GOOD FOS WABHIAOTON! Z j
The Washlogtcn state representa
tives in congress refu ed to support the
bill to force the marriage of Ariz ma
and N'ew Mex'co against the will of the
people of both territories just -b?cause
the congressional ria*, at the head of
which is Speaker Cannon, had directed
the bill should pass. In doing so thev
showed the proper kind of independ
ence and stood for that which is abso
lutely right, and which is so recognized
by the majority of the members of the
national house of representatives erre
spective of party. In no matter that
ever came before congress has ring
methods been used to a greater extent
or with more brazen effrontery than
that exercised to force this iniquitous
bill through the national house of re
presentatives. Congressman Tawney,
who spent several weeks in the terri
tories. last summer, and said when be
returned that the territorial sentiment
against union w*s almost unanimous
and that it should not in common jus
tice be forced upon the people, ex
pressed the position of dozens of mem
bers when he deserted the "insurgents"
to support the bill. He said he opposed
it but would vote for it because it had
been made a party measure and he is a
party man.
The bill will probably be killed in the
senate in spite of the fact the president
is behind it. If so the result may be to
kill the provision to unite and admit
Oklahoma acd Indian territory, which
is almost unanimously favored by both
parties. In the house Cannon's ring
refused to permit a separate toteon the
two propositions, hoping to use the
stiengthof the sentiment for the pro
posed state of Oklahoma to help
the fruition of his plans for the state of
Arizona. The game was so raw that
the only defense made for the bill was
that it is a "party measure.'1
Senator Hale, of Maine, Senator Ba
con. of Georgia, and others in the up
per house of congress took occasion re
cently to attack the president's partici
pation in the Moroccan conference in
very strong terms. Senator Lodge,
whom the president Has again admit
ted to the Innermost recesses of White
House confidences, defended the action,
though but weakly.
Luke E. Wright, of Tennessee, re
certly governor of the Philippines, has
been appointed our first ambassador to
Japan. Henry C. Ide, of Vermont, suc
ceeds him as governor. Heretofore
the American repr esentative at Tokyo
has bee? simply a minuter plenipoten
tiary. It has just been raised to an
ambassadorship.
Did anyone ever hear of a United
States revenue cutter rescuing anyone
from, or rendering any other kind of :
aid to, a wrecked vessel ? The ques
tion is asked for information. Did any
one ever hear of one doing any other
useful thing? This is also asked for
information. (

Alaska Contains 586,401.05
SqaareJIiles
Washington, Jan. 15 ? A new calcula
tion of the area of Alaska was com
pleted today by Alfred H. Brooks, of
the geological survey, who has for
several years been in charge of geolog
ic investigations in the territory. This
calculation gives Alaska 586,401.5
square miles.
The figures heretofore accepted as
approximately correct were made by
Gannett, four or five years ago, and
gave the territory 590,000 square miles.
The Century dictionary, published in
1902, gives it 590,884.
According to Mr. Brooks' figures,
which were calculated from the latest
trap in the possession of the govern
ment, Alaska is large enough to contain
all of that portion of the United States
east of the Mississippi river, with the
exception of six of the 26 states ? Ala
bama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi,
North Carolina and West Virginia.

Indians H-.?e High Time
With Valencia Liqnor
Seattle, January 29. (Via Cottage
City from Juneau.)? Liquor in large
quantities from the wrecked steamer
Valencia has drifted ashore and the
Indians on Vacover island, finding it,
have gone on a grand drunk. Trouble
is now feared, as the drunken Indians
outnumber the whites. The plan to in
clude the Indians in the relief parties
has t>een abandoned. The searching
parties are destroying the liquor wher
ever found.
Investigating Valencia Wreok
Seattle, Jan 30. (Via Cottige City
from Juneau.)? The inquiry into the
Valencia matter is on before the ma
rine inspectors today. Second Officer
Peterson testified that the vessel was
kept in shoal water, which was the
first mistake of the navigator in charge.
He condemned the life preservers as
containing reeds, which was worse
than none at all and proved a dead
weight so soo 1 as they became damp.
