FIND AN EMPIRE.
Wickersham and Nagel Are Surprised
at Alaska

Cordova, Alaska, SPIT. 2-Attorney
General George w. Wickersham and
Secretary of Commerce and Labor Chas.
Nagel sailed for Seattle today on the
government steamer Albatross on the
last leg of a trip through Alaska that
has occupied more than a month of their
time. The Albatross is due at Seattle
Monday. Both said they were unable
to express their surprise at the wonder
full things they have seen in Alaska.
I'VE came to see little place called
Alaska but discovered an empire" said
Attorney General Wickersham. Il re-
alize more and more the importance of
opening the coal lands and after we
have a talk with the president he may
have some recommendations that will
result in Strengthening out the present
tangle. The one great necessity of
Alaska is railroad transportation as
upon it depends the adequate develop
ment of Alaska's mines and agricul-
ture lands.
1T is evident that this transportation
cannot be furnished until the coal lands
are opened up. for cheap coal is requir-
er to operate a railroad. 1 am in hopes
that something will be done in this
matter this winter

B. Barrymore, the actor, and Miss
Katherine CORR Harris, daughter of
Sidney Harris of this city, were mar
ried at noon yesterday at the Roman
Catholic church of st. Francis Xavier
in downtown New York.
Their engagement was announced
early last month and on August 81 a
marriage license was issued but the
date of the ceremony had not then
been determined.
There were present at the wedding
only a few relatives and friends, and
only few knew of the marriage last
night. In fact the audience which
witnessed the play in which Mr.. Bar
rymore was the central figure had no
inkling of the fact that he had al
ready become benedict.
The engagement of Mr.. Barrymore
and Miss Harris attracted considerable
attention because of the opposition OF
Mr. Harris, the father of the young
woman, who gave as his principal OBJ
lection that he thought that his
daughter, who is only 10, was too
young to marry. His opposition took
a decided turn in Paris recently. but

CHICAGo's CUSTOM DUTIES.
The Collections for August Were Larg.
est in Its History.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Duties paid into the
customs collectors Office in Chicago
during August amounted to $1.260.72 80.
This is the longest monthly collection
in the history of the Office, exceeding by
100000 any similar period.
The increase of receipts is attributed
by Collector Ames to the rush of liquor
importers to pay duties before the ex-
piration of treaties with foreign coun-
tries. Chief among these nations are
France, Spain and Italy. These treaties
expired August after which the tariff
with its higher rates went into erect.

and New York should each contain
about 100000 inhabitants Annexa-
ton of suburbs will probably increase
the size of both cities beyond these
figures, but in 1885 or. 1886 New York
should become the larger city and in
1910 should surpass London by many
hundreds of thousands.
The census figures announced from
Washington last night came as a sur
prise to many newspapers, city officials
and civic organizations which had
made estimates or guesses based on
their own researches, as to what the
city's growth had been since 1900. Most
of the guesses we're wild, particularly
those which went into details as to the
probable population of the various
boroughs. The forecast nearest
to the facts was that of Walter Laid
law executive secretary of the New
York Federation OF Churches. He
came within 5,044 of the government
figures in his estimate given out last
Thursday. His figures were 4.761, S39
State census returns, immigration sta
tistics, the birth rate and other chan
nels of increase were the basis of his
computation.
