Great Alaskan River.

Capt. John Baokland. with the four
masted schooner Transit, arrived at
Seattle from the Arctic with news
that the Kubak river, hitherto be-
lieved to be a small Arctic stream, is
o mighty river, pavigable for at least
300 miles from Its mouth.
News Of the navigability Of the
Kubak river was given to those on
board the Transit by miners and trad
ers. who for the first time had thor
oughly explored its main reaches for
y great distance inland.
While they say that It is navigable
for good sized vessels for at least 300
miles, II Is their opinion that any ves-
sci which could get over the bar prob
ably could make its way at least 500
miles up the stream.-Seattle Corre-

 Tn the committee of credentials coalition was formed of the contested delegates and members of the national committee and a minority of the repuo- lican states.
 This coalition formed a majority It posed to prevent the hearing of all of the testimony by limiting the contest ants to five minutes in which to present their cases.
 'rhe coalition in the committee is bringing in reports faster than they can be prepared, making 1t evident that the reports have been prepared before hand. No time is furnished to the organized dei- egates to consider their cases or prepare to present them to tue convention.
 Tt is therefore plain that if these con- tested delegates are seated that they wifi not only create a majority of which less than one-half represents republican states but that this majority will also be com rosed of delegates improperly. seated in violation of good parliamentary law, com men morals. It is also plain that this is not accomplished by mere partisanship, butt it is the result of a comprehensive application prepared in advance and de- liberately carried out to control the re- publican convention against republican voters.
 'We call serious attention of delegates to this convention to the fact that any nominee can have little claim Tor the voters and will have to depend upon the demora states and territories for this election"

THE SUCCESSFUL RAISING
 OF BEAVERS IN CAPTIVITY

Washington, June 21.-(Special. )--In 1904 A. B. Baker assistant superintendent of the national geological park, published an account of the breeding of the Ameri- can black bear at Silver Lake Park. O., which appeared in the Smithsonian mis- celaneous collections The paper covered a period of F years study and as the breeding of these animals has been con- tinued up to the present time. data are now available for period of 21 years. and it was thought desirable to give a further account of the matter in view of the recently developed interest in the breeding of the fur bearing animals. This pamphlet. recently issued by the zoo, forms Smithsonian publication No. 2os6
 The bears under observation are kept at Silver Lake park, a small resort near Akron, o. When the undertaking was first established collection of hardy animals was started in bear pit. The first bears secured were pair of cubs obtained in 1888. from two different To- calities near Lake Superior. This park bred regularly for IS years and raised in all about 3f cubs. Including all the breedinr bears. 6s or 6. cubs were raised during the 21 years of observation.
 The original pit is circular in form and built of brick, 20 feet across and F feet deep. It is connected by an under ground passage with a similar pit to which the bears can be transferred when desirable. These pits are located in the drp hillside which slopes towards the east. Tine floor is of terra cotta blocks set in cement so that the place can be readily washed out with hose. The pit is pro- vided with a tank in order that the in
 mates may bathe The brick lined en- trance passage. through which access to the pit is gained, can be made into a compartment for separating the bears when necessary. Important featurNs of the bears quarters are the retiring dens. which provide suitable places for hiberna- tion. There are two of these connected with each pit. as well as one near the en- trance passage. Each den is feet by six feet i'll width and four feet In height. and is lined with rick>throughout. They are excavated back into the earth sev- eral feet from the pit and extend eight or 10 feet below the surface of the ground Each is ventilated by small nue ex-
