Senior Spooner Fayors a
Commissioner
Senator Spooner, one of the coterie
v of statemen who control the upper
branch of the Cnited States Congress,
favors an aDpoinlive delegate or com
missioner to represent Alaska at Wash
ington. vVhile in Seattle recently he
was interviewed by the Post .Intelli
gencer of that city. He said:
"There is a constantly growi.g a(>
prec.ation in congress of the vast im
portance of Alaska as one of the
possessions of the Cnited States and of
its illimitabie resources. There is a
stronger disposition now than ever in
congress to so legislate as to secure the
development of the territory.
"As to the question of an Alaskan
delegate. 1 should say that in the sen
ate there is :> feeling for a commissioner,
to be paid nut of the government
funds, as is a congressman. >uch as was
done in the case of Porto Pico. The
house seated the Porto Uican com
missioner and might do likewise for a
commissioner from Alaska. I think;
that it is very likely that at this session
some b' 1 will be passed giving Alaska
either a commissioner or a delegate,
i That great country is certainly en
titled to it " J

HOW HE
GOT THEUE
[Original.]
General Nogi was sitting In bis tent
. before Port Arthur when It was an
nounced that Mnrtln Bowles, an Amer
ican who hud been granted an Inter
view, was waiting without. The gen
eral directed that the man be admitted.
Martin Bowles was a light complex
lonod man, with very little of the
Vmerican In him. Indeed, he had been
in Europe ever since he was ten years
oM, and all of the Yankee had been
dropped except the dare devil spirit
that he had Inherited from his father,
who hnd been one of Mosby's men In
the American civil war. while his moth
er had been born In Connecticut. Young
Howies was closeted with General Xogi
for two hours, at the end of which time
he emerged from the tent and went his
way.
? ??????
" The Russians In one of the principal
forts defending Port Arthur were ?x
pectlng a night attack. Their search
lights were moving nervously over the
slopes beneath, star rockets were burst
ing In the air, casting brief and falut
illuminations Into depressions directly
beneath them, while parachute torches
served the same purpose of throwing
light directly downward.
On a side hill opposite the Russian
forts crouched a man. The light cast
by the star rockets and parachutes was
too faint to reveal him, but he would be
readily seen If a searchlight were point
ed directly at htm. He watched their
motions till he saw one coming in his
direction. It was moving slowly, as If
the searchers were examining every de
tail. Presently It reachcd his position
and stopped.
There is something trying iu having
one of these silent sheaves of light
pointed at you. You know some one
bidden In darkness Is looking at you.
Every stone, every blade of grass about
you, glistening, tells how plainly you
are seen, and you expect either to hear
the spiteful "ping"' of a sharp shooter's
bullet or feel it pierce your vitals.
But the man 011 the hillside had uo
such fear. Indeed, he was pleased
when the light was turned upon him
and stopped. lie wore a tattered Bus
sian uniform, and as soon as he was
satisfied that he was observed he wav
ed his hand. Then Immediately file
searchlight was turned away.
The man got up and walked rapidly
down the hill. Midway between the
position he had occupied and the fort
h.-> met a company of Russian soldiers
The commander of the fort had sent
tliera to enable one of their comrade
to enter his own lines. Perhaps he
might have valuable Information. Lie
was taken to the general, who question
ed hiui eagerly.
He said that he was Ivan Vcstlovsky
and had belonged to the garrison of a
fort near by oo the right which had
been stormed and taken the day before
at dusk. He had escaped In the gather
ing darkness and hidden In a deserted
rifle pit on the hillside. There he had
observed the dispositions of the Jap
anese, who were forming for an at
tack.
"Vhere are their strongest forees?"
nsked the general, "on our right or
left:"
"From my position," ^replied Ivan,
"under the light of your rockets and
parachutes, I could see them massing
on your left. There Is a small force ou
your right, but they seemed to me to
be nearly ready to move."
"I see." said the general. "That wily
fox Xogl Is going to feint on our right
and storm our left." Then he gave or
ders to move the most effective "feuns to
the left.
On the Russian right was the hill on
which Ivan Vestlovsky had been dis
covered. It was Just high enough to
prevent the Russians from seeing over
It 3 crest. On their left was a compara
tively long stretch of open ground
swept by their artillery, beyond which
the ground was again uneven. At 2
o'clock In the morning suddenly a para
chute revealed a force of Japanese
marching In a depression In the ground
far to the right where the view was
not obstructed by the hill. At the
time a considerable force was ob
served further away on the left. This
seemed to confirm Ivan's story. But
the force on the right grew larger and
when within range an overwhelming
force of Japanese hurried over the
crest of the hill and before the guns
could be turned swept on to the moat,
planted scaling ladders and in a
twinkling the fort had been captured.
"I wish to see General Nogl," said
one of the Russian prisoners in fairly
good Japanese.
The ofHcer In charge looked at the
man as if he suspected his sanity, but
was still more surprised when the gen
eral hurrying up with his staff was
hailed by the prisoner, and turning
came up to him and embraced him.
"We owe you everything." he sold.
Then he told the officer that he would
take the prisoner away with him.
The two went to that side of the fori
which had not been fought over and
when the general saw the guns all
there he embraced the prisoner again.
"Mr. Bowles." he said, "I saw through
my glass the Russians moving these
guns and knew that your ruse had
been successful. You have enabled us
at the risk of your life to capture
easily a strong fort In our way. Now,
how can I reward you?"
"General," replied Mr. Bowles, "I am
a born American, and a Yankee never
does something for nothing? I repre
sent an American newspaper and I
want permission to send dispatches."
"Keep near to my headquarters,"
said the general with a grim smile,
"and I'll favor you whenever I can do
It without risking my plans."
"I kn?w I'd gst there," said the
Tanfct?. ARTHUR D. BERWICK.
