Q e ALASKA AT THE CAPITOL (. Q

Tn these hectic days of retrench- ment in the House of Congress the treatment of the War Department appropriation bill last week illus trates how the ruthless slashing is done. The bill as finally passed and sent to the Senate carries grand total in appropriations of S329, 9,775,237. This is a reduction Of S52,997,998 compared with the 1852 appropriations, and less by Sl0,588,525 then was recommended by the Pndget Bureau. To this depreciation Alaska contributed over S45O,OO0, in the appropriation for the Alaska Road Commission, which was $8OO,OOO in 1882. For 1883 the Budget recommended S650,310, but tn e appropriation committee reporting the bill cut the figures to $354,31O, which was finally adopted by the House.
 When the item was to be con- sidered Delegate Wickersham mov- ed to amend and increase the ap- propriation to $650,310, making a lengthy talk on behalf of the ne- cessity for the increased sum. When the amendment was put it was de- feated by a vote of 25 ayees and 43 nays. MT. McDuffie, of Alabama, Chairman of the Economy Com mitee, then sought to entirely el- intimate the appropriation for the Alaska Road Commission. He moved as an amendment the elimination of the entire paragraph providing for the appropriation. After de- bate the amendment was defeated by the close vote of 50 ayes and 56 nays.
 Delegate Wickersham had print ed in the Congressional Record a lengthy statistical record showing the trade value of Alaska to the United States and in the debate figures from his statement were frequently quoted by the several speakers and which undoubtedly was a vital force in the defeat of the amendment. However, the fact did not convince Chairman Mo- Duffie, who, among other things, declared: 'The idea of maintain ing 3,100 miles of highways in Alas ka for the use of less than 60,000
