In the spring of 1904 the people of Alaska will hold their territorial political conventions. The republicans and democrats will both "resove" with much verbosity. The conditions existing in this dis tric will receive due consideration j" the republican convention will extol the virtues of the republican party, and will "point with pride" to half century of success the democrats will "view with alarm :" the growth of republicansm, trusts, combines, and tho canker worm; and in all human probability, both great parties" will entirely forget all about
 the needs most germane to the territory For of such is the kingdom of politics.

THE MILK IN THE COCOANUT.

"Alaska for Alaskans" is good motto for all persons who have tithe of interest in the territory. What Alaska needs as much anything, in opinion is that greater interest be taken in the terri tory on the part of the people who live in it. We have, herc ofore briefly referred to this phase of interesting subject, and we shall probably do again and again. Our neighbors of Southeastern Alaska are far and away ahead of us in their devotion and attention to the needs of their section. They are united in urging Alaska's demands upon the atten-
 ton of congress. They make themselves heard, if not felt. They tell their troubles to the administration and to congress, and their newspapers alert and active in pointing to the wrongs and ourages that have been for years inflicted upon the people of the district It is true that they have been doing this for years but their labors are beginning to bear fruit The people of Southeastern Alaska have established permanent residence in the land of their adoption. They are becommng settled people. Permanent communities growing up with the gradual develop ment of the country. It is quite possible that but small percentage of these people who went to South eastern Alaska, say ten or fifteen years ago. did so with the intention of remaining. But they did main and there they are today building homes and rearing families.
 A stranger in strange land takes but little inter- est in the people the conditions existing in a com munty in which he is merely temporary sojourner It is not at all likely that unequal laws unjust taxa tion or maladministration in office interest him. Why should it save tangible something with which he does not in contact and to which, therefore he pays but little heed.
 It may be set down as an axiom that the real prosperity of country is measured by the amount of interest which its people take in its welfare. state of serfdom, such as existed in Russia, does not breed patriotic people. But it does beset apathy. The exile in foreign land does not look upon the country which is anchorage ground for him with eyes of favor. Certainly it becomes more and more dis tasteful to him until, perchance, he bear it longer. ,-,
 How many men and women there today in Northwestern Alaska who really imagine that they you will, in aStrange land. And yet, venture the assertion, that the years to will find them here, and perhaps their chldren's children.
 Seward peninsula, a whole, is land not pleas ing to the eye, and yet it is confessedy rich in that for which nearly all men strive-gold. For of years to come in all likelihood the miner will follow his business right in this section. Probably long before the pacers are exhausted the era of quartz mining will have begun and who can foretell the developments it will bring.
 Therefore, tho sooner people, men and women. forego looking upon Northwestern Alaska mere temporary anchorage ground, the sooner will that developing its resources creates patriotism and puts an end to that apathy which is destructive to the material or social advancement of men or nations

that 1t would not contract any debt

Cuban revenues, and that 1t would
continue 10 carry out the plans for

OF the United States TO see thai the

pledges that have been made. How
TAR this country can exercise it's prp-
iecforate In the matter Of supervising

but the feeling In Official circles is
that the Cuban administration ought
to be firmly established upon n stable
basis before IT is allowed TO stan1

Cuban government is the task Of kee,

to be exercised There is a fear that

which has been inaugurated will be
crippled. and that the inaugurated

Family Of Four
Killed By Gas.

HARTFORD, II Conn, Jan. 10.--One
family was asphyxiated by gas this
morning and two other families-six-
teen persons in all-had narrow
escapes. They lived In Joseph Kings
house at NO. IS New Park avenue.
The deau are: Anton c. Shaves. aged
80; HIS wife. 81; his son Joseph, 2, and
Mary Devida, Is.
Miss Devida had been living In West
Hartford and came here few days
ago to prepare for her wedding, which
was to have occurred In few weeks.
Other families In the house were those
OF Joseph King, the owner and James
Ray.
The Shaves family had three rooms
on the top floor. While Miss Deviua
was there Mr.. and Mrs. Shaves and
their child slept together and their
guest slept on lounge In the sitting
room. They retired last night in ex-
cellent spirits. Toward morning Mr..
Rays little girl awoke crying from
nausea. Soon after the King family
was aroused and the odor OF gas was
detected. A doctor was summoned.
Meanwhile Mr. King went to see
about the Shaves family. Not daring
to carry lamp, he stumbled over
Shaves' dead body near the bedroom
door where he had fallen In trying u
get air His wife was dead In the bed
with the child gasping Its last in her
arms, and Miss Devida was dead on the
lounge. The rooms were fuli OF gas.
So far as can be learned now, ths
gas came from defective pipe in the
cellar The Snaves family did not uss
gas. 1t Is Inougnt that the gas made
its way zap the back stairs from ths
first floor. Medical Examiner Fuller
insists on thorough investigation ~
he believes the Hartford Gas light
company is making q very dangerous

Washington, Jan. 9.-Upon the re-
ceipt Of full report OF the elections,
the military governor of Cuba Will
announce the dates for the assembling
OF Congress and for the proclamation
OF the President and Vice-President,
and for the formal transfer of the
government of the island 70 the gov
ernment to be established.
Now that the elections have been
held In Cuba. the above paragraph
from the order issued by Gen. Wood
In Havana last October, would seem
to bring close at hand the day when
the American flag will be hauled
down from Cuban soil. As \ matter
of fact, the transfer thus arranged
for Is still distant. Free and indie
pendent Cuba is still a E,at-er of The
future.
The whole qu sstioa has been very
thoroughly canvasssJ at the War De
partment, and while there has not
been and will not be any ofileial an
nouncement of delay. the fact remains
that there will be dilatory proceedings
at every stage. Gen Wood is to do
nothing to hasten the full report OF
the elections" and even when the ia
formation has been submitted to him.
he will take considerable time be-
fore announcing the date when the
formal transfer of the government
will occur. According 10 the present
program. he will not even take the re-
sponsibility OF fixing this date. but
will refer the whole matter to the au-
thorities here. When In due course oil
time, he has communicated to the War
Department, there win be no haste In
complying with the terms OF hss
order. In fact. nothing viii be done
/ toward communicating the transfer
until this government Ia thoroughly
satisfied that the Cuban regime can
be safely intrusted with power.
