 Juneau, Alaska, Aug l2. To the Citizens of Alaska:
 The necessity for united action on the part of the citizens of Alaska on the important question pertaining Co the district, now being agitated, and the urgent need for deciding what is to be demanded, as a right, from congress, prompts this catl for non-partisan convention composed Of delegates elect ed by the people
 Such convention met in Juneau Oc- tober, 1899, and much was accomplished of benefit to the district. But a feel ing remains that we have not our con stitutional rights. It is to get intelli- gent united action on all questions per taining to the present or future welfare of the district that the district central committee, selected by the above men- toned convention, calls upon duly qualified and instructed delegates of the whole of Alaska to meet in person and without proxies at the city of Ju- neau on Monday, the 26th day of octo- Der 1903, at 10 o'clock a, m., in a non- partisan convention, to deliberate and take such action on all questions that may be brought up as to them may seem wise.

POLICY OF Plus x.
Certain Points IN Which 1t Is LikeIu
to Differ from That of Leo XIII.

While it would be a great mistake to imagine
for one moment that the accession of Plus y
10 the Chair of ST. Peter is likely to be followed
by any sensational and radical modification of
the relations between the Vatican and the
Quirinal in the near future, yet there is reason
TO believe that in certain respects the policy of
the new Pope will differ from that of his prede-
cessor. OF course, it is impossible to speak with
any degree of gertrude about the matter. But
it may interest my readers to know that the
deductions contained in this letter are derived
from some who enjoyed the warm friendship
and confidence Of the Pontif when lie was
still Patriarch of Venice while il may possibly
be remembered that in an article published in
these columns on April n last portraying Car
dinal Sarto I predicted that he would be the
successor OF Leo XIII.
Plus while Archbishop of Venice formed
not merely an acquaintance, but likewise a
warm friendship, with Don Carlos and his Wife
who make their home in the City of the La
gOons occupying the beautiful Loredan Palace
on the Grand Canal, where the Patriarch was
often an honOred and welcomed guest. 1t was
personal affection for his godson, young King
Alfonso that led Leo XIII to champion his cause
to the extent of refusing to receive or coun-
tenance in any way Don Carlos, and to issue the
most peremptCry commands prohibiting the
episcOpacy and clergy in Spain from any mani
1estaUOn or tnelr notorious sympathy Tor the
of the Pretender, a course which, while
approved by Cardinal RampOlla. who spent
many years at Madrid nunc:O, viewed
with dissatisfaction by most of the members of
the Sacred College contrary to the interests
of the Church and religious orders. Among
them Cardinal SartO and, while it would be
idle to expect Plus y publicly to declare him
self in the future in favor of the aspira-
tions of the Duke of Madrid, it is probable that
his personal relations with the latter will affect
the policy of the Holy Seat in Spain to the
tent of the withdrawal of the ban placed by the
late POntiff upon the cause of the Pretender.
Indeed, the very fact that Plus Y is known TO
be an old friend of Don Carlos cannot fail to
encourage the clergy and religious orders in
Spain TO abandon the attitude which they have
oeen compelled until now to adopt toward the
Iegitimist movement, and to support the latter
against a government that stands committed to
measures destined to curtan their powers and
fiscal immunites In short while the death OF

the trammels of which II would rejoice 70 be
liberated. For royalty has but little in common
with socialism and revolutionary radicalism.
In fact. large Conservative majority in the
national legislature at Rome. resulting from the
admission of the Catholic electorate to exercise
their franchise. might render possible the nego-
tiatiOn of modus vivendi between church and
state in Italy, equally advantageous To both.
Strengthening alike the monarchy and the
PapaCy
Bearing this in mind. it Will be understood
why immediate modification in the relations
of the Papacy with the Italian Government
need be expected. And those that have been
led by the stories Of the friendly intercourse OF
the former Patriarch of Venice with the King
the two queens, the royal family and the Italian
authorities, to imagine that Plus Y is about to
proclaim reconciliation with the QuirinaI are
likely to be disappointed. Popes even more than
mere secular sOvereigns are bound in a measure
by tradition and by obligations not merely to the
present, but likewise to the past. which in the
case of the Papacy extends back nearly two
thousand years. Leo XIII, like Plus y, enter
tanned pleasant relations with the Italian au-
thOrties while Archbishop of Perugia, and az
terward at Rome. until he became Pope. and
was accounted friendly toward the House OF
Savoy. But he found obstacles in every direc-
ton to the fuIflment of the projects which he
had formed before his elevation to the Chair OF
St Peter. While. owing to the a''ered condi-
tons which prevail to-day, both within and
without the Vatican, the path of Plus y VIII be
easier yet he, too. viii be confronted by diff
cultIes which will force him to mo, more slow
~ and with elaboration, and anything in the
shape of an understanding between church and
state viii emanate not directly from the Chair
of St Peter or from the throne OF Italy. but as
l have pointed out above. VIII result from the
presence of a powerful and predominant cath
Ole party in the Parliament at Rome.
Plus y knows little about the United States
his information concerning the latter being
largely derived from those Italian priests who
are sent 10 this country for the purpose of
watching over the spiritual and material well
