Alaska in Obedience to De-
partment Orders.

ter to Delegate Wickersham of Alaska

w. p. Richardson, 18th United States

Mai. Richardson's presence in this city
on the alleged ground that he is attempt

Mr.. Wichedsham is opposing "as inimical
to the interests of the people of the ter
tory"
1t is understood that Secretary Dickin-

pose of giving certain desired informa-
ton regarding Alaska, where he has been
stationed for several years, to the War
Department, the Secretary and the con-
sressional committee considering Alaskan
affairs. He will state further 1t is said,
that the business for which Maj Richard
son was summoned to Washington has
not yet been completed and that it is not
deemed expedient to have him leave until
that is done.
The letter will probably include state
ment from Maj. Richardson to the effect
that he had not been engaged in lobbying
before Congress or elsewhere. and that he
has not transcribed his official duties In
any respect.

LOST RACE AND HIS LIFE
AUTOIST KILLED AND WIFE
FATALLY HURT.
Robert C. Tuttle of Hartford Tried

Train.

HARTFORD, Conn, January 29.-Rac-
ing yesterday in his auto against an in
terurban train with the Spring street
grade crossing in Rockville. Conn, as the
goal, Robert C. futile, retired farmer
living in this city, lost and the train
and death won.
For years the Spring street crossing
has been a daily source of peril, though
the state railroad commissioners have
not seen fit to protect it, except by a
small bell, which autoists cannot hear.
Moreover, the tracks are hidden from
pedestrians, and engineers cannot see
the highway until they arrive at the
crossing.
Yesterday morning Mr. and Mrs. Tut
tie left Hartford to purchase some poul-
try from Louis Wiers. whom they found
in Rockville. They were taking him to
his farm when the collision occurred.
Escaped by Jumping.
Wiers, yelling to Tuttle to stop,
sprang from the rear seat and escaped
with cuts on his head and wrenched
back. futile, bent on beating the train,
opened the motor cars lever. One Of
the cylinders began backfiring and the
train struck the automobile squarely,
throwing Mrs. futile twenty-five feet
and Mr.. futile fifteen feet. Mr.. futile
died three hours later at the Hartford
Hospital, and physicians there said Mrs.
futile had but slight chance for re-
covery, though she had regained con
seriousness. Her skull, right jaw, right
elbow and right thigh were fractured
and also she was injured internally.

HONORED PRECEDENT |S
 VIOLATED BY ROOSEVELT

Indiana, but the entire country. Al ter his defeat he did not whine and start a new nationalist party; no, no, but, on the other hand, he retired from his high position, one of the most honored citizens of Indiana. He did not rave over what had happened He accepted the will of the people and was content. After he left the great office he never uttered a word of complaint at the decision of the people and said to an intimate friend: The people know what is best"
 After Harrison came Cleveland in his second term. Many democrats did not like Cleveland, but he won out all the same, the business and the independent vote of New York going for him. Cleveland was elected and his administration speaks for itself. Then, in 1896, Cleveland was beaten by Major Mckinley. Now, what did Cleveland do? Why. he just picked up his White House be- longings and with his dear wife and sweet children domiciled himself at Princeton. N. J. He had not a word to say against the decision at the polls of the people. He was content in the will of the people.
 From the time that he was beaten for reelection he made no speeches, no harangues to the people-in truth "a dignified, conservative and distin- guished citizen engaging in no bitter politics and no wordy contention in or out of his party.

NEW YORK, Nov 2.-When one takes the time to think 1t all over, he cannot help to wonder and be sur prised. if not shocked, at the course of Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt. the only ex-president living. That he should return to this country after a scramble for an office is almost in- conceivable to a sane mind. But Roosevelt has done this. more the pity. and he must stand the hazard of the deed.
 Let me take up all our ex-presi- dents since 1876. Mir.

Arthur. when defeated for a renomination, said good-by to his friends and, like a gentleman, as he was, retired to his home and devoted himself to his books. Then came Grover Cleveland in 1884, and after his defeat in 1888 he made no whine and quietly went into business in 1889. He made no kick or protest. He simply acted the part of a retired statesman.
 In 1888 Gen. Harrison was elected president and in 1893 he went out What did he do? Why, he threw up his hands in a manly way and re- turned to his practice of the law He had no kick. no rebuke for the voters who had beaten him. but courteous and gntlemanly good word to his friends and opponents alike, for Ben Harrison was not only an honor to
