making "a satisfactory demonstration,
the federation will seek aid again from

Gustav Ohlsson Waited Too Long Afte
Wedding and Is Arrested.

Sometimes it isn't a joke for all parties
concerned when a festive good fellow
kisses a newly-made bride who doesn't be-
long to him, and Gustav II. Ohlsson. a
jolly good fellow, who lives at 407 Hope
street, st. Paul, with his wife and two
children. is wondering why people don t
believe it when he insists that no one
could get mad when he ''only kissed the
bride in fun
The bride in the case has been Mrs. Ed
win M. Nelson of $50 Minnehaha street,
st. Paul, for four months, and that is why
jolly young Ohlsson interrupted a church
social at 164 East Sixth street, Tuesday
evening by loudly srlacl<ing the Nelson
bride on her bright red lips.
Nelson beheld the scene, swOre Ven
geance and eventually swore out a war
rant.

Suppose that delegate bill passes and becomes a law, what good will it do further than to kick up big rumpus in Alaska and cause "weep- ing and wailing and gnashing of teeth" among the citizens-or at least that portion that doesn't get the delegate. Alaska is a big ter ritory. If southeastern Alaska gets the delegate, she's all right; if she doesen't get the delegate, she's all wrong, and vice versa. In our opinion Alaska should have two delegates or none, as the interests of the two sections are not identi- cal and no one man can represent the whole district in a manner that would prove satisfactory to the peo- pie.

LOOKS LIKE DEFEAT.

Under date of Feby. 18th, the Washington correspondent of the P.-I. telegraphs; Both the Alaska homestead bill and the Alaska del egate bill are in grave danger. un- less substantial concessions are made by persons who are opposed to certain features in hoth meas ures. Representative Lacy, chair man of the house committee on public lands, declares he will defeat the homestead bill unless the senate conferees abandon the sen- ate amendment prohibiting the en- try of soldiers script under the provisions of the pending measure. He declares that it would be a great injustice to allow the senate provision to stand, and that he will see the whole bill defeated before he will yield this point.
 The senate committee on terri tories held a meeting today to dis cuss the delegate bill. It developed during the meeting that nearly every member is opposed to the method of holding elections in Al aska, as provided by both the Bev- eridge bill and the Cushman bill. Had it not been for the absence of two or three senators definite &C., tion'would have been taken on the bill today This action will prob- ably be the reporting of an amend ment to the Cushman bill striking out almost everything except the enacting clause and providing for appointment of the delegate by a committee instead of his election by the people. The proposed commit tee is to consist of the governor of Alaska, the surveyor general, who is secretary of the territory ex oficio and the judges of the three federal courts. It looks as if this action would be taken at the next meeting of the committee.

The Seattle P. l. of the 14th says that President Roosevelt and Secre- tary Root made an important dis covery today. What they discover ed has been known to the people of the northwest for long time, and to many other well informed per sons, but it happened to be new to MT. Roosevelt and MT. Root. Since Mir. Root was selected to serve as a commissioner on the Alaska bound ary, he has naturally developed a great interest in the boundary dis pute. He and the president were examining the great geographical globe that stands in the cabinet room. They found that the Alaska boundary, as marked on that map, upholds the contention of the Uni ted States, and that, moreover that this chart was prepared under the direction of the British admiralty. This discovery made the deepest impression on the president and secretary. This ought to be sufi-
 cient to settle this boundary ques- tion effectually and for all time.

With all due difference to the opinion of editor Russel, expressed in another column of this issue. SENTINEL does not believe that Wrangell is yet quite ready for municipal government, notwith- standing the fact that it would be a long stride in the line of prog ress. The main reason for our objection is that there are many expenses connected with munich pal organization that would be a burden for our citizens to meet un- der charter such as Is granted to Alaskan towns. Could @e have charter, for instance, that would give to the town ALL the saloon li- censes, then the town could live without being burden upon the people; but to cut this in two and maintain schools, pay officials and meet other necessary expenses by compelling the people to dig down into their pockets, would work a hardship. No, Bro. Russel, Wran- gell is good healthy child; let her ''creep" awhile longer; she'll walk" when the proper time ar rives and have good, sound limbs to stand on.
