ing one hundred or more went over te the island the following day, August 6, and taking the Chinese from their work and houses, carried them over tc Juneau, where they were the same night packed into two small sailing vessels not large enough to even mod erately accomodate onethird of them (there were about eighty of them), and dispatched them to Wrangel" says the governor. "They were supplied with plenty of rice upon which to subsist while the vessels were enroute, but packed as they were like sardines in a box, they must have suffered dreadful ly during the week they were on the way,' he continues in his annual re- port for that year.
 The next day after the departure of the Chinese for Wrangell, the tug of the Alaska Mill and Mining com pany arrived in Sitka, then the capi- tai, and brought to the governor let ter from the deputy United States mar shal at Juneau, John McKanna. The letter said:
 z fThe white men of Juneau are now on the island removing the Chin ese from their dwellings and driving off the Chinese working men from the mines I am powerless to enforce the law, and have exhausted every means to prevent trouble.

mense sums which more than one Al askan believes is poured into the cof- fers of the United States Probably ii the sums spent in all the appropria- tions made for Alaska were tabulated and totaled, and set over against the revenues derived, not merely would a representative now and then feel that the wishes of his constituents demand ed that he should arise in his place and mildly protest. But scores of watch dogs of the treasury would feel called upon to howl their heads off.
 The appropriations for Alaska come under many heads. They are segregat- ed, with other appropriations under heads of departments, miscellaneous ap- populations, and otherwise which makes the tabulation of government money spent in Alaska a difficult task.
 A man, however, once attempted this task, and after fashion accomplished it. His name was Asmun Brown, and he was Washington correspondent.
 With the courage of the Dickens hero, he went from office to office with his persistent, "I want to know,' un- til he was as unwelcome visitor in the departments at Washington as his predecessor in the English circumlocu- tion office. His labors were near enough completed when he finished his work to estimate that the sum appro- priated for all purposes in flask to- tailed s2,Ooo,OoO a year.
 Certainly the $2,0oo,OOe expended by congress in Alaska is not disbursed as it would be if the appropriations were handed over in lump sum to an cleo tive legislature of resident Alaskans. Certainly many Alaskan emphatically deny that all of it is properly expend- ed But whatever mistakes congress
