CLEARS WAY FOR ALASKAN
 LEGISLATION.

uue ny one the contentious raised n behalf of fraudulent claimants to Alaskan - coal measures are being cleared away aud t may be hoped that prosecutions will follow in due time. The United States supreme court has declared that the process Of making dummy entries. either by power of attorney or otherwise. Is R fraud eu the United States. The de- cielon lu this case reverses the ruling Of Judge Hantord of the Seattle fed eral cout. on which the army of fraud uleut claimants had rested their hopes for harvest of plunder.
 Probably the result of this decision Will be to set aside almost every thing in the way of coal entries here tcfore made in Alaska. and It therefor leaves a clear field for the operation of constructive legislation. which it ia hoped that congress will enact during the present session f it can spare the tire from politics. The whole country unanimously demands such legislation nd until it Is enacted the development at the great resources Of Alaska apart form gold mining and the fisheries rLst remain st a standstin President Taft favors leasing system on lib-

WHO PAYS FOR THE CHINESE
 REVOLUTION7

Where do the Chinese rebels set the money 10 finance the revolution; They are evidently well supplied with modern artillery and the best of small arms. with full stock Of ammuni- ton. all of which cost a great deal of money In fact. ths rebel forces are better armed than the imperial army. whose troops. as we learn from eye witnesses of recent battles. are shoot Ing wooden bullet. from their guns
 This is only one more example of the graft that has so fatally weak cned the Manchu government of China It Is part Of ths experience in the war with Japan repeated at home.
 The rebels ere not only supplied with full stock Of munitions of war. but they are well led. u Yuen Heng. the rebel commander. Is obviously a man Of brains as well as patriotism. He has entered on negotiations with Yuan shi Kai. the premier. who is acceptable to all parties. The basis If negotiations doubtless is that If conditions of civil war and massacre are to go on indefinitely it will be Impossible to avert intervention by the powers It would appear further that the rebels are in a position to dictate their own terms. but it is a question whether Yuan will be able to bring the Manchus to that wsy of thinking.
 The fate of Ranking seems likely to be decisive of the war. Although the imperial troops hold a strong position they are geatly outnumbered by the rebels. who are. moreover, better led, better armed and better provlsloned When that wise old Chinese states
 man. wu Ting Fang. who held the highest office under the Manchus went over 10 the rebels. that fact by itself
