HOW IT AROSE.
The Skagway Alaskan gives t.hh
! explanation of how the einbroglis
j between the United States and Japan
! over the San Francisco school ques
! tion came about:
“The answer to the question of how
the trouble arose” says the Alaskan,
"is the story of two American blun
ders, one by the Cleveland adminis
tration in 1814 and the other by
President Roosevelt twelve years
later.
In 1894 representatives of President
Cleveland and the mikado made a
treaty wherein the United States
pledged to Japan the same rights in
American schools that were accorded
other foreigners. The clause attract
ed little attention, and the treaty was
ratified by the senate.
At tire opening of the public schools
iu San Francisco last fall for the
present school year, the Japanese
students were separated from the
white pupils and placed in schools
maintained for Asiatics. The Japan
ese objected to this, and their consul
at San Francisco appealed to the
Japanese government to prevent it.
It due course the Japanese Ambass
ador, arrayed in official habiliments,
called upon the American state de
partment and directed attention to the
fact that the provisions of the treaty
of 1894 were being violated at San
Francisco. The matter was referred
to President Roosevelt.
Then was committed the second
American blunder. In his impetuous
way, before he had looked into the
legal status of the affair, President
Roosevelt personally assured the
•Japanese ambassador that he treaty
would be enforced.
The San Francisco school board
stood upon its rights. It asserted
that it had a legal right under the
law of California to do as it did, and
it protested that it was immune from
federal interference. It refused to
comply with the demand of the presi
dent that the Japanese students be
admitted to the white schools.
President Roosevelt finally came to
understand his inability to make bis
promise to enforce the treaty good.
He opened negotiations with the San
Francisco people and it was agreed
that if Japanese exclusion could be
secured the board would rescind its
action. That was the basis of the
compromise that has been adopted.
The price paid by President Roose
velt to make good his promise that
conditions at San Francisco would be
changed in accordance with Japam^e
demands will be understood wnln
one considers that he has been a
strong opponent of Japanese exclusion
for many years, and that his first
thought was a regulation of the Jap
anese situation by making citizens of
the little brown men.”
In the Harness Again.—A. P.
Swineford, an early publisher of the
Marquette Mining Journal, nnd later
territorial governor of Alaska, is
actively in the newspaper harness
again, The Mining Journal having
received the first number of the Ketch
ikan, Alaska, Mining News, of
which Mr. Swineford is editor. He
has made his home at Ketchikan for
the past several years and has pre
viously been identified with news
paper enterprises there, but has been
out of the harness for the past year
or two. The new Ketchikan Mining
News is one of the best appearing
papers that has ever come out of
Alaska, being printed in a first class
plant that among other things has a
tpyesetting machine. Under Mr.
Swineford's able guidance it will be
the pre-eminent newspaper power of
the territory and may always be de
pended on to labor unceasingly for
Alaska’s advancement and prosperity.

St.. Peter settin’ at de gate;
Nigger passin’ by—
St. Peter up an’ sez ter him:
“How did you ccme ter die?”
“Go ax de man whut belt de gun
A’pintin’ at dat roos’;
Go ax de dog whut helt my foot
An’ wouldn’t turn it loose!”
“An’ so, St. Peter sez ter him,
“You wuz kotcli in de ae’?”
Dat nigger turnt and looked at him
An’ spon’s: “Hit is a fac’.”
“Down in de pit den you mus’ go
Per stealin’ uv dat hen!”
The nigger s'cratch his haid right
hard—
St. Peter had him den!”
But ‘drectly, liftin' up his arms,
He flop ’em on his side,
An’ 'zactly like a rooster crow
Three times out loud he cried!
St. Peter hung his haid wid shame—
He 'membered uv his sin—
An’ grabin' up a great big key,
He let dat nigger in!

LINCOLN’S REPARTEE.
Uncle Joe Cannon tells this new
and characteristic one on “Honest
Abe” Lincoln: “It was at the
Illinois state convention at Decutar,
held to name delegates to the national
convention that nominated Lincoln
for the presidency. After the prayer
a cry was started on the platform:
“Open a passageway! Open a pass
ageway I Let Dennis Hanks and Dick
Oglesby through! They have some
rails that Dennis Hanks and Abe
Lincoln made in 1830. ’
“They came in with the rails,
which had a piece of cotton cloth
rolled around them bearing the
legend: ‘These rails were made by
Dennis Hanks and Abraham Lincoln
in 1830. ’
“They were walnut rails, such as
would be hard to find now, but there
was plenty of that kind of fine hard
wood in those days. The crowd went
wild and it was some time before
order was restored. There was a yell
for Lincoln.
“At this stage of the proceedings
some fellow yelled out: ‘Abe, did you
split them rails?’ Said he: ‘Dennis
Hanks says I split those rails. 1 don't
know whether I did not not, but I
have made many a better one!’ Then
the crowd yelled. ’ ’—New Y'ork World.
WOULDN’T DO FOR A DOG.
Several young men were standing
before the desk in the Shirley Hotel
yesterday afternoon talking about
dogs. One of them thought he’d
bother the telephone girl by drawing
her into the discussion. She is pretty
and good-natured, but yesterday
afternoon she was very busy.
“Say, Bessie,” said the young
man,” “what kind of dogs do you
like?”
The girl found time to say, “Fox
terriers. ”
“Y'ou do?”
“Y'es; I’d just love to have a nice
little fox terrier. ”
“Gee!” said the young man. “I’d
like to be a little fox .terrier.”
The girl smiled. “You might
not fill the bill,” she said.
“Why not?” he asked.
“Because,” she replied, after
answering a call. “I’d want one
bright enough to be taught some
thing.’—Denver Post.
BY' ANOTHER NAME.
“Senator, do you think that graft
will eventually be eliminated from
politics?”
“YVithout doubt, ” replied Senator
Badger, assuredly. “But I think
there will still be many politicians
susceptible to certain persusaive in
fluences that will be known by
another name.”—Milwaukee Sentinel.
A GOOD REASON.
“So your servant girl has left you
again?” said Mrs. Naybor.
“Y'es,” repied Mrs. Suburbs.
“What was the matter?”
“She didn't like the way I did the
work.”—Philadelphia Press.
F. O. E.
Some one having questioned the
probable longevity of the Fraternal
order of Eagles, was given the follow
ing poetical reply:
When the lions eat grass like an ox,
And the fishworm swallows the
whale,
When the robins knit wollen sox,
And the hare outrun by the snail,
When the sea serpent stands right up
like men
And doodle bugs travel like frogs;
When grasshoppers feed like the hen,
And feathers are found on hogs,
When the Thomas cats swim thro’
the air
And elephants roost on trees;
When insects in summer are rare,
When snuff never makes you sneeze,
When fish creep over dry land.
And mules on bicycles ride;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And hearts of true Eagles of stone,
When Dutchmen no longer drink
beer
And girls go to preaching on time;
When Billy Goats butt from the rear,
And treason no longer is a crime.
When ideas grow in a baboon’s
head,
And wool on the hydraulic ram,
Then will the order of Eagles be
dead,
And the country won't be worth a d-n
The liquor tax, occupation tax,
forest reserve restrictions, and with
drawing the coal lands were all no
doubt designed to encourage the
hardy pioneer to settle in Alaska.—

LOCAL HAPPENINGS
i
. Louis Levy, the hustling fur buyer,
’ has been in town again this week, as
The Mining News prophesied he
would be. .
W. J. Sully has commenced work
on his proposed new cottage, in the
rear of his carpenter shop on Grant
street. It is intended for the occupa
tion and use of his employes.
The enlargement and extension of
the Heckman wharf, in length and
breadth, is nearly completed, making
it the largest and most easily accessi
ble wharf in Southeastern Alaska.
L. D. Colvin, or as he is more fam
iliarly known to his many friends
“Dick,” has been in town this week
from Maple bay, waiting for a ship
on which to embark for Seattle where
he goes to see his mother, who is ill.
The Metlakahtla in-ass band, under
the leader ship of Prof. Gordon, will
lie the attraction at the Elite roller
skating rink tomorrow night. There
will be no charge for admission—only
50 and 75 cents for the use of ladies’
and gentlemen's skates, respectively.
But you can do better at Taylor's,
the Jeweler.
John R. Beegle, deputy collector of
customs, had the luck to present
prescription No. 10,000 to the Ryus
Drug Co. to he filled, for which he
had placed to his credit the five
dollars advertised in this paper to be
awarded to the person holding the
prescription answering to that number.
Dr. Zuber, Dentist, Frye-Bruhn big.
Geo. A. Brown is in town from his
copper-gold property at Big harbor,
west coast of Prince of Wales, where
he has a shaft down to a depth of 57
feet in a ledge carrying more than
ordinarily high values in copper and
gold. The property is located about
2000 feet from tidewater, and is a
sinking proposition ; in other words,
will have to be worked through
shafts sunk along the course of the
ledge. He has about 50 tons of high
grade ore in his dumps, all of which
came from the shaft in winch he
has been working. Negotiations are
pending for the taking over of the
property on bond or purchase which,
if consumated will most probably re
sult in the speedy development of
another profitable mine of copper and
gold.
New Custom House, Perhaps.— The
Redmen have submitted a proposition
and plans of a two story building
which they propose to erect on the
triangular piece of ground, adjoin
ing their hall at the corner of Main
and Mission streets, to be occupied
for custom house purposes. The plans
have been forwarded to Washington,
and if approved the building will be
erected without unecessary delay.
Dr. Zuber, Dentist. Frye-Brnhn big.
Road Wanted.—A petition, form
ulated by commissoner Rush, of
Kasaan, one of the owners of the
Rush and Brown mine at Karta bay,
has been circulated and largely sign
ed. asking the U. S. road commission to
provide for the construction of a
wagon road from the head of Kasaan
bay across Prince of Wales island to
a point on Klawak inlet, opposite the
settlement of that name. The Min
ing News has every confidence in the
belief that the commission will
accord the petition its earnest consid
eration.
Watch your watch, and if it doesn't
keep good time take it to Taylor, the
Jeweler.
