 "Gentlemen" exclaimed the veteran congressman, would 1t not be an inter- esting sight to see Captain Hobson stride into the senate and say to Morgan and Pettus. gentlemen you have opposed my bill and you will have to get out? Then he would go over to the house and clean out the whole business
 Colonel Bankhead then advanced his good roads proposition and said that ne was working as hard as possible to get the government to make an appropriauon for the improvement of the roads in his district. Being notified that his time was out, Colonel Bankhead concluded and was greeted with loud cheers. Hobson Gets an Ovation. As Captain Hobson arose he was given another ovation, and 1t was several min utes before the crowd was quit enough for him to begin his argument He began by complmenting Colonel Bankhead for eliminating personalities and said the debate would be on much higher plane.

He said that he had been educated in the navy and that was his life work' that on account of his eyes failing nm he wanted to go on the retired hs. so as to be able to respond to the call or duty when his services were needed. He said that it would require a special act of congress for him to be restored to the navy.
 He explained the controversy over ms eyes and read from a letter written by Congressman Dayton saying that mem bers of the house committee would not vote for the bill because they thought 1t was Captain Hobson's intention to run against Bankhead for congress. He read the report of the board of survey which had declared him unfit for duty and had recommended that he be removed from the tropics. He was at that time sta

PORT ARTHUR WILL BE
 DEFENDED ID THE LAST
Viceroy Alexleff Remains at Mukden, and 5000 or 400o Soldiers Are Daily Passing to Their
 Positions.

St. Petersburg, March 5.-Although al- most four weeks have elapsed since the Japanese first attacked Port Arthur, the war is regarded as hardly begun. Heavy land fighting on which the fate of the campaign depends Is not expected much before the end of April. By this time Rus sia will have in the field, exclusive of the large army required to guard the railroads, four army corps, each with a cavalry division and an artillery brigade.
 The crippling of the Port Arthur feet while it gave Japan command of the sea at the outset, is of relatively small inn portance from the standpoint of the main strategy of the war whether Port Ar thur stands or falls. Russians are deter mined to defend Port Arthur as heroical- ly as they did Sevastopol. No large gar- rison will be retained there; ten thous- and men are as good as 100000 for de- fence, while the more men, the more mouths to feed. There are enough pro- visions there now to last for eight months.

 Viceroy Alexieff still retains his head quarters at Mukden, through which 5000 or 4000 soldiers are passing daily to the positions which the main armies will oc- cupy The Russians believe that for mil- itary purposes there is only one road over which the Japanese cap come from Korea AlItha troops ancesS- sbaiss'lpo, Mokpho and Chinnampho m.s Is bae "Pekin road g)nsequenely the issa4ni al. .. places on the east coast of northern Korea are not regarded as important.
 The Russian plans don't contemplate taking any chances on the score of in- ferior numbers. By sheer weight of men and guns, if nothing else, when the proper time arrives, Russia counts on over- whelming the Japanese and rolling them back through Korea. It is realized that the vastness of the theatre of war will make the protection of the railroad the sole means for transportation of troops and supplies one of the most provoking phases of the problem.
 Expected to Give Ground.
 Japanese are expected with their small forces to soon yield up any ground gained Adeouate steps are believed to have been taken to guard against the cutting off or communication.
 General Kuropatkin, who leaves for the front March 12 is expected to be on the ground before the real campaign opens He has purchased milk-white horses from an officer of the cavalry school to ride in the far east. thus following the exam pie of the famous General Skibetoff with whom he fought at the siege of Geok Tep.

LAPS REGARD RUSSIA'S
 COMPLAINTS AS A JOKE

Tokio, March 5.-Japan addressed a note to the powers today in response to the re- cent communication from Russia The note has not been published, and it's con- tents are unknown.
 Russia's various communications to the powers attacking Japan for its conduct of diplomatic negotiations before the rup- ture, in the attack upon Russia without a declaration of war. and it's alleged viola ton of the neutrality of Korea, have been received in Japan largely in the spirit of amusement. The Japanese resent what is alleged to be a deliberate att tempt to place them in false position re- garding certain incidents, but in the main do not take the correspondence seriously.
 Responding to the charge of violating the neutrality of Korea, they have point ed to the action of Russia in Manchuria, where thousands of troops were assembled long before diplomatic rupture occurred. They say that they are fully prepared to accept the judgement of the powers on a comparison of their course in Korea, fair hearing. No further disturbance oc- cured
 Colonel Bankhead defended his record on the improvement of the Warrior and Tombigbee rivers, and showed that he had caused an immense amount of money to be spent in the erection of dams and locks in these streams, especially the Warrior. He paid high tribute to the late Col. B. M. Long, a prominent republican who had often run against him for congress, and whose home was at Cordova. He repeated the words of Colonel Long, who had said that If Bankhead was kept in congress long enough he. would make the Warrior one of the greatest coal-produc- ing rivers in the United States.
 Colonel Bankhead then took up Hobson's naval bill and severely criticised its wis- dom without growing personal He said that Captain Hobson had made the re- markabe statement that this $2,000, ,0o0 ,000 navy could be built without imposing ex- tra taxation on the people. That is a most absurd proposition" said the con- gressman and as I have said before. I am willing to let him take it to Washing ton. and if he finds one democrat who will support 1t I will quit the race and leave the field to him"
 Brought First Cheers.
 This remark brought out the first cheers for Bankhead. He said that the govern rent was nov preparing to issue bonds to build the the Panama canal and with this additional burden upon them he did not see how the extra taxation could be escaped. He must indeed have a re- markable system of finance said Colonel parkhead "Why gentlemen. this array of battleships would put the world on notice that we were ready for trouble and would practically be a declaration of war" He then explained the Monroe doc trine, and said Captain HoDsons theory that this doctrine should be extended to far away China was indeed remarka ble. He said the establishment of such a Juris- diction in foreign possessions was not a democratic doctrine. The congressman as- serted that the expenses of the govern ment were already increasing more rapid ly than our wealth and poulation.

FOR sELF.GoYERNMENT.

The latest champion for self-govern- ment for Alaska is the Pittsburg Dis patch. l. sees in the constant tr6u bles with administration in this district symptoms of the evils of attempting to govern a people without their consent.
 The Dispatch says:
 "Tbe rumored removal of judicial of ficers in Alaska and the scarcely dis guised statement that this was neces. sary to- protect the people of that ter ritory from being plundered by the very official machinery instituted to secure them justice has deeper signlti- canoe than the breaking up of single set of rascals.
 "In the first place it illustrates the difficulty of sending officials by the po- litical doctrine of selection to govern distant territories without the check of representative institutions. In the case of the judge whose original abuses led to his removal some time ago the use of his judicial power to take away mems property was proved in higher court, and the punishment of removal and i'm prisonment was inflicted. Now Assist ant Attorney General Days iuvestiga- tions disclose that the appalling viola tion of judicial integrity is not confined to one case, and number of other re- movals are announced or forshadowed. It is plain that the people of Alaska have had no protection against fragrant official injustice, and they are not like ly to have any permanent security against the recurrence of such things until they have some sort of represen- tation, both in their territory and at Washington"

Business men of Alaska will submit

Business men of Alaska will submit a plan to the United States government for the dredging of Dry Strait, near Wrangen Narrows. It is claimed by Alaska residents that the route will shorten the distance between Seattle and Juneau more than fifteen miles and save the great expense of widening and deepening the narrows. The govern ment has been considering improving Wrangell Narrows for the past two years. Major Mills has made the nec- essary surveys and the plans have been forwarded to Washington. It will re- quire at least S2,OOO,OOO to remove ob- structions from the channel and dredge out sand and mud banks. It is estimated by those promoting the plan that Dry Strait could be dredged and secured from danger of reflling for OO,OOO.-Alaskan.

W. B. Hoggatt, of Juneau, upon reaching his former home in Indiana, gave the following to the local press; "The business men in Alaska are gener- ally opposed to territorial form of government. The politicians and pro fessional men are the ones that favor territorial government. It would create offices which they would like to fill. Now the only officers we elect are mu- nicipal officers. We elect city councils and fight over them as vigorously as the people here in the states fight over the election of higher officers. All of fcers other than municipal are ap- pointed by the government at Washing ton. There are 27,OOO miles of coast line and only about 35,OOO residents of Alaska. There are few crimes in AL ka. Often, 1 think the less goyeru- ment there is, the better the people are. Of course we have our local com munity codes. In the last fifteen years there have been only three murders in southeastern Alaska" Mir. Hoggatt estimates that one-third of the entire population spends the winter in the United States or other countries. The people leave Alaska in the fall aud re- turn in the spring.
