. That Minister Wu's dispatch came from Shanghai is almost certain, as according to the best maps in the possession of the department, there are no cable stations north of Shanghai on the Chinese coast As Minister Wus dis patch was dated Pekin on the 18th instant the supposition is that it had to be taken at least part of the distance from Pekin to Shanghai by courier thus indicating that the telegraph lines are not in opera ton along the route between these two places.
 General Chaffee has been in conference with Major Simpson as to the topography of the country in which, according to pres ent expectations, the foreign troops will operate.
