dnrd Not OmciaiIy Presented.

ment yesterday that there had been as yet
no charges fled against Isaac Todd Stod-
dard, Secretary of the Territory of Ari-
zona 1t was reported from Phoenix,
Ariz.. that there had been accusations Of
a serious nature filed in Washington

yesterday this was denied.

further states that the trouble has grown
out OF factional Republican fight.

tion relative to the cost of extending the
water main on the Blair Road to accom-
modate his property about coo feet north
of Chestnut Avenue He also asked the
cost Of the proposed Improvement under
the assessment and permit systems.
Reports from the departments are now
in the hands Of the Commissioners. which
show that the cost Of extending the main
will be S105O. and That the amount of the
deposit required under the permit system
viii be S525.
Captain Harding in charge of sewers and
the Water Department. in his report,
stated thai according TO the practice now
in vogue the water main should not be
extended until sewers are also construct
ed In case that sewers could also be pro
vided. he sees no reason why the request
should not be granted. In cases of this
character Captain Harding states that it
is usual to construct The sewer under the
permit system. on a deposit of onc-half
the estimated cost Of the work by the ap-
plicant for the improvements.
Captain Harding recommends that Mr..
Shoemaker be informed that the sewer
will be constructed at a cost of $3.50 to
him. if he assumes the cost but if the
other property holders will join in a re
quest for the wort. it viii be done under
the assessment system. The cost Of the

s F. Hampton. one OF their number. has
given expression to the woes Of hope de-
ferred as he says the disappointment
which they have recently experienced in
the matter. Is but one more in a long list.
Mr. Hampton tells the Commissioners
that trees have been planted on Bates
Street and around several vacant lots in
the neighbOrhood AS there are a few
more Of these lo.s which have no i'm
provemeEts he says that he supposes the
residents Of 5 Street will have to wait
until the real estate agents have secured
trees for the mimproved property.
A report upon the complaint from True
man Lanham. the Superintendent Of Park
ing, states that the holes for the trees for
Street have been prepared and that
the planting will be done this fal- if the
weather permits.

after thus expressing himself under the
head of "recapitulatlon" in his annual re-
port. adds:
This can be done by Congress voting

into the United States Treasury"
The Development OF Alaska.
There are sixty-four printed pages in
the Governors report, but from The be
ginning to the en- it is 4 vigorously sus-
tanned appeal to Congress to aid in the
Development of Alaska by the passage OF
needed laws. A specimen of the forceful
presentment of his views is found in the
paragraph asking for d Delegate in Cou-
gress.
In desiring a Delegate without territOr
ial organization there is no incOnsist-
ency. For whether organized or unOr-

Ignorance Regarding Alaska.
Governor Brady deplores the ignorance
of the m5ny regarding Alaska. AS late
as 1898, he says. a member Of the House
of Representatives made the following
statement about Alaska:
Some gentlemen object 20 the home
stead provision in this bill. Gentlemen,
men are not going to flock into Alaska for
the purpose Of taking homes. Men would
not want to take homes where they would,
in many instances have to take q" amite
in order to blow oil the ice 10 each the
ground. There are countries nearby vastly
superior for such purposes"
Such ideas as these, Governor Brady
adds, are too general He declares Alas
Ia is susceptible OF very great agricultur-
al possibilities.

Wisconsin. who have settled at Skagway
succeeded in raising over four acres in
cabbages and other vegetables, such as
beets, turnips, rhIbarb all Of which have
done we'll other men have been very
successful in raising wheat. Hundreds of
miles north of Skagway every attempt at
gardening and farming met with good re-
suits.

condition of Alaska were known there

He refers to the much discussed qces-
tion of hall of records as follows:
The necessity for a hall of records has
been even more strongly emphasized this
year. and it is respectfully suggested that
the matter be again brought to the at
tention of Congress with the view Ok OBJ
tanning final action by that body and an
authorization for securing a site and con
struction of the building"
MIR Taylor recommends the construc-
tion of a new roof and story on the Treas
ury Building, back of the present para
pets In this connection Mr.. Taylor says
1T can easily be demonstrated that the
work of this Office is seriously handicap
ped by lack of space, and as the other
branches OF the department are equally
crowded no additional space can be ac-
quired in our present location

there had been any such intent, and said
that the work had in every way been up
to the specifications, which. he said. we're
not for frst-class work
His fee of 10 per cent, he swore. was
the regular price charged by architects
in New York for alterations. Upon the
conclusion of his testimony Mr. Boring
received permission to address the court,
and said he considered his connection with
the proceedings was an outrage.

years, and have handled millions of dol

been impeached. l think my being called
here is an outrage and l shall ask Sec
retary Long that this cloud be cleared"
Mr.. Semple for Colonel Meade denied
that the latter had ever impeached his
character and said this would be shown
by the defence. Mr.. Boring said the charge
of collusiCn certainly did impeach his
character, and that he would act further
