ALA}kA h[W5 AT WASHINGTON. EDWARDS
 WRITES Of Recent legislation For The District and the Outlook for Changes in the
 Future.

1902. Alaska PRospECToR. Valdez. Alaska.-A several days stay in Washington in and about the Cap itol and the various departments. convinccs one that Congress has at last awakened to the fact that Alaska deserves some legislation. There are several bills pending affecting the District.
 On June Both, last, an amend ment to the Code passed both houses with slight differences. This bill is practically certain to bass and receive the Presidents sigma ture during this short session.
 IL provides first:-A technical change in the forms of pleading in equity practice.
 Second:-An amendment to the divorce laws allowing a plaintiff who has resided in ihe District. one year to bring suit for divorce upon the groands already provided.
 Third:-A complete definition of the powers of municipal corpora tions, greatly cnlarging their tax ing power and providing that all the revenues collected by the Gov Crnmen, under the present license law shall be paid to the treasurer of the municipal council for the benefit of the school fund and the corporation.
 Fourth:--An ample private in- corporation act. After going to conference committee this bill will become law. almost as matter oi course.
 \ bill has been introduced pro viding for the election of dele gate for Alaska. The objection raised to this is the great expense of election. Inc tassage of iLis bill at this s' sSioh IS Gou biful.
 Commissioner Herman, of the Land office, has approved d pro- posed amendment to he land laws allowing he inmed.a occupancy of d homestead of 320 acres and requiring five years residence to obtain title. If a the end of five years residence, the government, has not extended its surveys to the Y cinity oi the land to which title Is sought, the s,t Ter may then have a special survey made and re- eeiye a.en'. It is probable that this land law will pass this session of congress.
 There is also bill pending that the government furnish each of the canneries a certain number of sal mon spawn each season, which the canneries must place in the streams whence their fish are taken.
 Mir. Hoggett, of Nome, Mir. Ivey and our own George Esterly are  doing good work here in behalf of Alaska. 1 find that Valdez has been well advertised and the fact is now quite generally known that Valdez is the future metropolis of the District.

DR.. VAN DYKE PLEAD
FOR OLD-FASHIONED WAY

Cambridge, Mass, June 14.-Rev. DR..
Henry Van Dyke of New York preach
ed the baccalaureate sermon to the
graduates of Harvard University this
afternoon. Appleton chapel was crowd
ed and the speakers words were listen
ed to with keen interest.
He took for his theme THE Good
Old Way" After advising his hearers
to take heed of the close of life of the
pleasure or money seeker, he said:
Inquire and learn; consider and
discern. There need be no doubt about
the direction of life's various ways
Which are the nations that have been
most peaceful and noble and truly
prosperous? Those that have followed
pride and luxury and idolatry or those
that have cherished sobriety and JUS
tice, and acknowledged the divine law
of Righteousness?
(Which are the families that have
been most serene and pure and truly
fortunate? Those in which there is
no discipline or restraint, no common
faith, no mutual love, or those in
which sincere religion has swayed life

which parents and children have walk

knelt together at His altar and re-
Joiced together in His service?
Il tell you, my brother men, it has
become too much the fashion in these
days to sheer and jeer at the old
fashioned ways of the old-fashioned
American household. Something too
much of iron there may have been in
the Puritan's temper; something too
little of sunlight may have come in
through the narrow windows of his
house, but that house had foundations,
and the virtues lived in it. There were
plenty of red corpuscles in his blood,
and his heart beat in time with the
eternal laws OF right, even though its
pulsations sometimes seemed a little
slow and heavy.
1T would be well for us if we could
get back into the old way, which
proved itself to be the good way. and
maintain, as our fathers did, the sane
tity of the family, the sacredness of
the marriage vow, the solemnity of
the mutual duties binding parents and
children together. From the house,
holds that followed this way have
come men that could rule themselves
as we'll as their fellows, women that
could be trusted as we'll as admired.
Read the history of such families and

control;

VIENNA HEARS, TOO,
OF PRINCE PETERS STAND,

Vienna, June Alt is believed here
that Prince Peter Karageorgevitch will
find himself confronted with a hard
task if elected King of Servia He
has spent his life abroad and has lit
tie knowledge of the Servian people;
further, he will have no party behind
him. The Radicals never sincerely sup
ported any Servian monarch, and when
the excitement has cooled down it is
not unlikely that they will prove rest
less.
There is a rumor here late tonight
that Prince Peter insists that all the
officers concerned in the murders must
leave Belgrade before he enters the
city, and that the leader of the Servian
radicals, NJ. Raditch, has gone to Ge-
neva to negotiate with Prince Peter
concerning the conditions that the lat
ter places on his acceptance of the
Servian throne.

Jonas STORED ISLE.

From the New York Mail and Express.
If the Duke of Argyll has really sold
the Island of Iona to the Carthusian
monks, banished from France, and
famed in this part of the world solely
for their manufacture of the lquer
known as Chartreuse, he has MADE
merchandise of one of the most sacred
spots in Celtic history, and OF the re-
puted burial place of eight Scot
fish, four Irish and eight Morse mon
archs, besides the monuments ana
relics of one of the earliest and most
successful of the Christian missions in
Britain. Iona was a sacred spot-the
'1sland of the Druids'-for centuries
before st. COLUMBIA. From 1t as van
tage ground, Columbia, the Irish monk
and missionary, in the sixth century
converted Northern Scotland to the
Christian faith; and it became the site
of a monastery which was itself the
parent of many cathedrals and insti-
buttons of learning.
Monklsh in it's known history, when
Iona was last in the hands of men OF
the Roman church it belonged to the
Benedictines; and as these religious or
the French nationality are now also
wanderers on the face Of the earth,
there would have been greater proprie-
ty in it's return to their possession than
in it's acquisition by their rivals in hol-
mess and in the liquer business, the
Carthusians. But Iona has long since
separated wholly from the monastlc
connection. Its two or three hundred
inhabitants are good Presbyterians, in
the usual Scotch mixture of people OF
the Kirk and those of the Free Kirk.
They till in an entirely peaceful way
their poor little fields, on which they
pay their quarterly tribute to Mac
alrtRA ii
but cultivating no literature with 1t so
far as is known Tourists who come
to see the wonderful panorama of the
ocean, the promontory of Null, Stafa,
Jura and the mountains Of Skye, and in
Johnson's phrase, to feel their piety
grow warmer amid the islands storied
ruins, are taken proper and natural
advantage of. But there remains of the
political the religious and the scholarly
grandeur of Icolmkill, the Rest of Co
lumba, nothing but the legend.
In Asia 1t would be the shrine of
many pilgrims worship, and would
possess a character so sacred that no
one would venture to make it sub
ject of barter and sale. In Britain,
however, the past, and especially the
mystical past, is no longer sacred.
Stonehenge itself is private property,
and it took much protest, not long ago,
to prevent it's owner from putting a
barbed wire fence around it. 1t is
likely that the sacred relics of Iona
will be rather safer on the whole in
the hands of the Carthusian monks
than they are in those Of the bookish
but thrifty Duke of Argyll. AS to the
handful of crofters on the isle, 1t is
presumable that the monks will have
use for them, too. They may take
: their part in adding new and alluring
liquid to the affluent list of Scotch
drinks and in making the list of Brit
ish cordials consist of two representa-
tives, instead of a single one.
1T has been estimated that the
Weather Bureau warnings effected a
saving of 100000 worth of perishable
freight in the February cold wave.
