Posters Candidate Must Hold Off UntiI Another District Is Great ed-Fairbanks Wants Choice.

A Washington special to the Tacoma Ledger of January 10 says:
 It Is reported that the appointment of a judge of the District of Alaska to ill the vacancy caused bv the resignation of Judge Johnston, has practically been pro missed to Senator Carter of Montana, lf this be true, and the story comes from a mos, reliable source, it may mean that the man endorsed by Senator Foster for this position will have to wait until Alaska is developed into two or more judicial dis triets.
 Even then the Washington candidate will have to face strong opposition. as the Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, has can didate for the office, and his man. like Carter's. is well known in legal circles in the state.
 Idaho. also, is after the flag, along with Oregon, and before the office Is flied it is expected that California will loom up with a candidate.
 A recent arrival in Skagway bound for the interior, who has been travelling fer some time through the east, says he was told by Chairman Carter of the territorial commission that the Alaska judgShip would be given to a Montana attorney and that the man had long been decided upon, and that everything Is in readiness for the confirmation of the senate. The informa 1t says that he knows the name Of the man to be appointed, and that the prospective appointee came to him and asked which Of the different proposed dis trlets of the Alaskan judiciary he would take, and that he advised him to take the one having Sitka as it's headquarters. That, says the informant, was last July, but feel confident that the candidate of whom speak will ultimately get the plum. lt is understood that the Montana man referred to has a wide knowledge Of that he Is we'll versed in admiralty law
 The special to the Tacoma Ledger bears in its headlines the expression that James Wickersham, of Tacoma, formerly on the bench in the state of Washington, was expeeted to get the appointment to succeed Judge Johnson. The words conveying the thought are: flames WiekerSham not likely to go to Alaska at present." A special to a Seattle paper from Wash ineton. D. c., states, in an issue of Janu ary Iz, that Attomev-General Grlggs had stated there would be no appointment made for months vet, because 1t was de- sired to see what congress would do ln re- gard to redisthtting the field. Mr. GrIgg' also said he was in favor of onlv two dts triets.

 the Committee.

Washington, Jan. Io-'Gov. Brady, of Alaska, and a delegation from Cape Nome appeared before the ho''se committee on public lands today. Tt' governor spoke on gener'l conditions 'n Alaska, and in particular urged the ext.N>iJn of the gen eral land laws to the territory.
 The Cape Nome delegation pointed out the present land conditions in the gold country. In some eases pipes are run down a half mile out from the shore and the rich sand brought up, making it likely that the land laws will have to be made to apply to water privileges. The com mlttee took no action except on private bills, but the discussioa indicated that Chairman Laeev's blll, extending the land laws to Alaska, woild be favorably reported later.

Judge Delaney Tells of Long stretch oT Quartz That should Kun Near Here.

Judge Delaney, of Juneau, who called at this port on the Cottage City on his way to Sltka 10 attend court, expresses the belief that Southeastern Alaska will prove the greatest wealth producing part of the north, and that from the quartz mines of the district. And that theie will be more development wcrk this year than ever before. He says:
 "There Is a great mineral belt running through Juneau and Ketchikan and other points, every foot of which has been ex- amned from BemerS bay to Cape Fox, and Is known to contain valuable minerals. The same belt should reach near Skagwav, and should be just over the mountains to the east of the city beyond Mt. Dewey.
 "l think there will be more development work next season than ever before on good quartz in this region. Copper, which IS in great demand in the commercial world, is one of the chief minerals attracting at tenton in Alaska just now, and the copper properties of the archipelago south of Skagway promise to come into great

LIEUT.. LYNCH'S CASE.
Questions of Law and Fact of Inn

a view to the exercise of clemency. This
at Cavite, Philippine Islands, on the charge
Of attempting to force his way into a pri-
vate residence while under the influence of
liquor. and he was found guilty and SEN
fenced to the loss of ten numbers Ordi-
narily the imposition of such a sentence,
approved as this was by the commander
ln-chief of the station, would not be SUBJ
Ject to the consideration of the NAVY De-
partment. In this case, however, the ac-
cused officer has excepted to the validity of
the proceedings of the court-martiaI and
contends that its sentence is not binding in
law. His objections to the action of the
court are based on two propositions as fol-
lows:
First. If the Philippine Islands are terri
tory of the United States, the court was
convened without proper authorization a
provision of the Revised Statutes as en-
bodied in articles for the government of the
navy, providing that General courts-mar-
tial may be convened by the President, the
Secretary of the Navy or the commander
1n-chief of fleet or squadron: but no COM
mander of a fleet or squadron in the waters
of the United States shall convene such
court without express authority from the
President"
Second If the Philippines are not terri
tory of the United States a court convened
and conducting its proceedings at a shore
station on those islands would be invalid
and such proceedings would be in contra
vention Of law.

What the Director of the Censu. Saws
About Statfstics.

Noticing that several newspapers in the
mineral regions of the country are COM
planning because apparently no attention is
being given by the census Office to mines
and mining, Director Merriam said today:
Statistics of our mineral wealth will GER
tafnly not be omitted from the reports of
the twelfth census. We are simply prevent
ed by law from taking up the subject at
the present time. The census act provides
that we shall take and publish the census
of population, vital statistics, manufae-
lures and agriculture not later than July
L, lW2. 1t then goes on to declare that
after the completion and return of the
enumeration and of the work upon the
schedules relating to the products of agri-
culture and TO manufacturing and mechau-
ical establishments provided for in section
of this act, the director of the census is
hereby authorized to collect statistics re-
lating to mines. mining and min
erals, and the production and value there
of, including gold In divisions of placer
and vein, and silver mines, and the number
of men employed, the average daily wage
average working time aggregate earn
ings in the various branches and aforesaid
divisions of the mining industry; provided
that the reports herein authorized relating
TO mines, mining and minerals shall be pub
lished on or before July L ammo DominI
1903
This is the law Of Congress-" continued
the director, mot a mere regulation of the
census ONCE It's lntentlon was to relieve
both the census office and the people from
facing at one time so many subjects that
perhaps none could be satisfactorily han
died
THE arrangement Will undoubtedly give
us more perfect census and much earli-
er publication Of final reports. The law, you
see, allows just year in which to cover
the vast field of mineral production and to
tabulate and publish the returns. OF course
We shall do 1t within that brief period and
do it well as possible.
ut will be of aid to the census Office"
concluded the director, IF the newspapers
which have commented on the absence of
mineral schedules from the census field will
be good enough to explain to their readers
the substantial reasons therefor. To do SO
will serve the cause of truth and create a
better feeling among people interested in
mining and minerals toward other divisions
of the census in which they may not be so
vitality interested, but in which, neverthe-
less, they will have place"
