23 A NORTHERN UTOPIA The Singular Settlement of the An- nette Island Indians. -——_+—___—_ LIQUOR AND GAMBLING EXCLUDED dail is Needed Only for Criminals From Other Places. GREAT PROGRESS SHOWN “We ere fre>. The flag of the United States has taken us into its folds. These patriotic and thrilling words were uttered in broken English on the 14th day of August, 1897, by 2 Metlakahtla Indian when he carried to his brothers in British Columbia the information that th2 colony established on Annette Island, off the coast of Alaska, was formed and would be pro- tected by the United States. For years the natives living at Metlakah- tla, British Columbia, had been in a stac> of excitement and strife. It was known as the associated community, and was under the English flag. In the autumn of 1886 there was a crisis in the affairs of the com- munity, and a deputy was sent to Wash- ington to beg the United States govern- ment to give them a plac> in Alaska, where they might build for themselves another- home. Accordingly Annette Island was set @side and the settlement started. The tsl- and is from >ighteen to twenty mites long, with an average width of eight miles, and although more than seventy-five per cent of it consists of mountains and rock, the place is weil suited for a settlement. A number of the natives immediately moved to their new home, and when the messen- ger returned to Metlekahtla and delivered the message of freedom and the protection of the United States there was universal rejoicing. Reports received by the Secre- tary of the Interior giv> details of the oc- currences. Tie messenger extemporized a seng of fr>edcm and sang it to an inspiring native chant. The people were =>lectrified, end in their joy the work of pulling and packing up fer Alaska at once commenced. By the 18th of August over eight hundred had safeiy crossed the water. The New Settlement. "The natives hav3 considerable intelli- gence, and they immediately started to or- @aniz> the community and adopt regula- tions for its good government. The native ccuncil consists of eighty members, ten of whom ar> agent men, and twenty of them gre elected by ballot every New Year day. The duties of the council are to attend to the public affairs and improverffent of the settlem>nt, and collect and disburse the yearly tax of $3 imposed upon every able- bodied male member of the community. The council selects a treasurer and secre- tary to k»ep the village record. s ttle in the community is @ who are willing to adopt Every applicant for mem- hip, however, must be approved by the and after probation is publicly ad- mitted on New Year day at a general mass ting. On this oceasion each candidate for membership makes his declaraiion, giv- ing his reasons for seeking admittance to the settlement, and solemnly pledges him- self to observe its laws and regulations. After th> declarations have been made, the Kew members are dressed by some member of the council. Lots then cast to de- termine the company to which each new memb-r is drafted. A badge is given him, and the company then welcomes him by ac- clamation to its ranks. On each New Year day, after the council fs selected, twenty men are en as eld- ers for the church. Their duties are watch over the moral and religious affairs Of the settlement, lock up and correct of- fenders and conduct rellgious services wherever they may be when on fishing or hunting expeditions. The Ofiicials of the Village. After the election of elders the voters are called upon to elect twenty men as peace officers of the settlement, from whom tw9 are selected weekly for special duties as Watchmen for the town. All are expected to keep a watchful care over the peace wherever they are traveling or-are located. The two watchmen on duty parade the sionally during the day and vigilance at night.

They have also been in- structed to prepare lists of all men not now in the service who have expressed a willing to enlist in the event of a cal} to arms. In this connection men who have heretofore been members of the Guard will be given the preference. All commissioned officers of the National Guard have been directed to meet at head- quarters this evening to discuss matters of Vital importance. a Sudden Dea ‘Wiliam Perry, color2d, who lived at 913 8d street southwest, died suddenly yester- day morning. He had not been attended by a physician, and the coroner was calod upon to give a certificate of dzath. He found that death had resulted from natural causes, and an inquest will not be held. LOCAL RAILWAY WAR Contest Between Washington and Potomac and Chesapeake Beach Uompanies, President Green of the Former Road @ Addresses a Letter to Repre- sentatives ing Congress. What is believed by some of those inter- ested as likely to be one of the hardest fights in the railroad history of Washing- ton has been started between the owners of the Washington and Potomac road, once Known as Washington and Point Lookout, and the owners of the Chesapeake Beach road, now being pushed to complztion he- tween this city and the Chesapeake bay. It is alleged that the Chesapeake Beach Railroad Company, said to be backed by Colorado capitalists who are represented in this city by Mr. Otto Mears, has taken forcible possession of the Washington and Potomac’s line inside of the District, and which extends from Benning to the Mary- land line, and has made it a part of their own. ‘The Washington and Potomac company, as now constituted, is understood to be compesed of New York and Massachusetts capitalists, with Mr. Charles H. Green of New York as president. Mr. John P. Poe, a former attorney general of Muryland, has been retained by the n2w company to look after its interests; especially those relating to proposed legislation before Congress. Mr. Poe is exp2cted to be in Washington within a day or two. President Green’s Letter, + President Green has also sent to each member of Congress a letter, in which he claims that the House bill to allow the ex- tension 2asterly of the Coiumbia railway is in the interest of the Chesapeake Beach road, and “is an attempt to coniiscate vest- ed rights now owned by the Washington and Potomac Railroad Company.” Continuing, Mr. Green says: “The territory through which this exten- sion would run is covered already by the charter granted by Congress and owned by the Washington and Potomac railroad. The Washington and Potomac railroad is chartered and intended to run from Ben- ning in the District to Point Lookout, on Chesapeake bay, supplying Washington with an additional railway. This company has done considerable grading and laid come miles of steel rails, all within the District. Besides, it has twentyrone miles of road built and in operation in the state of Maryland, and forty miles in addition graded, ready for the rails. ‘The entire line would have been completed long ago, but it has been impossible, during the last few years, on account-of the hard times, to raise sufficient capital to finish it. Arrange- ments are now being made, however, to complete the entire line from Benning to Point Lookout. “In the meantime the Chesapeake Beach road in the attempt to get into the District of Columbia, took forcible possession of the portion of our road completed in the Dis- trict, and knowing full well that Congress wouid not recognize such high-handed deal- ing in defiance of our rights, has succeede] in having this bill introduced in its interest by the Columbia railroad, and have Con- gress legalize its high-handed and fraudu- lent action in taking possession of our property. “I desire to call your attention to section 7 of the bill, which authorizes them to lease this extension, which discloses the real object of this bill. It is to give the Chesapeake Beach road an entrance into the District of Columbia, through territory ¢eccupied» by us by virtue of our charter granted by Congress, and which they knew they could not obtain by a direct, applica- ticn to Congress. “There has been expended on the Washing- ton and Potomac road about $500,000, whica would be lost if its chartered rights within the District were not fully protected. This money has been expended in full confidence of the inviclability of these rights. The passage of this bill would destroy these Tights by permitting the territory covered by our charter to be occupied by another road and prevent the completion of our road at an early date, as now contem- plated.” Benefit to Washington. The completion of the Washington and Potemuc road would, it is believed, be of great benefit to the city of Washington, and would also be an influential factor in inducing more active efforts than ever on the part of the Reading and other railroads to extend their trade south. Point Lookout would, it is said, with the addition of prop- er terminal facilities, make a splendid shipping port, as it possesses at all times a depth of water sufficient to accommodate the largest ship afloat. —_s+__ ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS. Citizens’ Association to -Resume Operations—General News. Steps are being taken looking to a re- sumption of the meetings of the Anacostia Citizens’ Association. The matter of hav- ing some kind of a public demonstration at the opening of the Anacostia fire engine house is under consideration, and a meet- ing of the association will be called soon to take action in the matter. It is understood that Mr. C. F. Walson of Anacostia has tendered the government his services, in case of hostilities with Spain, and received assurances that he will not be overlooked when the proper time comes. Mr. Walson, who is now superin- tendent of county reads for the District, was the captain of a gunboat during the late war. The Chinese gardens, which occupied a portion of the Christie estate, near the Eastern branch, have been abandoned. It is believed they will never be cultivated again. The gardens were started a few years ago by two celestials, who thought it would pay to raise products exclusively for the Cninese population of Washington. No zeason is given for the Stoppage of the work. Debates between the pupils of the eighth and seventh grades are being made a Fri- day afternoon feature at the Van Buren Public School. The last discussion was on lines pertinent to the American-Spanish difficulties, the subject being “Shall There Arbitration or War?’ After hearing © remarks of several speakers the ques- tien was voted on by the school, and ar- bitration was decided upon by 33 to 32. Master Bertram French has been visiting his brother, Mr. Walter French, in Phila- deiphia. a’ POSSIBLE MURDER, Death of Young Woman Under Mys- terious Circumstances. Miss Annie Brady, whose parents reside near Bristol, Md., died recently at the resi- dence of Mr. George Vermillion, near Brightseat, and was buried Friday last by her uncle, George Brady, in Anne Arun- del county. There were suspicious circum- stances surrounding the death, which de- veloped partially at the burial, and later there was an investigction started. It is stated that the girl ran away from her ‘home, near Bristol, last Thursday week, expecting to marry James Tucker, who lived with Mr. George Vermillion, at whose nouse she died. She was taken sick at 6 o'clock Thursday morning. The Vermillions notified her family. Her father, Richard L. Brady, being sick, her uncle went to the house of Vermillion, who refused to let him have the body at first, saving he wanted a jury of inquest. Afier waiting some time Vermillion final- ly Consented to allow the body to be taken away, and it was after the coffin was open- ed at the grave side that suspicion was aroused, and yesterday, at the request of the family, Dr. A. H. Perrie of Mc- Kendree, Anne Arundel county, had the body disinterred and made a partial ex- amination, which showed bruises on the reck and at the base of each ear. The Tight side of the face was very much dis- colored. The lower portion of the body was hot examined. Relatives from Anne Arundel have requested Prince George's authorities to take some action in clearing up the mystery. —— Pillsbury Wins Again. Pillsbury again defeated Showalter_Fri- day in New York in the tenth game for the American chess championship. VICTORY FOR SAGASTA Result of the Elections for Spanish Cortes Yesterday. Generally Considered That the In- dorsement of Present Ministry © Makes Toward Peace. A dispatch from Madrid last night says: The elections for the popular branch of the cortes have passed off, on the whole, quietly. The indications are that the gov- ernment of Senor Sagasta will have an enormous majority, estimated at 300 of the 432 seats in the congress. Disorders are apprehended at Bilboa, wkere the polling caused great excitement. ‘The military judge of Bilboa issued a war- rent for’ the arrest of three socialist mu- nicipal councilors. One of them was taken into custody, but the other two escaped. The result of Sagasta’s victory is regard- ed as an indication that the conservative or peace element will not suffer. The new pian for Cuban home rule will, it is assert- ed, be benefited by Sagasta’s triumph. Reports from Havana indicate that the election there passed off peacefully. The Orden Publico Guards, armed with rifles, stood ready to prevent any disorders. The Madrid correspondent of the New York World says of the elections: Seldom has the general election excited less interest in the capital. Not haif the registered electors were polled, though the press again this morning called upon them to do their duty, in view of this important event. The new cortes, whose meeting was pri- marily fixed for April 25, may be hastened. National requirements may oblige the cab- ivet to summon the houses directly after the senatorial election is over, April 14. Independent and democratic papers blame the excessive zeal of Governor Bibbas in interfering to favor official candidates, causing three socialist and municipal coun- cilors to be arrested on the eve of the elec- tion to prevent the influence and vote of workmen to favor Pablo Iglesias, a popu- lar socialist agitator. Universal Suffrage Discussed. “That Women Should Have Equal Suf- frage With Men” was the subject discussed by the Law School Debating Society of Columbian University Saturday evening. It was the sixth public debate in the series. The speakers for the affirmative were Messrs. K. J. Daniels of Virginia, A. E. Snow of Utah and W. A. Rill, and on the negative side Messrs. W. M. Ellison, J. §. Harris and 8. H. Jacobs appeared. The judges were Representatives C. B. Landis, R. E. Burke and John A. McDowell, who rendered a decision in favor of thé affirmative side of the question, and named as the prize debaters of the evening Mr. Snow and Mr. Rill, who will take part in the prize debate to be given later. ee AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c, Today.
