WINTER IN ALASKA.

The Skagway Alaskan prints good description of Alaskan winters and the wonderful change of the seasons We read:
 To-day. December 2lst. is the pivotal point in the northern winter when the nights, which have been gradually growing shorter, will shorten almost imperceptiblv each 24 hours until in the midsummer solstice a brief twilight only will mark the time of the passing of the old and the beginning of a new day. A few hundred miles to the northward of SkagwaY. within the Arctic circle. the sun for period in June of each year is visible the entire time In the region at this season, however. the luminous orb does not rise above the eastern horizon and the nights are therefore continuous and of the same length as were the days of midsummer
 "To those unaequaikted with the
 
 land where there is no daylight what ever for certain length of time in each year is repellent, but after one has experienced them their terrors are forgotten, for unless a storm is in pro gress the brilliant moonlight which prevails in winter in the far northern reaches render every object as clearly defined as in daytime and even the fine print of newspaper may be easily read by those blessed with good vYesight.
 While the most rigorous weather in the north usually occurs after the 21st of December. that date is viewed with extreme favor by the inhabitants of the country. for fl is silent reminder that the icy letters will soon he broken by the rays of sun which, although now feeble, will henceforth be hourly gaining in strength and warmth"

Commentors on the situation of the Italian government are unimously of the opinion that for Italy war is wholly undesirable The tinan- ces are declared to be in most debilit- ated state while the industrial and economic conditions are in a deplora ble condition. These facts, coupled with the evident disinclination of the gov ernment towards joining the conflict las indicated by the resignation of the cabinet, leads one to the opinion that the war-like preparations were. as suggested, more in the nature of de- fense against the internal dangers of the kingdom than measures of offense .against the Austrians

THE ITALIAN SITUATION.

The long prevailing belief that Italy excuse to cast her lot with the allies in the great war seems after all to have been somewhat premature as the resignation of the Cabinet yesterday clearly demonstrates that there is by no means such unanimity in that re- spect as the war-lke activities dis played during the past several months would indicate. Judging from the dis patches emanating from Rome during the past few weeks, the Italian govern ment was playing deep and subtitle game to which there was but one con elusion The army has been slowly assembled. the reserves called to the colors in both the army and navy di- visions, the transportation system of the country has been requistioned. and hundred and one other activities dis played, ane and all indicative of but one aim-war. This latest development leads one to believe, however, that all those significant demonstrations were simply an effort on the part of a con- servative ministry to offset the in f1uence of the war-mad people until some means could be devised to avoid a conflict which was in the main en- trely undesirable The effort to escape would naturally take the course which would be most likely to meet with pub lie approval and at the same time which would also require the most time to bring about q definite con clusion. In the present case both re- quisites were provided by the long cherished desire of the Italians to gain control of the Adriatic whereon the Italian supremacy and influence is at present disputed by Austria Thus by making eXorbitant territorial demands on the Austrian nation; demands to which, despite her precarious situation she could not be expected to accede save as a last resort, the government could thus seemingly coincide with the trend Of popular feeling and by pro- longing the negotiations secure the much needed time to turn the war in clined minds of the people into diff ferent channels And in addition to adding further to the impression of earnest intent the mobilization of the army along the borders would remove an immense number of men from the elamoring throng of war enthusiasts throughout the kingdom who were more to be feared than the prospect of war. In the event that Austria con- ceded the Italian demands, the govern ment would have achieved more than was expected in every way and also in
