taming order without any difficulty. It is felt
there is no longer any danger of serious dis

rebels have assumed control of the affairs of state,
and the populace has returned to it usual occupa
tions.
OVER SUPPLY OF COPPER
MAY CAUSE DROP IN PRICE
LONDON, July 30.—-The trading in copper has
fallen off considerably of late owing to the hesitancy
which the brokers are showing. This hesitancy is
due to the fact that on July 15 figures were published
showing that since the last publication the visible
supply of the metal had risen to 40,000 tons. This is
an increase of 1600 tons since June 30. The price of
the metal has been showing a tendency to decline,
due largely to advices received from America, and
also to the large increase in the visible supplv.
LOSS OF ENGLISH OFFICERS
HEAVY PAST TWO WEENS
LONDON, July 30.—The official casualty list
for British officers alone, for the fortnight ending
July 19, amounted to 649. The percentage of killed
and wounded among the officers of the British army
is higher than that of any other of the belligerents,]
and is the cause of much concern to the British
government, on account of the difficulty of training
competent officers for the new armies that England
is putting in the field. The heaviest casualties of
late have been in the fighting on the Gallipoli penin
sula where the allies have repulsed several desperate
attacks made by the Turkish defenders.
JAPANESE CABINET SUITS
OFFICE SERIOUS CHARGES
Special to The Times By Associated Press.
TOKTO, .Tuvl 30.—The entire Japanese cabinet
resigned today, following nn investigation by tlu*
Ministry of Justice into bribery charges. The
brigery charges were made as affecting the general
elections held last March, which resulted in a victory
for the present government. Minister of the Interior
Ouro resigned yesterday, and the remaining mem
bers felt that it would be lfseless for them to remain
in office without the confidence of the people of the
empire, the investigation tending to show that the
opposition party might have won the elections if
money had not been improperly used. The Mikado
will select a new premier shortly, as it is felt that
the Elder Statesmen will recommend the resigna
tions of the present cabinet be accepted.

While it is true that there were
some lots bought for purely specu

purchasers intend to build business
houses or erect residences. Indeed,
great activity is already displayed on
the new townaite, and some buildings
and residences are already in evi

vlear the lots, in most cases, prepara
tory to building.

able enterprise, was the first business

this week, under the direction of the

VALDEZ DIKE HOLDING
UP AGAINST HIGH WATER
The glacier stream is higher than
at any time in the memory of Valdez
residents. The long dry spell since
July 6th has caused an unprecedented
amount of water to flow over the

water is working towards Valdez. A
large stream has already hit the dike
but has failed to reach above the mat

IRREGULARITIES CONNECTION

A rumor Is current to the effect
that the grand jury of the Knlk court
term has been investigating alleged
irregularities in connection with the
government rallrond construction work
and that one official has resigned. As
there is no positive Information about
the matter it Is the part of wisdom to
say no more until direct nnd reliable
information is secured, that Is if the
rumor has any truth at all to It.—

BIRTHS, DEATHS AND
MARRIAGES OF ALASKA
According to the July number of
the All-Alnaka Review there were 45
births, 26 deaths and 25 marriages in
all Alaska since the Issue of the June
number of the Review. This includes
Dawson and the Yukon, which, con
trary to public belief, Is really pnrt
of Alaska. In former times all the
northwestern part of the continent
was called Alaska, which many people
do not know. Some of the deaths,
births and marriages, but only a few,
took place outside, but the principals
were Alaskans.
