Puts lip a GOOd Argument for
 Alaskan Autonomy
AGREES WITH ALASKA CITIZEN
President 0f t6e TanaNa Valley RalIlOad Tells Committee on Territories That AiaSkans Are More Fit for Self Gov erameIt Than Many in tle States.

Speaking before the senate committee on territories at Washington recently. Falcon Jo>Iin, president of the Panama Valley railroad, told a few facts about Alaska and it's people that must have opened the eyes of those legislators who prefer to think that We are a crowd of savage barbarians.
 Mr. Joslin pointed out that while members of both houses were thoroughly acquainted with the conditions in Hawaii. they show lamentablc ignor- ancc of Alaskan affairs, and he considered that they should not ie@islate for Alaska without greater knowledge than they at present possess.
 Mr, Joslin suggested that an assembly partly elective and partly appoirtive should bo form ed, the country being divided for the purpose of election into districts coinciding with the iu- .dicial districts. B~ further ,...--. -s4- lie advent of the TnIto1 States of ticials in the interior of Alaska, law and order had been estab- lished and justice administered with a firm hand, but not harsh ly. He said that a cosmopoli- tan population of Americans, Canadians, and EngliShmen had maintained order on the Yukon for ten or more years before the date of the INlondike discovery in 1~4t. He pointed cut that the inhabitants of Alaska had gained breadth by travel and he stated it to be his belief that if the government of the United States were WithdraWn alto gether the people of Alaska would prove themselves capable of establishing and carrying on government alone.
 As Mr. Joslin pointed out, the people of California established their own government without outside aid, and were admitted to the union on equal terms, with a constitution of their own framing. If California, why not Alaska: Oregon was also cited as an instance of government springing upward from the peo- pie and not descending from above.
 Tt is the inherent right which resides in Americans to govern themselves,' continued MT Joslin, and it was never surrendered to the federal or any other government" Ana pointive government should be inaugurated with great care.
 Questioned as to the owner ship of Alaska, MT. Joslin ex- pressed the opinion that the wealth of this country belonged to the people who were develop ing it and no one else. MT. Jos lin also repudiated the idea that AlaSkanS were not as free from taint of graft as most other Americans and he said that the people of Alaska would elect as good men as any state in the union.
 Taking his evidence through out Falcon Joslin made very good talk for Alaska, and altho he was not so insistent upon eb- solute autonomy as he might have been, it is clear that his evidence had very favorable. eff feet upon his questioners.

About Being a Writer.

The story OF how Hjalmar Hjorth
Boyeson's first book, 'Gunnar," came
to be published is interesting. He
had passed his boyhoOd In his Nor
wegian home, devoted TO the out
doors world, its beauty and It's ports,
skiing, boating, fishing showing
always literary bent. His father told
him that as Norway was so small a
country II he wished to be writer
he should master some one Of the
great languages, English, French Or
German. SO when at 90 Boyeson
came to this country to make his
fortune, he set about 1t to learn Eng
lish thoroughly. In two years he
could write vigorous and forcible
English. He at first edited a Scan
dinavian paper and then became a
teacher. He chanced one day 90
write his name in the isitor's book
at Harvard library, The Librarian
noticed the name and after some chat
begged leave TO introduce him to
Professor Child who was in need of
some translating from Norwegian
Professor Child asked him to trans
late certain poems which he was us
ing in his collection OF ballads, and
advised him as well to make use Of
his literary abilities. Boyeson said
that he had already written some
sketches Of his boyhood. Professor
Child now asked him to his house to
meet w. d. Howells, then editor OF
the Atlantic. He carried his MS. and
both listeners were much impressed
with the clear vivid tales Of Nor
wegian life. The papers were ae-
cepted by Mr.. Howells and the young
authors career assured. He made
friends speedily With Lowell Long
fellow, Henry James ana others, and
the turning point I'm his career was
thus dated from the chance chat nt
the Harvard library But he had
prepared for Il In his years OF boyish
pleasure al home and manly work

Salonika, Turkey, Aug. 2.--Indica-
tive of the political unrest under
even the constitutional government
Instituted by the Young Turks, when
two years ago they dethroned Abdul
Hamid, is the movement now on foot
to give the deposed sultan opportu-
nifty to answer the cruelty charges
made against him by the historian,
Osman Nowri The writer, in his
recently completed work, abdul Ha-
mid, His Life and His Reign" re-
cites what purports to be the facts
in the autocracy of terror that ter
minated in the revolution. In the
book Nowri attacks Abdul Hamid
bitterly
The publication of it's work and
fits receipt by the masses of the Turk
ish people was marked with a disap-
proval that now is beginning to show
itself in open sedition against the
elective parliament of the Young
Turks. 1t is generally believed that
the failure of the new regime TO
bring about greater industrial pros
perity, coupled with this recent at
tack upon the x-sultan, to whom the
masses have always instinctively
maintained their fealty may result in
another revolutionary movement
Still another factor in the plots and
counter-plots, with which the coun-
tr yis seething, is the recurring ru-
NOR that Abdul Hamid is rapidly fail
ing in health. His death at this
time, without having had an oppor-
tunity to reply to Osman Nowri, it is
conceded, would precipitate war.
Since his virtual banishment from
public affairs two years ago, the sui
tan has been silent on the subject of
his alleged cruelty and misgovern-
ment. This silence has given the
supporters of the old rule opportunity
to set afoot counter charges of op-
preston and misgiving in the ranks
Of the Young Turks.

CONFERENCE AT OYSTER BAY.
Loeb There ! esterday, and Pin
81 chot and Garfield Ex-
pected To-Day. .8S


Oyster Bay.aN. y. August 9.--Theo.
dore Roosevelt spent this evening talk
ing politics with William Loeb Jr.,
collector OF the port OF New York. To-
morrow he expects to have a CONFER.
aence with Clifford Plnchot, former
forester, and James r. Garfield, ex
Secretary Of the Interior. They may
not be able to reach Oyster Bay to-
morrow. however. For the past two
weeks Colonel Roosevelt has practt.
cally avoide ID political conferences. Tho
renewal of conferences OF such a nature
is taken as an indication that the ex-
President may be preparing to engage
more actively In politics State and ma
ttonal. although he allowed no such
sintlmatton TO escape his lips to-day. 81
Tonight Loeb spent the night With
his former chief. Before their confer-
sence began Colonel Roosevelt remarked
with "a smile that he ii not know what
they would talk about. When an at
tempt was made later to learn what
had been discussed Colonel Roosevelt
sent word that he had nothing to say
tonight about the matter. but might
say some thing tomorrow.
The N colonel was equally reticenr
about the visit OF Mr. Pinchot and Mr..
Garfield. All three men are umbered
among his oloset friends and most
trusted advisers.
s I4oebsWill Not Talk.
.s, Mr.. Loeb was suggested some time
ago as a possible candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor
I OF New Y York. and Mr., Pinchot's name
has been mentlosed in the same con-
nectlon. II was generally understood
that Mr.. Loeb had determined not to
allow himself to be considered as a
candidate. He was unwilling to say,
Tonight whether his talk with the
colonel had anything to do with thu
$governorship It is regarded as cer-
4 tain, however, that the subject and
consideration Of the policies to be-
advocated by the Roosevelt-H Hughes
forces at thes Saratoga convention
formed the chief topic Of d discussions.
