Unable to Reach Nome, the Steam
 ship Alpha Returns to Dutch
 HarbOr.
 The tramp steamer Hero arrived at Esquimalt May 18th, eight days from Dutch Harbor, with the following news:
 The steamer Alpha, on her way from Vancouver to Nome, encountered solid ice 115 miles north of Dutch Harbor, and on May 7th put back to that place to replenish her coal and water supply. She sailed again on the 9th, and will wait near the ice for the breakup. One of the Alpha's passengers, H. Stad- thagen, returned on the Hero, after ac- quiring all the "experience" he de sired.
 The whalers Alexander, William Baillaiss. Belvedere. Beloga and the barkentine Pitcairn, bound for Nome with freight and passengers. were at Unalaska when the Hero sailed. and the officers express the opinion that steamers will not be able to reach Nome before the end of June. The brig Pitcairn was forty-four days com ing from San Francisco, and had a very dissatisfied crowd on board. They complained that they had nothing but salt pork to eat for some time, and it was said that the captain was afraid to come ashore for fear of violence.

GOV. BRADY CONDEMNED.
Fly Republican Territorial COnven- tiOn-He Opposed Public
 Interests.

At the Republican territorial con vention in Juneau, May 18th, Gov Brady was turned down with a dull thud," when the following resolution was adopted. It was introduced by the committee on resolutions and plat form:
 Be it resolved. By the Republicans of the district of Alaska, in convention as- sembled that the further continuance in office of John c. Brady as governor of Alaska is inimical to the interests of Republican party. and that a copy or this resolution be transmitted to the president of the United States"
 Thirty-two members of the conven- tion voted for the resolution, thirteen opposed it and three who approved it refused to vote because they explained that they did not agree with the method pursued" A copy of the reso- lution will be forwarded to President Mckinley.
 It is charged that while in Washing ton this winter Gov. Brady did not work in harmony with MT. Price, the territory's regularly elected and specifically instructed representative, but on the contrary opposed laws WnlcR ene peOpie III couVcntion uo- manded, and advocated the passage of others inimical to public interests; he had contended in Washington that Alaskans did not desire representation at the national capital, after he had been especially instructed to the con trary.
 The convention indorsed MT. McKin. ley's admin stration, demanded that the territori3l form of government be extended to Alaska. voted for the re moval of the capital from Sitka to Juneau. askdd the government that a direct cable from Alaska to Puget sound be laid. and demanded that lighthouses be erected in Alaskan waters forthwith

Oh Saturday would not have been an occa-
sion for unqualified regret. To the or
| binary resident of a progressive Western
| city the state of things maintained along
| the docks in New York would be utterly
! nexplicable Upon the crude and prtTn-
| tive arrangements established fifty or
seventy-ive years ago for the accommo-
| dalton of an infant commerce the exist
ing conditions have been built up All
along the river front on both sides of
the island until recent years rotten anu
rotting piles were the only foundation
provided for the structures. of one kind
or another designed for the temporary
housing of merchandise. Every wharf
! and warehouse above the waters level
might be described as a decaying finder
| box. No provision has existed anywhere
either for the accommodation of shippers
! or passengers Wood was the exclusive
material used for all structures, from the
floor of the warehouses to the foundations
of the piers. When, some years ago,
stone abutments were established at
Bowling Green, the work was regarded
| as curiosity by a population which could
hardly conceive of any save the most
primitive arrangements, to which they
| had always been used.
The terrible confagration Of Saturday
and Sunday could not have been possible
were it not for the criminal parsimony
and Indifference which have attended the
administration of the docks of the great
metropolis during the present century.
Crooked politics has had much to do
with maintaining such conditions as were
capable Of producing IN an inconceiva-
bly, short space of time such results from
the ignition of a bale of cotton. What
has been true of the Hoboken docks Is
true of the dockage facilities of New
York bay from Staten island to Harlem
bridge. The entire system. at least until
within few years. was designed to pro-
duce just such awful results as the press
dispatches set forth.
A far greater disaster may have been
averted through the happening Of satur-
day. 1t will probably have the effect of
at once securing such action as will make
adequate provision for the vast shipping
of that great port, and will save the city
itself from the most disastrous conse-
quences. Had the fire been started I'M
der like conditions on the east bank OF
the river, and the wind been blowing in
the right direction, disaster as great as
that which befell Chicago twice in sue
cession would have been inevitable Grave
as the results have been. they will not
have been realized in vain If the people
of New York are by them made to insist
on the wharves and docks of their city
being constructed in a manner worthy OF
SC great a community.

the United States occupies a position To-
ward existing problems in the Chinese
empire which should win for them the
confidence of all contending interests. But
unless we are to abandon our traditional
policy of non-interference, we can take
no part whatever, either friendly or un-
friendly, toward the interests which
stand arrayed against each other in the
Orient
Existing spheres of influence in China
cannot continue. They represent mere
expedient, designed to meet conditions
which passed Gus of existence with the
opening of present hostilities 1t may

which the claimant nations may act I'M

A HOPEFUL DEPARTURE.

The decision of the district bench of
Hennepin county in sustaining the exist
ing local primary law has much signifi-
canoe, looked at frcm the purely party
political standpoint. The law in question
dispcrses wholly with the plan of party
nominating conventions It's validity was
assaitcd through the demand of certain
citizens that a nominating convention
should be held for the selection OF can
didates for the local offices involved The
court held that the demand was not a
legal one, ard that the law was valid in
that feature CT it which discontinued the
party nominating conventions
A decision upholding the opposite prin-
ciple OF public conduct has recently been
made by the New York courts, the eff
feet of which has been discussed quite
generally. 1t sustains the ascendency of
party political machinery as represented
by the party political organization, the
caucus and the nominating convention
1t upholds the right of a party organiza
ton to expel any of its members who
refuse to support those candidates for
cffice who represent the organization in
which membership is claimed.
For many years past the tendency Of
legislation governing the holding of cleo
tiers has been TO le9aiize and invest with
public authority the DEGREES and meth
DDS CT purely party organizations The
legalZation of the party caucus system,
the recognition of party differences in
the official ballots, the recognition by
the law of the local executive committees
of party, organizations such as is, wit
nessed in the selection of judges Of cleo
lion. have all tended to strengthen the
hold of the party machinery on the polft-
zeal conduct of tie individual citizen.
The Hennepin county decision is an
entire departure from this principle of
public conduct, and viii have a strong
tendency, especially in case the law in
question IS found to operate successfully,
to put an sd to the patty system, es-
