GETS CLOSE
Bowliug Leaders Lose and
Drop to R^ar
The contest at Elks' Club for the Kern j
trophy, representing the three-men
team club championship, is becoming
very close. The challengers, Flaharty,
Siinenstad and Barnes, who had won
four of the six games previously played
lost three straight games last Light, I
and as a result take second place in the
match. The cup defenders Barraear,
Murphy and King, now have 5 games
to 4 for the challengers.
The features of the bowling last j
night, probably, were the high scores
made by Barragar, who averaged 194,
and the hard luck which attended
Flaharty, Barnes and Murphy who had '
more than their proper allotment of
breaks.
The record of the games bowled last
night is as follows:

adulterated Happiucss
Tbe poor men of the land V ill now be
happy, for happiness is his and the rich
have no claim upon it. The matter was
sf-ttled for good and all at the Skagway
Public School Debating Society yes
terday afternoon. The decision was
close, however, the judges who decided
the debate on the question
being two for the poor man aud one for
the rich, an unusual distribution, prob
ably, but it must be understood that the
decision whs made by minds that are
close to elemental principles and not
grounded in worldly prejudice. The
question was elated this' way:
"Kesolved, that a poor man has a
hnppler life than a rich man."
Ihe deb&'ers for the aflirmative were
Miss Ethel Weste, assisted by Miss
Ethel Black and Miss Sophia Hull; for
the negative, Miss Mina Sowcrb; , as
sisted by Miss Lulu DeWitt and Ches
ter Pullen. The judges were Miss
Emma Boone, Miss Alma MeBi icn and
Edwin Doreo.
Ia addition to Lhe debate D. N.
Hukill contributed a highly appr. dat
ed ri citation to the afternoon program.
Miss Fay Stinebaugh was the critic.
The deb te next week will btf on the
question ns to tbe relative greatness of
the UDitcd States and Great Britain as
powers among nations Miss Emma
Buue, assisted by Miss Alma McBrlen
and John Orchard, will uphold the glo
ry of Uncle Sam, while Mis.s Fay
Siineb ugh, assisted by Miss Id a Dil
lon and Chester Fullen, will speak for

NO HELP FOR IRELAND
New govenment will not grant Erin's
appeal for home rule-Parliament will
devote itself to maintenance af British
trade
[Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan.]
London, Dec. 9 ? There will be no home rule bill introduced by the next liberal
government. That is the announcement made today. The parliamentary question that
will occupy the attention of the government will be the question of maintenance of trade.
This decision is likely to alienate the Irish nationalists who held a convention early
this week at Dublin and passed a resolution asserting that the only government which
will ever prove satisfactory to Ireland will be one freely elected by the Irish people. The
convention also passed a resolution to withhold its support from any government which
objects to home rule, free and absolute, for Ireland.
