Northern Territory dot New Laws Which
Will Bring Settlers.
Washington, March 31. "Alaska has
been bountifully taken care of in the
past session of congress," said J. W.
Ivey, wbo bas been here all winter urg
ing legislation of one sort or another
for the big territory. "I find that very
few slates have secured as much in the
way of local legislation, and few mem
bers can go borne as contented as I will
return to my people. We did not get
everything we wanted, but we did get
the most essential things, and I have
no complaint to make. When I first
came down here at the opening of tbe
session, senators and representatives
told me I might as well go home, that
in the short session the would be uu
time lor considering legislation. They
advised me to come back next session,
when there was more time. But I re
plied that we had been put off that
way year after year, and did not In
tend to stand it any longer. So I
camped down, and here I have been
ever aince.
'In my opinion, the most important
legislation of the session was the Alas
ka homestead bill, permitting the entry
of 320 acres of land, 1(10 of which may
be commuted upon, and a like amount
taken by scrip. The bill is not perfect.
but It will do a great deal towards
bringing in the class of permanent set
tlers that ere so much need. Now that
people can acquire title to the land,
and can feel safe against encroachment,
there will be a heavy immigration, and
the fertile valleys will soon begin to
fill with industrious, energetic people.
When we get a larger population, as
we are now sure to do, we will come
bart to congress and make known our
other wants."

Flood Subsiding.
Memphis, March 27. The river to
night is falling rapidly, the gauge
showing 34.8, a fall of two-tenths since
6 o'clock this morning. The situation
is rapidly assuming normal propor
tions, and all anxiety is over. Some
uneasiness is still felt for the St. Fran
cis levees to the north of this city, but
all news from that section is of a re
assuring character. No trains have yet
succeeded in getting over the tracks a
few miles west of Bridge Junction. It
is now thought possible that Memphis
may remain cut on irom the West.

Title of Tacoma Building Site Defective
Scattle-Tacoma Malls.
Washington, March 31. Tbe attor-
ney general today reported that he bad
examined the title to tbe public build
ing site at Spokane, designated for pur
chase early in tbe winter, and had
found it clear. A check has been made
out and sent the owners.
There is faulty title to two lots in
cluded in tbe Tacoma site, the lots
owned by Mrs. Walsh, and before that
site can be acquired these two lots will
have to be condemned, thereby insuring
clear title. The title to the balance
of tbe site is satisfactory.
senator Foster today urged the Dost-
office department to increase the mail
service between Seattle and Tacoma.
He was told that, if the electrio road
would carry such mails as were offered
it at a reasonable rate, the additional
service would be established. All in
terurbaan mails are now carried by tbe
Northern Pacific.
