FORMER SURVEYOR GENERAL
 OF THIS TERRITORY IS DEAD

Chicago, Nov. 23-General w. L. Distin, died suddenly in this city Friday night while on a visit here from his home in Quincy, Illinois.
 General Distin was 70 years of age He was born in February 1S44. He retired as surveyor-generaI and ex-officio secretary of Alaska, Sat urday, October 1S,5 1913, after sery- in" in the same office for sixteen years.
 He became the first surveyor gen. | eral of the territory of Alaska when he received a recess appointment of President William Mckinley, August l7, 1897. The appointment was confirmed in January, 1898.
 In 1900 General Distin was reap pointed by President Mckinley, un- der the act of June 6, 1900, reor- ganizing the government of Alaska.
 In May, 1904, President Theo- dore Roosevelt reappointed General Distin, and the confirmation was ef- fected in December of that year. Again in 1908 Roosevelt appointed General Distin, and in 1912 he re- ceived his fifth portfolio from President Taft. Many times dur ing his long tenure Of office Gen. eral Distin served as Acting Gov ernor of Alaska.
 General Distin was born in 1llin- ois and saw service in the civil war, both with the Illinois and Iowa vol unteers. During the winter of 1S64-65 he was a prisoner of the confederates at Andersonville, Geor- gia. He was department com- mander, Grand Army Of the Repub- lie Illinois, during the year that marked the silver jubilee of that or ganization.
 General Distin was a lifelong re- publican, and the treasures he priz- ed dearest were testimonials that were sent to him during the years that he was a public. servant in the Far North.
 Early in November, last year, General Distin left Juneau for ms home in quincy, H., to spend the remainder of his days. Although the old man kept his courage, it was evident to his friends here that he had brooded over the thought or leaving Alaska and the little office on Third street, where for so many years he attended tc the official business that came through his hands.
 As a compliment to him, .Gener- Distin was chosen to officially open the session of the first Alaska legis- Iature in Juneau, March, 1913. The commission was enthusiastically re- eeived, and General Distin arranged a fitting ceremony in honor of the occasion. He took a great person.

 The Japanese journals have a sy- nonym for our word grafter and de- nominate such culprits as "banditti in high places,' and the high places are becoming decidedly too full of such banditti. In fact that divinity which doth hedge king about" is fast losing its gloss in the nation, and while in- tense patriotism still obtains loyalty and fealty to the royal family are rapidly vanishing.
 It would be too much probably to look for Japanese republic in the inn mediate future but certain it is that home interests are too absorbing for the Mikado to dream of mingling in foreign troubles, and are sufficient to allay any apprehension upon the part of America as to interference by the Jap

An Impending Japanese Crisis

n is probable that the announcement from Japan that she is to keep hands off'' in the embroglio between the United States and Mexico is more on account of her own troubles at home than for any great amount of affec- tion that she may entertain for the 1oxmer country.
 The truth is that Japan is upon the V6ffe of a crisis. The masses are awakening and their loyalty to the hitherto ruling classes is becoming as 1rail as the proverbial rope of sand. Those people are becoming tired of a subsidized press, are weary of mili- tary glory and national prowess that is bolstered by crushing taxation that b placing burden of cruel and almost unbearable heft upon their shoulders They are not only asking, but de manding some consideration of the rights of the common people.

The Business Situation

Splendid reports from the great wheat growing states of the west are already having wholesome effect an the business situation, and when the government issues it's June report, unless all signs fail, record breaking crops will be in sight.
 This time last year the south's cot ton crop was so backward as to fill the farmers with gloom. The situa- ton is very different today. Farm work in the south began early, and the weather conditions have been all that could be desired. The cotton planting has been large and the acre. age in corn in this and some other southern states is larger than it has ever been. There is good reason to predict that Alabama will produce 25 per cent more corn this year thank'it did last. And last years production was double that of few, years ago.
 In view of the grest crop outlook, all that is needed now to start up business. with rush is early action on Nfhe part of the interstate com merce commission on the petition of the eastern carriers for authority to advance freight rates per cent. At this juncture delay hurts. A week ago there was a general impression that the commission would decline to grant the petition of the railroads. While business men, as rule, have been urging favorable action, certain interests and many politicians were urging negative action. But now many manufacturers who were indifferent in regard to the petition of the car riers if not positively antagonistic, are coming out strongly in favor of the 5 per cent advance.
 It may be that the interstate com merce commission will yet see it's way clear to make favorable decision. If it does this country will witness such high degree of prosperity as will make people forget al about business recession of the past few months.
