The Alaska prospector., 1907-09-12

A telegram the contents of whic were of great interest to the citizens of Valdez, was received last night from Mir. H. D. Reynolds, and was to the effect that, the stock of the Alaska Home Railway. was selling faster and with less exertion. tEan that of any company which has come under his notice. This is surely cheering .,news, and is but one of the straws which in aicates that Mir. Reynolds is going to Keep his promise to those who have placed their confidence in him, and that railroad is going to De built by the Alaska Home Railway, and if there Is anyone who believes differently. it would be we'll for them to disa buse their minds of the fact instantly The stock subscription is likely to be a record breaker for that city. so far as time and amount combined is con- cerned. MT. Reynolds also wired that the Santa Barbara Is injured but htte and will sail again in days or two. He also states that he has chartered a schooner which will sail immediately. and will bring 100000 feet of lumber for use of the Home Railway and tEe people of Valdez.

PLANTATION.

Washington, Aug. 3O.--It is said to
be the intention of the Democratic mem
beers of Congress TO introduce resolu-
ton in the Senate or House as soon as
the Goth Congress is organized, asking
the navy department or the President
the reason for sending the battle
ship fleet to the Pacific As it Is not
probable that the fleet will sail from
Hampton Roads before Dec. Is. there
win be ample time for discussion OF
such a resolution.
Republicans declare that If such a
resolution IS passed the President may
decline to give any reason for bis ae-
ton. II is more likely, however, that
the explanation will be offered that the
ships are simply going to test their en-,
DURANGO and the practibility of getting
ships over the Pacific side in the event
that their presence should be demanded .
also that the ships should be kept in mo-
ton anyway, and that II is as well to
send them to the Pacific as anywhere
else.

could not easily be made to smile.

NEW PROPOSAL I'm

Newfoundland Premier's Act Causes the
Delay in the Plans for Arbitra-

London. Aug. 30.--It was expected
that the terms OF the agreement between
Great Britain and the United States to
submit the Newfoundland fisheries dis
pute to arbitration at The Hague would
be made public yesterday, but q tenn
porary delay has been caused by the
unexpected action Of the Newfoundland
premier, Sir Robert Bond, who has made
new proposal regarding the conduct of
the fisheries regulations, differing from
the modus viyendi
The American government, being most
anxious to conciliate Premier Bond, con-
sented to a postponement Of the matter
for few days, in order to afford the
British government an opportunity to
discuss the new proposition with Sir
Robert An ultimate agreement on all
points, however, seems to be assured.
