TO VISIT ALASKA.
Members Of Congress Will MAXI
Trip There the Present
Season.

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 fol-
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 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-
tion has proved himself to be rare
hoc nnnnnjVnd
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.

CUBANS WARNED NOT TO TAM
PER WITH TREATY.

In havana which Would Suffer
working on Cuban Pride to De-
feat Treaty.

Washington, March 2S.-Secretary
Hay has sent warning to Cuba that
the slightest amendment of the Cuban
treaty by the Cuban congress. even
that which proposes to make its rati'
fication conditional on the treaty go
ing into effect during the current cal
endar year. certainly would defeat the
convention itself, since any amend
ment must be submitted to the United
States senate. and before that can be
done the date fixed for the final ex-
change of Publications. March 81. will
have been passed.
Mr.. Squiers. the United States min
lister at Havana. has transmitted this
note to the Cuban foreign minister,
and he is hopeful that it will be suf-
ficient to curb the desire to amend the
treaty. 1t is fully realized here that
foreign influences in Havana which
would be affected injuriously by the
treaty are working upon Cuban pride
to defeat reciprocity by attaching
amendments to the treaty.

TEXT OF LAND BILL.
1t Contains Many Important tea-
turcs Hitherto Unpublished.

London March 2S.-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 a par
liamentary paper and bristles with
technicalities. The full wording re-
veals many important features which
we're not mentioned in Mr. Wyndham
speech when the bill was introduced.
All arrears of rent due at the time OF
the purchase of land are recoverable
bv 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.
I'm 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 tne 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 UNI
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

April l. 1903, he will receive for re-
funding, under authority OF section 2
of the act of March IA, 1900, to an
amount not exceeding $1O0,OO0,OO0,

prices yielding to the investor an in
come of pa per cent. per annum, and

change at a premium OF per cent.

change.

$97 10000 of per cent bonds and
$233 900 900 tours of 1907 which are
affected by the circular issued today.
There are also outstanding about $446,-
600 900 of the 2 per cent. consols of
1890 issued under the act of March
IA. 1900. These 2 per cent. bonds were
issued in 1SvJ at par, under provisions
of the refunding act Ii the new bonds
were to be issued at par there would
be profit to the owners of the bonds,
taking the present market valuation
as basis. of about per cent. on the
threes surrendered and about 51s 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.

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 5 per cent. bonds of 1904 will not
be received for refunding under this
circular, but will be reserved for re-
demption. They mature February /,
