IL is said here that the only reason Why
the news in connection with some of these
railways plans have not been made public
before this is because OF the negotiations
now pending between Russia and Japan.
Though the Russian government Is fully
aware Of the nature Of some OF these plans
and is prepared to acknowledge the dis
position Of the nations OF the world to
keep that empire penned up in the ice
locked haTbors Of the frozen north, never
theless II Is feared by all concerned that a
storm Of indignation might sweep over
that country. which would be dificult for
the car TO arrest prior TO the settlement
OF all diniculties now pending. After these
difficulties are settled Il Is asserted there
need be no alarm over possibilities of in
ternAtional complications.
According to the explanation Just made
by the Russian government itself, the main
points at issue are the Interpretation OF
certain phrases in the treaty OF Ports
mouth which diner in French and English
and the fishery question. According TO this
statement the negotiations are making nor
NAL progress. but Japan has made certain
demands which Russia cannot grant. The
two principal difficulties appear to turn
upon the detailed matter Of the Sungari
river and the dehnation OF fishery rights
The subject matter OF the negotiations had
by no means been exhausted when the
japanese minister. NJ. Motono left fer Paris
a fortnight ago He is expected TO return
to 81. Petersburg the first OF next week
when the negotiations will be resumed and
other problems dealt with. among which
probably the easiest TO be settled will be

ABOUT GOVERNOR HUGHES

The Roosevelt crowd sends out the announcement, joyful mo doubt to the president and his satellites, that Gov ernor Hughes of New York will quit politics at the end of his present term, and will not be a candidate for gover- nor, president OF vice president,
 It k no secret that Gov Hughes has been persona non grata to the presi- den, for long time. In the fall of Ig0t he politely told that none too mod e,, person that he wanted his fight for governor of New York to be Hughes campaign, not a Roosevelt campaign. The president yielded Hughes his sup port because the opposing forces were more di~ta,tetul to him even than a man he could not dominate but there is no doubt that an aversion to Charles E. Hughes at that momcn, began to gcrminate in themiud of the Theodore Roosevelt.
 In the governors remarkable fight against what Roscoe Conkliug would call "abhorreut and forbidden forces" in the state legislature over the public utilities bin the president repeatedly offered ro place the bulIdozing power of the national administration at the command of Hughes. The offer was declined and the governor won without Roo,eyelt's aid. How offensive that wa, to the tremendous cgotjSm of the president Is easy Co imagine.
 Ir was Hotspur who observed that "Two stars hold not their motion in one ,phcre," and the Uo,Spur of American politics cannot abide man who i, considered by many, uS the pru,fdu.. knows, ,o bee much larger sta.m.. intellectually and moru..ythau himself.
 Nevertheless the announcement by treuchvrm,u ot ,ho Eoo~evn,, camp tha, Char.o, r.. uu-he, l, going out of politics may b. only rhe expression of a wish. Ambrose B.erca noted long time ago that Politicians think with th. same thing they hope wi,h'

 Tacoma will be welcomed in Alaska solely because it will bring gcompetiJion, no, because Tacoma is aIuuisttc, for its money grabbers possess no more of that benign quality than their rivals in Seattle.
 Recently the Municipal News of Seattle. edited by an old friend of the the writer of this, averred that the Gateway persisteutIy knocks Seattle. The Gateway has never knocked Seat tle, nor anything pertaining to it eX- cept it's commercial greed and never said anything as vicious of Seattle's numerous local trusts as nearly all the dailies and weekIies of the city are saying constantly.
 Seattle is made up of the same kind of people as any other big American city,-that is to say, of all kinds. Be- cause of its marvellous growth and its geographical situation it has drawn within it's borders a vast aggregation of commercial adventurerS, business and political grafters, professional shysters, and an astonishing medley of fakirs of every sort. But there is a good deal more in Seattle's population.
 In that big, bustling community, along with the grafterS and the rabble, may be found ample representation of the best blood and brains of every American and every civilized foreign state. No brighter men can be found anywhere than in Seattle, and no bet

GIVES KATALLA HARB0R
 CERTIFICATE OF MERIT
Seattle Times Ayers That Safe Port Can Never be rIade at the New
 Railroad Town.

Tee Seattle Times of recent date gives the Katalla "harbor' the follow ing certificate of merit:
 "An object lesson in the futility of attempt to make q permanent harbor at Katalla was given Chief Engineer F. C. Hawkins, of the Katalla Company; recently, and it is probable that in ac- cordance with his. recommendations the receiving port of the Guggenhefm and Havemeyer interests in the Copper River country will be changed to some other place. Hawkins arrived in Seat tie on the Yucatan from Katalla and will make no statement in the case be- fore reporting to the company. Dur ing his stay at Katalla, however, he was an eyewitness to the utter imprac- ticability of attempting 10 use that point as a harbor without the eXpend- iture of millions of dollars for the con structon of break water and other appurtenanceS to make it possible to discharge cargo in all kinds of weather.
 "He saw the Yucatan delayed Sever- al days before she could start to un- load her cargo in lighters, and learned that she was finally forced to return to this city with a part of the cargo of lumber still in her hold. The storms at Katalla have been raging for sever al days and in the open readstead it is impossible to unload freight except at great risk to life and property.
 "Hawkins also witnessed the loss day by day of large sums of money on the charter of the Tampico, which was forced to lay off Katalla eighteen days and finally was obliged to shift to Orca to discharge before proceed ing north to take on cargo of ore.'

Forty years of Alaska under the American flag has exalted the foresight of Seward, the statesman who forced through the purchase of the territory over the protests of ephemeral poIi- ticiaus in congress, and each later year has magnifed the importance of the territory in the resources of the nation. In those forty years ten stars have been added to the Spangled ban ner of the union and one of the next ten will be Alaska.
