Allowances msds by th packer for hides, oleo fst and other by-products were meed through th different books of account by months In an effort to show that th amounts credited wer less than th market value.

It-There are se rious defects In th general mining Isws of th United States as applied to A aiki and thee defects are becoming more apparent Is th opinion of Governor Clark, expressed In his annus) report to Secretory of the Interior Fisher. The existence of provisions which tend to retard development and to encourage mors speculation has been complained about frequently by progressive mining men In the United States, he says, and adds: "In Alaska there still is more ground for complaint, for th owners of mining elatms In many cases reside elsewhere and have no Intention of operating their claim. Th mottv to develop as a con dition of ownership Is entirely wanting ta Alaska." One of the worst discouragements to mining development under present condi tions, he asserts, m the frequent snd long drawn out litigation In the courts over mining claims and water rights ahlch the present system Induces. Com menting on th fsct that there was no increase In population In Alaska daring the hut year. Governor Clark declares that "any considerable increase In the population of th territory must await a more liberal governmental policy as a whole.

PARIS, Jan. IS. The readiness of such prominent men ss Leon Bourgeois, ArisUde Brian, Theophils Delcasss and Alexandre Mlllerand to accept minor phvasa la th ostiuset loomed by Raymond Polncar has created a pro found impression In France. Their ac ceptance Is generally regarded as a striking evidence of th solidarity, self- sacrifice and patriotism of Frenchmen at a time of national need. Th press of all opinions todsy com ment on the strength of the new minis try. Even tb monarchlstic Galons ad mits that it Is th greatest cabinet ever formed sine th foundation of ths third republic. The circumstances of the fell of the cabinet of M. Caillaux have thrown Into discussion th whole question of the par liamentary form of government. It Is pointed out that Frenchmen both at home and abroad realise that the great- eat defect of modern France la to be found In the bitter lnternsl dissensions and conflicts of the parties and In the lack of unity concerning problem affect ing the progress of the nstlon. Coatlaally t Fellry Needed. The general feeling prevails that what France needs Is a government of stabil ity and that continuity of policy is ren dered difficult by frequent changes In th ministries snd the absence of cen tralised responsibility. Tbe lessons of the past have Induced Frenchmen to grant little power to the president of the republic, but wonder Is now expressed whether this system has worked out practically. A distinguished parliamentarian gave his opinion on th new cabinet todsy as follows: "I regard this cabinet, which contains th best of the men of the French nation, as ths test of parliamentarism. If a cabinet composed of such men is Id be overthrown on some petty Issue it will b Urn for all Frenchmen to conside seriously some change in the form of government." A new feature of th present ministry Is that Ariatld Brian d. th minister of Justice, la named vie president of the cabinet which means that he will repre sent the government In Parliament and elsewhere In th absence of Premier Bern cal.

Baron Fuchs also Insisted that tbe In timate relations which hare for so lor.g existed between Austria and Germany are becoming weaker as th result of Austria's failure to support her ally dur ing th Moroccan crisis. He likewise oomplsins that Austria's relations with the Russisn empire bed not been weU Landled. Baron Fuchs is said to have demanded an explanation from the Austrian foreU-n minister. Count Alois Lexas Von Aehrenthal. of .tha sstd differences be tween Austria and Germany, of which he la said he possessed accurst knowl edge: but the foreign minister maintained absolute silence on th subject. Baron Fuchs, therefore, considered that he was perfectly Justified In expressing publicly his dissatisfaction witht Count Von Aehrenthal's foreign policy. Prvsldeat af Fsrsgssr Rewtsaa. BUENOS AYRBS.
