A bill lien been introduced in the senate -
ate to create a territorial govemmott for
Alaskn , and there is very littlodoubtthat
it will beeomo a law , I'resideut Arthur
referred to this subject in his message ,
atnr recommmlded that congress create x
governnent for Alaska. There can he
no valid ubjectlun mate to ft. ' /t is now
fifteen yearn since Seward ncgrititetcd the
pwrchaso of Alaska front Russia for
$7,000,000. That vaaL oxteut of territory
line since its purchase beoii loft almost
outiroly alone , as much so , in fact , as if it
had beau ut Central Africa , had it boon
a colony of England or Franco it would
have had sonic sort of government long
ngo.
ngo.No civilized nation would have treated
any portion of its territory with such
gross neglect. Its boundaries have
never been ofHclally defined , and all we
know of its populatiol is of a very vague
character. Its fact nil that in kuown
concerning Alaska is mostly guess work ,
'rho information concerning its resources
has been obtained from adventurers , and
no oxplora jolts of any kind have been
made except in the extreme southern
portions. The supposition is that it co1
tains about 360,000,000 acres. We are
told by adventurers , minors , 'hunters ,
and whalenun that Alaska has gold , all
vol. , copper , iron , and coal ; that it
abounds in fur bearing animals , which
are preyed upon to a large oxtentby a fur
company ; that it has immense forests of
valuable timber , nhd that it has extensive
fisheries. Those resources of themselves
should be sufficient grounds for a territorial -
torial govenunent , under whose direction
the territory could be surveyed and explored -
plorod , and ita resources definitely ascor-
tajned and developed. The main objuc
time to a govurnnieiit has 1)0011 that the
population comiaists principally of Indians ,
But had there been a government , there
would have beat a white population in
Alaska years ago. It is not reasonable
to 8111)P030 that civilized people will migrate -
grate in any great numbers to a country
entirely without government and law ,
San Francisco is greatly interested in
Alaska and demands tlrrt it be given a
governmental organization. The trade
that can be derived from that territory
will no doubt Provo valuable to the City
of the Golden Gate , The San Francisco
Chronicle , in treating upon this subject ,
nays ;
"To go no further than making it a
jndical district would be a bid for signal

governor to execute the laws , a Logiila-

them. If Alaska has nut euuugh civilized

At the eleventh hour , when the French
and'Chineso dogs of war have been tin-
chained , Jolur Bull stops into the arena
as mediator. British commercial interests -
ests are seriously menaced , not only in
China but in Victoria's whole Asiatic
empire , In fact England has mono at
stake in a warbetwoon Franco and China
than the French , or for that matter , the
Chinese. England is in no condition at
present to dispatch the greater part of
her navy to Chinese Craters to protect
the interests of her citizens , at a me-
mont whet her navy is needed near the
Ited Sea mid on the coast of Africa. This
explauia the undue activity of the Brit-
isle cabinet in ofroring to negotiate an
amicable settlement of the differences
bOtwoon the French and Chinese ,
An a preliminary stop toward protect-
jug British interests in China , the Ferry
cabinet have boon notified b ytho British
authorities that a blocado of tire Chinese

a rather humiliating position at the out.
set , for her helplessness has been published -
lished to the world , and also is seriously
crippled ju her contest with the middle
kingdom.
So long as China has reason to
lend an assault upon her great connmor-
ciul canters by an overwhelming naval
force , there was always a chance that she
might reconsider her declared intention
of opposing the advance of the French in
Totquin. But if , through the intorven
Lion of European states , the war is to be
strictly localized in the Song koi delta ,
Chimia has nothing to fear from France ,
whose forces are likely to be wasted away ,
as they were in Mexico , in an inglorious
ani interminable atrugglo.
'Toro have been of late many indica
Lions that British manufacturers amid
merchants would not consent to be slut
out fronn the Chinese market. merely to
further the aggressive schemes of France
in Further India , and it Cvaa not to be
expected that their protests would be
uuhoedod by a liberal ministry , which
represents the industrial nu opposed to
the landholding interests.
