Nome Treasures Untouched.

THE gold ouput of the Nome district
fell somewhat short of our expectations
the last year" said Mr.. George Murphy,
of that famous Alaskan camp, at the aa-
leigh.
THE total did not reach over 81, ,5OJ, 900.
which was about the same as the yield
of the preceding season. ! am a practical
miner and am convinced that the district
about Nome hasn't been touched. The
beach, ii is true, has been cleaned; but
the creeks have scarcely commenced to
give up their stock of the precious metal
Nome had a population last summer
of about 5000 persons, but great many
of them leave during the winter months.
1t is a modern town, with paved streets
electric lights, and all the accessories of
civilization. The population is orderly,
and 30 per cent of it is of pure American
stock. | noticed not long since a sugges-
tion that the country should be put under
martial law.
This is entirely unnecessary, because
there is no turbulent or unruly element
At the same time, it is well to keep the
United States troops up there, in view OF
our isolated position and nearness to for
eign frontiers.
What Alaska really needs is a Terri
torial Delegate such as is accorded to
Hawaii, on account of the trouble and
expense OF private citizens who are forced
to come to Washington TO ask the help of
Congress In local matters"

LOWER DUTIES GRANTED.
Appeal of Importers of stntuHry Up
held by Circuit Court.

Marble statuary shown by proper GER
tificates to be the professional produc-
tion Of renowned sculptors in the coun-
try of production, is entitled to entry
under paragraph Asa, act of 1897, at q
per cent ad valorem." This is the deci-
sion of the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals for the Southern District OF
New York on an appeal of the United
States against the decision Of the lower
court. The attorney general advised the
Treasury Department that no further pro-
ceedings be directed in the case, the facts
in which are stated to be as follows:
"The merchandise in suit consisted of
marble statues. imported for sale as
cemetery statuary, and representing
Faith, Memory Record Angel,
Grief ETC., all of which were assessed
for duty as manufactures of marble at so
per cent ad valorem. The importers pro-
tested. claiming the merchandise to be
'statuary,' the professional production Of
sculptor or statuary, and properly duti-
able at 20 per cent ad valorem.
The evidence introduced in the case
showed that the sculptors who made the
statues and whose certificates were at
tached to the invoices were professional
sculptors Of standing at Carrara and had
made the statues from their own models.
'On this evidence the court affirmed the
decision of the Circuit Court below, hold
ing the statuary to be entitled to entry
at 20 per cent ad valorem, as claimed in
the importers protest"

ASHORE OFF SPARROWS POINT.
Steamer Augusta Grounds on n sand
Rar During a Fog.

BALTIMORE, Jan. TO- The York River
Line steamer Augusta, bound from Nor
folk TO Baltimore, went ashore in a dense
fog this morning at $50 o'clock while at
tempting to navigate the winding channel
off Sparrows Point. On board the vessel
were about forty passengers, who were
taken off at l o'clock today and brought to
Baltimore on the tug Britannia.
When Captain Bennett, master of the
Augusta, found that the vessel could not
be got back into the channel under her
own steam he lowered boat. and, with
the mate, rowed to Sparrows Point and
telephoncd to Baltimore. Arrangements
were at once made to bring the passen-
gers to the city on n tug.
The Augusta is ashore on the north side
OF the channel. Navigation is almost at
standsiill on account of the heavy
blanket of fog which hangs over the bay.
The Hamburg steamer Brisgavia. the
steamer Itasca, from Savannah, and the
steamer Howard, from Boston, are in the
bay. They are supposed to be at anchor.

MR.. McCREARY'S TRIUMPH.
Coming Kentucky Senator a Great
Friend of the District.

| The result OF the Democratic caucus al
Frankfort, KY, Thursday, at which ex-
| Gov. James B. McCreary was unanimously
| chosen as the Democratic nominee for
election as successor to United States
senator Deboe, was not surprise to the
many friends Of the Ex-Governor in this
city. in fact. his nomination has been
freely predicted ever since he announced
his candidacy, but it was believed he
would have something of contest. How
ever, he proved to be such a favorite
that there was no field against him, Rep
resentatiyes Wheeler and Smith with
drawing from the race.
The man who is to be Kentucky's new
Senator has served six consecutive terms
in the House of Representatives He has
always taken most lively interest in
District affairs, and was always counted
en- to advocate improvements of the M
uonal Capital. 1t goes without saying
that as United States Senator, ex-Gov-
ernor McCreary will be found among the
Senators who believe that Congress
should make Washington the most beat
tiful National Capital in the world.
During the stormy days in Frankfort
Mr.. McCreary showed great coolness and
judgment. He was an adviser o. the late
Governor Gocbel, and did much to bring
order out of the chaos into which Ken
lucky was plunged by the assassination,
of that official.

Developing the Carnegie Idea.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie may well feel
satisfied with the progress of the in
stitution bearing his name-the insti-
tuition which will solidify in this city
the progressive elements of practical
education and make the National Cap
ital the governmental alma mater.
The men who have been selected to
forward the Carnegie Institution are
representative, known to be deeply
interested in the cause of popular
knowledge, which is the foundation
stone of our liberties. and their geo
graphical distributions has been so ar
ranged that every section of the eoun-
try must warm toward the work.
Being broad-minded, appreciative of
the special advantages TO be found in
Washington and the splendid facilities
to be co-ordinated under an intelli,
gent system, it is expected that the
trustees will at their first meeting
outline plan both comprehensive
and satisfactory.
When Mr.. Carnegie offered to set
aside from his millions the fortune
of king, and devote it to the enlight-
enment of the conspicuous minds of
the rising generation, he served the
highest patriotism. Mr.. Carnegie
knows that knowledge is power. and
that in the dissemination of intelli-
gence throughout the American body
polite he will serve his country in the
best manner possible.
The United States has won a high
place in the affairs of the world, but
is going higher as her sons increase
in wisdom. Mr.. Carnegie intends to
help them to drink freely at that
magic spring whose waters are tonic
to mental conception and n stimulant
to honest ambition.
The trustees of the ironmaster's
mammoth institution appreciate his
hopes and aims, and it may be expect
ed that what they do will be done IN
the spirit of Washington and that
of Carnegie.

will harmonic with the creates
buildings of the Capital and help t,
produce in the Northeast that sym
metry of municipal design at which
the idealists are aiming in their la.
bors for the new Washington.
The only regrettable feature of the
station enterprise is, of course, the
radical changes in some business com
munities and the alteration of real
estate values in certain sections to be
caused by the concentration of rail
way facilities. But these features are
inseparable from the task of remodel
ing portions of great city.
The correction OF mistakes made in
the city development of the past, OF
inconvenience caused by unexpected
growth in certain directions, must
ever entail losses upon somebody.
Yet it would scarcely be reasonable
to halt monster municipal enter
prise because a few citizens were af-
fected detrimentally thereby.
In all great and growing municipal
tiles changes occur that shift busi-
ness from one community to another,
and that affect surrounding property.
The municipal authorities where
these changes are artificial must con-
slider the equities of the situation and
act accordingly. We do not believe
that this feature of the matter will
be overlooked in Washington.

Gern;any's spinsters.

Statistics collected by the National
Council of Women go to show that woni-

with almost as much emphasis as in the
United States. There are 100000 more
women in the Empire than men. There
are 100000 spinsters between the ages of
II and 30. the total number of women be-
tween those ages being 10000, ,Oo0. Most of
the spirsters are self-supporting. The
census OF 1895 showed 5.26i,4U3 wage
earners, "a per cent being engaged in
commerce. 1t is interesting that 2o2.ol6
women are put down as proprietors, man

Texas Wolves and Politics.

Guests of the Raleigh have looked won
deringly and admiringly at the magnificent
fur overcoat which envelops the tall form
OF Mr.. John Hotfer of Ballinger, Tex. Mr..
Hoifer, who is substantial stockman,

Times how he came to have the garment
which is warm enough for use in regions
much colder than Texas.
1T is made of the skins of four lobo
wolves" said he. This kind of wolf is as
big as Newfoundland dog and they exist
in large numbers in western Texas. 1t ia
the worst foe of the cattleman because
of its depredations on his young calves
The annual loss on this account is con-
siderable. and, of course, we never lose a
chance to decrease the wolf tribe. No dog
Is big enough or strong enough to tackle
'lobo,' and the only effective weapon
against him is Winchester rife.
Politically, the only subject of interest

successor to Hon. J. d. Sayers. My part
OF the State is unanimously for Col. S. w

tive chair at Austin. The people want

Reform the Electrical Service:

Since the police force OF communi-
ty stands between the honest and dis
honest elements of the social organi-
cation, it should be made most effec-
tive. In this the greatest-good-to-the
greatest-number maxim will be car
ried out, for, thanks be to regenera-
tive influences, the sinners are in q
minority.
Washington's police force is too
small. Major Sylvester has said so,
and recent criminal problems in the
District have proved it. The blue
coats have too much territory to
guard. Their limited number makes
it necessary to neglect some localities
at times. and it is likely that at just
these times their services viii be most
needed.
To some extent the insufficient size
OF the police department is supposed
TO be overcome by its telephone sys-
tenn. The object of that system is to
enable the guardians of the peace in
the outlying districts to summon aid
when needed, and to keep the entire
force in hourly touch with headquar-
ters.
1t has been demonstrated time and
again, however. that the existing po-
lice telephone system is not to be de-
pended upon. The mechanical equip
ment appears to be defective, and on
cred, the officer in the district was
unable to communicate with head
quarters. Not only this, but the fire
alarm box near the burning house
would not work.
This aggregate of failures to be
tailed against the District electrical
system, coupled with the fact that the
whole machinery has been more or
less defective for months, at once sug
gests the need of reform. According
to the news columns, the Electrical
Department resented the complaint
made by the chief of the police, and
replied to him in curt manner.
The popular notion-of the duty of
the Electrical Department is that il
should keep the lines of fire and police
communication open. They are both
emergency facilities, and, if they are
defective because of poor equipment
and not because of the neglect of
those in charge. then il is the duty of
the chief electrician TO call the atten-
ton of the District authorities and
the public to the matter.
TO allow either the patrol box or
the fire alarm system 20 become de-
moralized is suicidal The penalty
will be great local disaster if the
present condition of affairs is allowed
to prevail.
The safety of the Washington pub
lie depends upon immediate reform in
the electrical service.

has been made for many years; moreover,
