ALASKAN TERRITORY. ConffreMlo'uU Comutl it«M Preparing tb« Way for Action—B<tt«r Go Vermont U Demanded—Tbo Time Not Considered Ripe f# Fail Terri to rial Government, on Account of the Tr tnaltory Nature of the Population. Washington, Dec 31.—The senate and house committei s on public lands and on territories ar s at work on legislation for Alaska j re paring the way for action by the two houses. The matter has been talked over in committees and there will be some decisive action shortly after i,he holiday recess. The chief problem is to provide for a better government. Secretary Bliss recommended in his annual report that Ala&a be made a regular organ) zed territory. The sentimec tof the committee is that the time is not. yet ripe; that the population, practically dependent on the rich mining strikes,is a roving one, and that even towns having a large population to-day may be abandoned to-morrow. It is p -obable that there will be some enlargement of its present government as preferable to a general system of local legislation and territorial organization. The jurisdiction of federal officials there, may be extended \ and their number increased. This is tj be a temporary bridging over of the problem until the transitory feature ol the population is largely eliminated. As to the extension in toto of the general land laws, the sentiment is now that the Lacy bill providing for this, is too sweeping. The right-of-vvay ac; for railways, etc.; carried by the Lacey bill is likely to be modified, while there will be some special legislation for the protection of timber. The homestead laws will be extended. Mineral and townsite laws already are in fo ce. A prime difficulty is . the absence of surveys, and it is said that, in all probability there are some port ons of Alaska that never will be surveyed. This interferes with the operation of the public laud law extension. THE GOOD OF THE MANY. Why Gov. Atlanta F non Postal Saving. Basks. Denver, Col., Dec. 31.—Gov. Adams, who is president of the Pueblo Saviugs bank, received a U tter yesterday from Bradford, Rhodes >i Co., bauking publishers of New York, iu the efforts to be made by saviugs bauk officials to prevent the establishment of postal savings banks. I he governor .immediately wrote a reply in which he said: “While I can sen some objections tc postal savings banks, the bulk of the argument seems t> me to be in favor of their establishment. * “The interests A the people appear to demand that tbe government should give them a place of deposit that is beyond question secure. Believing this, 1 overlook my interest as an investor in a saviugs bank for large tbe interest of those who would be interested in postal savings banks.”

A LESSON WELL LEARNED. Venezuela Want* Reciprocity with the Coltad States. Washington, Dec. 81.—It is said that one of the purposes of the present visit to Washington ■•If the United States minister to Venezuela, Mr. Loomis, is to start negotiatons fora reciprocity treaty between Venezuela and the United States. This is rather an unexpected step, as Venezuela was one of the few South American countries which did not mase a reciprocity treaty under the former system. At this time, however, Venezuela suffered by having her coffee practically excluded from the United States because Brazil and other eoflfet-producing countries bad the reduced duties under the; reciprocity treaties. This experience make Venezuela one of the first southern republics to consider the question of a reciprocity treaty under" the Dingley law. V . MILITARY TYRANNY.
