It'Vv- '• :-S St!-:- •#.'- T-" •" Alaska's Growing Importance. With the arrival of the season when traffic with that quarter is most active, the world to reminded that Alaaka is occupying & pretty large •pace on the map and Is growing in commercial importance. Within a few days four large steamers have sailed from Seattle, Wash., for Nome, carry­ ing 1,657 passengers and 7,500 tons of freight Bat this represents only part of the business. Alaska seems to ltare become a sort of outlying suburb to our hustling western Pacific coast cities. The Seattle Post-Intelligence* reports that the town and its hotels are crowded with every class of men and women who claim Alaska as their home or place of business. How the tide is sweeping toward that once un­ known and unappreciated region is thus indicated: "The array ranges from the governor of the territory to the promoter, the miner, the trapper and even the 'miner poet.' Prosperous members of the Wall street throng are among the large assemblage going to the far north to investigate copper and gold properties, to start the con­ struction gt railroads to the coal fields, or to confer with commercial companies under their control. Trap­ pers, miners and toilers have come from all parts of the United States to get steamers that will carry them back for another season of profitable work in the gold fields and in the fish and fox islands. There are scientists, authors, explorers and hunters among the crowd daily gathering in the city, buying outfits and arranging for pas­ sage to the north. The note book, the pen, the gun and the palette are now as much a part of an Alaska out- lit as the pick and the knapsack once were." At the present rate of devel­ opment Alaska is likely within a few years to become one of the most pop* OIOUB--at least during the summer-- as it already is one of the richest sec­ tions of American territory. An excellent illustration of the CttapHcated racial ancestry which goes to the making of an American is given by a correspondent of the New Torli Sun in a letter whimsically as­ serting that the new Spanish heir la logically an American. The corre­ spondent, who is a citizen of this country, says that he was born In Spain of an English mother and a Spanish father while his parents were visiting that country; one of his grandparents was German, another Austrian, a third French, and the fourth Spanish. The blood of the prince of the Asturiaa Is almost of the same strain as his. • The queen of Spain is English with a German father. Most of the ancestors of the king of Spain were Spanish for sev­ eral generations, but his mother was an Austrian. Of course American citizenship is not a matter of blood, but of allegiance. If the little prince. In his mature years, should grow tired of Spain, he could qualify as an American citizen by living here and taking the proper oaths. Courtship of a female doctor Is like- " ly to be attended with perils. A man jjy ®ot in Dcs Moines, la., while a patient la a hospital, fell in love with the i woman physician who attended him. After he left the hospital he made frequent calls upon the lady and In­ nocently supposed that she knew he was there as, a suitor. Whether she ^ did know or whether she finally V thought it time to get rid of him 1b not made clear, bnt at all events his love suddenly cooled when she sent him an Itemized account of his calls ' * with a bill for $562.12. The court has just upheld her claim, and in the fu­ ture when a Des Moines man, ani , u mated only by sentiment, calls upon her or a woman of her profession, he } »111 announce the nature of his visit v" |tt the door. , Warnings are beginning to come of the danger of the transmission of dis­ ease by house flies. The average man Is more concerned about having them walk over him and bite him, especial­ ly the baldheaded man, remarks the Star, it Is said ti»At a most effective fly trap can be made by taking a globular white gas shade of glass, and pasting some hair on the aides and a false face in front. The exposed portion of the glass is then smeared with the varnish or gum used on flypaper. Plies will come miles to bite it, especially if mounted on a stuffed form, and set In a rocklnff In an attitude of sleep.

( Peace--Germany Thinks Japan Will Fight* Oyster BAy, T.--Admiral son came to Oyster Bay to take lunch with the president, professing entire ignorance of the maneuver plans. When he left Sagamore Hill to take the train for Washington, the admiral had one thought which he wished em- phasized---that it was desirable and important to demonstrate to the world how quickly the American navy could transfer its fighting strength from one ocean to the other. This was distinctly ah addition to Tangiers. Morocco.--Kald Gen. SI Harry MacLean, commander of the <«tiitan*s bodyguard and, next to the sultan, the most influential man in Morocco, has been captured by Ral- suli. the bandit chief. Raisuli has an-, nmraeed that he will hold the general prisoner until the sultan grants the terms which he, Raisuli, demands for his own pardon and MacLean's re lease. , Gen. MacLean is a former officer of the British army and is descended from an old Scotch family. All his in- fluence with the sultan has been ex-' ercised in the Interests of civilization and humanity, and he Is universally respected even among the most fanat­ ical of the foreign-hating Moors. The British legation here confirms the president's previous statement, is­ sued through Secretary Loeb, wherein |$&e announcement of the capture of the object of the maneuver was said I ^en- MacLean. to be an exercise movement for the benefit of the navy, to perfect Its training in fleet exercise on an ex­ tended scale, the purpose and effect of the plan being for the benefit of the navy alone. President Roosevelt proposes to give the world a somewhat startling demonstration of what the American navy is capable of doing to protect either or both of the extended shores of the United States. As Admiral Brownson said, "there is no time like the present for such a demonstration," a time when the United States Is at perfect peace with every nation. The proposed demonstration with the fleet can be looked upon in no other light than that President Roosevelt intends to use the American navy for exactly that purpose for which he has advo­ cated its augmentation--a guaranty of international peace. Germany Expects a War. Berlin.--The conviction of an ulti­ mate conflict between Japan and the United States appears to be wide­ spread in Germany. It Is one of the subjects certain to be referred to wherever diplomatists and military and naval officials, and others accus­ tomed to follow international politics, meet. It is believed by many that the group of ruling statesmen in Japan are preparing to fight the United States for the mastery of the Pacific, regardless of the San Francisco inci­ dents. Sakamoto Scoff* at Our Navy. Tokie. -- The Hoc hi prints an In­ terview with Admiral Sakamoto in which the admiral is quoted aa fol­ lows: "Should hostilities break out be­ tween Japan and America the result would be indecisive, owing to a want of proper bases of operations. Such bases as exist are too far distant for practical purposes. Even the nearest bases, namely, the Pescadores, Cavite and Manila, are at a distance of 600 miles from one another. "Even if the Washington government should decide on a war, it is doubt­ ful if the Americans serving In the navy are sufficiently patriotic to light American naval officers are brilliant figures at balls and social gatherings, but they are very deficient in profes­ sional training and practice. It is too much to expect a hnrning patriotism in the American naval service in case of war with Japan. It is very likely that most of the crews would deaert and leave the ships."

New York.--The strike of the Amer­ ican Ice company's driver* was for­ mally declared off at a meeting of delegates from the driven' helpers' unions Friday. ^ Raisuli says he will hold Gen. Mao- Lean until he is granted the following terms for his surrender; 1. The reconstruction of his house at Zinat. 2. The payment of an Indemnity of $100,000 douros (about $200,000). 3. His reappointment as governor of Tangier and of Fahs and his ap­ pointment as commander of police. "The sultan is launching a punitive expedition against the Adjera tribe of this vicinity owing: to the fact that they have not paid their tribute to his majesty's collectors. London. -- The capture of Mao- Lean, the virtual commander of the forces of the sultan of Morocco, by Raisuli is regarded here as a Gll- bertian anasterstroke of the bandit, whose roccessful career started with the seizure of Ian Perdtcarls. Evi­ dently MacLean was completely hood­ winked. Only Tuesday he telegraphed to the sultan Raisuli had agreed to all the former's proposals. There is lit­ tle doubt here that the bandit will hold MacLean as hostage until he is reinstated in power and otherwise indemnified for the losses which he has sustained since he was driven from the governorship of Tangier.

When many little green things began to break the ground in his neighbors' gardens, his own remained as bare as the Sahara.

She furnished them with a key to the apartment and two of the detectives entered the room while the others re­ mained outside. As the detectives entered Runyan was standing in front of a chiffonier. He turned suddenly on the officers with a revolver in his hand. The de­ tectives rushed at him, telling him to throw tfp his hands. He thereupon dropped the revolver and calmly sub­ mitted to being handcuffed,. saying "the jig Is up." When asked where the money was, he said that part of it was in the suit case and the rest was in a drawer of the chiffonier. At the station Runyan said he had been In the flat since Saturday laugh­ ing at the efforts the police were making to locate him.

Australian Whipped by Tommy si In First Round. , . San Francisco. -- Bill Squires, the much-heralded champion of Aus­ tralia, succumbed to the blow of a Canadian fist at Colma Thursday after he had been in the ring two minutes with Tommy Burns. The men who witnessed the brief meeting between the two pugilists were chari­ table enough not to call him a "dub." They designated him a "false alarm," who should have been pitted against a fourth-rate fighter rather than any pugilist with the sllghtes possession of ring skill. To say that the 9,000 persons who journeyed out to Colma to witness the fight were disappointed would be phrasing it too mildly. It was a hot day and the journey to Colma was a disagreeable one. Hundreds of. per­ sons came from other states to see the leading fighter of the Antipodes battle with the light heavyweight champion of the United States and anticipation was keyed up to the high­ est point. Squires started in to rush Burns, and was sent down with a righ't to the jaw. He arose wobbly and again was knocked down. Again he stood up, but Burns landed blow after blow and then put Squires out with a right ipn the point of the jaw. TWO DIE IN TROLLEY ACCIDENT. Car Plunge* Over Embankment Near Clarksburg, W.

' ^ lttftgitoy of the New York Life Insurance company has learned the great lesson of the times with respect to the responsibil­ ity and duty of directors of corpora­ tions. Speaking to, the new board of trustees, on the occasion of his elec­ tion to the presidency, he emphasized the fact that "life insurance is more than a private business, that life in­ surance trustees are public servants, charged at once with the obligations of public service and with the respon­ sibilities that attach to a going busi­ ness which at the same time must b« administered as a trust" He also realizes that similar respon­ sibilities rest upon the officers of the company. "J. understand," he says "your anxiety in selecting the men who are day by day to carry this bur den for you, who are to discharge this trust in your behalf, who are to ad minister for the benefit of the people involved the multitudinous and exact lug details to which It is impossible for you to give personal attention. Ms long connection with the New Yorl Life--covering nearly twenty years-- my service In about every branch ol the company's working organization gives me, as I believe, a profound ap preciation, not merely of the heavj burden you have placed on my shoul ders, but of the standards of efficiency the standards of faith, the standard! of integrity, which must be main talned at all times by the man wht serves you and the policyholders lx this high office." Best of all, perhaps, he feels thai words are cheap, and that the public will be satisfied with nothing short ol performance. "My thanks, theretore,' he continues, "for an honor which out­ ranks any distinction within the reach of my ambition, cannot be expressed la wprds; they must be read out of the record I make day by day." "Soap Bubble Hanging frem a Reed." Our life is but a soap bubble hang­ ing from a reed; it Is formed, expands to its full size, clothes itself with the loveliest colors of the prism, and even escapes at moments from the law of gravitation; but soon the black speck appears in it and .the globe of emerald and gold vanishes Info space, leaving behind it nothing but a simple drop of turbid water. All the poets have made this comparison, it is so strik­ ing and so true.

When the sentence wan pronounced there was a remarkable1 outburst of applause from the Lun- dreds of persons who crowded Judg» Dunne's courtroom. Judge Dunne sen* tenced Mayor Schmltz to imprison-4, ment In San Quentin penitentiary.

Sev­ eral threw their liats into the air, others scrambled upon chairs to look' over the shoulders of the crowd and; the greatest confusion prevailed. U,. Attorney Falrall of the defense, raising his voice above the din, callea out to Judge Dunne: "Your honor, this cheering Is a verj] unseemly occurrence." "Well," retorted Judge Dunne, with) spirit, "if we bad' a sheriff worthy ofi the name it would have been stopped! instantly." Sheriff Thomas O'Neill was standing inside the rail. He turned to the court and protested. "Nobody could have stopped that your honor." The sentence of the convicted may* or was in one respect without a par­ allel in the criminal annals of 8att Francisco. Half a dozen times Judge Dunne was interrupted by Schmits, who protested in strong words against the "delivery of a lecture" instead of J~ the announcement of judgment.
