LATE NEWSOF THE OUTSIDE
NEARLY WENT
ON The ROCKS
The Manning Prevented the Me-
teOr From Being Wrecked
in Akutan Pass.

Seattle, Nov. 15.-The revenue cut
tiers Bear and Manning arrived today
from Dutch Harbor. The Meteor and
Eureka were at the latter place.
The Eureka attempted TO tow the
Meteor from Dutch Harbor, and dis
aster almost overlook both vessels,
while the Manning, which was convoy
ing them. got in close quarters herself,
while saving the Meteor from total
wreck in Akutan pass.
The Meteor, which had two propeller
blades broken, was lightened and two
new blades put on. The vessel was
further equipped with jury rudder.
When this had been done, and with
the Manning as a convoy, the Eureka
undertook to tow the Meteor to Sc
attic. They sailed Nov. 6. In Akutan
pass they encountered swift adverse
tide with strong wind. The Meteor
bucked and jerked until the Eureka S
hawser snapped.
This left the Meteor adrift with the
wind and tide threatening to drive her
onto the rocks. But the Manning
quickly got a line aboard the Meteor
and towed the freighter to within sight
of Dutch Harbor when the cutter S
hawser broke. The Eureka then picked
up the Meteor and towed her in.

DELEGATES
FOR ALASKA
Provisions of Congressman Jones
Bill--Three Delegates
Instead of One.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The bill pro-
viding for temporary government for
Alaska, which will be introduced by
Congressman Jones, of Washington,
will be the longest that he has ever in
PRODUCED in congress.
The bill follows the general form of
bills creating territorial forms of gov
ernment but one particular departure
is that providing for the election Of
three delegates to the United States
congress instead Of one, as provided
for in Mr.. Cushman's bill of last ses-
sion. which was only for the purpose of
providing Alaska with one delegate.
Mr.. Jones thinks that no one delegate
can represent the varied interests of
such vast territory as Alaska, which
contains some 600, 900 square miles. In
speaking about his bill, Mr.. Jones said
that zone man could only attend to the
needs of but one district in Alaska. as
he could not possibly know all the ne
cessities Of the territory, general and
varied as they are, any more than a
man in Washington or Minnesota"
For this reason he thinks the best So
luton of the problem is to have the
territory select three delegates and di-
vide the territory into three districts,
probably a north, central and southern
district, by which means each delegate
will be better qualified to look out for
the interests of his own particular dis
trict. Not only this, but the question
of an election in Alaska will involve
the expenditure of good deal of
money by reason of the great distances,
and it will not be much more expensive
to elect three delegates than it would
be to elect one and the return would be
far more beneficial to the country.
