MINERS HAVE THEIR DAY.

The result of the congressional dele gate election in Alaska may be ac- cepted as notice that the men actively engaged in the chief industry of the territory are determined to signify in every way possible their desire for re- form in the federal mining laws. The candidates ou the Republican and Democratic tickets are able men, of high standing ia their own commmi- tics. aud nearly all the voters ot Alas sa doubtless have partisan affiliations, yet rbe voters threw partisanship to .uo four winds and gave stunning ma.ur.G.- .u henomuyes of miners associations. neither O. whom had a wide aya.a.a,wcc.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.--The bill reducing
the duty on Philippine products will be
the regular order of business in the house
of representatives tomorrow and for sew
eral days thereafter, instead of the state
hood bill as had been previously arranged.
This was arranged because the statehood

recess and is now on the calendar. More

means committee announced that he would
call up the bill when the house met after
the holiday recess and there will be no
reason for delay because of insufficient
notice.
Chairman Hamilton of the committee on
territories has been at the capitol since
Monday and has endeavored to get his
committee together, but il does not seem
likely that a meeting can be held this
week. The statehood bill is In the hands

of legislators. Senator Grady asked that
the minority be given time to decide to
