under satisfactory control through the
wise, careful and aggressive action of
Governor Peabody in putting down in
surrection. anarchy and general dis
regard for the laws Of the land; and.
F.. Whereas, the Western Federation OF
Miners and State Federation of Labor
have seen fit to take issue with the
governor and revile the chief executive
because of his able. fearless and time
ly action in controlling the situation;
and.
Z Whereas. 1t is but fitting and due to
the present executive OF our state that

ministration; therefore oe it
Resolved. that the 600 members of
the Citizens Protective League of Ida

ed to the present day, and commend his

further
Resolved. that we recognize and ap-
preciate his efficient protection of life

lawlessness and crime attempted by the
inner circle of the Western Federation
of Miners; and be 1t further
! Resolved, that knowing the diff
culties encountered within our county
through the importation Of agitators
and professional dynamiters, proven to
have been supplied by this inner cir
cle.' and having learned the great truth
.of the maxim, An ounce Of prevention
Is worth a pound Of cure we know
that his course in sending the militia
to Colorado City, the Cripple Creek
district and the San Juan district with
out delay was the means of preventing
great crimes against life and property
which had already been set on foot by
the inner circle which has for its mot
to Rule or Ruin. and we hereby record
our support and loyalty to Governor
Peabody for these wise and able acts"

the Mail cables that he has had an in
terview with Admiral Alexieff, Russian
viceroy in the far East, who spoke OF
the impossibility of arranging q mo-
dus vivendi with Japan. The viceroy
then referred the correspondent to his
diplomatic agent, M, Plancon, who en-
phasized the inpossibiIity of Russia's
evacuation of Manchuria. and said
"Orders were given six months ago
to evacuate New Chwang and Manchu-
ria, provided the Chinese would agree
to simple terms. but, owing to the in
trigues Of the Japanese minister with
the Wal WI Pu. (Chinese Foreign
Board) these orders were counter
manded"
NJ. Plancon declared that the action
of the United States in making a COM
mercial treaty with China without
Russia's consent under the existing
circumstances, was unfriendly and un-
diplomatic. Russia, he said. would not
open or allow consuls at Mukden and
Autung under the present regime. II
Japan wanted Corea. Russia, M. Plan
con said, would not interfere. provided
other powers allowed 1t, and, he added:
Russia did not ask Japan's consent
to occupy Manchuria, neither was It
necessary for Japan to seek Russia's
permission to establish a protectorate
in Corea."
M. Plancon concluded by saying that
the United States and other nations
were more interested in the situation
than was Russia.

be the worlds clearing house II Great
Britain's present relations with her

his future arguments on those returns
as they proved that the growth Of for
eign expectations to the British colo
nies had greatly. exceeded the growth
of expectations from the motherland.
The position OF Great Britain was de-
teriorating. and though he anticipated
no immediate catastrophe. the situation
called loudly for some remedy. The les
sons OF the past must be applied and
the framework of q new empire must
be built up under new conditions. by
adopting the protective policy adopted
by every civilized nation and creating
new bonds OF union with the colonies.
Although no vote of confidence was
permitted. the extraordinary enthusi-
asm of the members of the Stock Ex-
change who escorted Mr.. Chamberlain's
carriage to the Guild hall. the cheers
which punctuated his speech and the
vociferous applause at the close OF his
remarks. must have assured the for
mer colonial secretary that he had the

Report on Alaska.

Senator Dillingham;, from the com.
mittee on territories, introduced in the
Senate the report of subcommittee
consisting of Senators Dillingham;,
Burnham, Nelson and Patterson, which
visited Alaska during the last summer
and made a thorough investigation Of
existing conditions, resources and leg
islative needs of the territory.
A statement of receipts and expendi-
lures of the general government since
Alaska became part of the United
States shows a profit to the govern
ment of nearly a million dollars. The
report says that in 1902 the output of
canned salmon from Alaska was 2,631,-
$40 cases, valued at about $4,000, 900,
from which the government derived a
revenue Of $105,225. The committee
recommends that some provision be
made for propagatlng salmon in suffi-
cient quantities to insure the perma-
nency of the supply.
The report says that the great
wealth to be derived in the cod, her
ring and halibut fisheries of Alaskan
coast Is little comprehended because
few have sought 1t. The committee
predicts that the annual catch of eod
can be made to exceed that of New
foundland or any other part of the
world. Whether the climatic condi-
tions OF the region, which initiate
against successful curing of fish can
be overcome has not been fully deter
mined.
The most unfortunate of all the ex-
isting faulty conditions in Alaska, the
report says, is the poor transportation
facilities.
The committee calls attention to the
fact that Congress has provided good
government for the district Of Alaska,
but substantial legislation Calculated
to aid the people in the development
OF great areas Of gold and copper pro-
duction territory is needed.
