SCHEME TO ESTABLISH
A REPUBLIC in ALASKA

San Francisco, Nov. 19.-The Call
prints an unconfirmed rumor from
Skaguay, Alaska, under date of No
vember 9th, telling of the discovery of
what is alleged to be a huge conspir-
acy existing at Dawson and ramify-
ing to Skaguay, Victoria, Vancouver
and Seattle, for the overthrow Of the
local government of the Northwest
territory and the establishment of a
republic, with Dawson as its capital.
According to the details of the story
arms, ammunition and provisions have
been taken in over the railroad and
cached at strategic points. Prominent
American residents of Skaguay are
said to be ringleaders in the conspiracy.
Miners to the number of 5000 are said
to await the summons to arms, ready
to fight for independence from domin-
ion rule of the gold field camps and
towns.
The plan Is to overpower the mount
ed police, arrest the civil authorities
and take government into their own
hands. The rigors of the Arctic win
ters would give the insurgents six
months immunity from attack by Ca
madam or British troops, and the ad-
venturous arch-conspirators hope for
Intervention or outside assistance by
the time the melting of Ice and snow
will permit the invasion Of their iso-
lated republic.
Seattle, WASH, Nov. 10-No credence
Is given here to the story of the al
legged discovery Mt Skaguay, Alaska, OF
II conspiracy to overthrow the Ca
madam government in Alaska. United
States Marshal Shoup, who is credited
with having come here to communicate
with the United States government re-
gardlng the matter, is said to have
only for the purpose OF bringing some
United States prisoners who had been
sentenced to terms In the penltentiary
mt McNeill's island. He returned

POWDERLY RECOMMENDS LAWS
TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION

The ratio of increase Of Italian inn
migration as compared with those from
the same country last year Is approxi-
mately thirty-siX per cent, or more
than three-fold the ratio Of increase
from all Europe, and the increases nu
merically from all other countries of
Europe aggregate scarcely one-fOurth
of that from Italy.
The total steerage immigration was
distributed as to sex between 331 900
males and 156.S63 females, as to age
between 62,562 under fourteen years.
396,516 from fourteen to forty-five
years, and 2S.S40 of forty-five and
over. 1t is shown that 117,5S7 were
unable TO read or write, 3,O5S could
read but not write; that 294,S4O
brought each less than $50, aud that
56.312 had more than $50 apiece
During the year 1863 We're returned
to their respective countries, having be-
come public charges within one year
after landing.
The number refused landing was
3,516. as against 4.246 for last year.
1t is shown that the character of the
immigration was decidedly superior to
that of last year. the reflections being
730 less, although the arrivals were
39.346 more.
The principal countries from which
the steerage arrivals for the year came
are given as follows:
Italy, Sicily and Sardinia. 1885, ,926:
Austria Hungary, 1880; Russian EN-
pire and Finland. S5.267; Ireland. 3O.-
561; Sweden, 23,331; German. empire,
21,651; Norway, 12,24S; England, r.
pa.
The larger number of immigrants it
is shown, were destined to the states
of Illinois. Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Smith, Clerk Nice and the bailiffs.
Neither III. II. 1'ammen nor +. G. Bon
fills was present. Anderson did not be-
tray any nervousness, although he was
plainly relieved after hearing the ver-
dict read
After the jury had been pOlled and
dismissed Anderson, after first shak-
ing hands with Mr.. Taylor, his cOun-
sci, shook hands with each member Of
the jury and then left the court room,
accompanied by his counsel. In dis
missing the jury, Judge Johnson said
few words of thanks for the atten-
tion they had given the case.
The Anderson case grew out of the
efforts made by Mr.. Tammen and Mr..
Bonfils to secure the release Of Alfred
Packer from the penitentiary. Ander-
son conceived plan by which he
thought he could secure Packers free
dom and partly developed it. He was
dismissed by Messrs. Tammen and
Bonfils, who alleged that he violated
an agreement. He went to the offices
of the Post, on January 16, 1900, to
discuss the case with the two men, and
before he left dispute occurred, in
which Anderson said that he was at
tackled and beaten. He drew his re-
volver and fired four shots, wounding
Mr. Bonfils severely and infiicting less
er injuries upon Mr.. Tammen. Ander-
son asserted that he fired the shots in
self-denfense.

YOUNG GIRL AT CREEDE
KILLS HER FATHER

Denver, Nov. 1S.-A Creede dispatch
to the Denver News under date of last
Saturday says: A startling tragedy
was enacted in Creede at o'clock last
evening in the shooting of Coroner DIR.
A. n. Simpson by his fifteen-year-old
daughter Gertrude. Death was instan-
taneOus, the doctor only gasping few
times after the shot. The bullet, from
n .41-caliber Colts revolver, pierced the
heart and passed almost through the
body.
The shot was fired by the girl as the
doctor lay on the bed under the infiu-
ence of liquor, facing the wall. and the
muzZle of the gun was placed in the
center of the back and burned the
mans clothing.
The shooting was made known by
the girl, who ran to a near by store,
exclaiming: Papa has been shot" Ex-
citement ran high. but the authorities
soon took charge and the citiznes were
content to await developments. The
finding of a coroner's jury this morning
was that DR.. Simpson came to his
death by gunshot wound at the hands
of his daughter Gertrude in self-de-
fense, and that she be exonerated.
The circumstances which led up to
tue hllIlIS are Well huOMIl lut cltl-
Zens, but no such outcome was ex-
pected. DIR. Simpson had been es-
tranged from his wife for several
years and the daughter Gertrude very
recently came to live with her father.
The daughter testified that her life
had been repeatedly threatened by her
father, he making gun plays and tell
ing her that he would kill her last
night, that she was driven to the des-
perate act through fear of her life.
DIR. Simpson has been n prominent
figure in Creede almost from Its in
ception, and was the most successful
physician in this part OF the state. He
was also well known In lodges and es-
pecially generous to the laborlng class.
His wife, who has been living in Lord
burg, New Mexico, is expected here
Monday.
Denver, Nov. 1S.-Further develop
ments in the Creede patriclde indicate
DR.. Simpson treated his daughter In an
atroclous manner, and that when she
fired the fatal shot she was in fear of
death unless she submitted to his un-
natural desires. She asserts that he
told her he would kill her unless she
yielded and would kill her II she gave
warning or attempted to leave the
house.
Miss Simpson will be arralgned to-
day In the District Court OH the charge
Of murder.

COMING SUGAR TARIFF FIGHT
WILL ENLIST VAST INTERESTS

against Cuban competition. The Louis
lana cane growers will advance the
same claim. Henry II. Oxnard, leader
of the beet sugar industry and also in
terested in Louisiana cane. will lead
the intellectual side of the battle for
the development of domestic sugar
Said Mr.. Oxnard:
Il estimate that we will produce
100000 tons of beet sugar in the Unit
ed States this year. In ten years l an
certain that the beet product Of The
United States, If 1t continues to re-
ceive protection, will reach 2,O0O,O00
tons a year, which it nearly equal to
our present annual consumption.
"Mr. Havemeyer has declared in IA
vor of letting in raw sugar from
Cuba free. At the same time he would
increase the duty on refined to one
half cent per pound, in order to protect
still further the product of his refin-
cries. Mr.. Havemeyer's ultimate OBJ
ject is the annexation of Cuba. He
has duty now on refined sugar Of
three tenths of a cent pound, equiva-
lent to the cost of refining
IAN annex Cuba would mean Ameri-
can prices in that island for labor and
supplies. But to continue to treat
Cuba as foreign territory and at the
same time to admit its raw sugar free,
would be a blow to production of beet
sugar mt home. We shall fight hard
against that proposition in Washing
ton"

Radcliffe Lease. to Uncle Sam.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The fish COM
mission has leased for term of three
and half years the lakes and other
property belonging to William Rad
cllffe, on the Grand Mesa, In Colorado,
with the purpose of establishing an
auxiliary station for the Matching and
collection of trout for distribution In

Mr.. Radcliffe is an English gentle

were Il number of natural lakes. He
converted these lakes into a fish re-

Mr.. Radcliffe was forbidden to enter
the country, and his buildings and
other improvements were destroyed.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-There is to
be a battle of brains backed by mil
lions in the lobbies of Washington this
winter. The gla6iators are preparing
their arguments and mapping out lines
of policy. Conferences are held daily
within the different camps.
The question at issue is whether raw
sugar grown in Cuba shall be admitted
to the United States free of duty, or
at reduced rate of duty, under n
treaty Of reciprocity. The interests
involved are vast in capital and in the
possible effect of congressional action
upon the happiness and prosperity of
thousands of people. A delegation from
Hawaii has already visited Washing
ton and another from Cuba is en- route
here.
The capital involved in the United
States is $9O,OOOO,OOO of the American
Sugar Refining Company, of which
S15,OOO,OOO is new stock issued this
year for the avowed purpose of enlarg-
ing the Cuban sugar growing, as well
as tie refining enterprises of that cor
poration; the $19.OOO.OOO of the Beet
Sugar Company, millions of other beet
companies, and n sum so vast, invest
ed in real estate and mortgages in
Cuba, that no accurate estimate Of the
amount can be made. There is also
the interest of the cane sugar indus
try in Louisiana.
The beet sugar industry will claim
that 1t should be granted protection

Washington, Nov. 19.-Commissioner
General Powderly, of the immigration
bureau, in his annual report reiterates
the views expressed in his last annual
report as to the necessity of amending
the laws in relation to the punishment
of persons who induce aliens to come
to the United States to engage in labor
or service of any kind.
In discussing the general subject of
immigration the commissioner general
says in part:
ITO deal with the problem success
fully, it seems indispensable to remove
as far as possible those conditions
which conflict with the incorporation of
the alien element into the social sys
TEN of the country, so that by actual
experience the former may learn as
soon as possible that the basis and
foundation of American policy is re-
spect and affection for and willing
obedience to the laws and customs of
the land, because the maintenance of
those laws is the best safeguard of in
dividual liberty. 1t is therefore recon-
mended that Congress enact suitable
legislation either with or, if neces.
sary, without the cooperation of the
states, for the purpose of distributing
the alien population with some refer
ence to the industrial law of supply
and demand"
The report shows the total steerage
arrivals in the United States during
the year to have been 4S7. .91S, an in
crease ever the preceding year of 3d.
346, or approximately nine per cent.
OF this increase 1920 came through
Canadian ports and the remainder
through ports of this country. There
were also 1850 other alien passen-
gers who came in the cabin, making n
total for the year of 562,S6S.

NEW ISTHMIAN CANAL TREATY
IS SIGNED AT WASHINGTON

the canal will fare alike; there will be
no discrimination in rates in favor of
United States shipping.
Otherwise the new treaty is in scope
similar to last years treaty. 1t re-
places technically the Clayton-B Bulwer
treaty, concluded April 49, 1850. By
the terms of that old convention the
United States and Great Britain agreed
that neither should seek any advant-
ages in rights of transit across the
isthmus. By the new convention
Great Britain yields her right in favor
of the United States, which is thus at
liberty to construct canal.
Nothing more remains to be done as
far as this treaty is concerned before
tne Senate meets, or. indeed, until the
treaty shall have been ratified, reject
ed or amended. If it should be ratified,
the State Department will proceed i'm
mediately to negotiate the treaties with
Costa Rica and Nicaragua for which
1t already has arranged in protocols
pending before the Senate, which will
permit the canal to be constructed and
prescribe the terms upon which the
consent of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
Is given. 1t was In anticipation of this
action, it is presumed. that the Mica
raguan government only recently de-
nounced the treaty of trade and COM
merce with the United States. This
treaty contained sections conveying
rights as to canal construction which
are to be replaced by more modern
provisions.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The new Hay
Pauncefote treaty was signed yester-
day by Secretary Hay for the United
States and Lord Pauncefote, the Brit
ish ambassador, for Great Britain.
This treaty is intended to replace the
first Hay-Pauncefote treaty. That con-
vention was amended so extensively
by the United States Senate at its last
session that the British government de-
clined to ratify it. Within few
weeks negotiations began afresh be-
tween Secretary Hay and Lord Paun-
cefote, which have just resulted in the
signature of the new treaty, drawn
with special reference to the objections
found by the Senate with the first
treaty.
Owing to the courtesy which must
be observed toward the Senate wher-
ever treaty is concerned, the State
Department is estOpped from making
public the text of the new convention,
and that will remain secret until the
Senate itself shall break the seal of
confidence.
The principal point of difference be-
tween the new and the failed treaty
is the withdrawal of Great Britain
from the joint guarantee of the neu-
trai!ty of the canal, thus leaving the
United States the sole guarantOr. The
excision of the old provision respect
ing the right to fortify the canal leaves
that right by inference optional with
the United States. All commerce of

DENVER WORKING FOR
G.. A. r. ENCAMPMENT

Denver, Nov. ia delegation of
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic and representative business
men called upon the mayor and later
met at the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday afternoon, taking preliminary
steps looking to the bringing of the
Grand Army National Encampment to
Denver next September.
The plan which had been outlined
and which was discussed at the meet
ing and with the Mayor, is to get the
encampment here at the same time the
Festival of Mountain and Plain Is in
progress. and in this way it would cost
very little to pay for entertainment.
A large part of the money expended
in giving the Festival or entertaining
such national convention as this one
is for decoration and illumination. AZ
ter the illumination and decoration has
been attended to for n convention it Is
n larger job to devise the kind of en-
tertainment to give than to pay the
money TO provide 1t.
1t is estimated that the expense nee
essary. providing the veterans can be
brought here during the Festival, will
not exceed 100000. Cleveland raised
and expended $4,000 for the last en-
campment. Less than half that sum. it
was estimated by the meeting yester-
day, will carry through both the Festi-
val and the encampment.
The executive board of the Grand
Army will meet at st. Paul in Decem-
Der and will then decide where the en-
campment will be held. st. Paul
wants the encampment. Richmond Is
after it. and so are other cities. With
Denver's Festival as an attraction 1t Is
believed they will come here, as Colo
mel U. s. Holllster declares the commit
tee already favors Denver.
