EDITORIAL NOTES.
Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.

Tom Johnson can now mediate
'on the folly of counting votes by the
number who come to the free circus.
With the aid of Tammany and
race prejudice the democrats sue
Ceeded i'll carrying New York City
and Maryland.
No doubt Johnson is very grateful
for Bryan's moral support in Ohio
and so ought to be Senator Hanna.
Two hundred sailors from the
navy were recently served refresh
ments in the state dining room at
the White house. There were five
negroes among them. Had German
been president, he would have re-
quested these negro seamen to eat
in the kitchen.
In the last election, the Socialist
vote in Massachusetts, their Ban
ner State, fell from 80, 629 last year
to about %, 600.
German is after the democratic
nomination next year, but if he gets
it, he will be wise enough not to re-
sign his seat in the senate until he
knows the result of the election.
There is much talk of General
Nelson A. Miles as McClellan's choice
for head of the New York police.
Would the general consent to taking
q position similar to that formerly
held by Devery?
In the national house of repre-
sen tatives there are 236 lawyers, 63
business men and II farmers; in the
senate there are 81 lawyers, Is bus
mess men and farmers. There are
only 81 foreign born legislators in
both houses.
Chamberlain is likely to deal a
death blow to free trade in England.

Senatorial GOurm cts.

A party of tourists visited the senate
restaurant at Washington. They
peered about in every corner.
$50 this is the place where the SEN
ators eat their epicurean feasts, is it?''
asked a lady with gray ringlets and a
determined cast Of countenance.
"Yes, ma'am," the guard replied.
Precisely at that moment a waiter
gave an order for the two senators
from Michigan.
He said: Senator Burrows wants
a maple and a glass of milk and Sen.
ator Alger wants a dish of tapicoa
pudding. "-Saturday Evening Post

college, Pennsylvania, have been
suspended for stoning the college
president, who interfered with
their night-dress parade in celebra-
ton of football victory.
Some Prussian officers expert
menting with a war balloon were
carried across the frontier into
France. When they landed they
were advised to change their uni
forms for civilian dress before taking
the train back to Germany. After
buying ready-made suits they pur-
sued their journey without modest
alton. This incident illustrates the
feeling which exists between France
and Germany after a war of more
than thirty years ago.
Bryan had promised to make his
friend Bennett ambassador to Eng
land when he was elected president.
AS Bennett never got the position,
Bryan should not get the $50. 900
alleged to have been left him IN an
appendix to Benefits will.
The value of the patronage to be
distributed by Mayor-elect Mcclellan
amounts to about $4,000, 900. All
of it will go to Tammany.
IF you don't tip the porter at your
hotel be sure he does not mark your
trunk with a circle in chalk. That
means you are a tight lister" and
the porters throughout the country
will do all they can to delay your
baggage.
Panama, the lilliputian republic of
South America, knows that she will
be safe if she can get the protection
Of the United States.
District Attorney Jerome has de-
clared that in spite of Tammany,
New York is not to be an open town.
He threatens to appeal for private
funds for enforcing the law.
Hanna has not yet finished with
Tom Johnson. A bill will be passed
by the Ohio legislature which will
take the patronage of Cleveland
from Mayor Johnson. After that
the democratic champion will have
nothing left but his automobile and
circus tent.
Mr.. Bryan justified his unsuccess-
full attempts to get $4,000 on the
Bennett will on the ground that he
owes it to his dead friend to see that
his dearest wishes are carried out.
When the democrats attempt to
make political capital out Of the
postal frauds they should be remind
ed that August w. Machen, the
CRATER Of them all, is demo
GRAFT and voted against Hanna. He
said, eff the democrats nominate
Olney and German they will sweep
the East from under Roosevelt"
Unless German wishes to lose a
supporter he must be careful how
he talks of postal frauds.

Christianity in China.

Five years ago the vast inland
Chinese province of Human was closed
to all foreigners and in an attitude OF
overt and aggressive hostility to the
Christian religion. 1t was from Hun
an that in 1891, stream of infamous
placards and literature issued which
infamed the whole province and led to
the riots and massacreS that soon aft
er occurred in the Yang-tse valley. A
marvellous change in the situation is
apparent today. In letter written
early in July, Rev. l.. Bryde Of the
church of England missionary society,
tells of thirteen missions now peaceful
ly working in Human, having a force
Of rather more than fifty missionaries,
thirty of whom had recently met for
conference in Chanrsa.

CuShman's Bill Shot All
 to Pieces.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Thc Senate Committee on Territories today report ed Cushman's Alaskan delegate bill with amendments beginning at the first line and running to the end. All of the House provisions are stricken out and provision is made for commission CT from Alaska, who is to be appointed by commission consisting of the Gov eanor SurveyOr-General and three Fed eral Judges. It is provided that the commissioner shall not be related to any of the appointing commissioners. The commissioner from Alaska is to have the same privileges as the dele gates from the territories, the most valuable of which is the right to speak on the floor of the House. As the Sen ate amendment is so radically different from the House bill it is q question whether the differences can be adjust ed before the adjournment of congress.

HIS TITLE:
Nearly Lost by Young
 COrbett.

san Francisco, Feb. 27. Young Cor bett, the feather-weigh boxing cham piOn of the world. barely retained his title last night after twenty rounds ot desperate fighting with Eddie Hanlor in Mechanics Pavilion. Referee Grancys decision that the fight was a draw seemed to displease the admirers of each boxer.
 From the start Corbett outboXed Han lon, but never for q moment seemed able to put him out, but on two occa sions Hanlon had his opponent at his mercy and seemed about to score de- Cisive victory. In the tenth round Hanlon had Corbett helpless and show cred rights and lefts to his defenseless head. Hanlon tried all he knew. but the Denver man lasted long enough for the gong to save him.
 In the eleventh it was anybody's fight. Toward the end of the round Corbett s defense was gone, but Hanlon lacked either the strength or the skill to finish his man.

A VISIT TO CHENA h ank Shaw Says Strike
 Is Genuine. RM EXPERT OPINION Some GOO or 700 People in That Section and More On
 the Trails.
AN EXPERT OPINION

The Cinema gold diggings. according to>the statement made by Frank shaw Council City manager for the Wild Goose Mining & Trading O., promise to become important.
 Mr. Shaw reached Nome from Coun- gil Thursday. He left seattle on Feb B in company with Edwin EngelStad the we'll known pioneer. They made .he trip overland by way of the Yukon, stopping en route at Dawson. Cinema and Rampant.
 Speaking of the Cinema strike Mr. Shaw said to a NUGGET representative that he believed that good camp would grow up on the Tanana. He vis- tied some of the creeks on the Cinema, and did some banning on number of claims which was entirely satisfactory. Pedro and Gold stream are promising grsefs, and the entire country seems to be'Gold bearing. Alr. Shaw is practi- cal miner and therefore his opinion is entitled to great deal of weight. h fact he is favorably impressed with al most the entire Yukon valley as q min ing region of great promise.
 On the Panama there were. when Mir. Shaw visited that section some 600 or 700 persons. The towns of Fairbanks and Chena have been referred to here .ofore in these columns. The residents of each claim that each is the head of steamboat navigation on the Panama. At any rate it is claimed by both that Yukon river steamers can reach either place. Mr. Shaw took number of photographs of the Cinema camps and they show, in measure, the work of building towns and the scenes of activ- ity on the creeks.
 A lively stampede Was on from Daw- son and other Yukon river points.
 Glen gulch. across the divide from Rampant on the Panama side. is show ing up well and some rich dirt has been uncovered.
 In regard to the operations which WNl be carried on by the Wild Goose Co. in this section this season Mir. Shaw stated that mining work will be prose- cuted on large scale. Mr. C. D. Lane will arrive on an early steamer, and so will his sch Louis.
 From another source it IS learned Shat number of hydraulic lifts will be brought in this spring for Ophir and perhaps other creeks. The big ditch on Ophir will be completed this spring and, therefore, the output this year of Ophir will undoubtedly be the largest in is History.

TRADE or
 ALASKA Greater and More Val. uable Than Presumed  CoNNlMClNG FACTS EnOrE,Ous Balance of Domestic Commerce in Favor of
 Territory.
C0NvlNCING FACTS

Washington. Feb. 13.-Prior to the opening of the current fiscal year the government kept no systematic record of the domestic commerce of Alaska. It was recognized by well-informed per sons that this trade of the far northern territory with other parts of the United States was large and valuable. but TO attempt was made to collect the figures for publication by any single depart ment of the government. The treasury department has now completed the rec ord of the Alaska trade for the first six months of the current fiscal period that is, for the last half of the calendar year 1902. The result is fine showing for the great resources and the active development of the territory.
 The grand total of commerce passing between Alaska ports and ports in other parts of the United States during the six months of 1902 was BPS, 72O, ,S94. This, of course, takes no account of the for eign trade of the territory, which is larger than many persons suppose. The treasury departments record, just is- sued, gives the foreign trade of Alaska in the six months ended December 3l us S2,07l, ,764, the exports being Sl,573,- 537 and the imports S49S, ,227. This foreign commerce, added to the domes- tic trade, raises the total Alaska com merce to $50, 792,65S. The foreign trade was, of course, carried on chiefly with British Columbia ports.
 In the domestic commerce of Alaska, there was an enormous balance of trade in favor of the territory. The figures, in fact, are a convincing answer to the popular allegation that "more has been put into Alaska every year than has been taken out" The total value of merchandise and of gold and silver shipped from the United States to Alaska during the last six months of 1902 was $3,4l8,942. The total value of merchandise and of gold and silver shipped from Alaska to the United States during tue same period was s24,- 9SO, 1sS. The balance of domestic trade in favor cf the territory is, therefore, s2l, ,57O,24O.
 Some of the principal articles of mer- chandise, with the amounts thereof, carried into Alaska from other parts of
The Nome nugget., 1903-05-09

the United States during the last six months of 1902 were as follows: Ani- mals, S46, ,055; breadStutTs. $2l7.124; chemicals, drugs, etc., $63. 795: coal, $17.593; cotton manufactures, S79. 752; eggs, $97.3ll: fruits and nuts, SIPS. .30l; hay, $60,61l: iron and steel manufac- lures, S43l 693, this item including, of course good deal of mining machin- cry: provisions, $439, 575: malt liquors. $55.59 spirituous liquors, $96, S92; wine, SIG, ,294; sugar, molasses and con- fectionery, ST. .22l: tobacco, $l4S, l66; vegetable, $l93 599: wool and manufac- lures of, Sl94, SIS.
 A few of the principal article shipped from Alaska to other parts of the United copper. S52 96S; fertilizers, 8l6, Il3: cod haddock, etc., $222, S5l; other fish, $55,- 365: iron and steel and manufactures of, $69, 42S: whalebone, Sll5,994: manufac- lures of wood, Sl6322: other articles, s79, ,534. This list does not include all the articles of merchandise. To this record, also, must be added the ship ments of gold and silver amounting, in the six months under discussion, to BIO, 653, 2S6.
 American shipping interests have, of course, had a monopoly of the Alaska commerce. In December last there were twenty-nine vessels entered at Alaska ports, of which five were for elgn bottoms. Of the twenty-nine yes sels cleared from Alaska ports during the same month five were foreign.
