During the past six years under the present Ad- ministraton, the native people of Alaska have re- ceived greater degree of attention and have been the beneficiaries of more helpful legislation than ever before in the history of the Territory. That state ment is not susceptible of truthful contradiction.
 Long before the present Administration came into power the Thlingt and Hada Indians of Alaska sought enactment by Congress of a law that would give them the right to bring suit for recovery of compensation for the property rights of which they had been wrongfully deprived. Delegate Dimond secured the passage uI such an in 1885 written after full consultation with the leaders of the natives involved and with their complete approval Of every provision of the act. No suit has yet been brought under the Act but the stands proof of the soc tude and care of the administrative officials in and out of Alaska the welfare of the Alaska native people.
 The Delegate was also able to obtain enactment of law granting citizenship to people of Metlakatla who were born in British Columbia and who were not eligible for citizenship under the general naturaiza tion laws.
 The welfare of the Eskimos and Aleuts and other native races of Alaska who are interested in reindeer and whose livelihood depends to extent on rein deer as not been overlooked. In the 74th Congress, MT Dmond introduced a bill looking toward the settlement of the veXatous reindeer problem but by reason of the objection that time of of the Eskimos of northern Alaska to several features of the bill proposed. he did press the measure for pas sage Tn 1886 he travelled extensively Alaska and consulted with the Eskimo leaders, and upon his return to Washington, introduced a bill which was entirely satisfactory to the Eskimos While the bill was not passed written, it will be of immense aid to those native peoples of Alaska who concerned with reindeer as it provides that all reindeer and useful reindeer range equipment owned by others than natives will be purchased and either given to the natives or held in trust by the Government for the benefit of natives and the natives will be aided in every way in establishing full and complete reindeer industry The Act further reserves reindeer in the future for the exclusive and benefit of the natives of Alaska and authorizes appropriation of two million dollars to put the Act into effect.
 Combining acts of Federal Government and the Alaska Legislature with respect to Social Security, has given the native people of Alaska advantages and benefits not contemplated under any previ- ous administration The natives fully share in the old age pension system in Alaska and at the present time than 380 of them drawing old age pensions. They also share fully the unemployment compensation features of the Social Security Act and of the law which provides for the establishment and maintenance of employment offices in Alaska.

Carried over from last night,
final action on the $45, 300 900 Dis.
trict appropriation bill was to
have been the first order of bus.
mess today, but House leaders
agreed to take up the calendar
instead.
HELD BY MIXUP
The Districts $45,SOO, 900 supply
bill for 1899 was to have been
passed yesterday, but a parlia.
mentary tangle last night post
poned final action on the measure
until today.
The parliamentary mixup was
caused by Representative Everett
M. Dirksen (R) of Illinois, House
champion of the relief boost, who
demanded a quorum call last night
when the House was itching to
go home.
MOVE DEFEATED
Mr.. Dirksen's amendment to
increase the relief appropriation
from 100000 to $1,900,000 was
rejected by the House after
vigorous debate involving ma
tlonal relief and unemployment
problems.
The measure as it now stands
leaves the District without funds
for street lighting, and places on
the District the burden of bearing
expenses of street car track re
moval and replacement, incident
to the construction of an under
pass at Dupont Circle and Thomas
Circle.
The first item, involving the
most important defeat suffered by
Me. Collins in his handling of the
bill, came about when the House
refused to permit diversion Of
$765, 900 for street lighting from
the general fund to the highway
fund.
Representative Jack Nichols
CD of Oklahoma who is in
charge of the Districts proposed
new tax bill, the amount of which
depends on the size of the appro.
priation bill, was responsible for
this action.
He told the House that if the
funds are diverted, the District
will be ineligible for Federal high
way aid under the Hayden-Cart-
wright Act. With return of the
street lighting appropriation to
the general fund, the Districts
deficit will be increased to ap-
proximately $3,000,000.
In appropriating funds for un-
derpasses at the two circles, the
measure contained provision that
the traction expenses were to he
borne by the Capital Transit Co.
Representative Vincent L. Palmi-
sano CD of Maryland, chairman
of the House District Committee,
had this stricken on the ground
that it was legislation in an ap-
preparation bill.
