Appropriations for Alaska

The house committee on military af fairs is prepared to treat Alaska with a fair degree of liberality at the present session. Without having before it the report of Maj. Richardson and bis rec concentrations on the subject, the com- mittee, of it's own motion, inserted in the appropriation bill provisions for the expenditure of S15000O for continu- ing road work in Alaska. It also made provisions in the bill for the eXpendi- ture of the further sum of S75, 900 for the Alaska cable and telegragh lines.
 While these appropriations are lib- eral on their face, they really consti- tute no charge on the federal treasury. ! The people of Alaska pay the bills in both instances. The special taxes levied upon the people of Alaska by the federal government furnish the money for road work, and the commercial earnings of the Alaska telegraph lines are more than sufficient to cover the amount of the appropriation made for the support and the improvement of the telegraph lines in that territory. Those commercial earnings were in excess of S200,000 last year; and, in ad- dition to this, the government had the use of the wires, not merely for mili- tary purposes, but for all other govern mental uses, without cost.
 Congress is in duty bound to make large appropriations for Alaska, so long as it refuses to the people of that terri tory the right of local self-government. While congress retains to itself all of tbe power of legislation for the terri tory, and reserves to the federal gov ernment every detail of administration, it must, as a matter of common fair ness, make decent provision for the territory in appropriations. It must make not merely the necessary pro- visions for the proper conduct of fed eral affairs in the territory, but for such local purposes as are provided for by the people of the organized terri tories when they have control of their local affairs and have power to levy taxes.
 Without any serious question, the people of Alaska are far more compe- tent to handle their domestic affairs than congress ever can be; but SD long as congress insists on running the do- mestic affairs in Alaska, congress must provide the money.-P.-I.

not be Found.
not be Found.

PASCO, Wash, May s.-(SpeciaD-
j. P. Hubrick for many years proml-
nent in Pasco's business circles,
member of several fraternal organiza-
tons and who applied to the city coun-
ell this winter for a street railway
franchise, is APPARENTLY a fugitive from
justice, in the superior court. Hubrick
was convicted of grand larceny few
weeks ago and was out on bonds pend
ing the decision of the supreme court.
Then a second charge was filed
against him, by Prosecuting Attorney
A A. Human recently, charging him
with stealing steel from the Northern
Pacific railway company and with SELL
ing it, When arrested and brought
into court he pleaded not guilty to
the charge. Prosecuting Attorney Hin
man asked that his previous bond be
raised to $1,000 the bond on the second
charge being fixed to that amount.
1t seems that none of the officials
was present at the time, but the i'm
preston is that Hubrick was granted
permits sion to leave the court room to
arrange for bonds, he Being well known
and having resided in Pasco for many
years. Since that time he has not
been seen in Pasco. The sheriff's office
is making every effort to locate him.
When Hubrick was given his liberty
the sheriff was out of town.

Parade of the Finest.

NEW YORK, May S.-The great pa
rade of New York's police took place
today, 5000 men being in the ranks
The line of the procession was plentl-
fully supplied with bands, and the
police were as bright and cheerful
set of men as can be found. The
mounted police attracted the most
eager attention, their sleek, we'll
trained horses with their shining bay
coats and graceful curves charming
all who looked upon them. Their rid
ers also came in for much praise
their skill in handling their chargers
and the erect, graceful poise on the
prancing steeds, aroused many cheers
The sidewalks were packed to witness
the steady marching of the men. The
public was evidently proud of the
Finest" as certainly was Mayor Nc
Clellan, when he reviewed them
Medals were presented for bravery.
