y the entire people are crying out in loud voice for redress. Judges would seem to require certain qualifications of mind, and governors another quality, and the two sets of qualities seem difficult of finding in the same individual. Thus the president chooses a man for his exec utive qualifications ana sends him to Nome, and as a judge he earns place in the penitentiary. Then he chooses an- other man for his known fairness of mind, and sends him to Juneau. The results there are quite as disastrous, for a fair judge is there found utterly made quate to cope with the lobbying infu- ences which cluster always about the place of governor.
 The proposition now is to let the judges be the judges, and to vest the executive powers either in commission or board. as in Yukon, or to give the powers over bodily to the nominal governor, and establish for him board of officials similar to Yukon officialdom. At present the courts of Alaska are the collecting and d.sbursing offices of Alaska, and the business is growing to such proportions as to seriously threaten the efficiency of the courts in the matter of dispensing justice. It will be seen from the sugges- tions of the senatorial committee that much they recommend is founded upon what they saw while in Dawson. The gentlemen of the commission were here just long enough ard met just the right gentlemen to learn the good in our sys tenn, and to escape sight of the mani fold evils thereof. We very much doubt if many iuk koners, unattached to the govt lament, aud who have been here five years, will lend their endorsement to Senator Deitrick's recommendations for Alaska. He suggests the executive pow CTS be vested in the governor and commission, one half elected by the de- partments of Alaska and one half ap- pointed by the president. This plan for government of white men is as un- American as il is British, and we doubt not will prove as pernicious in Alaska as ir Yukon, where the cry for years has been for wholly elective council
 We confess that for the life of us we can rot understand the reluctance to recommend wholly elective commis- sion for Alaska. We fail to reach Sena- tor Deitrick's point of view, and to un- derstand why Alaskans are not as capable of self government as any 79, 900 Ameri- cans to be found ill the United States. This much is certain: any half and half proposition is doomed to failure from the moment il is tried Govern mcnt by an official commission would not be so bad in Alaska as here. for doubtless the president would make his appoint- ments from among the Alaskans them selves, and not as is done by the governor in council in the matter of Yukon. from among the people of different sections of Canada But the scheme is faulty. and, meaning well for Alaska. we trust it will never be tried.
 lt is bes, that Alaska should have the largest measure of self government it is best that the governing body should

Sir Mortimer wouId Not Talk.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Sir Morti-
mer Durand, the British ambassador,
was at the White House last night and
was in conference with President
Roosevelt for almost an hour. With
him also was Mr.. Spring Rice, former
ly attached to the British embassy at
Washington, but now first secretary
of the British embassy M ST. Peters
burg. Mr. Spring Rice is personal
friend of the president. The presence
of Ambassador Durand at the White
House on Sunday night-quite an I'M
usual thing for HMM company with
Mr.. Spring Rice. who is fresh from st.
Petersburg, gave rise to the surmise
that the cessation of the war between
Russia and Japan might he under con
Sideration. The ambassador declared
when leaving that there was nothing
of interest talked about and that he
had nothing to say.

prl.oners nroneht to Mulden.

MUKDEN. Feb. 6.-Though there Is
momentary pause in the operations,
Russian activity on the Shakhe river
has not ended. Two hundred japanese
prisoners were brought in here. They
were badly dressed and suffering from
cold. The Japanese report that 800
Russians were taken prisoners during
the Sandepas operations is untrue. and
the Japanese losses greatly exceed the
Tokyo estimates of the Russian losses,
because in their advance over the fro
zen ground it was impossible for the
japanese to intrench.
