WASniGT05 LETTER.

Oar Cwaal Wkly nadlet From tbe Na tlonal CapUal-OoTentor KInkead, Mr. CarlUle, Etc. WAjHTNOTOf, Jan. 9. -Among th recent arrivals in Washington Is that of Hon. John H. Kinkesd, the first Governor of our far-off and little known poeeBsicns, Alaska. It is a curious fact that after paying $7,030,000 for Alasta, after La vir:? found it even as an unorganized Territory, bringing an annual income of a quarter of a million dollars Into the Treasury, and after knowing that the people of that taction were actcally Buffering for eome organized form of government, the authoritfis should have been nearly twenty years in taking steps to organize the simplest form of civil government there. And it is equally carious that after the law was enacted organizing this Government and providing means for carrying it into operation the Governor of that country should find it necessary to come here to urge that the work be done. "You gee," said Governor KInkead, as he sat in his comfortable room at Welcker's and stroked his gray beard thoughtfully, you see it was a six months' task to get a letter here and get action of any Eort. It seems strange, don't it? But it is a fact. Yoa see we only have mails once a mouth from there. Then It takes :t month for a letter to make tbe trip after it gets started. Then BO little is known here about the situation there that it would be almost impossible to cover the ground in one letter so that it would not be found necessary to ask some further questions, and the result miht be that the session of Congrr as would be past before action could be had. So I thought it beat to come and press my recommendations in person. I have not yet had an opportunity to learn the cause of the delay, but it is nevertheless a fact that much of the machinery which the act organizing the District of Alaska authorized and directed hai not yet been supplied. Even if all that the act contemplated had been supplied it would ftOVKRNOt KINK in. have been quite insuflicient to mee the wants of that great and very valuable country. But instead of that we have ?ot as near nothing a may be. There are, for instance, no laud laws, and as to the law governing tbe District, or under which the Government is to be administered, we have uo dt Unite information. The organic actdirecti tbe Attorney General to forthwith compile and cause to be printed and supplied to ns euch laws and parts of laws as are applicable to the duties of Governor, Attorney, Jud,ze Clerk, Marshal and Comniljsioner. but although those officers were mct of them there, the laws wer not presented for their cuidance. and we were entirely without them, and even without instructions of any tort. On my arrival there the commander of the naval station, who had been maintaining a police in Sitka, turned the fores over to me, eo that I was compelled either to assume the obligation or else run the risk of troubles growing out of dismissal of the entire force. The iniufSciency of the present laws is shown by the fact that, although Ounal&ska is made a judicial point with a resident Commissioner and Deputy Marshal, there is no authorized or direct communication with that point, andtoariil himself of the district court tribunal a prisoner or litigant must go by way 0. Sin Francisco, dependent for the journey upon occasional and private transportation, and raveling a distance of nearly 4,H miles, returning In the same manner. That, yim will Eremember, is a country of great dis tances and few accommodations. Wny, OnDalaska is 1,200 mile-i in a direct line fiom bitka, and the Fur Seal Islands, whU-.h tbe Governor is directed toyisit occasionally, aa though they were a few miles off the coast, are 1,500 miles away, with no means ot ' communication, unless it migtit be a method similar to that mentioned to reach Ounalaska." 'Alaska seems to be a pret.7 large conn trv. Governor?" '"About as large a all the State lying east of the Mississippi Kiver," Le laughed. "Yes, it is a muco larger country, and a much more important one, than Is generally suppoied." "Yoa have faith in ita future, then?' "Yes. treat faith. I do not look upon it likely to be a nlace where many peopi of Hiis country will want to go to live or to nske Icdivldoal fortunes.

The seal fur business, the hunting and fishing rroduetions, the timber of he richly timbered section, and the mining possibilities, make Alaska an extremely important section of oar conntry" "Are tbe mines rolng attract many iadividuala thre, as did those ot California ur Colorado?' "Xa: at least it is ta be hoped tbeywill not. It would result not only in great disappointments bnt in great sufferings. Tbe situation there is not what it was in tho West twenty or forty years ago.

mill ever put up, and yet there will be enough of this one mountain to keep them running at least ten years, as hard as they can work." "And are there more of these mountains. Governor?" "Apparently. I took a trip among the islands where this one is located, aud thouga w3 could not conveniently land to make any clcfe examinations, we could see with our g!sses that many of the other mountains were of qoartz, and it is reasonable to sap pos tL&t ttej may be of the same sort, though any miner will tell you that there is rio certaicty of it." "But where is the labor coming from to do all tha work needed for developing the mints and timer resources. The Indians war.'t work, will they?" -Yes. Seems strange, doesn't it? I confess that I, who had been accustomed to the ways cf the Indians of the Weat generativ, was greatly surprised to f.nd those of Alaska

And they do not ur ot 11 es the Indians of the Pacific country generally do. Tboee to whici I have ben acenstomed usually work a few days and then conclude themseves sufficiently wealthy. Those of Alaska, however, want to earn money and learn to live like white men. xhey want i50Ston ciotnes ana 'Beaten houses.' and all that eort of thing. You see they have three standards there, that of the natiye3, which they recognize as not up to tho?e of the whites; that of which they call tbe King George men, and that of the Boston mtn. J'.y the King ueorge men th?-y mean the English whom they used to know during the times of the Hudson Bay Vnr Company; by the Boston men they rucau the Arxtricans who have visited there aod from whom in the past rifteen years thty have gained a good deal of valuable inlorcdtlcn, bielde3 some that is tne reverse."

An English gentleman and wife, who have traveled ail over tbe woria, viüted there Ust summer and assured my that they had never, in their entire ex Wiience, found nothing to equal it." The Governor is tery earnest in recommending improved facilities for the whites there, and the spread of civilization and intelligence among the natives, who, he says, are ansious for an education as well as 'Boslon man's clothes and hou3ea." It is a rather singular and quite fortunate circumstance that the report of Ivan Fetroff, the special agent of the Census bureau; who MRS, CAKLISLX. made a pretty thorough studv of A!aka, should have been published jud at this time.

They are bought by two California companies. The country, which along the river is well wooded, seems to be comparatively bare, swampy and valueless in tue interior. The river swarms with halm on at certain periods of the year, at which time the native population swarm upou the shores, taking enough to last them as food for the yeer, buying some Hour, tea and sugar from the traders. This eection is as large aa the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. The population is about 7,000, among the number beirgKome twenty-rive whites 3. The Kuskovim division. This lies nsxt outh of tbe Yukon, and is the valley of another nver, similar in its general features and class ot population to the one just described.

the ?orj row of Islands stretching out to the southwest from the mainland. The people Lere are ol Bskimo origin, and support themselves by hunting the eea otter, the fur of which is very valuable. In some of the islands the hunters make as much as fi 0 pjr year each. They spend their money freely for clothing, dressing in the latest fashion of "Hotton clothing" when not at work, supporting churches and a few ectiools. They are quits extravagant in their expenditures in many cases- On the whole bowever their condition is eo much better than these mentioned above as to appear quite confortable.

It is about the siz9 ot Olio and Indiana, haj a moderately mild climate so that potatoes and turnip? are cultivated. The natives, known as "Thlinkits" or more commonly as Koloshes, are, with those of the Southeastern division still further south, the best class of Alaskan population. They have churches, established by the Russians long ago, and some degree of civilization, fairly comfortable houses and some ambition to live in "Boston men style." The population is i,.r00, and supports itsalt by hunting, a little fishing and hunting of sea otter, and a very little agriculture. C. The Southeastern division. This is the narrow neck of Alaska running down tbe west coast of British America, which was annexed to Alaska through the exertions of liaranof, about tbe beginning of the present century. It partakes of the character of tbe west coast of British America It is densely wooded; mountainous, with mild climate, the thermometer teldoni falling below zro, bnt with a great deal of "falling weather," rain and in summer and snow in winter.

It is in this eection that tbe town of Sitka, the seat of government of that vast conntry, is situated.
