THE BANK OF SEWARD FOR SERVICE
JEWISH PALESTINE TOGIVE
BRITISH NOBLE RECEPTION
BERLIN, Mar. 7.—According to
Jaffa reports, the Jewish Palestine
population, which is ready to give
Lord Balfour a grand reception when
he arrives at the Zionist capital, has
stirred animosity among the native
Arabs and Christians.
An Arab executive committee
frankly wires Balfour “your declara
tion favoring the Zionists has been
fatal to Palestine and Arabs as well
as Christians.” The Unions have re
solved “that Palestine natives con
sider themselves victims of Balfour’s
policy and refuse him a welcome re
ception. Work will cease when he ar
rives and churches will be crowded
and protests voiced and prayers said
to save the country. We will hold
the government responsible if the
Jews are permitted to demonstrate
for Balfour.”

STEAMSHIP ALASKAN BREAKS
NEW CABLE WITH ANCHOR
The steamship Alaska, which an
j chored off the point last evening on
her arrival at Seward, picked up the
new cable, and before they ceased
playing with it caused it to part, cut
ting Seward and all ports north off
from communication with the States.
Consequently the Gateway’s service is
limited to what came in yesterday ;
after the forms had gone to press, j
The cableship Dellwood is near at
hand and repairs will be made be
tween now and Monday morning.
This break emphasizes the need
for a buoy and sign at the point, as
several times in the past few years
boats have hooked on to the cable.
