SITUATION IS COMPLEX


 The Juneau Dispatch says, in effect, if Juneau IS to maintain her prestige in
 Alaska 1t will be necessary for her peO- pie to organize and practice the art of
 fine politics, saying that "combinations
 and wheels within wheels" must be re- sorted to.
 The situation is not nearly so com ple1 as the Dispatch imsgines, If the people of Juneau would lead iu Alaskan affairs they must recognize two things: g) That all all of Alaska does not bor- der upon Gastineau1 channel; @ that there Is one great issue confronting the Alaskan people, one that will occupy the attention of those from all sections of the district, between Nome and Ketchikan, until it is settled, aud set tied right-the question of self-EOvern- ment-and that it will be necessary for them to get on the right side of the question.
 Alaska is growing and developing at a ligbtuiug-uke pace. Already it has other towns that are greater in popula- sion, producing resources and indus tries than Juneau is great iu these. There are two or three communities in which more capital has been invest ed in works, begun last year and to be begun this year, than has been invested iu the country that surrounds Juneau in the last 70 years.
 These people who are settling, devel- opiug and making great this district gre sslf-reliaut Americans who feel their ca- pacity to manage their own affairs aud who understand their rights and have the courage to insist upon having them.
 IFJuueau does not desire to be rele- gated from the grounl floor Oi the great civic structure, that is being evec- ted in the north, to the basement, her citizens must cease to heed the cack- ltng Of the old tory hens in their milst and awaken to a realization of these conditions, and they must work with the remaider of the people of the district to secure that home rule which they are demanding.
 Let Juneauites but realize that they are American citizens, of an American town, iu a great American country, whose citizens have the confidence and courage of Americans, and let them perform their duty in the premises as becomes Amer,cans and men, aud it will be not necessary for them to make combinations, to organize wheels within wheels" or to practice any of the other fine arts of politics Iu order to secure the cooperation of the other towns Of Southeastern Alaska. Let them do that and they will discover that there is DO deep design, nothing selfish or mean, in the fight for terri,o- rial government.
 Nothing would suit Skagway better than 10 work with SD united Southeast srn Alaska for the maintenance Of the Of the oldest section Of the ! district iu a bgger, letter, buster and 'reer Alaska. But Skagwayans are | Alaskaas, Americans, ireemen, before | .hey are secJiouaIists, and when loyalty | O the bigger citizenship and that to the l smaller conflict, they will cling tS the | bigger. This sentiment is the one that ,ests at the touudation of things 1 throughout Alaska, and that is whs l makes the progressive people of the north Of one brotherhood.

DISPOSITION TO COMPLY.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Discussing
the probable method of procedure

fort Of the commission would be to

Dayton, o., Sept. 12.-The work of

incomplete when at 1915 o'clock this
morning an adjournment was taken by
the whole committee until s o'clock.
A few minutes before the time for
the convention to meet the committee

although there was believed to be still
a possibility of a minority report
When Temporary Chairman Herric!1
called the convention to order there
was a general anticipation of warm
session.
Although the question of the state
executive chairmanship had been set
tied at last nights meeting of the
new state central committee, the anti
Dick forces were not entirely ready TO
admit defeat and a continuance of the
contest on the floor of the convention
in some form was looked for by tile
delegates and spectators.
motion was made that Dick be
requested to decline to act as chair
man of the state executive commit
teen and the convention was thrown
into an uproar. The motion was vot-
ed down after Foraker spoke warmly
against 1t.
Governor Harris, who was named
for permanent chairman, was given 0
particularly cordial greeting and made
a brief speech of acceptance.

Uncle Sam Must Settle
the Trouble in Cuba
THAT SEEMS TO BE THE PRES
EMIT SITUATION.
The Determined Attitude of President
Palma Means That Bitter War Must
Come and the Situation Has Gotten
Too Big for Him.

. Y yana, Sept. 1.-THE determinedly
be. u, ent attitude of the government
ha8 = vet brought resumption of
fightK . but everybody believes that
the real war is yet to come. The only
offset to this is the faint hope that
congress may undertake some sort of
negotiation with the insurgents. This,
however, is not likely as congress is
strongly moderate and determined to
stand absolutely by President Palma.
The veterans peace committee,
which has become divided to great
extent, according to the political pref
erences of the men composing it, is
not likely to hold any further meet
ing.
President Palma regards the atti-
tude maintained thus far by President
Roosevelt as entirely correct
The public regards the coming of
the cruiser DesMoines with much
more significance than do the officials
of the government. The most COM
mon expression today is that ire
spective of what is done at present,
the United States must ultimately
solve Cuba's problem.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.
U. s. Administration Endeavoriny to
Get the Facts.

washington, Sept. 12-The critical
situation in Cuba is absorbing the at
tention of the administration to the
exclusion of all other foreign topics,
as indicated by the activity of the
officials in the state, navy and war
departments. The president at Oy-
ster Bay is keeping in close touch
with every development of the revo-
lutionary movement in Cuba and is
in constant communication by wire
with the officials here.
The prime object of the adminis-
tration at present is. to get at the
facts, which is no easy task, In view
of the mass of Indefinite statements
emanating from various quarters.
Particularly ii is desired to know the
precise strength of the revolutionary
sentiment in Cuba and the relative
powers of the government and the in
surgents there. Mr.. Morgan, the
American minister to Havana, Is un-
derstood to be Fastening from Europe,
where he has been on vacation, to
the Cuban capital, and meanwhile Mr..
Sleeper. the secretary of the American
legation at Havana, who is acting as
SHdI56, lS SUPPLYING LllG StdIS CpdII~
ment with a daily bulletin containing
such facts as he is able to gather
there. 1t is realized, however, that
Mr.. Sleeper is bound to accept the
official rendition Of the daily collis-
ions between President Palma's
troops and the insurgents in the field.
He has no means Of securing the reb-
els statements of those same occur
rences, and in the view of officials
here, there is good reason to believe
that the whole truth is not disclos-
ed by either side.

TERRIBLE CONDITIONS.
Officials Are to Blame for Troubles
in Western Siberia.

Krassnoyarsk, Western Siberia, Sept.
l2-Conditions here are becoming un-
bearable. There is terrible corruption
and depravity among those i'm au-
thority which makes the people an
easy prey of the agitators. The peas
antry are an ignorant lot easily amen
able to good or bad Influences, but
all the advices which they get now is
in the direction of lawlessness and
crime. Murders and robberies in the
country and in the city are daily.
almost hourly occurrences. The streets
In krassnoyarsk are unsafe after dark.
Meeting are held daily in the woods
surrounding the city The principal
agitators are Jews, but they are too
clever to be caught The railroad en-
ployes are revolutionary to a man,
bue remembering the awful repres-
sions of General Meller- ZakomelslSy,
who cleared up the Siberian strike last
fall with a ruthlessness that was al
most incredible, they are afraid to
take the initiative. In Siberia the ag-
rarian questions is not pressing as
there is no such land hunger as exists
in Russia proper. The plague of ST.
peIid ~ the Ollcidl HiBHWdyHan WHO
in every station from the lowest to the
highest is corrupt and dishonest
petty tyrant to his subordinates and
the people generally. The Siberian
peasants are not against the emperor.
They make distinction between the
emperor and the government. The for
mer they consider their saviour, the
latter their curse. The dissolution Of
the douma through the reports dinned
into the peasantry by the clergy and
police which made 1t appear that the
assembly refused to cooperate with
the emperor, created little sorrow
among the Muziiks
