Gushman Says Congress
 Passed Poll Tax Bill

According to Congressman Cushman the road bill which passed congress is the one requiring the working out of a poll tax. Itwas one of the hobbies of Senator Nelson.
 Here is list of the legislation se- cured by Alaska as given out by the Tacoma congressman:
 "We passed a bill to authorize the appointment of road overSeers in Alas ka and to create road districts, and pro- viding that all mae persons in Alaska of proper age shall in each year per form two days work on roads and trails in his said district, or in lieu thereof pay the sum of s4 per day for two days work. This is an excellent bill, and will prove, believe, the 'eginning Of road building in Alaska.
 |" Ne passed a bill amending the pres cut coal land law of Alaska so as to per init coal lands to be taken up on unsur- veyed land in Alaska. As there are no surveyed lands in Alaska, the passage Uf this bill was a necessity This was one of my bills, and therefore take some personal pride in it"
 Nothing was said of the bill provid- ing for the retention in Alaska of the license money collected outside of in- cOUpOrated towns,

BEFORE AND AFTER

President Roosevelt has time after time demonstrated that he can be en- rol ed as a strong friend Of Alaska and AlaSkaus. His pr misses to Srnator Kearns, Mayor RuS'gard and J. W Ivey of Nome. to intervene and lend his asSista ce yo the passage of remedial legisl yion for Alaska, is but one Of numerous instances where he has shown decided interest in our behalf It Ted dy" promls tp do anything, iJ is $ re to be doae-aud done welI.-Rampart Forum.
 The Forums guess was made arly in the year and long before the adjourn meat of congress. Now that the ua- tionsl legislature has adjourned the Forum has another one coming.
 Mr. Roosevelt may be a good friend of Alaska in bis way, but his friendship par,akes too much of that Of the well disposed master toward his servant. There Is no doub, bu, that he is disap- pointed at the failure of congress to do anything for this district. If he had the full powers of the legislative branch of the government as we'll as those of the executive, as it is alleged he would like to have, he would prob ably do many things that he deems for Alaska's g0od-but whether those things would be satisfactory to Alaskans or not is quite another matter The trouble with Mir Roosevelt is that he is indifferent as to what the people of the district say or think in the matter. He desires to be the whole thing him self, even to choosing our delegate to congress for Us.
 IfNIr Roosevelt desires to retain the popularity in Alaska that was unques- tjonably his year ago he will right about face, and begin treating Alaskaas as American citizens.

TIL Cross Ocean in Motor Boat.

Although M. Charley's offer to give
$40, 900 to the first motor boat that
crosses the ocean has been surrounded
by 80 many conditions that it is almost
impossible to win, Lewis Nixon's con-
cern, the Standard Motor Construction
Company of Jersey City, has decided to
send a gasoline motor boat across the
water early next month. 1t will be the
first thing of the kind ever attempted,
and the result will be awaited with in
terest by experts and by the public in
general.
According to the present plan, the go
foot motor boat, which has been build
ing for some time, will be started on the
southern route across the Atlantic
and will be delivered to its owner in
the Mediterranean. The boat will be
equipped with two engines, each Of 300
horse power, and will be manned by a
crew of eight men, including pilots,
chauffeurs and the head-operator, Philip
| Adams. who showed to such advantage
with his racing automobile on the En-
pire track last Saturday.
1t will be remembered that some
months ago, NJ. Charley, one OF the
many automobile dealers in Paris, Of
fered to give $40, 900 to the owner of the
frat motor boat to cross the Atlantic
There was such a rush to accept thai
he became frightened and started bnild
ing fences around the prize.
When Mr.. Nixon wrote him q letter,
the reply was received that the triE
must be made from Hsvre TO New YorE
aud that a journey from New York Y
Hgvre wouldn't secure the money
Nevertheless, the Standard Compan,
decided to send a motor boat across
under its own power to customer whit
had ordered it built. Although the boa
is not strictly an automobile boat" a
the term is applied to the frail ligh
craft used in this country, its build AM
construction and its engines are OF tn
same type.

WATCHING FOR METEoRs.

There is a great deal of conjecture In
chronological circles whether the me-
teoric showers which are due about
every 9S years, will make their appear
ance in the heavens this month, as these
displays have during the past recent
years become very uncertain. The
showers, should they be seen, will oc-
cur about November IS, when the Le-
ouids may make their appearance, and
about November 2S, when the Andro-
medes are scheduled to arrive. The
meteoric appearances have taken place
about every 33 years with comparative
regularity, but in the year 1898 the
Leonids failed to make their appear
ance.
The Leouids and Andromedes are me-
teors of the same nature, the differences
in name being due TO the fact that, as
rar as is known, the radiating point for
the one is the constellation Leo, while
for the other the constellation Androm-
eda. The Leonids are generally more
prominent than the Andromedes.
When asked as to the probability of
the meteors making their appearance
this year, Mr.. Justice Stain, secretary
of the Astronomical Division OF the
Maryland Academy Of Sciences, said
yesterday:
While the shower of Leonids we're
due in 1898, so far it has disappointed
all astronomers, as the feeble displays
observed in this country and Europe
during the last few years have not been
comparable with the brilliant display OF
about 33 or "a years ago. While the
wear before last number of meteors
were observed in England and the United
States, aud prominent aeronaut, DR..
Isaac Roberts. of England, made
balloon ascension with Miss Klumpe, of
the Paris Observatory, and DIR. Bacon,
of London, also made separate ascen-
sion, the observations did not amount to
much. DR.. Roberts, who has since
died, was one of the most widely known
photographers Of the heavenly bodies.
| If any showers are observed this
month, on the 10th, 11th and 18th, it will
be an agreeable surprise to those inter
ested in the phenomena, but it probable
that an abundant display will not be
seen. 1t is likely that the meteOrs are
becoming more and more disseminated
through space and scattered throughout
the orbit, thus making each expected
return more meager than the preceding
one. This dissemination may be due to
the meteors meeting some resistance in
space, which do not think probable.
1t is decidedly more probable that the
stock of meteors is becoming exhausted
by falling on the earth, and possibly also
exhausting themselves on some other
planetary bodies. 1t is curious thing
that so-called meteors never fall during
a shooting star display, from which it is
to be concluded that shooting stars,
which make their appearance in bodies,
are very small particles.

suffer for his repulse, but there has
been no word of Japanese dissatisfac-
ton with any of their commanders. 1t
would seem that someone must have
Numbered. The Japanese had altogeth-
err, according to the best figures about
$4,000 more men than the Russians and
about 200 more field guns. Why should
Kuroki, carrying out a vital movement,
have found himself isolated and con-
fronted by superior force of Rus
slams?
Some day a detailed history of this
great battle will be written, and it will
be of absorbing interest. AS far as can
be seen now it was a brilliant japanese
tactical victory and an equally bril-
liant Russian strategic victory. AS the
Springfield paper already quoted says,
if the Japanese losses reached even

dous price for his success in making
