Weak In Country Districts
(By Alaska News Bureau)
LONDON. Jan. 21 ? The returns to
date in the British general elections
are as follows: Unionists 163; Liber
als 137: Laboritee 29: Nationalists oil.
The I'nionists have Rained 71. the
Liberals 10 and the Laborites 1 since
the last report was sent out. Thir
teen of the I'nionists gaines were in
county seats, one in Scotland and one
in Wales. If the Unionists can gain
22 of the remaining 16S seats, the
Government will be dependent upon
the votes of the Nationalists to legis
late.
The Liberal Government will return
to power with a less convincing man
date from the country for Its policies,
than it counted on. If present tenden
cies prevail among the rest of the
voters during the remaining days of
the election. The Llberallsts' allies, j
th" Laborite? and Nationalists will
virtually hold the balance of power
and the Irish party particularly will
be in position to dictate legislation.
The proposal to reform the House of
Lords counted perhaps more strongly
among the country people than <11(1
the Tariff reform.
Premier Asquith in a speech de
livered at Fifeshire declared one thing
certain was that the great industrial
centers would not give to the new
parliament any candidate who would
In any way interfere with the system
of free trade.
In an official announcement today.
Issued from headquarters, the Liberal
leaders declared that unless they, in
combination with the Laborltes and
without the aid of the Irish National
ists are given a majority of at least
40 members they will not accept the
responsibility of ministerial conduct.
Great excitement was caused by th
announcement, as the present indica
tions are that the Liberals will have
a majority of but 1 1 members.

PEOPLE WANT MEDIATION
ABOUT THE SKA6WAT ROUTE
The advertising which has been giv
en the Skagway-Yukon river rouje to
the Iditarod in the newspapers of Se
attle, Tacoma, Victoria and Vancou
ver is already bearing fruit and by
nearly every mail See. E. L. Miller
of the Commercial club receives let
ters asking for information about the
advantages of the river route and the
facilities of Skagway as an outfitting
point.
On the last boat Mr. Miller got a
letter from E. W. Worsham of Seattle
who said that he expected to take a
party of twenty-five men into the
Iditarod and asked for information
as to the winter trail from Skagway.
Of course the winter route from
Skagway is not practical, but Mr. Mil
ler will write telling Mr. Worsham
that it is more feasible to wait until
spring before going into the Iditarod.
He will show that a grub shortage
exists in the new diggings and it will
be a difficult and expensive undertak
ing to transport supplies and grub
for twenty-five men over the trail,
whether from Valdez or Seward, and
that it will be wiser to wait until
spring and come by the river route.
Unless very discouraging reports
are received from the spring clean
ups in the Iditarod there is certain
to be a big rush there in the spring
and the indications are that the ma
jority of the gold seekers will go in
by way of Skagway.
