ALASKAN DEVELOPMENT.

u-ho Hon Frederick w Stewards letter on
Alaskan railways, which we published on II
dnv. was richly freighted with prohtable sus
gestions concerning both the past ana tue prs
ont Men not vet old can remember how Mt.
Stewards father was ridiculed, criticised, even
lsmpooned, for the purchase of Alaska ohe oi
the commonest and least offensive remarks was
that he had annexed an iceberg. his behel
that the new territory would be q prohtaole
possession was scoffed at, and his references To
the possible development of extensive agrlcui'-
ural and other industrial interests there Pio
voked unbounded derision.
Yet splendidIy is time vindicating the WISDOM
of that bouored statesman in his performance
Of that act of expansion Alaska has, Oh
course. far more than paid for itself; and now 1t
is evident that its greatest wealth mas as YET
scarcely begun TO be developed One railroad
is already in profitable operation there, ana no
fewer than four more are projected and doubt
less soon TO be built. The practicabihty or
agriculture ON an extensive scale is universally
recognized and it is seen that the fruitful SOIL
and not inhosuitabe climate OF 'our Arcuc
proyinee" as men used to call il, are well suited
TO the maintenance of a numerous population OF
American citizens. Suitable land laws ana
other enabling legislation seem to be ali that
are needed for a development of Alaska into a
rich and ffourishing colony
So much for William Henry Stewards "ex-
pansion' 1t may perhaps occur to some that
later acts of expansion. which have been siml-
larly rallied at and condemned. may presently
be similarly vindicated. and that the TRADES of
abuse now poured out upon them and upon
their authors may before long appear when re-
called to memory. as i'll advised, as ignorant
and as unpatriotic as now, after the lapse of
generation appear the ratings against Seward
for 'annexing an iceberg"

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.

The simple announcement is made that an in
ternational conference On wireless telegraphy
viii be held in Berlin early in August Pre-
cisely how it is to be constituted and what will
be its exact scope are not yet known. To some
extent, though, one can guess at its aims. 1t is
hardly probable, for instance, that the theory
Of the art or the possibility of further improve
ment OF apparatus Will be extensively discussed.
Inventors prefer TO keep silent until their ideas
are protected by patents and have been tested
in secret; and for talk about the nature of Hertz
waves and the methods by which they are
propagated, the technical press is as good a
channel as any. No doubt the Berlin meeting
VIII deal rather with certain business phases Of
the new medium Of communication. Therein it
will follow precedents established by the old
telegraph and cable companies, which have
found agreement on numerous details necessary
Already there are a number of wireless tele-
graph companies in existence, which are doing,
or hoping soon to do, practical work The sim
plest way for them to reach an understanding
is TO hold general meeting like that which is
now proposed.
One of the most important questions to be
disposed of is that Of reciprocity between ships
at sea which are not equipped with instruments
OF the same kind, yet able to pick up each
others messages. At least five or six systems
have already had a sufficient trial to give prom
ise OF commercial success for limited distances.
Obviously, though, il vessel that is using
Smiths apparatus refuses TO listen TO messages

both sets of apparatus is limited Moreover

A GOOD BEGINNING.

Thousands of citizens who patronze the In
terurban Street Railway Company were pleased
to read yesterday that the company had de
cided to stop the complaints of passengers who
could not be transferred at intersections of the
roads by establishing additional transfer sta
tions. Between forty and fifty of these will be
added at various points within short time.
In its statement to the public announcing this
determination the company says that the action
was not prompted by the suits which have been
brought against it by citizens to test the pas
sengers right to be transferred, but because
there appears to be a general demand for trans
fers which the company is willing to satisfy. In
accepting this statement the public still has the
right to thank the West Side Citizens Commit
tee for making the fact clear TO the company
that there was such demand, and to give that
body credit for its persistent work in that di-
rection. The Interurban company probably
knows also that there is a general demand
for more cars in the hours which do not come
under the head of rush" and that the mo pas
senger" car is an eXasperating spectacle to the
man who is anxious to ride. 1t knows, I'M
doubtedly. also that open car in which peo-
pie are allowed to stand is far from comforta-
ble and that the "car ahead" practice is
tyranny and a nuisance.
If good citizens or citizens organizations will
keep these matters conspicuously before the
corporation, which has the power to give us
safe and convenient transit on its various lines;
if they will do as the West Side Citizens Com
mittee so long did in the matter Of the trans
fer system, till the Interurban Street Railway
Company, of its own accord, and not because
OF any pressure in the way of lawsuits, wipes
out the existing nuisances, We shall be glad to
give the corporation as much credit for the
healthful change as we do now for its action IN
the matter Of transfers.
