PLENTY or LITIGATION.

The number of lawyers who are leaving Southeastern Alaska for Nome Is eompara- tiyely large. as Is also the number going from Seattle and other Pacific coast cities. There Is no doubt these dStute gentlemen sec lots Of lsgal business in the new min ing teui,.r, md present indications are tha, they will not be disappointed. The bill agreed upon in the senate to leave the miners 10 make their own regulations as tc the sine Of claims and the manner of work ing them helps only little, for the litiga- tion will be largely in connection with op- srations before congress met.
 lt is known, tor instance, that many Of the most vlluatIe claims were originally s,a<ed by men who were not citizens of the United States and who had not even compiled wi;h the preliminary require ments cf ih- naturalization laws. Then there are llre- dy number Of claims on the best known creeks tied up in the courts. and thera are hundreds of claims located more tLln onee. To prove titles in such cases will take a good deal of law. Then there was the notorious abuse of the power oi attorney. by which a few men are trying to hold whole creeks.
 Certainly the outlook at Nome Is as bright for the lawyers as for any of the claim owners, From this eitv Walter church Is already there, and Morton E. Stevens and General Turner will leave in a few weeks. Thls will materially reduce the local bar.

MAKE IT A TERRITORY.

The banquet to Mr. Prce last night was a memorable event. ll was ! success as everything SO far undertaken by the cham b-r of commerce has been. lt brought all the repseSentatiue men of the city together and the discussion of local and Alaskan subjects was of a character tO be Of great utility in its SUggestiveneSS for the future efforts Of the chamber. lt was a jolly gathering, bu, mueh of the time after the dinner was spent in vev serious discussion Of very serious subjects
 The address Of Mr. Prize. fOr instance, onlv a part of which could be given here with, was a series of lessons in political economics. and opened up a wide field Of speculation and patriotic ambition. He re- iterated that we could obtain no repreSen> tation at Washington unless we asked for and obtained territorial form of govtfu- ment. Th.n he read statistics and news paper clippings showing the wealth of the country and asked why we should stand shlvering on the brink afraid to adopt the Only course open to US. which Is to ask for a territorial form of government
 attorney Day in his speech stated that he also had been converted to the tenitor- tai proposition, and would demand a terri torial form Of government. The two po- ntieal conventions offered opportunities that should not be overlooked. The dele gates of both parties should be instructed to ask a pledge that Alaska should be given territorial government.
 The whole of the chamber seemed in favor Of adopting the suggestion of Mr. Day, that bo:h democrats and republicans should demand such plank in the nation al platforms of their parties, and thus the SuggestIo6 of the DAILY ALASKAN on this point, made a few weeks ago, is be- ginning to bear fruit.
 Then Mr. Mayer showed the dinger there was in Pyramid harbor being eoneed- cd to the CanadilnS. but Mr. HiSlOp made up for this by the promise Of Smelters and manufactorieS if the impending danger Of this concession could be mi,igated or re- moved by immediate action.

LOOK AFTER THE BOYS
Juvenile Band of Petty TAsivss Are
 Working the City.

Complaint has been made to Marshal Tanner that number of small boys Ia the town are stealing numerous small articles, and have become menace to the community. They have gone into cabins and taken watches and such val uables, and other loose articles they could carry away. It appears that the lads form sort Of juvenile robbcr band and that the elder members of the party urge or intimidate the younger to do the overt acts of stealing. lt has been suggested that the parents Of these boys should heed the ways of their children, or the strong arm of the law may be invoked to keep the youths within proper bonds. The reform school has also been spoken of.

The editor of the Globe devoted
considerable space last week to
reply to a few general remarks we
made few weeks ago, all of which
he took upon himself personally.
We did not intimate a newspaper
fight or any other kind of fight,
for we are not built on the lines of
pugilist. He intimates that he has
a lot of personal biography" stored
up which he can, use if he needs to.
In Justice to ourself and our readers,
we demand that he or his friends
publish anything they have in their
possession against US. We are not
afraid of our record, so do not be
afraid of ''inconveniencing" US. If
you know anything against us, say
it out, if you don't, you should not
intimate that you do. He can de-
fend whoever he pleases, but must
not in any manner leave the impress
sion that he knows something about
US, without saying what it is. We
propose, as we said before, to pub
lish whatever we consider to be
news, regardless of whom it may

the people should never be subserv-
lent to those of any one man.
