No important legislation relating Go Alaska will be passed at this session of congress, is the belief of Hon. J. w. lvey who is now In Seattle. However Mr. lvev is convinced that a delegate bill, at least, will go through during the life of the present congress which will meet again for a short session next December. and he thinks territorial organization Is not far ahead of our people.
 To representative of the Daily Alaskan, at the Hotel Stevens, Seattle, Mr. lvev stated that the delegate bill will be a sure shot this congress. He said the president had promised 1t his personal and immediate support and that while at Washington he eanvasssd the territorial government pro- position very thoroughly with everybody from the president down and has been unl- versilIy aesured that a territorial govern

could be understood In this country. Even ln Skagwav, he said, there were many people who were rot thoroughly familiar with the unfair Canadian law. He said these Canadian regulations were mainly responsible for the lniuring'of the trade of Seattle with those Alaskan points. Were something done to bring about an even privilege, he sald that Seattle especially would reap a large reward. He hoped, therefore, that the chamber would take lt up and do what lt could to relieve the bus mess men and citizens Of Sklgway. Were It not done, he said, he feared that Skag- way would soon become a mere flag sta ton, so to speak, lf the legislation desired was accomplished, he honestly exDected to see Skagway forge rapidly to the front un- ul lt becomes one Of the very best eltlss in [ he golden north.
 Mr. Le Revere thanked the chamber for the good work lt had already done for Alaska. He said people living there were eonysrsant with the labOrs of the Seattle body In their behalf and that they apPrs-  clated all that was done.
 The question brought up by Mr. LeI Fevre was referred to the committee on Alaska affairs, which was asked to give lt an early hearing. Mr. Le Fsyre will be In Seattle for about three weeks and during that time he will appear before the com mlttee to discuss the problem brought up today.

Value OF LIVE STOCK
SHEEP DECREASE IN EAST AND
INCREASE IN WEST.
Iowa Leads In Total Value Of Live.
1 stock-Texas Occupying Sec
end Place.

Washington. Feb. 20.-The census
bureau in report on domestic ami
mails, fowls and bees in the United
States on June /, 1900, announced
United States have a probable value
of at least $3,2OO,OOO,OOO. OF this
amount the value of the animals on
farms and ranges constitutes SO per
cent and those not on farms per
cent. The census received no reports
on the value of animals in cities and
towns but estimates them at $215,..
192,92S. The total value of all do
mestic animals on farms and ranges
was $2,9S1, ,054,115, against $2,20S,7 ,706,-
513 In 1890.
There was a gain in all parts of the
country except in the North Atlantic
states, where there was decrease OF
horses, sheep and swine. making a
total decrease of per cent in value.
Since 1890 the number of sheep de-
u ICdoCu -SVCly WHOlC SASCpI III ILS
west. The increase there was more
than sufficient to balance the loss else
where, and made the number of wool
bearing sheep for the nation IL per
cent greater than in 1890. The diary
cows on farms and rancehs in 1900
numbered per cent more than the
milch COWS reported in 1890. Under
the term milch COWS were included
in 1890 more COWS than those report
ed in 1900 as COWS kept for milk or
diary cows" The gain therefore, is
approximately 25 per cent.
Neat cattle other than dairy COWS
increased generally.
Iowa leads in total value of live
stock, while Texas is second.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 20.-The popu-
lists of Kansas will hold a convention
in this city tomorrow for the purpose
of considering whether or rut the
populst party of the state will af-
filiate with the democrats in the next
general election. 1t is understood the
convention tomorrow will not put a
ticket in the field but will recommend
that the party wait and see what
kind of ticket the democrats nomi-
nate The populists demand that the
democrats nominate A M. Harvey for
governor and Frank Doster for chief
justice of the supreme court, as we'll
as support Senator Harris fo- re-elec-
ton. If the democrats do this the
populists will set their party ma

LONG HAS LONG LONGED
TO ENJOY.
WILL WATCH CONGRESS
And If, As the Administration HOPES,
No Action is Taken In SchIey
Matter He Will Retire.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Now that the
Schley matter has been settled official
ly it is understood that Secretary Long
feels he is at liberty to carry out the
project cherished by him in the last
year of President McKiniey-s admin
istration, to retire to private lift. How
ever, this is not expected to ensue at
once for there is not certain knowl-
edge of what may follow in congress,
Notwithstanding strong belief by the
administration that the case is set
tied beyond revival. Therefore, it
is understood that the change in the
cabinet circle will not take place be-
fore the adjournment of the present
session of congress, and perhaps not
until next autumn.
Members of the Maryland delega-
tion in congress were in consultation
today regarding the latest phase Of
the Schley case, but reached no con-
clusion as to whether any move will
be or can be made.

FEAR A GREAT FLOOD.
Warm Weather and Rain Liable to
Cause Great Damage.

Pittsburg, Feb. 2O-A sleet storm
with rapidly moderating weather and
two days of rain predicted by the gov
ernment weather Office promises to
bring about the conditions feared for
some weeks past The great danger
apprehended is from the immense
goges in the Allegheny and Mononga-
hela rivers. The distractions are of
the most serious character and liable
to do almost incalculable damage to
river craft moored between this point
and Wheeling, and should the moder-
ate weather and rains bring down
with them the ice and heavy snow
from up river points the flood which
, will result is likely to be record
!; breaker
! The gorge in the Aieghany extends
almost without break from Pittsburg
| fully IS miles up the river and varies
in thickness from five feet to 16 feet
The ice is frozen to the bottom of
the river in many places, damning the
water with the result that the river is
rising above the gorge and this fact
points out that when the first rise
comes. the water will be damned back
until the valley along the river would
be flooded. which would do a damage
not to be computed in money.

PATRICK MURDER TRIAL
CHARLES F. JONES, THE VALET,
TELLS HIS STORY.
Describes Means Employed to Cause
the Death of Millionaire Will
liam M. Rice.

New York, Feb. 20-A very dramat-
ic point in the trial of Lawyer Albert
T. Patrick for the murder of the Texas
millionaire, William M. Rice. was
Jones, the valet, had been relating the
circumstances leading UP to the sud-
den death of Mr.. Rice in September.
plunging at once into the details, he
held the attention of his audience to
the end Of his recital
Freed of minor points, his story is
as follows:
In August, Patrick grew impatient.
Mr.. Rice, though an invalid, was liv-
ing too long to suit the lawyers pur-
pose. Patrick said he would come to
the house and kill him himself if nec-
essary. He suggested chloroform and
Jones said he would get some. The
idea of chloroform as means was
suggested by magazine article. 1t
was determined on after Jones had
talked with physician, who said
person whose heart was affected, as
killed with it, and that little trace OF
the drug would be left. Jones got
two ounce vial Of it by writing to his
brother in Texas.
Jones then branched off into the
alleged plan adopted to weaken the al
ready SICK old man. This was by CIV
ing him mercury and iron pills. The
pills brought on debilitating diarrhoea.
Then unwittingly friend brought
Mr. Rice present of some bananas.
OF these the old man ate nine. The
! fruit made him exceedingly Ill and
yet the weakening doses of mercury
were kepC up. By Saturday, being
about the eighth day Of the last ILL
ness, Mr.. Rice became delirious. This
testimony brought the events up to
Sunday, the day of his death, and the
witness said that during these 10 days
of illness he had kept Patrick inform
ed of the details personally and by
telephone.
William NJ. Rice's quick death. de-
clared the witness, was decided upon
at conference between Patrick and
Jones. held Saturday night. Jones
had told the lawyer of the arrival OF
a draft for $4,000. Patrick told him
it was time to apply the chloroform
now that the draft had come and Cap
tain Baker was coming, or they would
lose all. Jones agreed.
Jones here told his story OF the
actual killing. He made cone OF a
towel, in the small end of which was
a chloroform soaked sponge. Creep
ing into the room where Mr.. Rice lay
sleeping, he quickly covered the
sleeper's face with the large end OF
the cone. In half an hour he came
back, He removed the cone. Mr..
, Rice was dead. Jones swore he tele-
, phoned to Patrick the words, MT,
, Rice is very ill.," the agreed signal
, Ibetween the two of death. Jones
: story of the end was concluded by the
, statement that Patrick came to the
t house and removed all of Mr. Rice's
2 papers.
