ALL AGAINST CHAMBERLAIN |
IN HIS PLAN TO PUT ENGLAND ON
PROTECTIVE TARIFF BASIS.
House Of Commons in an Uproar When
Question Came Up-All Freetraders
-Rumors That Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain Is to Ressn-BaIfour
Is Worried Over the Outcome,

London, June 1.-THE rumored
resignation of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain is the most startling de.
velopment of the proposal of the chan
cellor of the eXchequer, Mr.. Richie,
to abolish the corn tax, the debate on
which kept the house of commons
packed and spellbound until midnight.
Even if Premier Balfour persuades Mr..
Chamberlain to remain in the cabinet,
the colonial secretarys preferential
tariff program is hopelessly showed
under and his influence as a political
power in Great Britain at least tenn
porarily relapsed.
All members of the government who
contributed to the debate vigorously
declared themselves as free traders,
and frankly opposed Mr.. Chamber
lain's proposals. Except for Mr.. Chap
lin, not voice on either side was
raised in support of Mr.. Chamberlain's
campaign. Former members of cabi-
nets and private members, irrespective
of party, protested against any tinker
ing with Great Britain's financial pol
icy. The unionists voiced with the
traders -'0

He advises abandoning all the posts in Alaska, except at Haine's Mission.

jOR1 REPORTS

0Ije(t To Game Lav
Criminal Calendar Finished. The Trial Jury Discharged.
 Court News.

The grand jury turned in their final report Saturday. They have been in session since Oct. 26. and have turned in 22 indictments. The federal and municipal offices have been examined and the meth ods of conducting the same have been highly praised.
 A Commissioner and Deputy Marshal are recommended for In ga or sand Point. "n the Alaska Peninsula.
 Most oi the report < devoted te recommendations regarding some changes in the game laws. as fol- iows:
 Besides her many other resources and environments Alaska k great game country, and this fact is be- coming generally known, and sport-men are coming here from all parts of the world 70 hunt big game. We have in Alaska large herds of moose, caribou. sheep, goats and icathcred game in great variety. i This game constitutes a great food supply h prospecior-, miners. travellers and the natives ami resi- dents of the District. that will last for wears to come if properly pro tecicd. and we helicvc il is of far greater value to preserve it for their usc-the leople who are develop ing this great country-than to pro- tect it for sportSmcn who come from this anl other countries to kill it simply for the sport and the trophies they secure.
 It has been brought to the atten- tion of this grand jury that permits have i@eM issued from the office of the Secretary of Agriculture to kill game out of season. and also to kill more than the law allows. This, we believe, he has authority to do under the present law. but we believe it to be bad practice and detrimental to the protection of game in Alaska. Persons have come from his office to kill game under the pretense that they want ed specimens for scientific purposes. In some cases these statements were true, but in others they were false and thus secured through fraud and the trophies 70 secured were used for sole benefit of the persons securing the permits. There fore we believe that more care should he exercised in issuing per mits.
 We also understand that a cer- tain individual in the office of the Secretary of Agriculture, who has charge of the issuing of permits, has stated to a number of gentle men 'that the game laws for Alas ka were simply in an experimental  state and would not he eniorced." We know of no authority conferred upon anyone to set aside any laws passed by congress, and We con- delnn such statement as nIislead- ing and erroneous.
 We believe that the present game law is exceedingly liberal, especially to non-residents of Alaska, and that as long as it is law it should be rigidly enforced, and that those whose duty it is to enforce it be given every assistance and encour- agement possible in doing so. :.
 We believe that the pres ent law needs some changes and we make the following recommendations, to wit:
 That the game of Alaska be pro-
