ALASKAN AFFAIRS DISCUSSED SMUGGLING OF LIQUOX DIFFI- CULT TO CHECK. Urgent Appeal for Land Laws for the Settled Portion of the Great and Rich Terri- tory. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—The an- nual report of Secretary of the Interior Bliss, made public to-night, reviews in detail the progress @f pension, Indian, land, patent, educatfonal and territorial affairs. Reviewing the gradual diminu- tion of the public land area, Secretary ed $100,000. Of three hundred and odd million acres of desert land requiring irrigation to render them valuable farming iands, the avail- able water supply is suificient for only 7 500,000 acres, leaving 260,676,000 acres suit- able only for grazing purposes. There are thirty forest reservations, embracing an estimated area of 40,719,474 acres. Reviewing pension matters, Secretary Bliss reports 635,000 claims of all classes pending, and says a separate division has been organized for the adjudication of claims growing out of the war with Spain. These soldiers will receive their pensions under the general law for per- manent disabllities contracted in the service. 3 He also concurs in the recommenda- tion for the creation of a commission to revise the pension laws and regula- tions in the interest of a future relia- ble, intelligent and uniform practice. Early legislative enactment for the taking of the twelfth census is urged in view of the necessary large amount of work preparatory to the enumera- tion of the population. The advancement along educational lines is outlined by an increase of over a quarter of a million of puplls in the | United States for the fiscal year 1896-97 over the previous one, but yet the aver- age amount of scheoling per individual | for the whole United States, measured by the present standard, does not quite equal five years of 200 days each for each inhabitant. The total number of school pupils in the country in ele- mentary public and private schools, colleges, universities, high schools and academies, is put at 16,255,093, The reindeer and Lapland drivers in Alaska have largely passed into the | service of the Postoffice Department and are now being distributed for car- rying the Yukon mail up and down the | valley of the Yukon through a thousand miles of scattered mining settlement in the wilderness. The report makes no mention of the | recommendation of Commissioner of Railroads Longstreet for the Govern- ment construction and operation of a new trans-continental trunk line from Kansas City to San Diego. Secretary Bliss, summing up the re- port of Governor Brady of Alaska, calls attention to the difficulty of preventing the smuggling of liquor into Alaska, it being impossible to enforce present reg- ulations without a fleet of revenue cut- ters and steam launches to patrol the tortuous channels of Southeast Alaskan waters. Smuggling prevails and saloons are open in all of the towns and mining camps. The Governor reports a con- sensus of opinfon in favor of a strin- gent high license law which would tend to stamp out smuggling and liquor sell- ing to the natives. The application to Alaska of the liquor laws in force in the District of Columbia with several | minor modifications is urged as meet | ing & majority approval. The Governor believes that Alaska should and can pay revenue into the United States Treasury. Under a high license law he estimates that the liquor traffic would yield an | annual revenue of not less than $200,000; a tax of a few cents per case on salmon would produce from $25,000 to $50,000; |10 cents a ton of wharfage collected during the past year would have yield- ed $100,000. He recommends, however, that any system of taxation for the Territory be deferred until land laws shall have been provided. Many sections of Alask#, it is shown, are suitable for agricultural purposes. With proper care cattle can be raised in the milder districts. It cannot be| doubted that in the course of time herds of reindeer will cover the plains of Northern Alaska and a few thou- sands of dollars spent now in helping the Esquimaux to obtain herds will save the expenditure of many thou- sands in the future. The fur seals are doomed to extinction unless all pelagic sealing can be stop- ped. The branding of female seals has proved a success. The brands render the pelts valueless and show that the United States has a property right to the animal. The raising of blue foxes is becoming an important industry. The hunting of the sea otter has been so unremitting that few are now left. The Governor recommends that the killing of them be prohtbited for a long time. Representation in Congress for the citizens of Alaska is strongly urged. An appropriation of $60,000 for the education of children in Alaska is earnestly recommended. Attention is called to the fact that the rapid increase of the number of- vessels plying in Alaskan waters ne- cessitates the erection of many light- houses. Other recommendations include a monthly mail service between Sitka and Unalaska; cable connection be- tween the United States and Alaska; enlargement of administrative author- ity and extension of the land laws to at least the settled portions. The other territorial reports all claim material progress and urge immediate recognition as States. Assistant Secretary of the Interior Webster Davis, in his annual report, says the 122,681 appeals from the Pen- sion Bureau and 626 motions for re- consideration filed during the year make up a number unprecedented in any one year or two years in the his- tory of the Board of Appeals. The pro- portionate increase still continues and on October lst last there were 11,820 such appeals .nd motions pending, and Secretary Eliss concurs in Assistant Secretary Da- is' recommendations for providing for three additional members of this board; for additional legislation amending the act of August 1, 1887, re- lating to marriage legislation; regulat- ing the payment of pensions to soldiers who deprive their familles of- the use thereof because of immoral habits and incompetency; and a legislative amend- ment in behalf of widows whose hus- bands died while in the service, death not being the rosult of any violation of any law, regulation or rule of th» mili- tary or naval service; death under such conditions to be held to be equivalent to an honorable discharge, as now re- quired.

Allowing that the ratio originally agreed to was approximately the market ratlo, the valuation thus coinciding with the judgment of the commercial world, there seems every reason to believe that such an international agreement would accom- plish its purpose. Although the efforts of the commission were brought to an end by the refusal of the Gov rnment of In- dia to join the movement the director con- siders ~ the failure indirectly due *o a growing feeling that the rapidly increas- ing product of gold has radically changed the situation from what it was ten years ago, when the gold product seemed to be at a standstill or declining. It has chang- d to indifference or opposition to the at- titude of many who feared a depreclating standard, but who are quite as much op- posed to a depreciating omne.

An Interesting Argument Is Also Made in Support of the Main- tenauce of the Single Standard. Speclal Dispatch to The Call WASHINGTON Nov. 24—In his an- nual report George F. Roberts, Director of the Mint, says: The most important events of the fiscal vear in the world of Government finance have been the consummation of the long- planned resumption of specie payments by Russia in gold, the reorganization of the monetary system of Japan with gold as the standard and the refusal of the Government of India to co-operate with the Governments of the United States and France in an effort to establish bimetal- lism by international agreement. The gold colnage of the world in 1898 was the largest recorded, amountng in value to $437,119,342, against $199,899,517 in already at hand, certain that the product | of 1888 will be still greater. The returns from South Africa for ten months show that at the present rate 6f production its vield will exceed the yvield of 1867 by $2. 32,000, The returns from Australia indi- cate that its product in 1. will exceed the product of 1897 by $10.335,000. ¥From July 15 last to November 15 the receipts of gold at Seattle and San Fra cisco from the Canadian Yukon aggre 000, and_on this ba. 3 sed product for Canada In 156 | is ‘estimated at $§,300,000. s The increase in the United States can hardly fall below $5.000.000.

In the case of Russia particularly, gold, whieh has been accumuiating for years, much of it in bars, was passed through the mints to prepare it for circulation. The comple- tion of Russia's plans for monetary re- form and the opening to the uses of commerce of her great gold reserve, Sys- tematicaily gathered year by year until it is the greatest single hoard of treasure the world ever saw, is in itself a most not- able event.

JAMES FISHER. Secreta; are not vOlUNtarily ASSUMING OF Femai- | se———— ing under conditions which put them at a disadvantage in the keen rivalry that salesmen find in every market. The en- lightened judgment of time condemns such a meaningless and burdensome re- straint upon the exchanges. Nor is there any merit in the plea sometimes made that inasmuch as most of a country's business transactions are domestic and only a small percentage of them interna- tional, therefore, the relations of its money to the money of other countries | is of equally small importance. The truth is that prices in all domestic sales are | related to prices in international trans- | actions and cannot be separated from | them. The values of all goods that enter | into the common consumption of man- kind are international and cannot be ef-| fected by money legislation. Legislation | can alter the value of a local currency, | but the owner of goods of world-wide de- | mand simply raises or lowers his price | to correspond with the coinage value of | the money. | Clear as these principles seem to be | there are those everywhere who protest | against all measures to enforce them. Certain narrow objections and sophisti- cal doctrines become familiar. Some as. sert that the depreciation of a country's | money has a good effect by stimulating | its exports. The shipper sells his products | abroad for gold, converts the gold into the currency of his country, and as the latter declines in value of course he gets more of it. The net gain depends upon his opportunity to work this depreciated currency off on somebody else at its old | value. In some countries the exporters claim to have succeeded in doing this, and | they are pleased and pronounce it a good thing. It is said, for instance, that in India, while the price of wheat and tea | in silver currency has advanced, the plan- ters can still hire labor at about the same wages as before. Evidently if the wage-earner consumes wheat and tea he is not sharing the good thing. It Is said that in Mexico manufacturers and planters have enjoyed prosperity by reason of the rising prices of their pro- ducts in silver while wages have ad- vanced but little. The question natur- ally arises, Who buys these products? Who consumes in those countries cotton, flour, sugar, shoes, meat and the other things which in any country are certainto rise as the local currency declines? It is evident that the stimulus to enterprise which these countries have enjoyed has been vrecisely suchstimulus as the United States would have if the wage earners of this country would agree to- gether to accept a 2% or 60 per cent reduction in their favor. That might truly stimulate the export trade for a time. As a matter of wage reduc- tion, a depreciating currency may be ac- cepted as effective. As a policy to stim- ulate exports it Js In some cases effective, but temporary, for if it ceases to depre- clate vages and Other expenses will gradually withdraw themselves to it, the importer losing his premium, while if it continues to depreciate it will eventually become worthless and all its influence, beneficent or otherwise, will perish with ‘tll As 1: pgllc)’ l:ipon which to build a na- lon's trade and prosperity it begins In fraud and ends in tnnure_) s Reviewing the efforts of the Wolcott International Bimetallic Commission the Director says the sentiment in fa- vor of a bimetallic money standard supported by international agreement had found expression not only by the legislative bodles of France and Ger- many, but of Great Britain, and it had, therefore, seemled opportune that a conference should be had with a view to ascertaining what concerted action might be agreed upa. Mr. Roberts adds: ¥ A single nation acting alone is certain to lose the dearer metal entirely and re- tain only the cheaper as its standard. Thus, in any country under present con. ditions to open its mints to (ue unre- ricted colnage of both gold and silver at 16 to 1, or any thereabout ratio, would be for it to lose what gold it possessed, because that metal would surely go where | DIVIDEND NOTICES.
