DUTY ON CANADIAN COAL
 NOT APPLICABLE THIS YEAR

It has been reported at Anchor age that Delegate Wickersham was derelict in not having Congress in- clude Alaska in the application of the $2 per ton tax on imported coal, as passed in the Revenue Act ap- proved June 6, 1892. As a matter of fact the Delegate several months ago introduced a bill in the House to provide specifically for a tax on coal imported into the Territory, but could not induce the Com mittee to favorably recommend this bill, until after a revenue bill was acted on. When this bill finally went from the House to the Senate the latter body included a coal tariff, that was made applicable to the States, the Territories of AL aska and Hawaii and the District of Columbia" The Delegate watch ed this item very carefully until after it went to conference and was accepted by the House and be- came a law. It was expected that the tax would apply to coal inn ported from Canada into the United States and Alaska. The item in the revenue bill reads as follows
 Coal of all sizes, grades, and classifications (except culm and duff), coke manufactured therefrom and coal or coke briquettes, 10f per 100 pounds. The tax on the articles described in this para graph shall apply only with re- spect to the importation of such articles and shall not be imposed upon any such articles if during the preceding calendar year the ex ports of the articles described in this paragraph from the United States to the country from which such article is imported have been greater in quantity than the i'm ports into the United States from SUI h country of the articles describ- nd in this paragraph"

TWELVE ALASKA BOYS APPLY
 FOR ANNAPOLIS VACANCY

Members of Congress are allow ed to have three midshipmen, at one time, at the Annapolis Naval Academy. Alaska will have one vacancy for the 1883 examination and entrance. One principal and three alternates will be appointed towards the end of this year and already Delegate Wickersham has had nearly a dozen applicants for these examinations. As there are now two cadets from Alaska at the West Point Military Academy, who will not graduate until 1884, and as only two are allowed at one time, the Delegate will have no ap- pointment to the Academy until the end of 1883.
 All candidates for Annapolis are required to be citizens of the United States and must be not less than 16 years of age nor more than 20 years of age on April 1 of the calendar year in which they en- ter the Naval Academy.
