No. 246 FIFTEENTH YTEAR
SKAGWAY, ALASKA. FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1913 TRICK 10 CENTS
London, Jan. 17 ? After a third
reading and a long battle the Irish
home rule bill passed the House of
Commons yesterday by a large ma
jority, and has now goue to the
House of Lords for a first reading, i
The fate of the bill with the upper
house of Parliament is a trifle in
definite, but the leaders of the meas
ure claim to have a majority. The
effect of the large majority in the
lower house will serve a strong In
fluence in securing early passage
The committee had previously re
ported favorably on its passage and
there seems to be no impediment in
the way of granting the fullest
measure of home rule to Ireland, a
consummation which she has de
voutly Bought for years
When the news was received in
Belfast of the passage of the bill,
the Orangemen, and members of
the Protestants unions, organized a
big demonstration In opposition to
It. A copy of the bill was publicly
burned In the streets and orators
waxed fervid In denouncing the
Commons tor passing It.
The Irish Catholics are jubilant
over the success of the home rule
bill and telegrams of congratula
tion are pouring in upon tho mem
bers who supported It.

a very large amount of money reach
ing Into the hundreds of thousands.

cate, but others who have been in
touch with the property In ques
tion, state that he Is, and that the
largest sheep raising ranch on the
continent will be started within the
next few months on the property.

mountains, and extends for miles
over an excellent country suited In
every way for the raising of sheep

endeavor to demon?trate that West
ern Canada, especially that part In
the mountains and southern Alberta
Is equally as well adapted for the
raising of sheep as Australia, and
within a few years millions of
herds will roam the mountains and
another great Industry will flourish
in the west and with the raising of
cattle the raising of sheep will be
as much sought after.

NOON IS FLASHED
THK WORLD OVER
Washington, Jan. 16 ? When the
little wooden ball on top of the
State, War, and Navy Buildings
drops with a thud, ships thousands
of miles at sea in all the directions
of the compass, r.et their chrono
meters.
For thlb little ball represents
the official time of this country,
and the official time at sea for
American vessels. It Is operated
from the naval observatory, exactly
at noon and as it falls, the Arling
ton radio station wireless the one
flash "noon," through the air, the
telegraph operator flashes It over
his keys, and tens of thousands of
clocks aro telegraphically regulated
to the dot.

council of the empire recently ad
opted a law abolishing the last ves

count of special conditions there,
and temporary transitional meas
ures were Instituted pending the
adoption of the most suitable meth
od for giving the serfs their free
dom. This transitional stage has
been terminated.

London, Jan 17 ? The situation
surrounding Balkan war matters
is somewhat uncertain owing to rtie
delay occasioned In translating code
dispatches but there is every evi
dence to think that war Is on again
or will be within the next few hours
The Porte at Constantinople has
not yet received the official notice
or formal note of the breaking of
the peace negotiations.
There is a widespread belief that
the Halkan Allies have been tricked
in the negotiations. From the very
beginning it was clear that Turkey
had everything to gain from an
armistice and little to lose. What
is not so clear is whether the arm
ies of the Allies had come to such
a pass that delay for them also was
very desirable, if not absolutely im
perative. Indeed, it Is only on this
supposition, or on one of almost
quixotic chivalry and patience that ,
GREAT CAXAL BllLDER
TELLS HIS STORY j
Washington, Jan. 17 ? Gen. Geo.
Goethals, builder of the Panama
Canal Is in Washington, and appear
ed before the chiefs of the bureau
this morning where he described
the process of building the canal,
and told of its present condition
and the probable future.
i he recent course of events can be J
explained.
The Allii* must have known the j
methods of Turkish diplomacy;
they could not possibly have neg- j
lected to learn the lessons which
vere flung In the face of Italy dur
ing the negotiation of the Treaty I
of Lauranne. There the Turk pre- .
varlcated and blustered, gaining de
'ays for the most trumpery rea
sons and signing at last only, so to
speak, at the point of the bayonet.
It is quite clear that the same
methods have been employed In
London. The Turk has nothing left
in Europe but a small slice of terri
tory and the three fortresses of
Constantinople, Adrianople and Scu
tari. Scutari must go In any case,
and the Powers have agreed that
Constantinople shall remain Turkish
The whole question then hinges on
Adiianople. which the armistice un
doubtedly naved from capitulation.

the aentlment expr??s?ed by the sub

Arctic Chief Landahl he says In
