JUNEAU, Feb. 15.—The election
canvassing board completed the
work on Saturday of canvassing the
votes cast at the November election.
The board is composed of Governor
Strong, Secretary of the Territory
Davidson and Collector of Customs
Pugh. The result shows that nearly
11,000 votes were cast, which is in
excess of any previous election and
is due to the fact that for the first
time the women of the territory cast
their votes in November 1914. The
,« big fight was over the election of a
Delegate to Congress. For the
fourth time James Wickersham was
elected, receiving for the first time
a large, majority of all votes cast.
His plurality over Mr. Bunnell was
2,867 and majority over Bunnell
and Brooks 1,658. The announced
result of the election for Senator
and Representatives was not
changed, with the possible excep
tion of one Representative in the
Fourth division, where it was not
definitely known whether Mr. Snow
or Mr. Maltbv had been elected. The
official vote for Delegate to Congress
is announced by the board as
follows:
Division Wick. Run. Brooks Total
First ..1,921 1,165 235 3.321

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—The
Democratic leaders of the House
have, sought to bring about a termi
nation of the deadlock in the Sen
ate on the government ship purchase
bill. But their efforts have not met
with success. They evolved a com
promise on the bill that they be
lieved would be acceptable to some
of the insurgent Democrats. A
draft of the bill was presented to
i President Wilson this morning, but
, he rejected it. The particular
clause which he objected to was an
amendment terminating the activi
ties of the government in the ship
j Ping business two years after the,
j close of the European war. He posi
tively refused to agree to this clause.
i It now seems almost certain that the
1 shipping bill in its present form
| cannot be passed by the Senate
