? BUI abolishing association claims
and limiting the number or placer
claims to two each month, just
|immsI the senate by unanimous
vote James Wiekersham.
Washington, July 25 ? The Alas
ka civil government hill, known
as the Wiokersham bill, establishing
a territorial legislature, parsed the
?senate yesterday afternoon by al
most unanimous Tote.
The bill passed by the senate is
somewhat changed from that passed
l>y the house, but it is a substan
tial concession to the territory's
cry for self government. Perhaps
the most drastic change is the
amendment abolishing the proposed
senate and Rhine a legislature of ore
jouse composed of sixteen mem
bers. four rfom each Judicial dis
trict.
The mem Iters were almost un
animously of the opinion that two
houses were unnecessary at the
promt time, and that sixteen mem
bers would be adequate to handle
the present needs of the territory.
The Alaska legislature w-ill have
authority to enact local laws and,
To pructhailf govern the territory
under ecrtaln res4rlctk>n? laid down
t'j- congress i
ltefore the bill goes to the presi
dent or Ms acceptance or rejection.
It will have to go to a conference
commlitee to adjust whatever dif
ference* may exist between It as
It now stnnds and when It passed
the houac. The change* have been !
accepted by Mr. Wickers ham. not !
lhat they are altogether right, but ?
that they are the beat that could
be secured at the present time.
Washington, July 25 ? The Alas
ka home rale bill which has just
l.assed the senate has been referred
to the conference committee. The
more important features of the
measure provide for a sixty day
term of the legislature, which ia
to convene every two years. Power
is vested with the governor to call
an extra session of the legislature,
the session of which shall not ex
ceed fifteen daya. '
The bill carries with It a pro
vision for the creation of a com
mission to Investigate and report on
the most feasible route for thej
construction of a railroad from
tidewater to the coal fields and for
other railroad route* for the de
velopment of Alaska. The senate
committee is authorised to compile
the laws relating to Alaska.
