ADMIRALTY IS SLOW
MAKING ITS REPORT
LONDON, Oct. 27.—There was con
siderable anxiety in this city today
when without any official statement
the papers announced that a sharp
clash had taken place in the English
Channel and the statement
made that a British de
stroyer was lost. The gravity
of the reports is heightened by the
delay in the Admiralty’s announce
ment.

ian King asked for the Allies pro

that the Germans did not begin the
great war.
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 27.—A re
putable morning paper revives
peace talk by hinting that peace will
come soon. This paper refers to
the significant fact that the German
papers have suddenly ceased making
their bitterest attacks upon Great
Britain and although von Hinden
berg’s declaration that Great Britain
was Germany’s greatest, most per?
tinacious, wealthiest, but most
treacherous foe, is still given promi
nence,, the papers are referring to
their kinsmen who are trying un
naturally to destroy the Teuton na
tion. These utterances accompanied
by like utterances in the British or
gans, indicate that a rapproache
ment is not impossible to be con
templated in the near future.
This paper discounts the irrecon
cilable statements of parliament
ary leaders. These will be made to
the last, it intimates.
SCHEELITE AND ANTIMONY
MARKETNOT $0 STRONG
SEATTLE, Oct. 26.—Market
prices for both scheelite and anti
mony ores are showing a falling ten
dency.
Scheelito is now quoted at from
fifteen to seventeen dollars a unit.
Sixty per cent concentrates of anti
mony are quoted at $1.10 an ore
unit. Metallic antimony is still
slumping due to over production
and is now quoted at eleven and
half cents a pound with ample off
erings of the metal at that price for
all purposes. The supply of Chinese
and Japanase (made from Chinese
ores) antimony is increasing rather
than decreasing, while home pro
duction is greatly • increased and
cheapened.

DUPONT WORKS, HASKELL
_ 7 I
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—Another
explosion occurred in the Dupont De
Nemours Powder Co’s plant at
Haskell, N. J. today. One building
was blown to atoms when a darboy
of trinitritoluel exploded. Fifteen
employees who were working in a
warehouse nearby were killed In
stantly.
Fortunately the explosion was
confined to this building and no
fire followed the detonation. The
building wherein the explosion oc
curred was shattered to little bits

directions surrounding the factory.

M’Namara has not asked for a par

FRENCH MAKE GAINS
VICINITY FT. VAUX
PARIS, Oct. 27.—The French of
fensive in the Verdun sector con
tinues to throw the lines ahead, not
withstanding German opposition ol
a strenuous character west and
south of Vaux.
The German artillery is lively upon
Chenois and Douamont, apparently a
heavy counter being prepared for by
the artillerists.
HERLIN, Oct. 27.—As already
held in expert circles, the French
offensive in the Verdun section is
proof of the failure of the Somme
drive, and that the Entente finds the
push too costly to be continued. The
»
Verdun activities are taken as an
admission that this is the case.
LONDON, Oct. 27.—Private
Thomas Jones among fifteen who
were awarded the Victoria cross to
day entered the German trenches
single handed and taking the enemy I
by surprise disarmed and captured
one hundred and two Germans.
LONDON, Oct. 27.—As if in con
tradiction of the German report that
the Somme operations had been
abandoned, th? British and French
began a preparatory bombardment
of the whole front this evening,
and the night is being kept awake
by a most intensive bombardment.
While there is no reason to think
any important attack will be order
ed in the present fearfully inclement
weather, this artillery fire is believ
ed to be the prelude to an attack.

CHIHUAHUA IS CUT OFF
FROM SOUTH CONNECTIONS
EL PASO, Oct. 27.—The most
alarming news that has come out
of Mexico is the fact that all com
munication with Chihuahua by rail
and wire from the south is cut c>ft
by a Villa coup and that the Car
ranza reinforcements are being de
la ed.
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 27.—There is
no such thing as southern communi
cation being cut off, it is stated by
General Obregon today.
Obregon is very bitter at the ef
forts made persistently and tireless
ly by American capitalists to pro
mote the notion that the Carranza
government is tottering and that the
Villatists are in control, solely with
the purpose of making Americans
demand intervention for the protec
tion of the lives of their citizens
and property. Obregon says that
troops are reaching Trevino steadily
as are also supplies. He further
makes public a report showing that
Trevino has completely defeated the
Villatists. Obregon says none of
I these people know if Villa is alive
1 or dead.
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 27.—Any
question of the popularity of the
Carranzist government has been set
at rest in this city when all night
demonstration took place in favor
of his candidacy. Thousands cheer
ed Carranza again and again. Ha
was expected to make public an
nouncement of his candidacy today
I for the office of president.

Just because little knots of politi
cians are talking about the weather
it is not reasonable to believe that
they are telling one another what
will happen when they got to
Juneau.
Candidates believe that they will
be able to vote here and leave
nevertheless on one of the passenger
steamers sailing from Nome this
Pall. Both steamers are scheduled
to leave on November 5.
Many Candleites and Inmachuck
miners are expected todayx They
were coming overland to the Kouga
rok railroad by teams when they
were to take dogomobiles from
thence to Nome.

A number of very effective dry

and ought to be taken down.
Wouldn't that rasp you?

torious that the United States secret
service men are trying to locate
General « Ochoa, a former Villatist
who recently crossed the Kio Grande
with papers for General Villa, from
conspirators in connection with the
United States Mexican policy.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 27.—
Whether or not Baker is afraid that
the declaration he made to the effect
that men interested in opposing tho
administrations foreign policy wero
plotting with Villa, may act as a
boomerang upon his party, at any
rate he tried to prevent any poli
tical construction being placed
upon the statement which he made,,
This afternoon Baker says that
there is no political purpose under
neath the surface of his charges nor
should any political construction bo
placed upon it.
The Mexican opponents of Car
ranza would be glad if they could
cause some complications to either
the American or the Mexican gov
ernments.

is promised later by the Secretary
of War.
REPORT LINER AFIRE
MAKINR FOR AZORES
NEW YORK, Oct. 72.—A relayed
cable and wireless today reports
that the liner Chicago is burning at
sea with many passengers on board
and is now speeding towards Fayal,
Azores.
The Chicago left Bourdeaux on
Sunday last homeward bound to this
port and on board are stated to bo
many well known Americans. There
is very great anxiety here owing to
the uncertainty of the Chicago’s lo
cation at sea and uncertainty there
fore of the liner’s ability to reach
port before the fire compels abon
donment at sea.
