for nine days.
The. telegram received by the strikers
from President Michael Donnelly, of
the Amalgamated union, was dated at
Chicago late last night and read:

Packers have asked for a conference

handlers and brine men will be called
OUT
AS soon as the telegram was read by
the officers of the South st. Paul union
and its contents made known to the
rank and file of the men who were still
about union headquarters, George
Steep, business agent of the union,
and Joseph Banks, chairman of the
new strike committee, the two leaders
of the strike for the past twenty-four
hours, agreed to lift the blockade on
the South st. Paul packing plants.

12:45 a. m. "The blockade will be lifted
pending the result of the conference
We will raise the blockade and leave

he added: "And this is no joke ,
Blockade on Yesterday
The usual blockade was continued
yesterday, very few persons getting
through the lines. The girls were on
hand as usual and did effective work,
promising they would be back again
today and take their places in front of

orders of President Willis to break the
blockade, was in charge of the pickets.
directing their movements, and later
boasted of his action before the union.
The packing house officials claim that
they yesterday smuggled in fifteen ex-e
pert workmen, but President Willis
said that there has been but four de-
sertions since the strike began, and
that these men were of no consequence.
Sheriff Grisim agreed with number
of South ST. Paul business men that he
would make one more effort to clear

THE SOUL OF THE SAMURAl.

The war news from the Orient. while not
exciting, conveys the impression that the
little brown men have the Russian bear
badly scared. Russia is fighting not only
the ''island nation" but patriotic senti-
ment whose strength is almost incalculable.
The devotion of the Japanese to their coun-
try is as intense as it is remarkable. In
old Japan it was the prerogative, the abso-
Lutte function, of the samurai to be always
ready to sacrifice themselves for the state.
and its honor dearer than the apple of the
eye The world has never known a knight
ller code OF honor, a more absolute conse-
Grafton, than the feudal system developed
in Japan. And, apparently, in the broad
ening of the Japanese national life that has
come about in the last fifty years, this feel
ing has not been extnguished, but has
broadened also, passing over from the
caste that was supposed to inclose it into
the spirit of the whole people.
A story is told of Japanese youth, a
son of one of the great merchants of Toxic,
who happened to be serving a dinner to a
customer, who, in reply to an insinuation as
to why the japanese should want to get
back to his country and fight against China,
said simply: 81 wish to fight for my en-
peror, sir" The anecdote is valuable be-
cause of its suggestiveness 1t is the spirit

AN ALASKAN BEATlTUOE.

All those eminent and very representa-
tive Alaskans who were in Washington last
winter do not seem to have accomplished
much in the way of legislation for the dis
trict. Alaska is still stepchld of Uncle
Sam, and is destined so to remain for sew
eral years to come. The territory is with
out representative in congress, and it will
be for an indefinite period, it seems The
asses who annually journey to Washington
to air their little knowledge of Alaska and
self-seeking parasites who have axes of
their own to grind or a graft to chase. One
eminent individual who appeared before the
committee on territories advocated three
delegates instead OF one. In this, in our
opinion, he showed himself a false friend of
the country he talked about so glbly. ANY
disinterested man ought to have known that
to get congress to pass a bill authorizing
the appointment or election of three dele
gates would be an impossiblity. Would it
not have been wiser and much better for
the interests of the territory to have one
delegate than none at all =? The proposed
bills for appropriations for the construc-
ton of roads in Alaska also seem to have
gone by the board, principally because of
the wrangling and contentious developed
between the wagon road promoters and the
railroad boomers. And so Alaska is made
to suffer. The railroad projectors knocked

be done by publcity-the publishing OF

man who has any material interest in the
country is therefore, interested in anything
that will make for its prosperity.

HARD TO BELIEVE.

The state of New York has struck a
grievous blow at the economic principle of
consolidation. 1t has done that which it
ought not to do and, moreover, could not do
according to the modern doctrines of in
dustry. Time and again we have been told
that the trust tendency is one that is as SUI
peror to human law as the procession of the
seasons.
There was once a trust known as the
candy trust. 1t raised the price of candy %
per cent, denied credit to small dealers and
shut out all new competitors.
One of the trusts victims was Morris
Goldenberg, 1873 f Broadway, New York
The trust ruined Goldenberg. This disaster
drove his wife first to insanity and then to
death Goldenberg was angry. He regard
ed the candy trust as a murderer. No con-
sderations of invncible commercial and in
dustrial tendencies deferred this broken
break the trust.
Fortunately, he found support at the
hands of a wealthy candy manufactures,
who had not gone into the trust. A special
attorney was engaged to assist the district
attorney, and prosecutions of members of
the trust were begun under the state anti
trust law. From that moment the tables
were turned, the hounds were pursued 1t
was soon their turn to Cry for mercy.
A short time ago thirteen members of
the candy trust lined up in New York
court room and pleaded guilty to the charge
of conspiracy in restraint of trade. In view
of the fact that the trust had already been
smashed the judge suspended sentence but
warned them that if they were ever arrest
ed again the sentence would be imposed
with severity.
There is something wrong about this.
What right has an insignificant little state
like New York to interfere with the ele-
mental tendencies of commerce? How can
it be possible that law has triumphed over
INSCRIPTIONS money getting? Are what
are known as the natural tendencies of
trade Tendencies to enrich the few and
pauperize the many-to be thus impudently
interfered with by the law?

the wagon road proposition because they
feared it would interfere with the subsidy
which they were seeking, and the result is
that neither the wagon road appropriations
nor the railroad subsidies will be granted
And yet congress could well afford to not
only subsdize railroad building in a con
sentative way, but make substantial appro-
priations for wagon roads. AS it is we get
nothing, and therein we are in line to re-
ceive the BENSON Blessed are they that
expect nothing, for they shall not be disap-

A FIGHT AGAINST THEM.

A fight seems to be on in Washington
over the reappointment of Judge Brown, of
the first judicial division of Alaska, and
Judge Wickersham, of the third. The
fiercest attacks have been made on Judge
Brown, who is not only charged with inter
meddling in Alaska Republican politics, but
with holding stock in sundry and divers
corporations interested in litigation coming
before him. Like other men, not alone in
judicial positions Judge Brown is said to
have transferred his stock to his friend and
clerk of his court, the latter of course, so
goes the presumption, holding it in trust
for his chief. The terms of both Judge
Brown and Judge Wickersham expire next
June, and it is said to be doubtful if either
will be reappointed. Judge Brown last fall
allowed himself to be elected a delegate by
to the National Republican convention, and
this fact, it is alleged, has displeased the
strenuous president Judge Wickersham
says that his opposition is the result of
spite and malice and that he is entitled to a
reappointment. This is matter that de-
ponds largely on the point of view, and it
seems to be improbable that Judge Wicker
sham will succeed himself.
AT this writing it is not known whether
congress will create fourth judicial divi-
sion for Alaska. Perhaps not. But it is
within the realm of probability that fourth
Judge will be appointed, either to the Nome
judicial division or to Southeastern Alaska.
At any rate there will probably be re-
assignment of the judges, and perhaps re-
arrangement of the judicial divisions.

stretch of water, carrying such commerce
and such anumber of passengers, so woefully
lacking in all aids to navigation as the
waters of Alaska. 1t is high time that Con-
gress takes earnestly in hand the matter of
erecting lighthouses in all of the waters OF
Alaska and at all Of the harbOr entrances.
The present condition of affairs, while de-
cided Improvement on conditions which ex-
listed but few years ago, is still disgraceful
to the federal government.
The Nome nugget. (Nome, Alaska) 1901-1904, 1904-04-30
ALASKAN LIGHTHOUSES.

Capt. Jarvis, collector of customs for the
District of Alaska, is very hopeful that Con
gress at its present session will make fur
ther provision for the erection of lighthouses
in Alaska, and may make a separate light
house district of Alaska.
AT the present time, from Cross sound,
in Southeastern Alaska, to Point Barrow,
on the Arctic, there is but single light
house, although another one is in course of
construction. This is coast line consider
ably greater than the Atlantic coast line
from the Mexican border to the northern
most extremity of Maine, with the coast
line of all of the Great Lakes thrown in for
good measure, which is substantially with
out any of the ordinary and customary aids
to navigation to be found on every fishing
village along the Atlantic seaboard.
Nor is it because the coast which is thus
lacking in ordinary aids to navigation is not
frequented by vessels that this condition of
affairs exists There is a fleet of very large
proportions plying to Alaska at all times.
The number of vessels which depart from
the various coast ports to Alaska, princi-

year, and each of these vessels naturally
returns to her port of departure. Thus in
the course of a year there are propbably
1000 vessels plying Alaskan waters, coming
from points outside the district This is in
addition to the local vessels plying from one
Alaskan port to another
The total number of passengers carried
by these various vessels during the year
must approximate very closely to 100000,
although statistical information on this sub.
ject is hard to obtain. Furthermore the
value of the cargoes carried to and from
Alaska, exclusive of local commerce, within
the district, is in excess of $50 OOO, 900 a
year. 4>
OF course, the bulk of this trade is with
Southeastern Alaska, but even Southeastern
Alaska has but the merest pretense of proper
aids to navigation in four lighthouses now
