BURNHAM WANTED
CAMP WALLACE FIELD

D. H. Burnham, the architect who
designed most of the buildings for the
st. Louis Exposition, and who passed
through here few months ago en-
route to Manila. where he was to sub
nit a plan for the building of a model
official city near Manila-a Philippine
Simla-was through passenger on the
siberia yesterday en- route to the main
land. He was accompanied by Mr.. Will
Anderson, the young Utah architect,
who won first prize in competition in
Paris few years ago. Mr.. Burnham
was joined here by Mrs. Burnham ana
Miss Burnham, who have been guests
at the Moana Hotel for several weeks,
all departing together for the main
lana yesterday afternoon.
There has been a rub at Manila be-
tween the Philippine Commission and
the military authorities over Camp Wal
lace field. The Commission did not wish
to give the military a vested right in
Camp Wallace field for drills and mill
tary maneuvers, and the military au-
thorities don't want the field all the
time only occasionally.
Architect Burnham had a tentative
scheme for using the field for the cree
ton of new government buildings. He
desired to have capitol building, when
the revenues of the internal revenue
law will permit, buildings in which may
be housed the heads of bureaus and
their STATS and surrounding all with a
park and recreation ground that will
make Central Park in New y ork look
like the proveroial thirty cents.
To carry out this plan would leave
little or no room for military maneuv-
ers. The architects scheme for the
Identification of the city was seriously
dlsarranged by TINS desire of the mill
tary authorities.
Mr.. Burnham may return to Manila
again this summer.

which overhangs Kealakekua Bay,

Hoolulu was also a chief, who had

Opinion of
StoesseI.

Mr.. Ashmead Bartlett, son of Ash
mead Bartlett of the British Parlia
ment. and step-son of the famous
Baroness Burdett-Coutts, was through
passenger on the Liberia yesterday er
route from the Far East TO London
Mr.. Bartlett has been representing the
London Times with the japanese invest
ing army before Port arthur, and en-
tered the fallen city with the victors
on January II.
General Stoessel can only be rank
ed as a second-rate defender of a great
Fortress said Mr.. bartlett yesterday
aboard the Siberia. ''He should have
held out at least rec months longer,
but he came to the dividing line be-
tween humanity and military glory, and
gave in. The surrender was somewhat
of surprise, for it was believed that
StoesseI would hold on like grim death
to the last ditch.
f'There has never been a siege like
that at Port Arthur since that at Sc
bastopol. 1t was great defense as
far as it went, but Russia loses the
glory of it by Stoessel's early surren-
der. Ny opinion is that instead of at
tanning first place in military annals
as commander of besieged fortress,
must be content with second
place.
FStoessel was far from being the
moving spirit in the defense of Port
Arthur. Russians admit that Kondre-
the engineer who fortified
Port Arthur, was the handspring of the
defense, and that when he was killed
the troops lost heart. Even these of
ficers," pointing to a group of Rus
sian naval officers from the broken
sengers on the Siberia, "say that Kon-
lrechencko s death was the turning
point in the defense.
E'As to the investing army, I do not
believe soldiers could be more brave.
The Japanese have shown themselves
fighters, and in the long
siege of Port Arthur, with the deadly
where thousands and thou
sands were slaughtered, they showed
heir militarism to the highest degree. |

INDIGNANT ALASKA.

n ITIZENS OF ALASKA are justly
~ indignant at the indifference dis
played toward their interests by the
congress that has just adjourned. IL
his annual message commenting on the
needs OF Alaska, President Roosevelt

as a nation is involved in seeing that
these needs are met And yet bill
providing for a delegate 10 the house
of representatives from Alaska, which
passed the house, was permitted to die
in the senate
So Alaska is to go without repre-
sentation. When the American citizens
of this great territory, which is Ger
tainly as much a part OF the United
States as Hawaii or Porto Rico, look
over The list of territorial delegates in
the house and see the names of repre-
sentatives OF Hawaii and Porto Rico,
they cannot be blamed for expressing
the Indignation they feel At a meet
ing held the other day in Valdez. the
counterpart of similar meetings in the
territory. the following telegram was
framed and sent to the president:
"On behalf of $4,000 American citi-
zens in Alaska, who are denied right of
representation in any form, we de-
mand in mass meeting assembled that
Alaska be annexed to Canada"
1t is entirely unlikely that the de
mand" made by the Alaskans viii be
complied with. but the vigor of the
protest should surely have the effect of
giving to Alaska as soon as the new
congress. can take the action. repre-
sentatiOn by delegate If there are
good reasons why Porto Rico and Ha-
wall should be represented, TO say
nothing of Arizona and New Mexico
and Oklahoma and Indian Territory
there are equally good reasons why
Alaska should have representation.
The failure to pass the bill is so OBJ
viOusly unjust that one wonders how
! il happened. The only plausible eX-
planat is that the Alaskans felt SC

Sleep Induced by Water.
Golfers Weekly9

According to Captain j. H. Ander-
son. the Hindoo mothers in the Simla
district of the Himalayas have novel
method of putting their children to
sleep. a place is leveled off I'm the
neigh boThOOd OF some spring and bed
made of leaves or mating. Water is
brought from the spring through a hol-
low bamboo stick so arranged that the
water. flowing out of the end OF the
tube with Il fall OF a foot or so, strikes
near one end OF the prepared bed. The
child is placed on the bed in such a
way that the water as il flows from the
bamboo tube strikes against his head
After ten or fifteen minutes the child
falls asleep. The slumber induced in
this artificial way lasts for two or three
hours. and this long nap is given the
child in the forenoon and again in the
afternoon. The natives believe that
children who do not have this novel
water cure will become diseased and
die So far as known. no physiological
explanation has been made of the Tea-
son why the falling water striking
against the chiId's head causes sleep

MILEAGE GRAB BEATEN.

MATTER that seems to have all
Il but escaped the attention of the
public was the passage by the house.
in the closing hours of the last con-
gress, of a bill providing for the pay
ment of $1S0000 in mileage to members
under the pretense' that there was
constructive recess between the extra
session that began year ago last No
vember and the regular session that
Immediately followed it. AS a matter
OF fact, there was no recess whatever
The extra session came to an end at
one moment and the regular session
began the next moment.
Nevertheless mem berS of the house
proposed to pay themselves mileage
from the capital to their homes and
then back 10 the capital. The senate
had the good sense and the honesty TO
kill the bill. but the action of the house
is none the less reprehensible. The in
tent of the law regarding mileage for
members of congress is 10 pay the ac-
tual expenses of such members in trav-
cling from their homes to Washington
and return
1t was manifestly impossible for any
member no matter how close to Wash
ington ne may have lived, to so home
during a recess that never existed. The
proposed mileage allowance was a
graft pure and simple. IT set. in high
