DEVELOP ALASKA.
Congressman WoOten States Needs
of the North.

Seattle, Aug. 15.-"The most es-
sential factor to the development of
Alaska now is the building of rail
way over the American soil to the rich
interior was the statement of Con-
gresham Dudley G.. Wooten, of Dali
las. Tex. Mr.. Wooten returned from
trip to Alaska few days ago, and
has since been collecting still more
information as to the territory's needs.
Among other observations he says
Ketchikan should be made the port of
entry rather than Skagway, as such
change would work decidedly to the
interest of Americans. He believes
that the existing conditions discrimi-
nate in favor of Canadians. Mr.. Woo
ten went to Dawson and from there
down the Yukon as far as Eagle City.
Americans need not depend on
Canadian territory, as riches fully as
great as those of the Klondike exist
on the American side awaiting devel-
opment," Mr. Wooten said. 1.-The
Forty-Mile country is going to become
great producer, and in my opinion
the Copper River valley will astonish
even those who believe they are ia
miliar with it's resources. A railway
across American territory Is positive
ly essential to the development of
American interests. Whether such a
road should start from Valdes or from
Cook inlet am not prepared to say.
Alaska needs intelligent mining
laws, but beyond that should be let
alone"

AN EXTRA SESSION
INDICATED THAT PRESIDENT MAY
CONVENE THE SENATE.
Cuban Reciprocity Is the Object
Aimed at in the Contemplated
Action, Which Would Not Oc-
cur Before November at the Very
Earliest.

Washington, Aug. l4.-Advices re-
ceIved here indicate that President
Roosevelt will call the senate in extra
ordinary session early in November.
Ever since it became evident that
nothing would be accomplished as to
reciprocity with Cuba at the recent ses-
sion OF congress, rumors of a more or
less denfiite nature have beenl in circu-
lation that the president would call an
extra session either of the entire con-
gress to enact Cuban reciprocity legisla-
ton, or of the senate to ratify if posi-
BILE reciprocal treaty with Cuba.
During the past week it has been
stated that it was the purpose of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to call special session
of the senate early in September. 1t
can be stated on authority that he has
no such intention. His time and that
of many members of both political par
ties will be occupied during September
and October. 1t is understood to be the
belief of the president that session
held for the purpose of ratifying re-
ciprocity treaty with Cuba would be
much more likely to be fruitful of re-
suits if held after the November cleo
tions than if held before. 1t is assum-
ed that if the question of the relations
of the United States with Cuba will en-
ter largely into the approaching cam
paign and it is stated that the president
feels that the Democrats will be less
likely to offer serious opposition to re-
ciprocity treaty after the election than
they would before that time.
A treaty with Cuba has been practic-
ally prepared. 1t requies only the
finishing touches and the signatures of
Minister Quesada and Secretary of State
Hay to make it ready for presentation
to the senate. No definite date, it is
understood, has been fixed upon for the
meeting of the session jim November,
but that it will be soon after the cleo
ton is reasonably certain.
The president, it is said, hopes to
have the reciprocity question cleared
away entirely before the regular session
of congress.

TRAINING VESSEL.
Puget Sound Maynard Gets One
and II Is Considered a Good
Bid For Recognition.

Bremerton, Aug. 18.-Puget Sound
is at last to have training vessel for
the proper instruction of sailors who
will help man the vessels of its fleet of
warships The schooner Ernest,
which was on the ways at the hayward
for more than a year and was launched
on August 8, after receiving an extern
sive overhauling and a thorough repair
ing, is almost new boat and will be
used for the purposes of training yes
sci in connection with the United States
receiving ship Nipsio, stationed per-
manently at Bremerton The order
which gives authority to turn the
Ernest into a training vessel to be sta
toned permanently at the hayward, is
considered one of the best bids for
recognition which the Puget Sound
hayward has received since the yard
was created. Naval officers have felt the
need of a training ship in these waters
for years and have worked industriously
toward securing one. but heretofore
without avail Now that their endeav-
ors are crowned with success they are
accordingly jubilant. The Ernest is
not finished on deck yet, and it will
probably be two months before she is
commissioned in her new calling. She
is now lying alongside the navy pier at
3remerton, but the alterations planned
for will be completed within eight or
six weeks. The vessel was in the coast
survey service prior to coming to Puget
Sound and has had an adventurous
career

ANNUAL SESSIONS.

Salt Lake, Aug. 14.-The feature Of
the second day of the annual Elks' re-
union, was the parade of the uniformed
bodies of Elks id competitive prize
drill. For the competitive drill 81 $50
in prizes had been offered.
Most of the marching clubs were
clad in the natty Uniform of white and
purple of the Elks, but many original
uniforms were also shown, notably the
Quen Sabe lodge of Ell Paso, Tex, the
members of which were resplendent in
native Mexican costumes. The cow
boy band of Ouray, Colo, clad in blue
shirts and the rough sheepskin ''chaps"
OF the cowboy, led by a giant who tow
cred feet. clad in bearskin chaps and
carrying an old fintlock as baton,
also attracted much attention. The
parade was reviewed by Colonel Bubb
OF the Twenty-second U. s. Infantry.
San Francisco, Aug. 14.-The parade
OF the uniform rank of the Knights OF
Pythas thrust aside the business of the
supreme lodge of the order. Although
the session reconvened in the forenoon
nothing of Importance was transacted,
some minor resolutions being presented
and discussed at length.
The parade of Pthe Knights was pic
tuesque and creditable to the order.
The local police force headed the pro-
cession and then following came Maj.
ten. Carnahan and staff. Many states
were represented in the ranks. and the
showing OF numerical strength made
by California was very gratifying to the
state officials of the fraternity.
Cincinnati, Aug. 15.-The conven-
ton of the International Typograph-
lcal Union has made many changes
In it's laws. After providing for
the oldest sub getting first vacancy,
1t restricted the hours per week to
maximum of fifty-four. put evening pa
pers with Sunday editions on the sew

changes.
An effort to include superintendent
as well as foremen in the membership
was adopted.
The convention became very AMI
mated over an alleged factional
hight" that was precipitated by the
indianapolis union, and showed its
conservatism in defeating a PROPOSE
tlon to prohibit any member from be-
longing to the militia
Consideration was continued on the
elaborate report of the committee on
laws. The committee recommended
'hat all unions put forth every effort
10 abolish the interchanging of matter
previously used in type or matrices

and shall not be permitted"

Mariposa, which has been fitted re-
Gently with appliances for burning

Grafton to the possibilities of liquid

time experiments have been carried on
by his direction at the Washington

Lieut.. Winchell will report also upon

The unofficial reports from San

In south Africa had demonstrated the
lnferiority of the British artillery. The
gun which the United States has ac-

to be an improvement on the model
supplied to Great Britain. being lighter
and OF longer range. The United States
ordnance officers have long complained
that their field guns were less effective
than the French and German guns.
The United States ordnance depart
ment learned some time ago that the
krupps had new light model and they
were invited to exhibit the piece to
United States ordnanceexperts, but the
krupps declined, giving as their reason
that if they demonstrated that they had
the best piece in the world there was
no certainty that the United States
would take it.

ISOLATION of Manufacturers, has re-
ceived an opinion from Sullivan &
Cromwell, New York city, general
counsel in America of the new Pana-
ma Canal Company. which means
many millions of dollars to the manu-
facturers of the United States.
The opinion Is to the effect that ev-
cry dollars worth of machinery and
supplies necessary for the construc-
ton of the canal may be purchased in
the United States without restraint
from the operation of the French laws
under which the company was origin
ally chartered. Its attorneys declare
that the new company. whose rights
the United States propose to purchase,
is in no wise bound by the provisions
governing the old company.
