THE POPULATION OF ALASKA.

The two fundamental factors Of a thriving state or commun- ity are population and native re- sources. Of tn resources of Alaska the press of the country has been full. The growth and maintenaHce of her population are dependent upon the free ad- ministratiOn of her resources. X study of Alaska's population de- monstrates how vast are the op- portunities of the territory. The Bureau of the Census has just issued a preliminary statement of the statistics gathered in 1910. In that year the total population was 6l,35G, of which 25,331 were Indians, and 2,33l Chinese, Ja- panese and negroes. The white population was thus only 36,69i. Slightly more than fifty per cent of the white population was ma tive American. In 1880 the popu- lation of the territory was 33,- 1o6, and of this number the ln- dians were 32,996, or 98.7 per cent. In 1890 the total popula- tion was 32,O52, but the figure for the Indians during that year was given as only 25,35i, thus showing a considerable increase in the number of whites. Dur ing the latter part of the follow ing decade, owing to the klon- dike and Nome settlements, the population of Alaska increased to 63,592, the gain being prin- ripally white, while since 1900, as already shown, the gain has been only 76i. Reports since the census of 1910 have indicated a decline in population, owing to the return of many whites to the United States proper. Fairbanks is the largest town, having a pop ulation of 3,5ll in 1910; Nome being the second with 2.GOO. Of the fOufteen lncofpofaIeil toNilS, seven had a population of .OOO inhabitants or more. The some what transient nature of the ln- habitants is indicated by the fact that in 1900 the number returned for Nome was i2, 2,iSS, including persons on vessels in port. Skag- way, the second largest town in 1900, decreased in numbers from 3.I17 to S12 during the last de- cade. The returns show that thcre is one inhabitant to every 9.2 square miles, as compared with one to each 2l.i acres in the states. Mining science.

THE FUTURE OF THE PHlC-
 JPPlNES.

Ii is announced from NaSh- ington that Pres ident Wilson will soon take occasion to define his policy toward the Philippines. It is hinted that he will declare in favor of ultimate but not imme- diatc independence of the Fil- ipinos. This iS forecasted, too, by his appointment of Francis Burton Harrison of New York to be governor general of the Phil ippines.
 Mr. Harrison visited the Phil ippine Islands some years ago with the famous Taft party. EX- cept for persons who carry with them a background of Asiatic history and philosophy, those expeditions became ~ training schools in imperialism. Their members are taken about to see the institutional undertaking of the American regime, and of course these all looked well. That the natives care little for them or find in them nothing that re- spends to their own perceived needs, is apt to elude the first gaze of the enthusiastic tourist.
 Mr.. Harrison thus becomes a referee on this question. The president is very likely to be guided by his new governor gen. erals findings. The conflict within the party, since it felt some real responsibility, has been very intense. Secretary Redfield is one of the most mil liant imperalists of the United States. Secretary Bryan has been equally emphatic on the other side, both before and after his visit to the archipelago. Mr..

When Harry Thaw took up his residence in Canada most persons hoped that after few rounds between the attorneys for the state of New York and his Cana dian counsel, matters would set tie down to a steady working of the Thaw pursestrings and we would hear little more of It.. With Harry out of the way we hoped to be able to settle down to a more serious consideration of the currency measure, a ques- ton which has been troubling most Alaskans since the cOnser- vation movement was inaugural ed. X dispatch from Paris in to- days issue, however, indicates that all prospect of peace and quiet is likely to take wings. Mrs. pankhurst is reported to be try ing to get into America, and,
 judging that fady's disposition by the press reports, she is like ly to succeed. We can see where America gets the worst of it again. We lose one celebrity "n- ly to have another thrust herself upon us. In any event the pros pect of peace is remote. This is our tango period. and life is getting to be one danced thing after another.
