 Seattle, May y25.-President Roosevelt addressed 5000 enthusiastic AlaSkans Saturday evening. He showed a familiarity with Alaskan conditions that was remarkable. In the course Of his speech he said, "Men of my age will not be old men before we see Alaska one of the rich and populous states of the union"
 The president committed himself to a delegate iu congress, and at one point indicated that a regular territorial gov erument would have toprecede a state government Healso intimated that at some time he would visit Alaska.
 President Roosevelt and party m- rived at Seattle from Everett at 9:3O o'clock Saturday evening and rushed at once Co the Grand Opera house, which was crowded to the doors with Alaskans and theirfriends.
 Alfred c. Daly, deputy district attor- ney for Alaska during the second Cleye- land administration, long resident Of Juneau but now of Nome, presented the president with a gold pan in @ sump,uous address in behalf of the Arctic Brotherhood. He invited the presiden, Co visit Alaska and presented him a book of passes on every northern l.ue bound in gold. The presentation seemed to please the president im- mensely.
 Al the close ot his address, which was delivered from the stage, the pres ident requested the Alaska committee to bring their presents to him at the Washington hotel Sunday morning. The committee waited on the president at his hotel early yesterday afternoon and received a pIivate audience from him. The president expressed himself as being pleased to avail himself of Che invitation to visit Alaska soon. He said he would bring with him and sub init an application to join the Arctic Brotherhood.
 The president received a few other visitors yesterday aiternoOn;in the even ing he took a horseback ride to Fort Lawton. He returned to his hotel and at ll:3O o'clock last night he started eastward.

 come 80.
 Seriously, let me thank you and the members Of the Arctic Brotherhood for this greeting and these gifts l am happy to say that during the last year or two the national legislature has be- gun to realize the responsibility with reference to Alaska, and that even those of our people who lo not dwell on the Pacific slope are beginning to under
 stand that in the very near future Alaska will be not merely regularly organized territory, but a great and
 populous state. Alaska lies in the same latitude as. and can. and will in the life time cf those am now addressing, sup port as great a population as the Scan dinavian peninsula of the old world. It is curious how fate has often driven us forward as a nation toward great ness, in spite Of the protests of many who esteemed themselyes in training and culture best fitted to shape the na- tion's destiny In 1903, when we acc ouircd territory stretohing from the Mississippi t6 the Pacific, there were plenty of wise men who announced that we were acquiring a mere desert; that it was yiolating the constitution Co ac. Quire it, and that the acquisition was fraught with seeds of dissolution for the republic. Think how absurdly the eve nt ialslfed the predictions of these men. (Applause.) And SO when, in the late eos, by treaty, we acquired Alaska; this great territory; this terri tory with unfathomed possibilities was taken in spite of the bitter opposition of many men. who were patriots accord ! ing to thric liqbteand who rste med ! themsc'ges Iar-signted; many men who held we were doing ourselves aud th. nation. wrong by acquiring uer~ito-y which is now the one possession upon which we pride ourselves most. And but few years c-o, too, there were excellent men tO bemoaned the fact that we were O. ,iecd during our war with Spain to kr DO, session of the Philipl ines, aui' sh 'w that we were hereafter to b, uue ot The domineDl powers of the Pacific.
