ALASKA DELEGATE
HOUSE and SENATE CONfEREES
AGREE ON BILL.
Main Points of the Cushman Bill
are Made Part of the Com
pleted Measure-Nelson Made
Hard Fight for Adoption Of
His Phraseolegy.

Washington, April 24.-The Alaska
delegate bill will probably be reported
back to the senate and house Wednes-
day. A complete agreement has final
" been reached in conference commit
tee of the two houses, and a report
would have been made yesterday had
not the house adjourned over until
Wednesday.
The report of the conference is the
defeat of the Nelson bill and the adop-
ton of the substantial features of the
Cushman- bill. The long delay has
been caused by the attitude of Senator
Nelson, who wished the credit for the
pending legislation.
Qualification of Voters.
One of the most important features
of the bill as agreed upon in the con-
ference committee is the section relat-
ing to the qualification of voters. The
revised section is substantially that
of the Cushman bill, and reads as fol-
lows:
'Section 8. That all male citizens
of the United States, 81 years Of age
and over, who are actual and bona
fide residents of Alaska, and who have
been such residents continuously dur
ing the entire year Immediately pre-.
ceding the election, and who have
been such residents continuously fol
the thirty days next preceding the
election in the precinct in which they
vote, shall be qualified to vote 70, the
election of delegate from Alaska.
Might Be Read Literally.
Representative Cushman believes
that there is an essential difference
between residents continuously" and
Continuously resident is, he
thinks that Continuous resident
will be construed to mean any person
who has lived in the locality at least 9
year before the election, even if be
has spent part of the time visiting
in the states. The term Continuously
resident might be construed more
literally and less equitably.
According to the bill as agreed or
in conference, the election returns
will be canvassed by board consist
ing of the governor, surveyor general
and collector Of customs, instead Of
three federal judges. 1t was thought
inadvisable to place additional non
judicial burdens upon tho judges, al
was proposed by the Nelson bill.
The first election will be held OF
the second Tuesday of August of this

Travellers who go to pay their respects
to the Emperor Menelik find 1t difficult
to realize that they are doing the right
thing in riding mules while their serv-
ants bestride horses with fine long tails.
The little donkeys Of North Africa
also enjoy certain consideration. Per
haps the queerest use they were ever
put to was at Tangier, when the Brit
ish minister imported billiard table.
There are no wheeled vehicles Ia Tan
.gier, nor, 1t is believed, anywhere In
Morocco, unless we except the Sultan's
cycles. So the only way to bring the
table up the steep, tortuous streets
from the landing stage to the legation
was on donkey back. Sixteen donkeys
groaned beneath 1t, completely hidden
from view, and It seemed to be crawl
ing about of its own accord. The .Aoors
declared that It was new kind Of
Afrit-evil spirit-and were almost
moved to Instruction.
Every one has lurking desire to be
drawn by an unusual team. This ac-
counts for the popularity Of goat car
riages by the seaside, as they cannot
be amusing of themselves, seeing that
they go at a snail's pace, and you are
not allowed to drive. The same thing
may be said of elephant rides at the
Zoo.
A friend of the writer's imported
pair of zebras, and succeeded In break
ing them In for driving in the country.
but they were always source Of anx-
iety.
One OF the illustrations here given
represents 1.-THE first trained ostrich in
the United States" At the Jardin
d'Acclimation In Paris little ostrich
cars are let out at ten cents drive.
There are also zebra carriages there
at the same price. Ostriches are GER
tainIy not easy creatures to break In
to harness, for they have decided
will Of their own.
In the great Indian city OF Bombay
one may see plenty OF native carts
drawn BY oxen. and an enterprising
gentleman at Leicester, England, not
long ago, utilized the idea for car
nival and won prize for very pretty
little chariot decorated with flowers

WASHINGTON STATE
RESPONDING NOBLY

Olympia, April 23.-For the last few
days Gev Mead has been condcuting
a sort of San Francisco relief bureau
Of his own, with most excellent re-
suits. On Thursday he kept in touch
with the commercial bodies of the
state which were undertaking the
raising of funds in the larger cities,
and quickly determined that they were
able to take care of themselves.
Therefore, on Friday he began q tele-
graphing campaign. addressing per-
sonal friends and mayors of smaller
towns of the state, urging the raising
OF funds for the relief of the earth
quake sufferers. Since Friday morn
Ing he has sent kilograms of this char
acter to sevent-eight towns in the
state, and in almost every instance he
has had response. In some of the
towns it is apparent that only the i'm
petus OF personal appeal was needed
to start the relief work moving.
Mead Advises Pardee.
As the result of his inquiries up to
Saturday night. Gov. Mead was able
70 send the following dispatch to Gov.
Pardee:
Entire state of Washington re-
spending to call for aid for California.

Apparently Mayor Mcclellan of
New York is taking the bits in his
teeth, and is ignoring the guiding
hand of Murphy, the political jock
ey Of Tammany Hall. In his new
appointments he has passed up
the Reorganization" men, and there
is not a Tammany Hall district
leader in the entire list. The am
bitions of Mcclellan now extend to
the gubernatorial chair, and he re-
allies that he must do something
to refute the charge that he is a
child of Tammany if he would re-
alize his am bition.

The Capital.

1t is not generally known, says the
Philadelphia Record, but it is a fact Of
history nevertheless that Bristol town
ship, lying on the east side of German
town, had a very narrow escape from
being selected as the site Of the capital
Of the United States. 1t WAS very
small matter that turned the choice to-
ward Maryland and Virginia. SO posi-
tive were some members Of congress
that the capital was going to be located
near Germantown that they purchased
real estate there, not, of course, as a
matter Of speculation, but simply to be
near at hand when the removal from
Philadelphia to Bristol took place
When the vote Of the commissioners
was taken there was a tie, four being
for Bristol and four for the District OF
Columbia. Washington cast the decid.
ing vote, and Bristol township was LETT
out in the cold

The republican state central
committee meets in Sioux Falls to-
day to determine the place for hold
ing the next state convention. The
new caucus law provides that the
state conventions of all of the po-
litical parties shall be held on the
first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in June, which this year will
be June 4th. The law also fixes
the representation and other mat
ters affecting the primaries, so the
committee will have little to do ex-
cept to designate the place of meet
ing.

The retail merchants of the coun-
try seem to be waking up to the
fact that something more is needed
to defeat the catalogue houses than
an appeal to the consumers to sup
port home institutions regardless
of cost. 1t is very apparent that
if the local merchants can not sell
goods as cheap as the catalogue
houses, or if they can, and do not
let people know it, that the cata-
logue houses will continue to get
large share of the trade. A move
ment is now on foot among South
Dakota merchants to organize q
company with $4O,OOO,OOO of New
York capital behind it, for the pur-
pose of making a fight against the
catalogue houses. This company
will furnish goods to the local mer-
chants as cheap or cheaper than
the catalogue houses can furnish
them. Each merchant will be sup
piled with catalogues which he can
distribute among his customers,
giving prices of articles in his line,
and the goods will be on exhibi-
ton in his store. There are sever
al features of this plan that look a
little visionary, but it may be made
to work, and if it does it will be a
good thing for the local merchants
and consequently for the small
towns.

The fight between Selby and
Bangor for the possession of the
county seat of Walworth county is
now taking a unique turn. After
the vote was taken Selby claimed
the victory, and under an order
from the circuit judge a crowd Of
citizens went to Bangor and took
the court house, records and all,
and moved them to Selby. Later
the supreme court reversed the de-
cision of the lower court and the
court house had to be returned to
Bangor. Now the citizens of Sell
by are taking steps to extend the
limits of their town by adding q
strip two rods wide and five and
one. half miles long, extending to
Bangor and taking in the present
site of the court house.

The state auditor has our thanks
for a copy of his annual report for
1905.

A joint meeting was held at
Mitchell last week composed Of
representatives from the state an-
ti-saloon league, the state prohibi-
ton party and the w. 9. T. U. for
the purpose of making a. united
effort to have the present license
law amended so as to permit coun-
ty local option. In some counties
it is possible that with the rural
vote no license might be carried
where the town vote would favor
license, but how would the change
affect the enforcement of the law?
Unless the rural voters are as in
strumental in enforcing the law as
they are in voting the change
would be detrimental to the ends
sought after, and experience under
state prohibition showed that they
were not.

A percentage law should be en-
acted that would give our state in
stltutions permanent endow-
ment. The schools then would NO
longer be utilized as weapons to
further the interests of unscrupu-
lous politicians whose personal in
terests are constantly being placed
ahead Of our highest institutions.
That such condition exists is as
certain as it is shame and dis
grace.-SpringGeld Times.
The purpose of Bro. Glasner to
remove the state schools as far as
possible from political manipula-
tion is commendable. But would
the plan suggested accomplish the
end +? The changing condition oI
each school would require constant
changing in the percentage Of the
tax for its maintenance, and q
change of percentage would require
the same kind of political manipu
lation as a change in tie amount
of direct appropriation.

We confess that we can not work
ourselves into Mysteries over the
fact that the state capitol commit
tee has been investigating the quail
ity and price of stone from quar-
ries outside of our state limits.
The stone produced in this state is
good enough, but the number Of
quarries is limited, and if through
spirit of sentimental pride the
committee should be forced to deal
exclusively with these quarries
there is an opportunity for extor-
tion in prices. It is stated, on
how good authority we are unable
to say, that from the prices quoted
the cost of South Dakota stone
would be double that of the Bed
ford, Ind, stone, laid down in
Pierre. If the prices are approx
mately equal, by all means the
South Dakota stone should have
the preference. State pride is a
good thing, but we can not afford
to purchase it at exorbitant prices
The state board of charities and
corrections met with the same diff
fculty in purchasing supplies fol
the penal and charitable institu
tions until they opened the compe
tition to outside bidders, and they
have since been able to purchase
from home dealers at reasonable
prices. The same results may fol
low in the purchase of stone fo'
