txUrni thai they are now asking

Is Hhk> the population of Alaska

Americans. The censos therefore
shows thai Alaska contained ten
t'uies as mauy Americans as did
Hawaii, which was siven full terri

What is th# matter?
Some inttlliL. nt departmental clerk
at Washington has handed out a
ruwng uhiiii de, ...cil witnesses call
ed u> Chicago in the .Mantanuska
coal case of adequate compensation
?? defray expenses involved in the
trip. Instead 01 15 tents the mile
iu cage fee from Seward to Seattle
(which is the Alaska mileage) the
c.'erk decreed that when outside the
Ur e-mik' 1 mit the w ltuess enroutc
?s? out of Alaskan territory and
hence could r< wive but 5 cents the
mile, which is the mileage paid in
tilt States. Aft r arr:t;ng in Chi
cago witnesses receive the munifi
? nt sum of $1.50 jh r day for each
actual day's attendant <? on the grand
jury. One witness received for his
attendance $413.50 and paid out in
Actual expenses nearly $600, in ad
cMion to the loss of time.
Such manifestly unfair treatment
as this will render it extremely diffi
cu t tor the government to secure
witnesses in the future. No person
is so philantropic that he can afford
to donate his time and then dig in
his pocket to defray actual expenses
