VoLTAIRE's REToRT

A visitor one day mentioned to Vol
taire that he had recently spent some
time with Albrecht Won Halter, the
Swiss psychologist.
"Ah," said Voltaire, ''he is a great
man, great poet, great natural
list, a great philosopher man Of
wonderful accomplishments"
What you say, monsieur" the
visitor said, ''is all the more credit
able to you, inasmuch as Won Hal
Ter does not do you the same Justice
''AlasI' replied Voltaire, with a
grim smile. Very likely we are both

The election returns received earl

The election returns received early last night from the territory indi- cated the election of Delegate Wick ersham. Although there. are many small precincts yet to hear from the probabilities that his plurality of 1900 will be largely increased. It is expected that he will carry every division. In the First it was con- ceded last night. that he would carry it by 200, although that is supposed to be low estimate. His big plural ity will be in the, Fourth, where he will have. a large majority. of the votes and plurality of at least 800 over Bunnell. Nothing has yet been heard from Iditarod or Ruby. In the Second division it is expected that Wickersham will carry to l.. The Third Division will be close but as returns from the smaller camps come in it is thought that Wicker sham will have several hundred plurality.
 The contest for senator is between Tom Price and o. P. Hubbard, with Price in the lead by a little over 100 votes, which he is likely to maintain. For Legislature the four highest are Tom Holland, of Chitina; Chas. Day, of Valdez; Dad Ingram, of Valdez and T. B. Tansy. of Ken necott. John Lyons and John Noon are. close to Tansy and it may take the official count to determine the contest, although Holland and Day are practically certainties. The returns so far received indicate the following totals:

A case that attfaeted considerable
 interest was tried in the municipal
 court at City Hall this morning. It
 was tine town vs. A. J. Adams, and the charge was assault, committed
 on Sunday afternoon last. The de- lfendant had asked for. jury trial and 25 citizens had been summoned,
 from which number. 12 were soon selected. Three witnesses went on the stand and swore to the occur renee. The defendant himself was the only witness for the defense and he practically admitted the assault. The evidence vas so clear. that City Attorney Frazier. moved that the court instruct the jury to bring in
 verdict of guilty. Attorney Med ley for the defense objected to this and finally Municipal Judge Flynn decided that although the assault'
 had been testified to by all the wit
 nesses and that no provocation was shown, the case should go to the jury. Attorney Frazier waived the opening argument.
 Attorney Medley made a strong plea for the defendant He stated that he was the. United States com
 missioner at Cordova and man of great prominence in the town He said that if the jury found him
 guilty Mir. Adams would stand forth as criminal and a violator of the law and urged that he had provoca- tion for his act. He stated that there would be an afterpart if the defendant were declared guilty, but that under the evidence he was not allowed to go into that phase of the
 question. In replying Attorney i Frazier scored the defendant, who
 was a peace officer of the town, who addressed the school children on the duty of obedience to the law, and who felt himself of such importance that his official acts could not be criticized without him feeling that he must fight a man who differed with him. Attorney Frazier stated that in the matter complained Of
 Mir. Adams had not been maligned in the least particle and that his attitude was one of trying to intimi- date any one who dared to attribute unworthy motives to any of his official acts. He added that if U. s. Commissioner Adams had at any time been unjustly criticized that he had a remedy at law for islander and libel.
 At the conclusion of the argu ments Judge Flynn instructed the jury and the audience then retired. The ju1T was in session but few minutes when a verdict of guilty as charged was returned. The judge then imposed fine on MT. Adams of S10 and costs. Attorney Medley
 gave notice of appeal.

 In recent letter received from Dan Steacy, from Mccarthy, he tells something about the effort to estab- fish winter trail to the Chisana diggings. He says:
 MT. Simmonds was unsuccessful in his attempt to get across the Rhoan glacier on the way out, so he came back to the Shushanna. The people now in there held meeting and decided on the Skolai trail as the most feasible. Next day Simonds and five men started from the dig gjngs and are working this way. I shortly after followed and found him working with his men on Russel glacier. He said he had hopes of having a good double ender trail over Russell in three days. I went in over the Chittistone route and came out down Skolal. I expected to meet the Mccarthy road outfit at work along the way, but did not see them. When I arrived here and asked about the crowd of trail build CTS was told that there was some diff ference of opinion as to the best route and that some considered that the trail should go over the Nizina glacier the same as last winter, while others insisted that it should go over Skolai. so nothing was done. The sentiment of the people in the dig girgs is for Skolai, so that they may have a winter and summer trail es- tablished. In the meantime MT. Simmonds is doing good work in establishing trail while the people here are arguing about routes.
 Prospects in the diggings are lookin better. every day. The fell lows I talked ~ith were working on the benches and were getting good prospects and feeling satisfied that pay is there for them. I found the report to be true about finding pay on the bench of Skookum Creek. Pay has also been found on the bench of Coarse Money Creek, to the amount of 25 cents to the pan on bed rock and three cents to the pan in the gravel four feet above bed- rock. Quite a number of people had stampeded from Bonanza City and Chisana to Ophir and Francis creeks on the Beaver river side, but could rot learn any definite news as to what had been found"

EaGy For Aliens to Acquire Citizen
 ship In England.
 X large number of aliens become British subjects every year by taking advantage of tie naturalization act. The process of taking out naturaIiza- ton papers in England is delightfully."- simple An application 'can be put through in a couple of weeks if good and sufficient reasons can be shown, while the average time elapsing be- tween application for a certificate of naturalization and the granting of per mission to file the oath of allegiance to the king with the home office, which automatically Coucers British citizen ship. is only about eight weeks.
 The naturalization act of 1870 re- auires that the applicant shall have resided in the United Kingdom at least five years aad shall intend, when nat uralized. to continue to reside here.
 The lease of a house or an apartment is sufficient to establish legal residence. The landlords word is taken as suth- cieut proof. The applicant has merely to fll ia a blank with the details of his residence anJ other information and have the facts as to his residence vert- fed by one British subject, while the applicants responsibility and loyalty must be vOuvhed for by others. He then files, the application with il fee at the home office.
 A special Scotland Yard detective is assigned to inquire into the case and examine all the statements on the ap- plicants memorial. Three months Is allowed him in which to make his re port. but a few weeks usually suffice. If the application is passed another fee of G2 is required. The applicant then has permission to file his oath of allegiance. which concludes the proc ess.-Loudon TitBitS

 There are times when the so called "rcd tape" of the army gives way un- Ger the stress of circumstances. At the battle of Chickamauga General Wirich, who was commanding bri- gade, incurred the displeasure of Gen eral ROsecraus, the commanding ger eraI, by some slight omission. Gener- al WilNch was sent for and informed by tue general commanding that he must consider himself under arrest for the present.
 You may leave your sword here" added Rosecrans, until your case Is tried"
 Yes, general, 1 will consider myself under arrest" was the reply, "and just as soon as this engagement Is over, I'll come and fix up the matter"
 But, sir" said the astounded Rose craHs, 'I want you to consider your self under arrest now"
 "Of course l dO," responded Willich promptly, and just as soon as this fight is over I'll see that the matter is arranged"
 But sir" expostulated the com munding general, "I cant let you go into this fight You are under arrest. I will assign an officer to your bri- gade"
 You send an officer to command my boysr cried Willich indignantly. "He can't command them They don't know him. They know mel can teach them, None Of my boys would know how to fight or what to do un- less I was with them. My boys belong to me.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
Changes That Come When the earom'
 eter Falls an Inch.

eter Falls an Inch.
 Few persons have any idea what tremendous changes in the atmosphere are indicated by such a rise or fall or an inch ln the barometer.
 A cubic inch of mercury weighs half pound. When the mercury falls an inch weight of one ton is re- moved from every 4,OO0 square inches of surface. This is a ton for every area five and oue-quarter feet square. If your house, for instance, is 25 by 40 feet, with an area of 1000 square feet, a load of about thirty-six tons is lifted from the roof every time the barometer shows an inch fall-that Is, & thirty-six ton load would be lifted if the house were air tight But as air presses in every direction there is as much of a push upward against the roof from below as there is of a push downward from above. So the roof actually feels nc effect from the re- moval of this heavy load.
 In the same way a man or average size would be relieved of q weight Of about a ton and a half if there were no air chambers in the human body.
 It has been figured that fall of an inch in the barometer over territory 400 miles square removes a weight from the surface of the earth of 160,- 900 100000 tons. If this were loaded on freight cars, twenty tons to the car and thirty cars to the train, more than 26O.OOO,OOO trains would be re quired to move it. If each train were soc feet long they would stretch out ia a line more than 25,O00,0OO miles long.
 The only noise that accompanies this great transportation feat is made by the wind, which does considerable roar ing in the course of such violent at m6spherlc changes.-Kansas City Star.
