been received in Great Britain. The
President is hopeful that the treaty
may be adopted by both countries and
believes it will be a great step toward
the abolition of war. And, with war
practically impossible between the two
great English speaking nations, there
is every reason to hope. according to
the Presidents view that other ma

ment and thus make for universal
peace. The treaty is a broad one, and
proposes that all disputes including
even those of national honor and ter
ritory shall be settled by arbitration.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Postal savings banks are like the star of the empire westward trendine their way. It has reached Seattle. and other large cities on the Pacific coast win have postal savings banks as soon as the postofice department can ar- range for the same.
 Here in Nome where people are al- ways in a semi transit state of exist ence there is little or no need of such an institution. for we have good strong banks to take care of the little money We can gather together But the pos- tai savings bank win be a blessing to the poor out in the states. and as years roll by the people will wonder why they were not established years before.

INTERNATIONAL RATE ADJUST.
 MENT.

An international conference for re- vising the telegraph rates is fixed for lsl4 In Paris But the government of Great Britain has already approached the authorities in Germany. Russia and other countries lying on the direct route from London to India and the Australian colonies about the means of introducing sweeping reductions in the existing rates.
 In some cases the proposed tarin goes even down 10 one half of the present charges. For that purpose it will be necessary that Germany and Russia reduce the transit charge per word to a minimum and that the En- glish telegraph offices as well as the Indian and Australian lines concede speci1l rates t0 Iae@e direct telegram, ?, The difficulty Of this arrangement lies m the fact that already the expenses of the telegraph offices in Germany are higher than the revenue and make ''ie'i'st'Fes ielt In considerable re- duetion of the postage revenue.
 sun the British government hopes to induce the German postmaster general to accept it's proposals by supulatlng the same reduced rates of the eastern extension seyice for German telegram. 10 India and Australia as well while the rates from Germany to England win remain as they are.
 The question Is whether under these circumstances the continental countries will be inclined 10 make further sacri- fees for a cheaper telegraphle connec- ton of London with the British colon les or whether they reckon with the probability that the number of tele- grams will be greatly increased by the

 Last but not least is the recommen- dation of the grand jury on mining and mining laws, from the staking of claims to the annual assessment work When the grand jury took up that feature they were getting right at the root of the evil here in Alaska. Not only on Seward Peninsula. but throughout the whole territory. The ghost of this great evil Is ever stalking through the land, bobbing up at times to rob the honest miner of his rights and giving a sort of protection to the Alaska hog in his grasping, unlawful ways of grab ping thousands upon thousands of acres of mining land. and holding on to the same year in and year out, with utter disregard for the laws or rightfuI claimants.
 The least we can hope will be that the attention of the proper authorities will be called to such changes that we are in drastic need of. and the recom- nendations Of the last grand jury pre- sented to those who have power 10 act and will act.

OUR GRAND JURY.

In the Nugget of June 10 we publish the report of the grand jury recently in session here in our city. and from the amount of work they had to perform coupled with the recommendations. the Nugget is still Of the impression as 1t was when the grand jury commenced their deliberations. Nome is we'll governed city peOpled with a class of law abiding citizens who have .reat respect for the laws of the land.
 The grand jury was composed of good representative men from all the walks Of life. such as cosmopolitan city like northern mining camp ls made up from. To the layman they did their work in a clear concise man ner. judging from their report for they appear to have left no stone unturned looking toward the good or welfare of the camp.
 Their recommendations pertaining to the school building should be attended Co at once, for they are of vital im- Dortance to the health and safety of the children.
 The ventilation of the federal jail should also receive the attention of those in charge for the health of the inmates should be looked after for the least We can say they are human be- ings and deserving of humane treat ment.
 Gambling as we have stated many times in the past. is the exception and this is well governed city, for the grand jury after careful investigation has pronounced they were unabeI to elicit any evidence that would warrant an indictment against any person or persons.
 We are informed that liquor of an intoxicating nature has been sold to minors. and if this be the custom the sooner such a state of affairs are cor rected the better it will be for the com munity. One of the greatest curses that can befalI a young boy Is to be started on the down road of life through the demon of strong drink The end is always the same no matter from what station they engage pas sage, ruin. failure and a drunkard's grave. with a wide swath of sorrow they have cut through life.
