MAXV PKItSONH unfamiliar with war or with mllitaiy operations have a very hazy conception of the pmlilem Involved In conveying and sup plying nn army on a foreign campaign, nnie fart" mentioned Incidentally in Secretary Hoot's recent report shed light upon this Mibject, and show that to send 10,000 men many miles by land and water Into a Minugc country, a uis dune with tho American part of the I'ekln lellef expedition, is no laughing matter. Kor example: Thu supplies sent from this country and .Manila to China, in addition to the ordinary supplies which the troops e.iniedwith them, included 4, GG6 horses; -,'U'S mules jnd 222 large army wagons; .'!1 ambulances: G.2J3 toi.s of oats; 4,(iSt tons of buy; I,'J1S,."4.". feet of lumber; 7 distilling plants, with capacity of 4,400 gallons jie- day; r,0 .sterilizers; 9,100 gal lons of oil: 77."! boilers for boiling water; l.lofl heating stoves with pipe; 5GG ranges and ovens with utensils: 12 water wagons; 1,000 coffee and wash boilers; S3.CR0 pounds of hoiseshoes; 120,000 pounds of mule shoes; 20,500 pounds horseshoe nails, and a great varletv of other articles for black smiths', wheelwrights', farriers', nnd carpenters' use; 10,000 wool blankets; 10,000 lined blouses; 14,000 warm caps; 40,000 canton llurinol draweis; 27,000 wool undershirts; 20,000 pairs of wool gloves; 1S.00O overcoats; 12,000 cam paign hats; lfi.noi) pairs of arctic over shoes, 2.",,u0O llannel shirts; 20,000 pairs of siloes: 20..100 pairs of trousers; S0.0O0 pairs of stockings; 1,303 conical wall and hospital tents in addition to the common tents, together with a great v.nlety of other articles for clothing and camp use. In addition to all this, the .subsist ence depaitment shipped from the t'nlted States and Manila 10.9S4.620 pounds of subsistence stores; the medi cal department, in addition to the equipment of the hospital ship Relief and the legular medical attendance of the organizations, sent full equipment lor a field hospital of 1,000 beds, with roll medical supplies, and took the nec essary stops fur the establishment of an additional base hospital at Nagas aki; the signal corps piovided all the material and personnel for the con mi uctlnu and operation of 23r miles of teiegiaph line, together with the signal Hags, heliographs, lanterns, telescopes, etc., for visual signaling service; en gineer implements and materials were shipped fiom Manila, and the ueces-,-aiy reserve of equipment and aims, with an adequate equipment of lapic 11 ie guiv. with ammunition, and with over 1,000,000 rounds of small-anus am munition, weieiromptly provided fop by the ordnance department. Then when tho expedition got to Taku, the einbaiklng point on the Chinese const, the gulf was so shallow that the trans ports hiul to anchor ten miles from shore and all of the men, animals, ord nance, and supplies had to be carried to the landing in small boats, most of the time in a tempestuous sea. Those wci ij a few of the iiroblcnis which had to he solved out of hand by our .war department last summer In addition to Its ilKlleulties in Porto Itlco, Cuba, the United States proper; Alasltn, Hawaii, and the Philippines. The present session of congress gives promise of lowering tho records in" tho way of rapid transaction of business, The Eskimos. IN ,TUIC ANNUAL report of the "governor of Alaska, attention la failed to tho necessity for legls- latlon denning tho legal status of' tho natives of that territory, who promise to endow the icpubllc with it new race problem at no distant duy. According to Qovernoi Urndy whole communities of Kskinios have aban doned tho old style of living nnd have adopted tho vocations of the whlto man. Then engage In tho hardest Ulnd of labor In the mines, logging camps nnd Eiiwmllls; they work upon wharves or as, deck hands nr coal passers on steamships, nnd a few en gage In mercantile) pur&ults. in no re spect have they been a burden slnco American occupation of Alaska began. They aspire to citizenship, which will enable them to locate mining claims, take out licenses as steam engineers and pilots, and to compote with tho wlilto cottiers who nro crowding upon them. If they commit crime they find th(t they are held nmenable to whlto man'M5 Jaw; they wish to enjoy Us ben efits also. Congressional action which will enable native Alaskans to become Aiuorlc.an citizens Is strongly urged. ITpon tho subject of their merits the governor Is enthuslnstlc.

If the majority has not the right to claim the party name and sanction, a claim conceded by the Record with regard to the nominees of tho last state conven tion, whoso names It ran at the head of Its editorial columns during the recent campaign, It remains to be explained on what ground tho minority can make and defend such a claim. Must major ity rule be waived whenever a minor ity objects? On that basis how long could party organization endure? Canal Estimates. -MK REPORT of the latest I iranslsthmian caunl com- J mission on tho subject of the Nicaragua waterway presents some new data. Notable among these is its estimate of the cost, ?200,ri40,000, for a mean low-water depth of 3.1 feet with a bottom i width of ISO feet. This is tho highest cost estimate yojt put forward, but the commission figures that a deep and wide canal would be cheaper In the end than u smaller one which would eventually have to be enlarged. A width of 150 feet will allow all but the very largest ships to pass each other in (he canal, while tho locks are of a dimension to permit even the largest ships alloat to bo maneuvered. The size of locks is 740 feet length, SI feet width in the clear, with a deptli of 35 feet. The route advocated by the com mission follows essentially the lines laid down by the Nicaragua canal commission in its report of 1S97-1&99. It begins near Grcytown on the Atlan tic side, follows tho San Juan river, enters l,ake Nicaragua and terminates at lrito on the Pacific side. The dis tance from ocean to ocean is about ISO miles. Plans are given for the great haibors required at Greytown and Brito. The most difficult engineering work Is the dam acioss the San Juan liver to icgulate the waters of th lake. The time required to build the canal hinges almost entirely on the time required for the construction of this dam. The commission says eight yeais would probably be a reasonabli! estimate lor the time of building it. At least two years will be consumed in preparatory work and opening a harbor at Greytown, so that If work on the dam should bo commenced im mediately thereafter, the time re quired for completing the entire work will be about ten years. The cost es timate mentioned above can be re duced 1 9,078,000 if a single instead of a. double lockage system shall lie chosen: and .?lo',949,000 further if the bottom shall be narrowed onc-thlid, thus bringing tho cost down to $IG'!, i,U,C00. The estimated cost of the Panama unite is $142,342,n7fi, which is capable of i eduction to $115X1,215 by tho uso of single locks and a nun owed bottom. The Nicaragua route li favored be causo its distances are shorter, be cause it is mote favorable to sailing vessels because the country through which it passes la better adapted lo development, because it is not compli cated bv grants to foreigners, and be cause, while a vessel could pass through the Panama, canal In 12 hours while requiring 23 aoura to go through the Nicaragua canal, the distance from San Fianelsco to New York Is 377 miles, to New Orleans fi79 miles and to Liverpool 3S0 miles shorter by the Nic aragua than by tho Panama route, nunc than making up the difference, It has been argued that if the United States should construct the Nicaragua cunal on terms not exactly satisfac tory to some of the Kuropenn powors they might secure control of tho Pan ama route uiul construct a competitive canal. The commission naturally docs not touch upqn this point, but a ifnt.it reply H available In tho eelobrate words of Secretary Richard Olney, written July 20, 1S95- "Today the United States Is practically sovereign op this continent, and Its flat Is law upon tho subjects to whli;h It confines Its interpositions," Its flat to stop wciild make short work of any com petitive) scheme dictated by unfriend ly purposes. Dr. Schaeffor advises that the mill ion dollar state school appropriation, If restored, shall be used for the "better ment of schools, and not for tho i educ tion of locul taxation or in tho pur chase of useless apparatus and showy unpllances." Tho opinion ns to what should not ho done is proper, but Superintendent Schueffer should be nioie specific ns to thu manner In which the fund could best be disposed of, if he (leslres his advice to have weight. , - . 1 1 Estimating the cost of maintenance of a deep-water ship canal from tho great lakes to tide water at M.000,000 'a year, which Is the estimate of the commission of experts that has just reported upon tho subject; and allow ing I per cenl. on tho Investment cost of 5.120,000,000,. we llnd that It would talt-t a rovenuu of 513,000,000 n year to niuk'.' such a wutor-wuy nelf-sustrtln- Ing.
