BIG APPROPRIATIONS WERE
MADE BY THE LEGLISLATURE
JUNEAU, May 4.— (Delayed).
One million four hundred and ten
thousand dollars were appropriated
by the legislature for all expenses
during the next two years.
Not all those appropriations
whoh were originated, passed, and
that the amount is not greater than
it is, is due to this fact solely.
The eight hour bill as yet un
signed, applied to all work, will not
go into effect before November 1.
The Senate killed the increase in
pay for the Attorney General. The
Wickersliamites think that Grigsby
is getting more than his share right
now.
The Senate Rill appropriating one
quarter of a million to buy war
bonds got the axe in the House. The
claim made that there was no funds
in sight and no revenue available

UNCERTAIN AS TO INTERNAL
CONCISIONS IN EUROPE
NEW YORK, May 6.—Nothing
definite is coming out of the Ger
man or Russian capitals which
would convey a precise idea as to
the situation in those countries.
That the German masses are de
manding peace is positively certain
while the government leaders, arr.y
commanders and naval chiefs are'
publishing daily emphatic promises
that the war will not last anoth ;r
month and that the Entente is now
ready to accept German terms. *
Reports received day after day
show that such statements are pub
lished in almost every paper upon
the authority of every high official
from the Chancellor down in ci-.il
life and from von ll'ndcnterg down
in military life.
The pacification of the country
after the May Day demonstrations
which were bitterly hjstile to the
government was accomplished more
by these persuasive talks than by
gunfire, although both were freely

The goveivior signed the revenue
bill and the bill appropriating one
hundred thousand dollars to be
used at the discretion of the Gover
nor for war purposes.
He also signed the bill establish
ing an agricultural college at Fair
banks for which the sum of $75,000
is appropriated. In signing this
bill the Governor severely criticized
it as premature, the time not being
ripe for such a college in the in
terior.
In the last days of (he legislature
the Senate and the House were in
severe opposition and the House
killed a senate bill where it coula
for every house Hill the Senate in
its turn had killed. In this way
some good and much bad legisla
tion was effectively got rid of.
USed.
The Russian situation is far more
disquieting. That the Duma lead
ers will be able to keep control and
insist upon the country fighting
with the Entente is to say the least
doubtful.
Tho situation looks better accord
ing to Petrograd dispatches today j
and the demand for the resignation
of the Foreign Minister who insists
upon the war being carried out are
less insistent.
The failure to agree to any terms
of German peace are regarded as a
good sign by those who still hope
that Russia will keep up its end ot
the war. The various dispatches
from London and Paris reflect this
anxiety upon the part of those gov
ernments as to the Russian situa
tion.
GETS LIGHT SENTENCE
FOR KILLING A COLONEL
COLEMAN, Texas. May 6.—The
culmination of the society drama
wherein Harry Spannell killed
Colonel Butler ended today in a
light sentence of five years being
inflicted upon the defendant who
was found guilty.
The details have already been re
ported, the woman in the ease prob
ably being the reason for the light
er sentence being passed upon the
convcted man.
The trial lasted a very short time
There was little interest taken in
it after the first few days.
