SAYS SLAVERY EXISTS
IN ALEUTIAN ISLANDS
General Agent of Educational Bureau
Wants TO Know How TO Treat
the Evil

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. - Dr.
Sheldon Jackson, general agent of the
Bureau of Education, to-day received
a letter from William E. Davis. SUI
perintendent of public schools at Una
laska, Aleutian Islands, saying that
slavery exists among the population
in the islands.
In his letter Davis says that slavery
has existed in the islands from time
inmemorial and that it is still gen.
eral. He gives number of instances
of orphans and waits being held as
slaves and, says he has been unable to
make the owners give up their prop
erty." He asks for instructions as to
how to deal with the conditions.
Jackson said to-day that he had
known for some time that slavery ex-
listed in the Aleutian Islands and that
Governor Brady of Alaska had some
time ago taken steps to remedy the
evil. He said the principal offending
slave owners were not Aleutians, but
Americans and foreigners who had
married Aleutian women and among
whom the possession of slaves was
considered mark of wealth.

PUBLIC EMPLOYEES
THREATEN TO STRIKE
Arms Because Their Holidays
Are Curtailed

ROME, Dec. 19.--The clerks in the
Ministry of Public Works engaged in
demonstration to-day which threat
ened to develop into a riot or a strike
and required the intervention of the
Minister and Under Secretary before
the clerks were pacified. The dis
turbance was due to the fact that a
bill affecting the interests of the clerks
in the Ministry of Public Works was
discussed in the Chamber of Depu-
ties and the agitation among those
clerks began spreading among
clerks employed in other minis
tries. 1t was pointed out to the
clerks that the bill was not discussed
because the Government could not
keep the Deputies in Rome. Parlia-
ment only opened about three weeks
ago, but the Deputies insist that they
must have their Christmas holidays.

the world, every year, thousands of chill
sdren who have no idea, at least, no prac-

gives some examples Of the Out-Of-school-

are not exaggerated. The defect, appar-

press upon the children of the schools the
Importance and the necessity of carrying
the best English acquired in the school

The idea of the children seems to be
that 1t Is perfectly legitimate to drop cor

In making such breaks, however, tho

Senator Fairbanks Speech.

Following the cornmendable custom OF
having some man of national 1ane anu
distinction deliver an address at the open
dns. Of the Minnesota state fair, Senator
Charles Warren Fairbanks Of Indiana was
chosen to make the address this year.
Senator Fairbanks address viii be round
Elsewhere to-day, and those who read IL
will pronounce it an able, well-oalanceo'
dignified deliverance-one calculated 70
make a deep impression on Its AUDITORS
and turn their attention to those We1ghty
,,rob1eros which must be the common con-
Germ Of all men in a republic, II that re-
public Is to realize Its possibilities.
On such occasions as the present, the
sneaker must necessarily steer a care1ul
course lest he be accused OF part1sanshlp
or improperly. This necessity prevents OF
course, that emphasis which SO often Is the
main strength of public addresses. Yet
Senator Fairbanks took a strong position
regarding the economic problems or the
day, and that will command pubic
sympathy In this part OF the country
where we have long since got over the
idea that the great combinations OF capt.
tai can be safely permitted to run the1r
course and create their own reasonable
limitations.
. Of COURSE. as chairman Of the American
side Of the nigh joint commission, 1t was
sxnected that Senator Fairbanks would
have something to say with reference TO
reciprocity with Canada. Here his Of
fetal position interposed obstacles to free
speech, but he said enough to indicate that
he appreciates tho wisdom Of bettering
the tariff relations between the two coun-
tries, his words on this subject being: ~
And the United States and Canada
should dwell in international good fellow
ship. They must work out their destiny
side by side. Their peoples are largely OF
the same blood with kindred aspirations.
They owe allegiance to different haSs. YET
their lines Of commerce cross ana recross
a. common frontier. The people OF the
two countries are at many points brought
into continual contact, and their social and
commercial interests tend to ever closer
relations We indulge the confident hope
that they may find mutual strength in the
cultivation of more Intimate commercla
and social intercourse. -4

ful fleets would be assembled. Let us hope
that there will never be need Of fortlf1ca-
tions upon the land frontier nor of formi-
dable fleets upon the great lakes, to pro-
tect them against each other.
Senator Fairbanks probably understands
that there is no better guarantee Of peace
between national neighbors than mutually
profitable and satisfactory trade. Reel.
procity will give us that relation with
Canada, and, therefore, enduring peace. .
