CROSS SCANDAL IN
THE FAR NORTH.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-An amaz-
ing condition of affairs. one that reeks
of scandal, is disclosed in a report
made to Secretary Hitchcock of the In
terror Department by Special Agent
Frank c. Churchill concerning the man
agement of the schools and reindeer in
Alaska by the Rev. Sheldon Jackson,
the Commissioner of Education for that
Territory and author of the scheme to
make the natives of Alaska self-sup-
porting by the introduction of reindeer
into their country.
The report on the face of it shows
that the Government imported 20S5
head of reindeer at a cost of approxi-
mateIy $22O,000, which have multiplied
and increased to about 10000 head, of
which the Government owns, -unincum-
bered, less than 2030 head, the rest hay-
ing been "loancd' or given to the mis-
sions of the American Missionary So
ciety, which, according to the report,
has been selling the young to the Gov
ernment for abent $2s head.
Also, it appears that DIR. jackson has
reported having spent thousands upon
a school which, when the agent visited
the site upon which it is supposed to-
have been, erected consisted of a pile
OF lumber.
MANSION ON A sANDsPIE.
And the most astounding statements
made by the agent pertain to the
school at Point Barrow. the farthest
north educational institution in the
world. In a community where there are
zoo people living on a sandspit there
is a Government school erected at a
cost of $6571, although the allotment of
money made for 1T by the Secretary of
the Interior was only $4,000. A dwell
ing erected in the name of the Presby-
terian board of home missions, after
funds had been contributed by the
Government, is occupied by the Rev. s,
f, Springs and wife. He is the local
superintendent of the reindeer, and is
supposed to teach the school, for which
he has been paid $500 a year.
The report says: Besides Mr.. and
Mrs. Springs 1 found at Point Barrow
the Rev. John Fl. Kilbuck and wife.
l was told that DIR. Kilbuck has drawn
a salary at the rate of 900 year and
that he, not Mr.. Springs, has taught
the school during the last year. Mr..
Kilbuck was north to open a school
at Wainwright last year. but the build
ing. like the one at Point Barrow, has
only just been erected"
JACKSON PULL TOO STRONG.
Reports of the Alaska school ex-
travagances have been N the hands oe
Secretary, Hitchcock for months. but,
so far as can be learned, he has done
nothing in addition to what he has
heretofore attempted to do to DR.. Jack
son. He has tried to get rid of the
doctor on many occasions. but his hold
upon the religious bodies Of the coun-
try has been too strong for the Secre-
tary to overcome.
Agent Churchill Ia MS report plainly
intimates that with the doctor the
church interests In the schools and
reindeer business was first and the
Government only a secondary condi-
ton. He still draws $500 year from
the Mission Board in New York. His
Government salary is $500.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

wv AsHINGToN. Aug. 2o.-Ex-
Nv pressions OF sympathy for
NAf suffering Chile have been sent
" by President Roosevelt
through the State Depart
ment to President Exmo Of that coun-
try. The first was sent last night and
read:
His ExceIIency, the President of
Chile, Santfagof In the name of the
people of the United States offer
tribute of sorrow and sympathy to
their afflicted brethren of Chile by
reasOn of the awful disaster that has
befaIlen Valparaiso.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The second was cabled today after
the President had learned more in de-
tail the extent of the disaster. 1t
said:
ExmO, President of Chile, Santiago,
Let me repeat my expression of intense
sympathy and express the shocked
horror this people feels at the appall-
ing disaster that has befaIlen your
great nation. We are following the
news with the most eager and lively
concern.
Substantial expression OF sympathy
from the American people is expected
10 follow. The Red Cross Society has
received a number of urgent requests
for the inauguration of a subscription
for the earthquake sufferers, many of
the writers calling attention 10 the
manner in which foreign countries Of
fered their aid at the time of the dis
aster in San Francisco. In consequence
the officers OF the Red Cross con-
suited with the State Department and
have decided 10 issue an appeal to the
country at large for contributions for
the Chileans who have by this catas-
trophe been deprived of their homes
and temporarily OF their means of
livelihood. 1t is said that the call will
be prepared this evening.
The society is as yet without definite
means OF knowing exactly what condi-
tions prevail in the stricken district.
or the manner of relief best adapted,
but it is intended to start the move
ment and later determine In what
manner the fund collected shall be dis
tributed.
The department has received no di-
rect news from the earthquake center
since yesterday. A dispatch was re-
ceived, however. from Secretary Root
last night which said he was leaving
Buenos Ayres yesterday noon after a
most hospitable reception. He said
that he had heard the news OF the
earthquake, and that in view Of the
terrible calamity in Chile he proposed,
with the acquiescence OF the Govern
ment, TO limit his visit in Chile to a
short call, in which he might extend
the message of coincidence which he
had already cabled from Buenos
Ayres.

matter, the work of building the canal
would never have been begun, or. IL
begun, would have halted. The opposi-
tion to the treaty by which our right
to build the canal was secured; a part
at least of the opposition even now
being made to the ratification of the
Santo Domingo treaty, which is one
more step in the effort to make peace
full and secure the waters through
which the route of the canal leads; the
constant effort to delay on one pretext
and another the actual work on the
canal-all prove how essential it is
that If the American people desire the
Panama canal to be built N speedy and
efficient fashion they should uphold the
hands of those who in the present Con-
gress have so effectively championed
this work
UPBUILDING THE NAVY.
mo less praiseworthy has been the
attitude of this Congress in continu-
ing to build and maintain on a high
plane of efficiency the United States
navy. The country is irrevocably com
mitted to the maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine It Is irrevocably COM
mitted to the principle of defending and
policing the canal route. But it's
championship of the Monroe doctrine
and its announcement of its intentions
as to the canal route would both he
absurd on their face if the nation
failed to do its duty in maintaining
thoroughly efficient navy at as high
point in perfection as can possibly be
attained.
CONTROL OF CORPORATE WEALTH.
Our external affairs are important,
but our internal affairs are even more
important, and no other Congress for
many a long year has. as regards the
betterment of our internal affairs, done
so much and has such excellent work
to its credit. The tremendous social
and industrial changes in our nation
have rendered evident the need of
larger exercise by the national Gov
business use of wealth, and especially
of corporate wealth in interstate bust
ness. 1t is not too much to say that
the course of Congress within the last
few years and the hearty agreement
between the executive and legislative
departments of the nation in taking
the needed action, each within it's own
sphere, have resulted in the nation,
for the first time, definitely entering
upon the career of the proper perform
ance of duty in these matters.
THE MIDDLE COURSE.
'It is a very easy thing to play the
demagogue in this matter. to confine
ones self merely to denouncing the
evils of wealth and to advocate, often
in vague language. measures so sweep
ing that while they would entirely fail
to correct the evils aimed at, they
probably will succeed in bringing down
the prosperity of the nation with

crash But II Is not easy to do as the
present Congress and the Immediate
predecessors have done; that is, sternly
to disregard alike the self-interest OF
those who have profited by the present
evils and the wild clamor of those who
care less to do away with them than
te make a reputation with the un-
thinking of standing in extreme oppo-
sition to them. But shis is precisely
what the present Congress has done.
The previous Congress, by the enact
ment of tho Elkins law and by the
creation of the Department OF Com
nlerce and Labor. including the Bureau
of Corporations, has enabled us to make
great strides in advance along the path
of thus bringing the use of wealth in
business under the = supervision and
regulation of the national Government

sham and pretense to say that the sew

President Roosevelt reviews and ap-
proves the measures taken TO secure
certain rights to wageworkers, includ-
ing The employers liability law and the

REVISION IN GOOD TIME.
OF the tariff, Mr.. Roosevelt says:
I'VE stand unquivocally for a pro-
nomenal industrial prosperity which
we are now enjoying is not lightly TO

last degree foolish to secure here and
there a small benefit at the cost of

pear to the sober business sense of our
people that on the whole. the benefits
to be derived from making such
changes will outweigh the disadvant-
ages; that is, when the revision will

TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS.
Let me add one word of caution.
however. The question of revising the
tariff stands wholly apart from the
question of dealing with the so-called
.trusts-that is. with the control OF
monopoIies and with the supervision OF
great wealth in business, especially in
corporate form. The only way In
which it is possible to deal with those
trusts and monopolies and this great
corporate wealth is by action along the
line of the laws enacted by the present
Congress and it's immediate predeces-
sors. The cry that the problem can
be met by any changes in the tariff
represents. whether consciously or un-
consciously. an effort to divert the
public attention from the only method

Statement to Shippers.


NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-The Consul
General Of Chile at New York today
gave out the following statement:
Now that the proportions of the
catastrophe in Valparaiso are known,
j; is necessary to inform the merchants
in this country that all the consulates
of Chile in the United States and pos
sessions will continue, as customary,
to wise shipments destined for VAL
paraiso. giving the shippers authority
TO land their merchandise at their own
option in Valparaiso or in other ports
Of Chile. It is timely to mention that
outside OF Valparaiso the other ports
OF the republic have not suffered by
the earthquake and will continue as
usual dispatching cargoes. We can
assume that on account OF this dis
aster the importation OF foreign goods
will surely become more active and
probably the custom-hous duties on
certain necessities will be lowered
