Canada has cre ated a great deal of interest throughout the United States. Many of the lead ing papers have commented upon it. All of them that have been received ring- ' ! ingly condemn the rction of the con congress in refuging to permit Alaska to have an elective delegate in con gress. One of the strongest editorials on the question was that of the Seattle Post intelligencer. It says: "The people of Alaska are bitterly aggrieved at the refusing of the senate of the United States to pass the bifl giv ing Alaska a delegate In congress. They have a legitiment and substantial grievance. "Malays, Negritos, MohammeJan Moros, Sou h Sea islanders and the mixed population of a former Spanish colony, in which negro blood predom inates. are all freely accordel by con press privileges which are refused in Alaska to white Americans of the best stock in the country and of the highest intelligence. Every mail inhabitant of Porto Rico, of Hawaii or of the the Philippines has a voice in his local gov ernment. "Alaska, alone, with a population greater than half the present states in the Union had at the time of admission, is governed absolutely by congress and the executive; its people have no voice | in the election of a single official out side of the limits of incorporated towns^ and congress refused it the poor privi lege of selecting one of its citizens to represent It In congress, without a vote . i and merely to voice the wishes of the people, that congress mi/ht legislate intelligently on their behalf, as it has rarely done heretofore. "Of course, the people of Alaska have a grievance, they havejin actual griev ance, beside which those of the Amer ican colonists who revolted against Great Britain and thus laid the founda tions of this government were insigni ficant. There is not an equal number of white people, under Anglo-Saxon government anywhere in the world, who are so completely deprived of all its liberties enjoyed by other people of their race and blood. No such system of government would be tolerated for a moment in any British colony of white people. "While con^rass refuses to grant this email right to the people of Alaska, across the border from them, on the British Yukon, they can see a very much srnalle. number of Canadi ans living under a system of complete local self-government, enjoying full re presentation in the parliament of the Dominion and having a voice in the fram'rg of every federal law. Is there wonder that the people of Alaska say, as they do, that they would be better off under the Canadian governmer t than under their own'/ There ie not a doubt about it. They would be. But present conditions will not always re remain as they are. Certainly some time congress will awaken to the senti ment of real Americanism and compre hend what it is that is baing denied io Americans citizens in Alaska, who have none of the privileges of ci'izenship save the I are name. Meantime those who know the facts are ashamed of the federal inaction." skagwAy weather The result of the observation taken at Moore wharf at midnight, Ma-ch 1" 1905. is as fojlows: Temperature time of observation ? 41 Ma*, temp, preceding 24 hours 52 Min " " " " ......36 Mean " " " " 44 Barometer, 29.54.
