Chicago, April 11.—Governor John
G. Brady, of Alaska, en route to Wash­
ington to secure better legislation for
the district, is stopping for a few days
in Chicago.
Notwithstanding the
state of affairs at the national capital,
the governor hopes to gain a hearing
for Alaska and to have his suggestions
favorably acted upon.
The expected rush to Alaska during
the coming year has been one of the
prime reasons for the present visit to
Washington. The governor says the
laws of the district are inadequate for
present conditions, the defects in the
system will be greatly increased. It is
in the expectation of securing laws
that will be comprehensive and stiffi-
cient when the new settlers come that
the governor Is now on his way to
Washington. Governor Brady said:
‘‘Alaska has been denied legislation
in keeping with the changes in the
United States, the benefit of which it
should certainly have. Mining laws
have been extended to Alaska, but the
land laws have not. Nor man nor
company has any title to a square foot
of land in Alaska today. In 1891 a
law was passed granting cannervmen
and traders and Manufacturers the
right to 160 acres of land each, at (250
an acre, but so far as I know, no one
has yet received a patent to any land.
I have lived in Sitka for 20 years and
have made repeated efforts to secure
title to the 160 acres on which I live,
but without success. We want provi­
sion made so tbat a man may own real
estate there.
“ Then there are the questions of the
salmon fisheries, methods ot dealing
with the natives, and a sufficient ju­
dicial government. The yearly salmon
catch on the inlets and streams of the
west coast amounts to more than
(3,000,000. A good deal of this fishing
Is against the law. Many of the can­
neries employ men to trap salmon in
the streams by stretching wire nets
across the streams in the breeding sea­
son. The fine for this offense is (250
a day, but as there are only two in­
spectors to look after the enforcement
of this law, it is manifestly impossible
to make it a real law.
“ Now, what we want is to have the
president appoint a commission con­
sisting, say, ot a senator, a representa­
tive, and three or five residents of
Alaska, men who are thoroughly fa­
miliar with this state of things up
there, to go to Alaska and sit there,
and determine what legislation is best
calculated to be for the interests of the
country.” Governor Brady is accom­
panied by Mrs. Brady and two child­
ren. He leaves tonight for Washing­
ton.
A Victoria ¿¡»patch says: Jack Carr,
former United States mailearrier, has
arrived at Departure bay from St.
-Michaels, via Dawson, with advice»
from Andree, the balloonist.
A dispatch to the London Daily Mail
from Odessa says that, owing to the
American war scare, the price of wheat
is rapidly rising there, the stocks being
small.
Two killings and a lynching hap­
pened in Brownsville, Tex., within
three-quarters of an hour. Sam Cobb,
a deputy sheriff, and his brother,
Felipe Cobb, a constable, were shot
down by Carlos Gn-llen. Guellen was
wounded by Sam Cobb. Later a mob
lynched Gullen.
A bill is to bo introduced in the
Maryland legislature, oopied after the
pattern of that in Ohio, which provides
that all applicants for marriage licenses
must pass an examination before a duly
appointed board of physicians. It also
provides tba^the salaries of the physi­
cians composing the board shall be
|l,000 a year.
Fire at Congress mining camp, Pres­
cott, A ril., destroyed nearly every bus­
iness house in what is known as Lower
Town. There was no water, and the
fire spread rapidly. The loss is (40,-
000. Jatues Vidant, proprietor of the
•>>ilver Dollar saloon, and a woman of
ihe town named Gertie Thompson,
alias Graham, were burned to death.
The following utterance was made by
Chandler (Rep. N. H.) in a carefully
prepared statement of his position on
the Cuban crisis in the senate Wednes­
day: “ The United States ought im­
mediately to declare war against Spain
and maintain that war until the people
of Cuba are free from Spain’s starva­
tion and cruelty and the government it
firmly established as an independent
republic.”
In accordance with a resolution
passed some time ago by the interna­
tional union, the book and Job printers
of San Francisco went on a strike Mon­
day. The bone of contention is a 9-

Dawson, he does not believe there will
be any loss by starvation among the
whites, but the Indians along Porcu­
pine and Juan de Leur are starving.
Couriers have come in to Dawson beg­
ging that food be sent ont, as the
women and children are dying along
the trail. The captain reports that he
sent food and said he would do all he
could to keep them from perishing.
There are about 140 all told, in two
bands. They report that the cariboo

fish catch last fall was almost a failure.
Nearly all their dogs have perished
