THREATS AGAINST
FORMER KAISER
CAUSE ALARM
AMERONGEN, Netherlands. —
There was excitement and alarm
at the Bentinck castle recentlj
when the mail brought two violently
worded threatening letters to tht
former German Emperor Willian
and, almost simultaneously a tele
gram was received warning him oi
an attempt to be made on his life
The sixteen armed military police
men provided by the Dutch govern
ment at its own expense to guar
the person of the fallen monarc*
were quickly mustered. Those ofi
duty were roused from their sleet
and received orders to patrol thf
grounds of the castle, carrying
loaded carbines. This watch wa:
continued throughout the nigh*
much to the discomfort of th(
Dutch gendarmes, who would bs
delighted to learn that Herr Hohen
zollern had decided to seek shekel
in another land.
Despite all the precautions taker
to guard him, it is evident tha'
there is frequent if not constan'
apprehension that some persor
might yet obtain entrance to tip
grounds of the c-astle by stealti
or subterfuge and attack the for
mer emperor.
To ward off such a possibility
the steward of the estate has beer
given the daily task of makinf
a thorough search of the ground;
before the erstwhile ruler sets hv
foot therein on his daily journej
to the woodshed.
The sanctuary of William II ha:
become a prison without beim
called by that name and within it;
walls he spends much of his tim<
in an effort to avoid comparisor
of his present position with his
former greatness.
ROGERS COMING NORTH
FOR THE WHITE PASS
According to information received
from Skagway on the last mail, J
H. Rogers, oldtime employee of the
White Pass & Yukon Route, has re
turned to the service of the com
pany and will be stationed at Skag
way, as agent at that end of the
route.
| Rogers worked for the White
Pass at Dawson many years age
and later resided at Fairbanks
where he owned the big railroad
warehouse on Garden Island. Dur
ing the past several years he ha:
been engaged in the transportatior
business at Prince Rupert and othei
| coast points.
EMBARGO IS PLACED ON

i _
COBLENZ. — The price of iror

the German authorities placed ar

here. Nevertheless they are bein;
-sold. The dealers say the Germar
government has prohibited furthei
; manufacture of the iron crosse;
and that private concerns are mak
ing and selling imitations of them.

—
A telegram was received recently
from Juneau containing the infor
mation that Woodbury Abbey, cad
. astral engineer of the general land
j office, was on his way to N'enana
from the territorial capital, where
he has been during the past winter
as acting supervisor of surveys.
Mr. Abbey has been in charge of
i the land surveys in this district for
the past few years, and during last
[Summer extended the land surveys
; along both banks of the Tanana
river, to connect with the surveys
; previously made, near Chena.
It is thought that he is now
coming in to run the surveys in
connection with the projected road
dnto the Mount McKinley National
I park region, and possibly into the
Kantishna country also.
Mr. Abbey is reported to have
j left Juneau on May 20th for Ne
inana direct, and it is expected that

LABOR MEMBER
! OF PARLIAMENT
LONDON'. — Every parliament
produces a new character. The
American Congress had its “Sock
less” Jerry Simpson from Kansas,
and the House of Commons had
Kier Hardie, who appeared on the
floor in a workingman’s cap and
with a workingman’s freedom of
speech in the era when the sik hat
and frock coat were still almost
a uniform for that assembly, and
when the heavy Gladstonian man
ner was its model for debate. John
Jones, the new labor member from
Silverton, is the Jerry Simpson and
the Kier Hardie of the new House
of Commons.
The proof of this is that his
speeches are puntuated with shocked
cries of “Order ” from the old
timers. and the reason for the cries
is that he talks to the House of
Commons just as he used to talk
when he was addressing out-of-door
audiences from a soap box at Tower
Hill, which is the forum for in
formal workmen’s debates.
“Don’t you try to assume so
much, Guv’nor.” was his first re
mark to the speaker. Speaker
Lowthar, sitting under a canopy
arrayed in his wig and gown, is
a personage certainly no less por
tentous than the chief justice of
the United States supreme court,
and the House had a shock equal
to what the supreme court would
have suffered under similar lese
majeste.
John Jones got even with the
House recently.
“I want you gentlement to know,’
he remarked, while discussing con
scription. (“Honorable members”
is the hallowed term for referring
to members of the House). There
were loud calls of “Order.” Mr
Jones replied:
“I beg your pardon if I have
made a mistake by calling you
gentlemen.”
The House saw the joke and
cheered him.
