Fenfield' statement is generally regard

the President may deem a reprimand a
sufficient compromise.

WHY NOT?
P.-I. Urges Congress to Give
 Territorial Government.

While congress Is considering the quss- tlon of the admission of the present terri tories, lt shouli not lose sight of the fact that tAere Is a district, greater ln territorial extent 'han any of the existing territories and wi,h a white population larger than that 1f some present states in the Union, vhth Is unprovlded with any system Of government at all. Alaska has never had gislltion in its Interests save Eap-hazard and rieee meal If there Is any sound and not easily eontroverted argument to be at- yartsi why a regular territorial govern msnt should n be Instituted for Alaska, it h not vet seen the light. lt Is a much sim l.r proposition Co furnish Alaska with a territorial government than to admit oth- CT territories ln the Union, and certainly suth s proposition should not excite any of Che hostility which the proposal Co ad- nit new states always brings. There are models for territorial governments which hay, done duty To the past, the provisions of which have all been Interpreted by the ur,s and the workings of whlth srs mlllir to a considerable share of the people To Alaskl as well as to the federal
 utherIues at Washington.
 The Pos,-lntslllgenosT ventures the assertion that the extension of the terTl,oI- ll system to AL ska. by the passing of an 1n rrganlc act on ldsntlcsllv the same Ines as the organic act under which " -,hingion was governed for the greater psrt of a generation, would be far more satisfactory to a greater number of people in the Alaska peninsula than the passages of arv or all of the piece meal legislation which itIs suggested to apply as tempor- sry remedies for the admitted evils of the present situation. The people oi Alaska are intelligent American citizens and able

They cal leglslate ia' better for their own interests than congress can l5 tor ihem, even were congress aided by ths presence Of a delegate from the dis tdct. Almost all of the questions present. ed ia Alaska are such ss could be dealt with by territorial legislation. Those Vhi,h cannot, could be properly presented by the territorial lsgisture through msmoT- iiis Co congress.
 The crying need of Alaska Is some form at government applicable to local needs md in which the pe0p'e have a voice.

TEN TSIN TO BE
GIVEN TO CHINESE
AMERICAN DIPLOMACY ACHIEVED
A VICTORY IN THE AMELIoRA-
TIoN OF STRINGENT TERMS
FIRST IMPOSED ON NATIVES.

Washington. July 14.-Officials of the
state department are gratified at the In
formation conveyed in press dispatches
from Pekin to the effect that the foreign
ministers have agreed upon terms under
which Tian Tsin is to be turned over to
the Chinese, and also at the victory for
American diplomacy involved in the
ameloriation of the stringent terms first
imposed. Some concern, however. is felt
here In regard to the statement that the
ministers are considering the question Of
reimbursing the foreign coucessionaires
for the grants obtained under the provis-
ional government which are now report
ed to be declared invalid by the terms
of the Tien Tsin agreement.
1t is pointed out that the German,
French and other citizens who obtained
concessions from the provisional govern
ment did SO with their eyes open to the
probability of a change of government
at Tien Tsin, and consequent annulment
of their concessions, and 1t is felt that the
Chinese treasury should not be drained
for the purpose indicated. It is therefore
probable that some influence will be
brought to bear by this government to
prevent another inroad on the Chinese
government funds.

TO ANSWER FOR MURDER.
Remarkable Story of Arrest OF Re-
lieious Enthusiast in Maine.

New York, July 14.--One of the most
remarkable murder mysteries Maine has
known In twenty-five years Is. after a
long period of official inactivity, again
engaging the attention of the courts and
exciting the interest of the people. says
Bangor special to the Times. On Sep
tember II. 1898, an elderly woman named
Sarah Ware disappeared from her home
in Bucksport. and two weeks later her
body was found, badly mutilated, in a
pasture near the house.
William T. Treworgy, a religious en-
thusiast, was arrested. Treworgy was
held to the grand jury, chiefly on the
evidence of a half-witted boy named
Fog~ who said he helped Treworgy to
move the body. Later Fogg said his con-
fession was false and Treworgy was re-
leased from jail, where he was awaiting
trial, and Fogg was locked up on the
charge of perjury. Since that time Fogg
has declared his first story was strictly
true, and that he was frightened into
making the retraction. For years the
case was allowed to rest, but now coun-
ty officials have caused Treworgy to be
re-arrested and he will be tried

GERMAN BANKER
RULES THE COURT
NIMBLE MIND OF THE WITNESS
HAD AN ANSWER FOR EVERY
QUESTION AND HE ASSUMED AN
INJURED AIR.

Berlin, July 14-Adclf Schmidt, former
managing director of the Trebert Rock
nung Grain Drying Company. whose col
LAPSE Drought about the failure of the
Leipziger Bank ABOUT year ago for
200, 100000 marks C$5O ..J,oOW. dominated
the court at Leipzig today which is try
ing the bank directors. Schmidt, who
was searchingly examined for hours,
deslt with the intricate accounts of the
Trebert Rocknung Company with an air
of openness, truthfulness and almost in
jured innocence. His nimble mind had
an answer ready for every question.
Though a prisoner, he was as much as
mis- eass as any one In the court room.
He admitted various irregularities, like,
back-dating entries In books, but af-
fir med that all of these were simply de-
vices to save the company from the ef-
fects of newspaper attacks, and asserted
that the unusual measures were perfect
ly legitimate.
In the end Schmidt admitted with a
smile that for some time the Leipzigar
bank had unfortunately been the compa-
ny's only source of revenue and said his
confidence in the ultimate success of
his alcohol distilling invention was based
during the crlllcat pefiou bSioiO thS SoA-
lapse Of the agreement with his Ameri-
can competitors going into effect on New
Years Day, 1902, under which he was to
have control of the international market.
Schmidt, who is 43 years old. has for
FIVE years been a noted figure In Central
German business. His vast operations had
behind them, as it appeared from the
evidence submitted in court today, his
personal fortune of four million marks
and the fortunes of the other directors of
the company, aggregating 23,0000o0 marks.

Washington. July 14-Plans are mate
rializlng for the naval movements which
will precede the joint army and naval
maneuvers this autumn. The arrange
ments have been placed entirely in the
hands of Rear Admiral Higginson, COM
manding the North Atlantic station, and
he is expected soon to settle the matters
of general detail, such as the limits with
in the "enemy's' ships may attack. the
selection of the ships which will compose
the attacking squadron.
An interesting part of the work in
both sets of maneuvers will be that
assigned to the 'umpires.' Officers will
be assigned to each of the ships in the
naval maneuvers and to both ships and
fortifications In the joint exercises. to
act as judges and it is understood that
the final decision in the greater man
euvers as to whether the army or the
navy has been victorious will be render
ed by a board of high ranking officers

WI WILL REMAIN
FORSEYERAL WEEKS
AFTER LEAVING UNITED STATES
THE CHINESE MINISTER PRO-
POSES TO WRITE TWO BOOKS
ON HIS OBSERVATIONS.

Washington, July 14-It is expected that
Minister Wu will not leave Washington
for his new post In China for some weeks
His successor, Liang Chen Tung is not
attached to the Chinese special embassy
at the coronation of King Edward and
the embassy is expected to attend the
coronation ceremony in August Then
Minister Wu must have time within
which to close up his affairs in Washing
ton. Prince Chun is to return to China
by way of the United States and the Off
cials of the Chinese legation are not pre-
pared to say whether the new minister
will take up his duties at the legation
upon his arrival or return later to Wash
ington.
Officials personally acquainted with the
new minNter describe him as being a man
of imposing stature, standing feet high
and inclining to stoutness.
Mr.. WI, in speaking today of his re-
turn to China, said that the first and
most urgent need of China was a finan-
cial readjustment SO as to relieve the
country of the great and increasing bur-
den caused by the payment of foreign
obligations in high priced gold, while
silver was the only current money. Next
in order, the country, he said, wanted
three things: Education. railroads and
newspapers. More young Chinese stu
dents should study in the United States
and Europe and there should be a sys-
tenn of popular education, he said. Rail-
roads were a strong force In educating
the people by bringing them into closer
contact and higher class newspapers
were another form of education.
Minister WI intends to write two
books, one on America for publication
here and the other on his observation
outside of China for circulation in his
native country. This latter work will
be intended to spread Mr.. Wu's ideas
among the people of his own country.

CHAMBERLAIN WANTS TO
SUCCEED HICKS-BEACH
By Acquescng in the Accession of Baour to The Premiership
the Colonial Secretary Has Right to the Next mpor-
tan Postion-There VIII be No Appeal.

Mr. Balfours accession to the premier
ship is a triumph of personal qualities
and by aequiescing therein Mr.. Chamber
lain has secured the place next In i'm
portance in the cabinet. After that OF
the premier. the post of chancellor Of the
weightiest one. Therefore it would be
weighiest one. Therefore 1t would be
the natural place for Mr.. Chamberlain.
Among the Liberals, strong fears are
expressed that the departure of Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach will be the signal
for the furtherance of the zollverein
movement. Mr.. Balfour being powerless
to resist the Chamberlainite tendencies
Among the many speculations current
of a less interesting character are ru-
mors that Lord Curzon. vice roy and

home TO take office in the cabinet.
1t Is understood that 1t has been de-
eided that there viii be no present ap-

Convention Meets In Galveston Today.
Advance Guard Arrives.

Galveston, Tex, July 14.-Delegates
to the Democratic State Convention,

This was particularly true Of those
who represent the counties in the

The only fight expected in the con-
vention Is for the State chairmanship.
James B. Wells of Brownsville and
Joseph e. Cockrell of Dallas are the
candidates. Mr.. Wells is the present
incumbent, and Mr. Cockrell is an ex-
ecutive committeeman. Both candi-
dates have influential friends and it
is difficult to forecast the outcome.
Congressman s. w. T. Lanham will be

his associates on the ticket having

position in the convention.

FOR ARMY
AND NAVAL MANEUVERS

from both branches of the service, prob
ably headed by Admiral Dewey.
THE task of the individual judges will
not be an easy one for the entire scheme
of the exercises Is to be based on prob
ability. Fer instance, battleship steams
oeuvers as to whether the army or the
the dead of night. A searchlight flashes
out into the .blaclness from the fort,
finds her, and the gunners ashore train
their dig weapons to blow her out of the
water Did the searchlight find her In
time to have prevented deadly work If it
had been real war; Were the guns in the
fort trained on her with the requisite pre-
cision, or can she be considered as having
run the gauntlet and as flying up the
bay to shell the metropolis. The plans
are tagging a little, owing TO the fact
that General Brooke will turn over the
command Of the department of the east
in a few days to General Macarthur, and
not until the latter takes hold of the
arrangements for the army's participation
are the plans expected to take definite
shape.
