GUNNER'S UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE
Had Bath in Cod Water and Got STUCK
in Mud.

L. p. Pusey had rather an unDleas-
ant experience while. cunning for rail
birds on a marsh near Newport yester-
day.
Together with George Moore they
were pushing across the marsh, when
the pole used by Mr.. Pusey became
fastened in the mud. The boat was
moving swiftly away and in a frantic
effort to dislodge it, his balance was
lost and he plunged into the cold water
head FIRST. He sank into the mud to
his armpits and it required the hardest
effort for Mr. Moore to extricate him
from his unpleasant position. They got
fifty-four rail on the one tide.

TO VISIT ALASKA
MANY CONORESSMEN PLAN TO
90 THIS SUMMER.
Among Them will BE Representa-
tive Cannon, Who Is TO Be Next
Speaker of the House, and Sena-
tor Dietrich, of tn Public Lands
Committee.

4. Washington, March 2S.-The slowly
increasing interest in Alaska affairs
appears in the fact that several SEN
ators and members of congress will
visit the territory during the coming
summer. Not only will a sub-commit-
tee of the senate committee on terri
tories go to Alaska, but a number of
other statesmen will make journeys
to the North on their own account,
partly for pleasure, for they have
learned that there is something really
worth seeing there, and partly for
the purpose of informing themselves
as to the needs of the territory.
The Philippine question has ceased
to be burning issue, and there is,
moreover, no lack of information about
our possessions in, that part of the
world. Many senators and represen.
tatives are really awaking to the fact
that there is an appalling lack of
knowledge regarding the conditions in
the far North. Some of them are open
to conviction, and want to know more.
When they get back they will be able
to speak with authority, and to speak
with authority on a subject regarding
which the rank and file are unfamil.
lar is always pleasant.
Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska, is one
of those who will visit Alaska next
summer. Mr.. Dietrich, in this connec-
ton, has proved himself to be rare
man. He has conceived the notion,
so uncommon among senators and
members of congress, that there is
really something to see in Alaska far.
Their north than Juneau or Sitka or
Valdez. Mr.. Dietrich is going to see
the whole country. With his daugh,
ter he proposes to go to Valdez, Sitka
and Juneau, and thence to Skagway;
from there to Dawson, and then down
the river to st. Michael; over to
Nome; thence on the revenue cutter
Bear to Point Barrow. So far as
known, no national legislator has ever
been as far north as Point Barrow, at
least during his term of Office.
Senator Dietrich is a member of
the senate committee on public lands.
and while he is in Southern Alaska
he wants to find out something about
the capabilities of the soil and the
outlook for settlement. He knows how
to talk, and when he gets back he will
probably do some talking in the sen.
ate and to his fellow statesmen in the
cloak rooms and committee rooms
about his trip.
Representative Cannon, Of Illinois,
who is to be speaker of the next house,
is going to Seattle in the summer, and
he will almost certainly visit Alaska.
Of course, he will learn a great deal
about that territory that he did not
know before, and the result cannot be
otherwise than beneficial.

Mr.. Fairbanks early life was spent
in Rochester, N. Y, where he was

Chicago at an early age and became
interested in the manufacture OF soap
and lard and acquired considerable
fortune. Later he became largely in
terested in mining in Southern Ari-
IONA, on the borders of Mexico, where
the well-known town of Fairbanks was
named for him. He became a multi

lost heavily some years ago. In later
years he recouped his fortune and at
the time of his death was considered
man of large wealth. Mr. Fair
banks was also president OIL the Chi
cago Board of Trade.

ercpETARY SHAW ISSUES A CIR
CULAR.
o,e Hundred Millions OF the Issue
of 1908 and the Four Per Cent
Loan of 1907 to Be Called in
and Exchanged for the New Two
Per Cents.

washington, March 2S.-The secre-
.orv of the treasury today published a
rircular announcing that on and after
,nril l. 1903, he will receive for re-
ending under authority of section 2
of the act of March IA, 1900, to an
amount not exceeding $100,00O,0OO,
honds of the per cent. loan of 1908
ond the 4 per cent. funded loan Of
1907 They may be surrendered at
nrices Welding to the investor an in
come of "a per cent. per annum, and
rho new twos will be issued in ex-
change at premium of 2 per cent.
Accrued interest on both old and new
bonds will be calculated to date of ex-
change.
There are now outstanding about
$4,000, 900 of 8 per cent. bonds and
s939 OOOO tours of 1907 which are
affected by the circular issued today.
There are also outstanding about $446,-
100000 of the per cent. consols Of
1890. issued under the act of March
"a. 1900. These per cent. bonds were
issued in 1Sv0 at par, under provisions
of the refunding act. If the new bonds
were to be issued at par there would
he a profit to the owners of the bonds,
taking the present market valuation
as a basis, of about per cent. on the
threes surrendered and about 51a per
cent on the tours of 1907. The secre-
tary desires to obtain an equitable
share of this profit for the govern
ment, which is the reason for charg-
ing premium of per cent. upon the
new bonds to be issued.
The circular will contain full par
ticulars for the guidance of those who
desire to avail themselves of the pro-
visions of refunding, and will be sent
to each recorded owner Of registered
bonds of the two loans in question.
The per cent. bonds Of 1904 will not
be received for refunding under this
circular, but will be reserved for re-
demption. They mature February 1,
1904.

TEXT OF LAND BILL.
1t Contains Many Important Fea-
lures Hitherto Unpublished.

London, March 28.-The text of the
Irish land purchase bill, which was in
troduced in the house of commons by
the Irish secretary, Mr.. Wyndham, on
Wednesday last, was given out today.
1t occupies thirty-nine pages of par
liamentary paper and bristles with
technicalities. The full wording re-
veals many important features which
were not mentioned in Mr.. Wyndham's
speech when the bill was introduced.
All arrears of rent due at the time of
the purchase of land are recoverable
by the land commission, and not the
arrears for a year only, as previously
cabled. The land commissioners, how
ever, are given power in special cases
to remit part or all of the arrears.
The commissioners are not permit
ted to purchase estates which are not
mainly agricultural or pastoral. Thus
Killarney is exempt under this clause.
In cases of untenanted estates pur-
chased by the commissioners they are
empowered to inspect the necessary
work of improvement, which tremen-
dously enlarges the scope of the COM
missions expenditure. The commits
sion is empowered to declare subten-
ants to be the tenants of any holding
by them. which will vastly benefit
hundreds. Fishing, shooting and min
eral rights, which are among the most
controversial, will be vested in the
commission when an estate Is pur-
chased and can be disposed of as the
commissioners decide. The commits
sioners are also empowered to deter
mine boundary and other disputes be-
tween the proprietors of holdings un-
der the bill. The commission has the
first claim to purchase bankrupt es-
tates and can resell them to tenants
or use portions Of them for the re-
patriation of evicted tenants. The lat
ter point is regarded as being one of
the most vital features of the bill.

Bishop spaIding on strikes.

Peoria, Ills, March 30.-Bishop
Spalding, who has just returned from
his labors on the anthracite commits
sion, in an interview in this city. gave
it as his opinion that the period of
strikes in the United States has passed
forever, and that arbitration will be
used to settle all disputes between cap
ital and labor in the future. The bish-
op thinks that the precedent establish
ed by the commission will do much to
bring about this state of affairs.
