Points from Gor. Knapp's Annual Report to the Secretary of the Interior. Too Much Liquor Sold and the Laws Inefficient Products of the Territory Story About a Ten The Lumber Tariff. ALASKAN AFFAIRS. Sale of Vile Liquor the Curse of the TerritorySealing, Fishing and Exports. Washington, Oct. 7. Tieman E. Knapp, Governor of Alaska, in his annual report to Secretary Noble, says that the law prohibiting the sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquorsin the Territory is a dead letter, except as to tho Indians. Liquors of the vilest quality are sold openly and in violation of the law, even to those whose families aro suffering for the necessities of life. The reason assigned for the inefficiency of the law, the Governor says, is that prosecutions would be of no account. Grand juries refuse to indict, and petit jnries refuse to convict. Legislation which would provide more effective machinerv for the enforcementof the present law would undoubtedly. IUD VJUVCIUUT IIJIUKH, ttliUtUUBUiUUUU Ui the perplexing question. Ilecalls attention to the inadequacy of the laws for the administration of justice, preserving the peace and holding criminals for trial, and recommends that a commission consisting in part, at least, of gentlemen acquainted with the country and its needs, be appointed to prepare a short code of special laws to be submitted to Congress. In us, he thinks, some of the more senous difficulties might be met The work of the government schools, of whioh there are fourteen, the Governor says, are measurably . satisfactory, though the attendance was not large, the children preferring to hunt and fish, and the parents being indifferent About one hundred thousand full-sized seal-skins were taken by the Alaska Commercial Company during the year under their contract with the government,' and probably half as many more were captured at sea and . stolen by poaching vessels. Other furs, such as bear, mink, otter, etc., are taken in largo numbers. The cod-fishing industry, though not insignificant, is - stated to be far from what it should be. Some of the exports - during the lastvear are enumerated below: Whalebone, $1,159,905; whale oil, $172,500; codfish. $555,000; salmon, 3,355,000; gold (estimated), $2,000,000; fur seals, $2,000,000; all other exports, sufficient to make the total $9.&10,730. Considerable activity has been manifested, but no excitement in connection with the various mining interests. The Governor recommends that provision for acquiring titlo to land be afiorded by the general government; that mail facilities be increased; that government hospitals be established. Authorised representation in Congress, the Governorsays, should be provided. The presence in Washington every winter, ho says, of unauthorized persons assuming to voice the sentiment of the people, and by their mistakes (to use no stronger terms) is, he says, doing infinite mischief; hence, the recommendation as to authorized representation.

The difference in the count of St Paul as announced unofficially, on Sept 13 by Special Agent Wardle, oi 133,S01 and the official count made by the Census Office as announced to-day, or 183,156. is due solely to duplication of names discovered in the schedules by the special agent in charge, after transmission to the oificeat Washington. These duplications were chietly in the work of special enumerator John D. Haddon. All the accounts for the enumerators who were employed in making the re-enumeration have been passed forward for payment to the disbursing clerk of the Census Office. MINOIt MATTERS. Story About the Pen Used by the President In Signing the Washington Statehood Act. Special to tbo Indlanaixnla Journal. Washington, Oct 7. A terrible rumor is in circulation here which, if true, will cause some consternation among the patriotic people of the new State of Washington. There is lying in a beautiful glass in the Capitol of that youthful commonwealth a pen-holder of native ebony, cut in the forests that shelter Puget sound, and a large and beautiful pen of gold, made from the products of one of Washington's roost famous mines. This pen and holder bear a label which informs the public that they were used by the President of the United States to sign the act of Congress enabling Washington to become a State, and were presented to the people by Mr. J. W. Robinson. It is true that Mr. Robinson brought this pen to Washington for the President to use in signing tho enabling act, but it did not work, and so the President picked up one of the ordinary wooden pen-bdiders and bteel stubs that he commonly uses aud which cost about five cents a dozen, aud signed the bill with that.

HE HAS CHANGED HIS TUNE

Senator Yoorbees Kneels to tbe Farmers' Organization lie Recently Fonght. Miners of the Coal Region Fail to Attend Ilia Meeting Illinois Farmers Decline to Go Into State Politics. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind.. Oct 7. Senator D. W. Voorhees addressed the Democracy here today. The event had been extensively advertised throughout the farming and mining districts, and every eftort possible had been put forth for a grand rally. The weather was all that could have been desired. Notwithstanding all this, the grand rally did not materialize, and there was manifest disappointment ou the faces of those most interested. The disappointment was greatest over the absence of the miners. Strong efforts wero made to get the miners to turu out, but for tho greatest part they were at work, or declined to devote the day to Democracy. Mr. Voorhees .read a carefully-prepared address, in which he arraigned the "money power," to which he attributed all existing national evils. Incidentally he hung Carnegie again, though in a mildly apologetic, way. Then followed, at greatlength, a bid for tho farmers vote. Said he: "Farmers as a class are poorer than they were twenty years ago, as a result of special class legislation that devours their crops and their herds, and even the value of their land. I rejoice in farmers' organizations, particularly the Farmers' Mutjial Benefit Association." He belonged, of course, to the ranks of toil, farmers' toil especially, end he saw in the association a revolt against Republicanism in favor of Democracy. A few farmers were out. but none of them agreed with the imputation that the association was a Democratic aid society. He addressed no words directly to the miners, owing, doubtless, to their absence. Clay is a close county, bnt one more such rally will completely destroy what little prospect the Democrats have of electing even a portion of their ticket. Failed to Hold a Farmers Convention. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Mattoon, 111., Oct 7. The farmers' State convention, called to meet in this city to-day, was a failure, owing to the. fact that the call was irregular, ill-advised and without authority from anybody or from any farmers', or allied industrial organization. The call first appeared in the Casey Acorn, which advocates thoF. M. B. A. principles, but no names were signed to it Copies were sent to the Chicago Express and other farm and industrial papers, but scarcely any of them gave it credence, and the attendance to-day was only a few straggling delegates who happened to read the Express and a few local F. M. B. A. papers. A committee of five, consisting of G. W. Wickline, of Nashville; Robert McConnell, of Peoria: J. M. Thompson, of Joliet; James Washburn, of Marion, and C. A. Smith, reported against any action being taken, and the thirty-two persons from outside the county, together with less than one hundred from Mattoon and vicinity, who were present f.s members of the mass-meeting, decided to adjourn. No person or party was found to father the lame call. A Thirty-second district legislative convention, called under similar auspices, though signed by three Cumberland county men who belong to tbe F. M. B. A., was held in an adjoining hall, and likewise adjourned because the call was without proper authority. Thus ends tho second effort to nut F. M. B. A. candidates minefield in this district.

Among tbe candidates present who came forward and announced themselves were Frank F. Dean, for joint Representative; Victor K. Officer, for county Representative; James Graham, for auditor, and Al Roberts for commissioner. Hon. Will M. Amsden, county school suFerintendent, also spoke briefly, and as saac Earhart was also found in good company, he was courteously called forward and allowed to present bis claims as a Democrat for county treasurer an office which Mr. Dauiel H. Demaree will occupy when Edgar Bishop's term expires. The Campaign in Clinton County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Frankfort, Ind., Oct, 7. The Republican campaign in Clinton county was formally opened this afternoon by speeches at the opora-house by Hon.

Morrow, of California, addressed a large and enthusiastic Republican meeting here to-night His was the first political speech of the campaign in this point of the Tenth congressional district, and, although it was convened on a few hours' notice, the interest manifested was very encouraging to the party organization. .

Attempts to Drire Across a Railway Bridge in a Buzcy and Nearly Causes a Wreck. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Greenville, O., Oct. 7. a eensation was caused here by the Tesult of yesterday's spree of a well-known physician of this county. Dr. Dorwin, a resident of Gettysburg, eight miles east of here. The particulars astonish the community. He occasionally visits this place with his thoroughbred-driving horse and stylish buirgy, and yesterday, or rather early this morning, ho quit only when the wheels refused to go round. Having put in the day about tho streets and at the bar, he delayed his final drive until about midnight, when he drove north on the Dayton it Union railroad from Water street. Coming to the largo bridge, 100 feet long and 25 feet high, over Greenville creek, with ties 5 inches or so apart, he forced bis faithful nag to venture a trip over the bridge. In obedience to commands the attempt was made aud was almost a success. The horse crossed on tho ties, pulling buegy and master to within about twenty feet of the end, when by a misstep tbe front and hind feet went down between the ties aud, of course, it could go no further. Tho Doctor climbed from his conveyance and managed to laud himself back at tho starting point. Finally.leaving his horse and buggy behind, he procured lodging in tho Denniston boarding-house, where ho was afterward arrested, aud lined 40 and costs. which he paid. The midnight freight on this road from Dayton was about two hours behind, or a terrible wreck and loss of life would have occurred. A citizen living near the bridge notified the nipht otlicers, and by sawing two ties and using ropes they succeeded in dragging out the horse and vehicle. The freight train rushed by only aboat a half an hour after the rescue: of the horse. Thrown Into the Hirer by a Landslide. Quebec, Oct. 7.
