Washington, Sept. 14.— The Septem

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

chiefly from dry weather shrinking the

DEMANDS.
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.

W hen called
upon by the Associated Press corres

the total liabilities are, in round num
bers, *50,000, and the assets approxi
mately *125,000, of which *90,000 ia in

the cash resources of *52,000.
Sinoe
then more than half of the deposits
have been withdrawn, tbe canse being

tion.
This is the seoond suspension of the

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.

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

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. One man, who came ont
by the steamer Bertha, saw the steam
schooner Excelsior lying at Sitka and
learned that she is to go to the inlet
and oarry ont a load of passengers free.

Buenos Ayres, Sept. 16.— A corres
pondent in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, tele
graphs that the Brazilian foreign min
ister, Senor Cerqniria, has informed
a circle of friends of high standing
officially that he regards the prospect
for a peaceful settlement of the Italian
question aa extremely favorable. Senor
Cerqniria says the good w ill of the
government at Rome ia assured bnt he
does not disguise the fact that tbequir-
inal w ill certainly demand full satis
faction for all wrongs suffered by Ital
ians in Brazil, before it w ill consent to
enter into a negotiation for a final dis
position of tbe matter.
Signor Bruno, the Italian represent
ative in Santa Paula, declared in an
interview with Senor Cerqniria that
the aitnation waa still gTave. Seven
thousand insurgents have left Santa
Panla for Argentina.
The United
States gunboat Castine w ill accompany
the Argentine fleet in its evolution*
in Brazilian water*.

MARKETS.
Tbe political situation is atill effect
ing trade to a certain extent. W heat
is moving in a small way and a great
deal of stock i* being turned off. Hops
are in a fair way to prove a bitter dis
appointment, and the present indica
tion* are that the small pittanoe scoured
by the pickers w ill be greater than tbe
profits of the grower. Salmon is now
bringiug i - considerable money, and
the truil crop, although small, ia
bringing in good prioe«, and materially
helping matters.
Wool ii dnll and
lifeless, with no movement whatever.
W h e a t M a rk e t.
The local wheat market is a trifle
firmer for V alley wheat, bnt W a lla
W a lla remains unchanged. A t a few
points in tbe interior some exceptional
ly fine lota have been taken up Ly
near-by m ills at figures slightly in ad
vance of export values.
