Washington, Sept. 14.— The Septem ber report of the sta'istician of the de partment of agriculture shows a de cline in the conditions of corn from the August statement of five points, or from 96 per oent in Angnst to 91 per oent in September. The Paoiflo slope sends favorable reports. Tbe general oondition of wheat, considering both winter and spring varieties, when har vested, was 74.6, against 75.4 in 1895, and 73 in 1894. Tbe reported oondi tion for the principal wheat states is: Ohio, 52; Michigan, 75; Indiana, 66; Illinois, 77; Wisoons.n. 75; Min nesota, 80; Iowa, 84; Missouri, 73; Kansas, 70; Nebraska, 77; Sontb Da kota, 76; North Dakota, 61; Cali fornia, 100; Oregon, 66; V asbington, 75.

Tbe Paciflo slope suffered somewhat, chiefly from dry weather shrinking the grain, bnt not so generally as tbe Central and Eastern states. Tbe European agent of the depart ment reporta a general reduction from early estimatea of tbe wheat crop, owing to unfavorable weather, which waa bad at harvest time, in Centrsl Europe, though fairly good westward.

In the mouth of June mails were oarried on 12,292 miles and sixty lines of railway, and upon nine steamboat lines. There were 143 cars in use and a total of 266 clerks em ployed. The total number of miles traveled was 8.786,544; 468,778,800 pieces of mail matter were handled, and only 24.523 errors were made.

F o rm of Chicago, Sept. 16.— Congressman Aldrich, of this city, who has jnst re turned fro m » six weeks' trip to Alaska, brings the new, that tile people of that distant territory think it has outgrown its swaddling clothes, and wants to govern itself. A demand is made for a tegular territorial government, a new set of np to-date laws aud the privi- ege of sending a delegate to congress like Arizona, N e w Hexioo and O k la homa, The restless Alaskans have already caused to be introduced in the national house of representatives several bills to bring about these projeots on whioh they have set their hearts. The fa il ure of congress to advance these bills, has, Aldrich says, disgusted tbe people of Alssk. There are many Americans in Alaska who point with unconcealed disgust to congressional neglect and theu to the iealons o r e with whioh the British are fosteriug the interests of their citizens on the Canadian boun dary of Alaska. Congressman Aldrich says he thinks it is not time yet for Alaska to have a delegate in congress. Tbe population, though containing some 2,000 voters, is scattered over such an immense area that he says it would be impossible for the votes to be counted and returned within the time limit now provided by our election laws. But. he says, a now set of laws is ibsolntely necessary for Alaska. That country is now ruu with the guidance of obsolete and ill-fitting statutes. They are largely such laws as were in the Oregon code before 1884. N o new statutes have been added, and while the civilizition of Alaska has grown at a tremendous rate within tbe last twelve rears aud tbe population more than doubled, the laws under whioh the Alaskans live have not advanoed a step toward keeping pace with the progress in every other direction. Alaska is not governed like other territories. It has uo legislature and hat few officers, and even these it does not elect itself; they are appointed by the president. Alaskans set forth all these complaints to Congressman Aid- rich, while he was there. NEW W HATCJM Prop osed Wa* Run FROM C O O K 'S IN LE T . N ation al New Whatcom, Wash., Sept. 16.— The Benuet National bank posted no tice of suspension this morning, "o n account o( the withdrawal of deposits beyond its power to respond.” The notice further says that " A l l depositors w ill be paid in fu ll.” W hen called upon by the Associated Press corres pondent. the officials, while not ready to make a detailed statement, said that the total liabilities are, in round num bers, *50,000, and the assets approxi mately *125,000, of which *90,000 ia in bills receivable No paper ia hypothe cated, and it ia believed that the aaeeta are more than sufficient to meet all olaima. The statement of the bank’s affairs at the close of the business July 14, showed deposits of over *106,000, and the cash resources of *52,000. Sinoe then more than half of the deposits have been withdrawn, tbe canse being generally ascribed to the general lack of confidence, due to financial agita tion. This is the seoond suspension of the Bennett bank within a year, tb* heavy run of November 4 and 5 laat, due to the failure of tbe Bellingham Bay N a tional, having forced it into the hands of a receiver for about six weeks. It reopened December 19. GRAHAM R e g im e n t * Washington, Sept. 16.— M ajor-Gen eral Miles has recommended to the secretary of war an important change in stations of artillery regiment*. The regiment* involved are the Fifth artillery, stationed on the Paoiflo coast; tbe Third artillery, stationed in Florida, and incidentally the First artillery, located at Fort Hamilton, N. Y, His recommendations do not specifically mention the Utter regi ment, bnt it is known to be bis inten tion to recommend that this regiment be ordered to Florida to take the place of the third, in case the secretary ap proves the plan for sending that regi ment to the Preaidio, in California, and for bringing the Fifth East. The Fifth was on duty in N e w York har bor five years ago, when the last ohange between regiments on the Altantio and Paciflo was made, so that it w ill come ' baok to its old stamping ground if the sobeme of General Miles prevails. Secretary Lamont is generally op- posd to extensive movements of troops merely tor the sake of a ohange of sta tion. mainly because of the expense involved. Although a smaller number of regiments is involved in tbe present plan of General Miles than the last, the long journey aoross the continent of the two regiments would make heavy inroads upon the transportation fund. Secretary Lamont is known to be reluctant to incur the expense, though his final decision has not yet been announced. One of the strong points in the secre tary's forthcoming annual report w ill be tbe record of economy oonpled with efficenoy which has characterized the present administration of tbe war de partment. For the first time in many years a balance instead of a deficiency w ill be shown in various appropria tions. For a number of years past the mileage fund has been short, resulting in offioers being compelled to await for a special appropriation by oongress be fore they had refunded to them the money spent ont of their pockets to comply with orders issued by the w ar department. The new system of re cruiting and paying the army by check accounts in a large measure for tbe saving in the mileage fnnd. CAME H. M o v in g o f T h r e e o f A r tille r y . BANK.

Seattle, Sept. 16. — Sevenlf-six Cook’s inlet prospectors were brought down by the sobooner Sophie Suther land, which arrived this afternoon. About two thirds of them paid their passage in gold duat and tbe remainder fell back on the stook of money they had taken into the coantry. Those of the prospectors who were seen said that the rapidity with which miners were leaving the inlet had reduced the number there to about 500, exolnsive of a number at Coal bay. They calcu lated that *590,000 had been expended in taking men in and ont of the oonn- tty, w hile the amount from tbe mines would not be more than *100,000 at the highest. Tbe Polly Mining Company, near the junction of M ill's and Canyon creeks, they considered to have the best paying mine in tbe oountry, and aaid *35,000 wonld be shipped ont by that mine in the fall. Canyon CTeek, be tween Six-M ile and M ill's creeks, and two miles np M ill’s creek, they thought was a fair estimate of the pay streak in tbe oonntry, and aaid a dozen or less men are the only one* doing well. Starvation was a remote possibility, aa the departing prospector* have dis posed of their provision* at a saciflce. The majority are able to leave the oonntry, and not more than 100 w ill be destitute.
