Alaska Governors Report.

Washington.-The interest Of a
of the resources of this vast territory
and in the welfare of its people," with
continued liberal appropriations, for
mails, roads, cables, telegraph extern
sions, lighthouses, buoys, aids to navi-
cation and geological surveys, is be-
spoken by Governor w. B. Hoggatt of
Alaska in his annual report to the sec
retary of the interior.
The governor estimates the popula.
tion of Alaska at 1900, exclusive of
5000 or 1000 people of mixed national
tiles employed in mines, canneries and
railroad construction during the sum-
mer. He reports extensive prospect
ing in the various mining districts and
says that loose methods followed in
stalking claims and maintaining titles
TO placer grounds have caused much
litigation.
The whisky peddler is stated to be
the worst enemy of the natives, but
the earning capacity and desire of the
coast Indians to live as the whites do
are increasing.
The governor recommends revision
of the code of laws, creation of a
fourth judicial division for the part
of Alaska along the coast west of
Yakutat bay and extending inland 200
miles. legislative restrictions of liquor
sales within a five mile radius of any
railroad or other enterprise employ
ing 100 or more men, except in an in
corporated town, development of coal
lands and amendments to the laws
governing placer locations.

While Mayor Speer feels that the

for the Democratic national conven-
tion without the night work, he is TAX

corroborates Orchards Testimony.

Boise, Idaho.-New and damaging
testimony was presented by the state
Thursday in the trial of George A. Pet
tibone for the murder Of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg. Charlie Neville, seven
teen years old. son of John Neville,
whom Orchard said he was directed
by Meyer to kill because he knew
too much," was the chief witness, tell
ing of his hunting trip with his father
and Orchard.
The night of the Independence depot
explosion, he said, Orchard left their
camp early in the night and did not
return until dawn, corroborating Or
chards testimony on that point. When
the trio went to Denver, young Ne
vile said, he and his father went to
Pettibone's store and his father had
a long talk with Pettibone, parts of
which he overheard.
"Then will squeal," was one OF the
remarks he said he heard his father
make. They also went to Western
Federation headquarters, he said. and
his father had long talk with
man whom he did not know and could
not identify.
Young Neville was not witness In
the Haywood trial. He was brought
to Boise but was not placed on the
stand.

Itinerary Of the Fleet.

Washington.-"The program for the
return of the battleship fleet is a mat
ter that has been discussed among the
officials Of the Navy Department, but
no decision has been reached and will
not for some time to come" said Sec
retary Metcalf.
The secretary's remark was called
out bya wireless message from the flag
ship Connecticut stating that Admiral
Evans had authorized the Associated
Press to say that it vas his personal
belief that the Navy Departments
present intention is to have the battle
ship fleet return by way of the Suez
canal next summer or fall. AS the
President, through Secretary Loeb. pre-.
viously had spoken to the same effect,
1t seems clear that Admiral Evans
statement was not suggested by any
definite movement so far as deter
mined upon by those supreme in au-
thority.
In naval circles the opinion prevails
that at most only a squadron composed
of such vessels as the voyage to the
Pacific shall have demonstrated to be
"the pick of the fleet" will be sent
home through the Suez canal, while
the remainder will take the shorter
route by way Of the horn.

Philippine Tariff Bill.

Washington.-The Philippine tariff
bill, on which hearings will be begun
by the house committee on ways and
means during the first week after the
reconvening of Congress after the holi
days, is similar to the measure intro
duced by Representative Payne and
passed by the House during the last
Congress and which admits to the
United States free of duty articles
wholly the product Of the Philippine
islands except sugar, tobacco and rice,
on which duty amounting to twenty.
five per cent Of the present rate is pro
vided for.
AS was the case two years ago. 1t is
expected thore will be strong opposi.
ton to the bill on the part Of the Amer
lean sugar, tobacco and rice interests.
The bill failed to pass the Senate dur
ing the last Congress and Il 10 known
that II will again encounter strong op-
position there.

DENVER INTERSTATE FAIR.
Colorado Industrial Exposition Asso-
ciation Incorporated.

Denver-With the fling of articles
Of incorporation by the Colorado In
dustrial Exposition Association an an
n"al interstate fair for Denver is as
sLred. The question OF permanently
locating an interstate fair and exposi-
ton in Denver has been agitated by
the chamber Of commerce and by a
number of citizens for the past five
years, but the proposition has Just
been consummated by the action of
the stockholders at a meeting held in
Denver last Friday evening.
The officers elected to carry out the
plans are: G. e. Stubs, president;
John w. Springer, first vice president;
c. MacA. Wilcox. second vice presi-
dent; Julius A. Myers, treasurer;
Hiram e. Hits, secretary.
The board of directors chosen to
manage the affairs of the association
for the first year is as follows:
Charles Boettcher, Charles MacA.
Wilcox. Thomas Keely, Julius A.
Myers, G. Albert Wahlgreen; A. D.
Lewis, Thomas F. DAILY, Henry M. Por-
ter, Horace w. Bennett, John w.
Springer, Charles E. Stubbs, w. A.
Hover and Samuel N. Dutton.
President c. e. Stubbs was asked to
outline the purpose of the organiza-
ton and to state some Of the advan-
tages Of the annual interstate fair and
exposition, which it is proposed to
hold in Denver. Mr.. Stubbs said:
"The advantage of q first class in
terstate fair and exposition to Colo
RADIO are inestimable. 1t will be an
educator and each year Of its exist
ence will in the future be regarded as
mile stones marking the development
Of agriculture, horticulture, mining,
stock raising, manufacturing and, in
tact, the development of every other
Important industry in our state. There
Is nothing which can so clearly por-
tray the resources of Colorado and
the territory tributary to Denver, as
An annual state fair and exposition.
1t will furnish to the people who are
Interested in the West object lessons
Of our Importance as an agricultural
and mining state and of our unlimited
resources, which are here awaiting the
energy of man to develop them.
THE fair and exposition will bring
to Denver 100000 people every fall and
fill her splendid hostelries to over
flowing. When the visitors to our
state realize the great inducements
which Colorado offers 10 the home
seeker 1t is reasonable to suppose that
a large per cent of them will take ad-
vantage Of the situation"

FIST FIGHT IN CONGRESS.
Between Williams Of Mississippi and
Do Almond Of Missouri.

Washington.-The spirit Of rivalry
that for five years has alternately
smoldsred and blazed between John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi, leader
of the minority, and David A. De Ar
mond of Missouri, eliminated in a
fistic fight Thursday on the floor OF
the House Of Representatives.
The blows of Representative De
Almond caused blood to flow down the
face of Representative Williams and
only the forcible Intervention Of
friends cut the combat short.
Mr.. DeArmond bore away scuffed
nose.
Mr. Williams struck the first blow
and Mr.. De Almond retaliated vigor-
ously with clenched fists. When the
combatants were separated blood was
flowing down Mr.. Williams face from
a small cash in the left cheek and his
forehead was red and abrazed.
The encounter was witnessed by
more than 100 members of the house
and by as many more persons in the
galleries. among them score of
women.
While the battle lasted the excited
spectators In the galleries pressed
against the rails. Men and women
leaned far over, apparently holding
their breath as blow after blow was
struck and returned and the combat
ants lunged forward and swayed back.
When Mr. Williams was released he
went Immediately into cloak room
and while removing the stains Of the
combat said:
'The disagreement arose over a COM
mittee assignment. Mr.. De Almond
called me to task for recommending
his colleague, Mr.. Booher. to no more
prominent committee than that on
coinage, weights and measures. He
charged me with lack of veracity.
then struck him and we exchanged
blows. 1t is most regrettable that the
floor should be selected for such an
affair.""
According to Mr.. De Almond, the
episode arose over the correctness Of
q conversation between himself and
Mr.. Williams about ten days ago re-
garding the committee assignments Of
some Missouri members, and particu-
larly Of Mr.. Booher. Upon Mr.. De
Almonds insisting that he had not
specified any committee to which he
desired to have his colleagues as
signed, Mr.. Williams, he said, brusque-
ly replied that it was simply a mat
ter Of recollection between the two.
He said this" said Mr.. De Almond,
~in such a way as to leave no other
inference than the one l suggested,
and l told him 1 believed him to be a
liar. He thereupon struck me and
think I gave him as good as he gave.

rated"

STARVING SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Bitter Want Among Pupils in the City
of Berlin

Berlin.-The municipality is face to
face with serious problem in connec-
tion with the supply of food to thou
sands of virtually starving children at
tending the primary schools in conse-
quence of industrial inactivity.
Hitherto the Children's Canteen So
ciety has been able to cope with the
task in fairly satisfactory way by
means Of subscriptions from private
sources, but the calls on its funds
are this year SO great that it will be
unable to supply many Of the chill
dren.
In the first week of December, ac-
cording to official statistics from 245
out of 285 primary schools, no fewer
than 11,947 children attended school
in most cases without breakfast and
in all cases without the prospect of
obtaining a midday meal at home. OF
these, 2,498 receive a simple meal
from the fourteen canteens belonging
to the above mentioned society; the
other 7,449 are totally unprovided for.
The question of the city's RESPONSE
bility for the children has now been
raised by the Socialists in the muni-
cipal council, who propose that the
council should in future undertake the
task. The society will be able this
winter to dispose of the sum of So
421.50 and this will be all taken up
by the provision of meal a day to the
4,49S children already on its books.
Altogether for the feeding of the
10000 starving little ones during the
winter 37,500 will be necessary, and
the council is to be asked to vote
100000 to make up the amount re-
quired and place it at the disposition
of the society for administration.
This course is suggested in order
to obviate the loss of civic rights en-
tailed by the children's parents should
their offsDrings be derelict or fed by
the authorities. Parents who do not
send their children to school are fined
unless they can give medical authority
for keeping them home. Therefore
poor parents send children to school
even though foodless and miserably
clad.
