recent report to the navy department

other islands, rocks, reefs, foreshores
and waters lying between certain de
grees of latitude and longitude, namely,
to erect the same into a separate dis
trict to be known as the district of Tu-
tila. The "instrument of cession”
was signed by the marks of 22 chiefs,
with their seals affixed, on April 17
last, immediately prior to the raising
of the Stars and Stripes over the naval
station at I’ago Pago.
The provisions of the documents set
forth that the chiefs of the towns shall
be entitled to retain their individual
control of the separate towns, provided
the same shall be in accordance with
the laws of the United States concern
ing Tutila. It provides also that this
government shall protect and respect
the individual rights of the people to
their land and property; and should
the government require their land, it
shall take the same on payment of a
fair consideration.
Commander Tilley visited Rose isl

New Jersey Laws Adequate.
New York, August 5.—Governor
Voorhees, of Now Jersey w hen asked if
the state authorities would make any
investigation of the anarchists in New
Jersey or try to stop the promotion of
their cause, replied that the laws are
well observed now in New Jersey and
amply sufficient to cover the anarchy
issue. If any transgressions of the
laws were committed, the state will
take prompt action, and the offenders,
when proved to be such, will be prose
cuted and punished.
The governor
did not seem pleased at the imputation
that anarchists were being sheltered in
ins state.

Washington August,**.—From inside
sources it was learned that the action
of the Nicaraguan government in tak-4
ing possession of the property of the
Maritime Canal Company will have
not the slightest effect- upon the con
strueton of the canal by the United
States government. It is fully under
stood that when the canal is actually
authorized by the United States that
the Nicaraguan government will have
to make terms with the United States,
notwithstanding any concessions it
may have granted to other parties.
There is a possibility that provision
will be made for concessions that have
been granted, in order to avoid any
possible difficulties. It is not believed
here that the Cragin-Eyre Company has
any purpose in this concession other
than to secure money from the United
States when the canal is built. Author
ities on the caual have uever believed
that the com essions obtained by this
syndicate were of any value.

“The great necessity now in Alaska,”

Great dissatisfaction was expressed
at Dawson City this spring after the

woiked for men who had leased mining
claims from the owners. The lay men
sign contracts to work so many feet of
the claim during the season, to receive
50 per cent of the gold coming out of
the claims, and the lessee agreeing that
all men working the propetry will be
employed under a written contract by
which they promise not to hold the
claim in any way liable fortheir wages.
It has turned out in hundreds of cases
that the cost of working the olaims has
taken more than 50 per cent of the out
put, the lessees’ share. Thus the men
employed on the claims have been de
prived of their wages. Lay men on
rich claims, says Consul McCook, can
do very well, but the majority of the
olaims cannot be worked on tins basis
at the current rate of wages.
