Several hundred people, citizens of Ketchikan and vicinity gathered at the hall last evening to listen to Del osate James wickersham talk on the political and industrial conditions of Alaska,
 Mir. wickersham spoke of the chief events in AIaska's history in a gov crnmental way-the acquisition of system of courts in 1884. when Ben lamin Harrison drew the first organ ic act for Alaska: the passing Of the Alaska penal code in 1899; and in 1900 of the increase in the number of Alaskan courts from one to three and the appointing of a governor He spoke of the district of Alaska be- coming the territory of Alaska-a ma ter settled by a supreme court ruling and defined what constitutes repre- sentative government In this con rection he pointed out that Alaska las two brauches-the executive and Inc judicial and lacks the legislat. i've branch.
 He said he is strongly in favor of congress giving Alaska a territorial legislature with all the powers that sre conferred upon such a body. When that is obtained, said he, AL aska will have all it can expect un- tu the time comes for it to be a state with a constitution.
 Touching upon the speech of Presi- dent Taft in Seattle opposing home rule for Alaska, and incidentally auuding to the telegram signed by sixteen Alaska newspapers and the mayors of eight of the principal cities of this territory, Mir wickersham said:
 "Tbe president turned us down, He is not in favor of home rule for Alaska yet because he says the pOpu- lation is migratory and too small, and said other things that were dis appointing to our people. Last spring he told me practically the same thing. therefore was not quite as disappointed. perhaps, as some of the rest of you"
 Mir. wickersham told of his looking up the populations of the territories in Washington last spring He found that Nevada, with its congressman and two senators, has a population of l2.OOO. counting the Indians, while Naska's population, counting its Indians. is upwards of SOOOO.
 The president has been systema- dcally misinIormed about us" he charged. He, no doubt, thinks that We go about with six-shooters strannad To ns- like AlkaM Ike-wiLh

WHAT WIGkERSHAM SAID
 IN KETGH.HAN SPEECH

I guns and cigarettes. The president has been industriously mislnformed. When he made his spiel in Seattle, they raised a fuss about him that he will not soon forget. He does not care about Alaska because Alaska can't vote; But we have friends in Washington who can
 Mir. wickersham spoke of the var ious agricultural exhibits which were sent East and said;
 Send pictures of gardens and newspaper clippings and other evil dence of the fertility of the country, You can do as much as l can and pro bably more. want help, Write something to the senators and con gressmen from the districts in which you used to live,
 Mir. wickersham asserted that near ly eleven million dollars worth of fish were taken from these waters and the only returns made to the territory were the affidayits that a few million salmon fry had been turned loose. The caunerymen, he said, brought hundreds of Japanese and Chinese coolies up here for few months and robbed the water of its product and made no returns.
 He warned the people that the coun try was being exploited in the inter est of corporations and in order to stop further ravages we must pass corrective laws, and that could be done only through local legislature
 Referring to the matter of taking the census at this time, the delegate called 1t unjust to Alaska and absolu- tely unlawful. Congress had passed a bill only a year ago, specifying that the census shall be taken on the fif- teenth day of April. He read section 20 of that bill and showed that the present illegal census was forced by the anti home rule people for the purpose of giving Alaska blackeye. Mir. Wickersham had wired the sec retary of commerce and labor pro, testing against the outrage, but had received no reply.
 Much of the time of tue speaker was devoted to a consideration of the bin for a territorial legislature. He showed that the entire expense would be borne by the federal government as judicial expenses are borne, and gave figures to demonstrate that Pres ident Tafrs proposed commission would cost the federal government more than a legislature. He analysed . the powers of the legislature as fix ed by the bill and explained many of its provisions in detail.-Ketchikan Miner.

TRAINMEN DEMAND INCREASE
ALI Lines on Atlantic Side of Chicago
to Be Involved.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Demands for uni
form schedules and wage increase of
about II per cent are to be made by
conductors and trainmen on every rail
road system east of Chicago. The
movement involves 125, 900 men, and in
cludes every railroad east of the Hi
nois Central's main southern line and
north of the Chesapeake 6 Ohio Rail
road. 1t is said to be the most stu
pendous wage movement ever made by
the railroad brotherhoods, and has been
under consideration two years. There
are hints tonight that all western rail
roads will be drawn into the struggle.
Incident to the eastern demands, the
switchmen and yardmen in Chicago,
who are controlled by the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, are asking a
wage advance of cents an hour.
Eighteen of the large trunk lines
with terminals in this city were served
with notice November 2. Under exist
ing contracts 80 days notice must be
given by either side of contemplated
change in wages or working conditions.

ARMED FORCE SENT.
Dominion Officials Will Suppress Indian
Uprising.

Victoria, B. c., Nov. 12.-Ten con-
stables, with arms and ammunition for
20 more. have started from Prince Ru-
pert by special steamer for beleaguered
Hazelton, intending to ascend the
Skeena as far as navigation is possible
and thence take the trail. An expedi-
tion of so more is expected to be sent
up Mas river and overland 60 miles.
These reinforcements will be immedi-
ately supplemented, if necessary, by a
redespatched force consequent upon pc
titions telegraphed Premier Mcbride,
headed by Indian Agent Loring and
signed by % leading Hazeltonians. The
petitions declare the Indians are out of
hand and the police forces utterly in
adequate to meet the situation.
"a petition signed by every man in
the country" says the document, "was
forwarded to Victoria six months ago
asking that large force of mounted
police be placed in the district in an
ticipation of trouble with the closing
of navigation.'
Pending arrival of reinforcements, no
effort will be made to continue the trial
of the captured chiefs.

WORKING FOLK LOSE JOBS.
New Beer and Tobacco Taxes Cause
Hardship in Germany.

Berlin, Nov. 15.--Not only is the la
Dor market suffering from the reduc-
tion of work in the cigar and cigarette
trade as a direct result of the new
taxes, but similar depressions are gain
ing ground in other industries, espe-
ciallv in that of brewers. There is
every reason to believe that the de-
preston will become more acute within
the next few months, and that the
Reichstag will be called upon to vote
for a further sum for the relief of the
workless factory hands, as the 100000
pounds sterling already voted for this
purpose is quite insufficient.
The brewers having put up the price
of beer in consequence of the new
taxes, the result has been a consider
able decrease in the consumption, ag-
gravated by a boycott organized by
the Social Democrats. AS result of
this, workmen have been discharged,
and if the boycott continues the num-
ber of dismissed hands will increase.
In August the average number of APP
plicants for a hundred open situations
in the brewing trade was 3Os higher
than in any other industry. In Wur-
temberg the number of applicants
showed the maximum of 3S5.

FOURTEEN ARE KILLED.
British Columbia Electric Trains Crash
at High Speed.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 1.-Four-
teen dead nine injured. two fatally, is
the net result of a collision between a
runaway freight car, lumberladen and
a crowded interurban passenger coach
on the British Columbia Electric Rail
ways Ike near here early Wednesday
morning.
The dead and injured are mostly
working men. They were bound for
the carbuilding shops at New Westmin-
ster to begin their daily toll.
The passenger ear left Vancouver at
$50 clock. Just ahead of it was an
electric freight train, the rear car of
which was loaded with heavy bridge
timbers. At the top of a steep grade
three miles out of the city the lumber
car broke from the freight and started
on wild run down the hill. The pas
senger train was not more than a quar-
ter of a mile behind, but curve at
the foot of the grade cut off a view of
the track ahead. just as the passen-
ger train rounded this turn the run
away lumber car dashed into view.
None of the passengers escaped unin-
-jured. Those who were not killed or
manned when the first crash came
We're caught under the heavy timbers
falling from the freight car and crushed
70 death or suffered broken bones.

RUSSIAN LABoRERs SOUGHT.
Board Imports Them for Hawaiian
Plantations.

Honolulu, Nov. 12-The territorial
board of immi grafton will soon send an
other agent to Harbin, the metropolis
of southeastern Siberia, to get Russian
immigrants for Hawaii. This will be
the second representative of the terri
tory to go to Siberia to induce Russian
immigrants to come to the Hawaiian
islands.
In trying to solve the labor problem
for the sugar plantations, the board of
immigration has experimental with
Spaniards, Portuguese. Porto Ricans.
South Sea Islanders. Chinese and other
nationalities. Many of these became
dissatisfied after their arrival here and
in time found their way to the states.
About so Russian families are now
on their way to Honolulu and if these
prove satisfactory as plantation labor
ers. others will be sent for.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. 6.
READJUST COAST RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commissioners Re-
turn to Washington.

Washington, Nov. 9.-When Inter
state Commerce Commissioners Clarke
and Cockrell arrive in Washington to,
morrow morning all the members of the
commission will have returned from a
trip that will probably result in a com
plete readjustment Of freight rates in
the far west.
Growing out Of the now famous Spo-
kane rate ease, in which the shippers
of the inland empire claimed radical
reduction Of rates on commodities both
from the east and the Pacific Coast,
the cases now under consideration com
prise a list of more than 100. These
inland cities allege unjust rates from
the east and from the Mississippi River
points in particular. They claim that
rates to the Pacific Coast are much
cheaper for a much longer haul and
ask reductions.
The decision in the Spokane rate
case, which, it is believed, will be fol
lowed in all other cases, was based on
the theory that the railroads conten-
tion that water competition toward the
coasttrates was correct.
All complaints that have been filed
since the Spokane differences have
been based ON the allegation that the
rates in themselves were unreasonable.
1t is not likely that decisions in any
of the cases will be handed down until
early in January.

NAPoLEON'S FLAG IS FOUND.
Great Warriors Invention Exhibited
at Paris Army Museum.

Paris, Nov. j.. - Lord Archibald
Campbell has presented to the Army
museum here a curious relic of Ma
poleon. This is the flag which the
latter flew in the Isle of Elba during
his captivity there.
General Niox, custodian of the muse
um, has placed it in one of the rooms
where it can now be seen. The flag,
which seems to have been entirely in
vented by Napoleon, although some
say that it was in part suggested by
that of Cosmo del Medici, former
sovereign of the island, is rather a
strange standard. 1t is square, white
and fringed with gold, bearing three
golden bees and diagonal scarlet
stripe. The staff carries a white and
scarlet scarf, having also three golden
bees.
Napoleon does not seem to have used
the flag he invented elsewhere than IN
the Isle of Elba, where he was de-
throned and captive monarch.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 10.-The state
board of health has issued a decree
against the roller towel, and that time
honored appendage to the country news
paper office and the country hotel Will
have to 60 in Kansas. The roller towel
is the most dangerous thing that the
public comes in contact with, the Kan
sas health inspectors claim. The in
spectors say that infectious diseases are
conveyed through the roller towels used
in hotels, railway stations and office
buildings.

MOB LAW RULES.
Illinois Rioters Lynch Two Men
Charged With Murder.

Cairo, H., Nov. 12.-With two men
lynched by an angry mob, another in
imminent danger and the streets filled
with wild-eyed men thirsting for more
blood, Cairo, after a sleepless night of
murder and riot, waited anxiously to-
day for the hundreds of soldiers that
are on the way to quell the mob, at the
orders of Governor Deneen.
Will (Froggy) James, negro, con-
fessed murderer of Annie Pelley, was
hanged, riddled with bullets and burned
last night, after a thousand determined
men had chased Sheriff Davis and the
negro for "a hours and seized the pris-
oner.
Henry Salzner, white, held for wife
murder, later was taken from steel
cage in the county Jail and hanged and
shot by the infuriated men, who, up to
that time had been unsuccessful in cap
turing Arthur Alexander, a negro, i'm
plicated by James as an accomplice in
the Staying of Miss Pelley.
Alexander was at last found by the
police, who succeeded in eluding the
mob by a ruse.
Although the horrors of a race war
had not broken out during the night,
peaceable citizens had begun to fear
that a repetition of the Springfield
riots of last year was imminent. AT
Springfield two negroes were lynched,
four other persons killed and 90
wounded.
With the arrival today Of armed
troops it is believed that further riotipg
will be avoided. The 1000 men roaming
the streets, up until daybreak had ac-
cess to many saloons which remained
open all night. Mayor Parsons and
the chief of police were unable to close
the saloons, because they were shut up
at home by the mob. Soldiers of the
Cairo militia finally went to guard the
homes of the municipal officers and
kept the rioters in some restraint.

PEARL HARBoR PLANS WIN.
Hawaii Naval Station to Be Greatest
in Pacific Ocean.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The president
has approved the recommendation OF
the joint army and navy board for
making Pearl harbor, in the Hawaiian
Islands, the greatest naval station in
the Pacific. In doing this, it was oon-
sdered that a temporary naval station
only would be constructed at Oiongapo,
and that the proposed improvement in
Manila harbor would be abandoned.
This will leave the protection of the
ports to the army.
The determination to minimize the
fortifcation in the Philippines and to
make Pearl harbor a great naval sta
tion was not because of any intention
OF withdrawing American control from
the islands. 1t was purely strategical,
it was said. For years fierce contro-
versy has been waged as to whether
the principal fortifcation in the Phil
ppines should be located at Olongapo
or Cavite The naval officers favored
Olongapo and the army Manila bay.
The big floating dock is now at Olon-
gapo, and under the present plan will
be retained there.
