HOW HE STANDS.

Now that there is no question of his candidacy for delegate, Judge Wick ersham may naturally be supposed to entertain desire to have his views on questions concerning the.welfare of Alaska, and more particularly in re- gard to popular home government for she territory, made as widely known as possible among the people whose support he desires. In speech made at a public meeting and in which he first announced his candidacy, in re- ferring to the question of territorial government, he is quoted by the Fair banks Tribune, local paper which gives him warm support, as having said;

ever we may say of the liberal appro- priations of the Fifty-ninth Congress, which came to an end year ago, those of the first session of the Six teth lDece mber, 1907, to June, l9OS) were certainly extra-liberal, author ized as they were under circumstances not existing during the Fifty ninth Congress, namely, falling receipts and the. e-.expectation of a deficit. Of the increased expenditures, the War De-
 partment called for one million dollars more than last year, and the navy twenty-one millions more. Pensions aggregated fourteen millions more, and public works seventeen millions. Of the last named amount the sum of eleven millions stands for the addi- tional outlay on the Panama Canal, an item really chargeable to "planto rather than to actual expense ac- count. There is also an increase of three million dollars in the item of l interest, due to the Government pay ment of interest on the Panama Canal bonds. The years reclamation of public lands has cost about thirteen millions, not far from last years fig ures. Indeed. many of the heaviest disbursements are for improvements of permanent nature. The deficit therefore may be more apparent than real Treasury officials claim that the amount of new debt create during the year was only S7,000, 900 in excess of the amount of old debt redeemed,
 in addition to which $S5, 900, 900 was expended in public works of various kinds. Be this as it may-and Treas ury statements suffer from an anti quated system of book-keeping-t the apparent deficit can be trebly cuvered by the Governments cash in the treasury and it's deposits with the National banks. But the continuance of deficit might before long put the Government in a position where, fail ing the necessary economy, the short age would have to be made good by new bond issues or new taxes.

For the fiscal year just closed The United States Treasury reports a nom- inal deficit of sixty million dollars This follows more than correspond ing surplus year ago. The result is due to two causes, decline in re- ceipts and an increase in expenses.
 During the long period following last October's panic, decline both in in- ternal revenue and import taxes was to be expected. An increase in ex- penses was also to be expected in the increase of National obligations, due to new conception of gubernatorial duty, regulation, aRd coptrol. What

English Team Generally Touted

LONDON, July 1.-THE American

day
The official count will not change the
relative position OF any OF these teams,
though the totals may vary slightly.
The shoot was held as a preliminary
TO the Olympic games. The successes
OF the American team were a keen disap-

counted strongly on their marksmen

The official scores are: America, 2.531 j;

did the Americans fail to score the

conclusion Of the match the Yankees
were given a rousing cheer The Crown
Prince Of Sweden, who had been an
interested spectator from the start,
rushed up to Captain Drain. the one

heartily congratulated him. The victory
of the Americans is generally considered

The most remarkable work done by
the Americans was at the S0O-yard
