PRESIDENT FAVORS HOME RULE FOR ALASKA

hold the president responsible for the present financial furry, No mention is made to the possibility of the Presi- dent accepting a third term.
 h reference to Alaska the President says:
 reiterate my recommendations of last year as regarding Alaska. Some form of local self-government, which Is simple and inexpensive, should be given che people. It is Impossible for Congress to meet and understand all the little needs of the territory. Road and railway building should be assisted wherever possible; the governor should receive ample appropriation to enable him to at all times cope with lawless- ness, should the same arise, and the sell ing of whisky to Indians should be made felony. Coal land laws should be so changed as to make It possible for individuals and corporations to take up large tracts and develop the same for speculative purposes. There should be another judicial distrlcs and light  houses must at once be established at points along the coast where the same are necessary, and the survey of the coast should immediately be completed. Salmon fshiag occupies quite space iu the messare, and the President says 1t should be taken in charge of by government eep rtment, as at the pres- ent time it ls oclng ruined under im- proper lava.
 The Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition is strongly endorsed and a liberal ap- proprlatlon is requested to be made in order that the exploitation of the cOun- try's resources may be made.

The purpose of the Japanese is to

The Chinese policy of Japan is one OF
