CENSUS OF ALASKA.
Native Population Reported in a Sad
State of DestitutiOn.

StlStG OI
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE census
bureau recently completed the enumera-
ton of the district of Alaska. The
schedules have been received at the Office,
and are now in process of tabulation.
The director Of the census today gave
out the following statement with refer
ence to the work in the great territory:
''Mr. Samuel D. Dunham, who had
charge of the work in the northern dis
trict, returned to Washington a few
days ago and submitted his financial re-
port. He left Washington on this work
in May, 1899.
The native and mixed population OF
the northern district of Alaska is 1852.
The most populous district with respect
to the native population Is the country
lying between the month of the Yukon
and the kuskoquin rivers, and extend
ing back from the coast 100 miles. Mr..
Maurice Johnson, the agent-for this dis
trict travelled over 1900 miles with dog
teams during the winter and enumerated
sob persons. all of whom were Indians.
The Indians in this region are probably
the most destitute people in the North
American continent MIR. johnson reports
that from Dec. l to March Is he visited
seventy-four interior villages, and during
the time saw but three fires burning in
the shacks of dugouts.- s.-~The poor Great
ares huddle together in their miserable
dwellings during the long winter and sub
sist on frozen fish and little seal oil,
the summer. The fur-bearing animals,
which formerly furnished them with nat
ural clothing, are nearly extinct, and
they have been forced to adopt the white
mans garb, and as theil poverty prevents
them fIom securing enough to cover their
nakedness there is great suffering from
the cold. The spiritual condition of these
neglected natives is no better than the
physical, as the missionaries devote their
attention to the more attractive fields In
the gold regions and along the river,
where their good york may be seen.
1.-The Nome district is the most pop
uIous in Northern Alaska. The enumer-
alton showed permanent white popu
lation on June l Of 2,704. During the sum
n3er about $4,000 people landed at Nome,
about $500 Of these coming from Dawson.
About 1900 have returned to their homes
in the States, leaving about 1900 people
in the region contiguous to Nome. 1t IS
probable that the population of the town
of Nome during the winter Will be be
tween 400 and 5,000.

NAVAL BUREAU OF EQUIPMENT
ANNUAL REPORT OF ITS CHIEF
TOUCHES UPON MANY
+ SUBJECTS
TOR 4 CABLE IN THE PACIFIC
The Navy Has Completed It's Sub
marine Survey and Reports
Route That Is Entire
1y Feas sIbIe.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE report
of Admiral Bradford chief of the naval
bureau of equipment, records unprece-
dentedly large expenditures by cruising
ships during the last fiscal year and the
disbursement of large amounts for freight
involved in the transportation of stores.
Admiral Brandford sets forth the de-
STABILITY of a naval station at Guam,
emphasizing the Importance of the is
land as a naval base. He counts rapid
Improvement work at the Cavite naval
station and the completion of a steel
= cold storage house al Pago Pago, on tha
island of Tutuila, Samoa. A new floating
dry dock for the naval station at Al
giers, La, is to be completed by May,
1901
The amount of coal being consumed
by the navy is increasing year by year
and it's cost last year averaged nearly
81 a ton more than during the fiscal
year of 1858. Admiral Bradford again
renews his recommendation for new
naval coal depots.
The bureau recommends the installation
of the Marconi system of wireless tele-
graphy on board of several ships of the
navy, providing it can be done at a reas-
enable cost. Experiments in this system
Of signalling have proven successful in
the main, in the trials made by ships
of the North Atlantic squadron, although
>
covered. In the event that two vessels
using the system should attempt to sig
nal a single port or vessel simultaneous
y, the receiving station or ship is found
to be unable to distinguish between the
messages sent to it.
TRANS PACIFIC CABLE.
The report says that the survey by the
United States ship Nero for trans Pa
cific submarine telegraph cable to Hon
olulu and the Philippine islands was
most successful. and that a satisfactory
route for an all-American cable to con-
colonial possessions of the United States
in the Pacific and with China and Japan,
has been discovered, surveyed and
. mapped. The bureau is now ready to
lay the cable at any time.
The attention of the department is
>-called to the necessity for survey of
the western Pacific ocean. Many re-
ported danger spots" appear on the
charts, whose absolute danger is doubt
]ul thus giving rise to a great deal of
uncalled for solicitude among navigators.
Two parties. were sent to the field by
the naval observatory to witness the to-
tai eclipse of the sun on May %, 100
4he result says Admiral Bradford, was
as whole, successful, their being, how
ever, some failures with minor instru-
ments. Attention is called to the fact
that another total eclipse of the sun
will occur May II, 1901 which will be re-
markable on account of the long dura-
ton of the totality and of the high attf-
tude of the sun An estimate to enable
the observatory to send an expedition
TO witness this eclipse will be submitted.

TO RECLAIM ARID LANDS
HALF A MILLION ACRES IN MON
TANA TO BE IRRIGATED.

JANA TO BE IRRIGATED.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Two impor-
tant subjects to be discussed by the fr
rfgation convention at Chicago next
week and to be urged on congress this
session for appropriations are projects
Tor the irrigation of the. arid lands of
Of the Milk river valley in Montana.
and for furnishing a big reservoir plant
for the Pima and Maricopa Indians in
the Gula region in Arizona The first
project is calculated to cost about $4,000, :
600 altogether. Already the SUBMITS of
the Rockies adjacent to the Canadian
border nave been surveyed to ascertain
the area tributary to this point of di-
version OF water. 1t is stated that prob
ably half million acres OF the arid
lands in the Milk river valley will be
reached if the project is executed It
is proposed to build canal beginning
from st. Marys river, carrying the
water into the north, and subsequently
the south forks of Milk river and out on
the plains to the east Among other
things, 1T is claimed that the building
up OF an agricultural country there will
furnish feed to winter cattlag ,tha.tesasyssr
frequently die bys~thousands in the cold
seasons. The National Irrigation con-
gress will likely ask an appropriation
of about $250,060 to begin the work.
In the Arizona project it is proposed
to build about fifty miles up the river
beyond the present reservation. a reser-
yolr costing in the neighborhood of
N.500,0O0, which will supply not only
those only prosperous, but now dis
ressed Indians as well as a large area
OF public lands calculated to paw the
cost OF the entire project.

DECISION IS IMPORTANT.
United States Forestry Act Is Held
UncOnstItutionaI

FRESNO, Cal. Nov. 14-According to
q decision today by United States Dis
trict Judge Wellborn in the case OF Lee
Blasingame, it is held that the act Of
June 80, 1898, authorizing the secretary of
the interior to make regulations for thA
protection of forest reserves is uncon>
stitutional, because in effect it delegates
by congress legislative powere to an adj
ministrative officer.
The decision, it is claimed, practically
throws open to the sheep men all the
reservations, though they are still liable
in civil suits for damages for trespess-
ing. United States Attorney Flint will
appeal.
