On September 14th-Discovery Day "a celebration was held at Fairbanks. The merchants of that city chartered all trains and invited the people of the Tauana valley to come and enjoy the day as guests of the city, and free of cost. The Fairbanks Daily News is- sued a splendid 2O.page edition in honor of the event.
 The prices of staples in the Dawson markets just now range about as fol- lows: Flour 96.5O ham 26 cents, bacon ? cents, butter dry pack 371a cents, butter pickled 42 cents, sugar 81@ cents, cream S7.5O to SS50, cheechaco potatoes weak at s cents, native potatoes , to 6 cents, canned goods same as in the summer, with exception of strawberries which are scarce and up to S7 a case, beans 81@ to cents, rice s cents, oat- meal 6 to 81@ cents, hay and oats steady at cents a pound.
 From the very beginning of the Alas ka Home Railway it's officials have pro- ceeded at every step within their rights and within the law. With regard to a right of way through Keystone Can. you, the laws of the United States and the laws of Alaska read as follows: "Passage of Railroad through Canyons That any railroad company whose right of way, or whose track or road bed upon such right of way, passes through any canyon, pass or defle, shall not prevent any other railroad company from the use and occupancy of said canyon, pass or defile for the purpose of its road in common with the road first located. ."-ProSpector
 The ashes which the steamer Olym- pia carried to Nome from 9 peninsula volcano were not from Perry island or any other of the Bogoslov group, as reported in the cable news, Lut from a nameless peak on Unmak island, west of Unalaska. Mount Makushin, on Un- alaska island, is also having one Of it's periods of smoking up, and the man who sent out tbe story from Nome that there was shower of ashes from Perry island must have been smoking up also. This informa tion is brought by Captain Pond and other officers Of the Buffalo, and Dis trict Attorney l.. V. Ray, who came home on the cruiser from UnaIaska, where he went to wind up the Japanese poacbing cases. All were somewhat when they read in the Gate way cable dispatches hat the Olympia had weathered storm of volcanic ashes while passing the peninsula and men on board the steamer bad banned
 fine gold from ashes which fell on her deck. A few stray ashes fell upon the Buffalo, but nobody aboard was thoughtful enough to sift gold dust out of the debris, and it was carelessly swept overheard. The peak in recent eruption is 100 miles west of Unalaska and plainly visible as far as Unimak pass. It is pouring out large volume of smoke and ashes. Mount Makushin seems to be on sympathetic strike, but is not doing much. The first erup- tion made shower of ashes which GOV cred Unalaska and Dutch Harbor two inches deep. The native inhabitants were terror-stricken and ran wildly about in the belief that the world was about to see it's flnish.-Ssward Gate way.

 A man down at Wrangell, whom the Sentinel calls a poet, fell off the dock and lit head first on the rocks below. If he had gone down the other way, he might have broken leg. As it was, he escaped injury.

man, financial secretary of the txeaz.s

Edward Grey, said the government pn-.
derstood that the shah had acceded to
the demands Of the Persian national
assembly for a formal recognition Of
the monarch as being limited, and had
granted the demands for ministerial
responsibility to the assembly. The
British government, Mr.. Runc1man
added, desired to abstain from any in-s
reference in the internal affairs o.
Persia. No danger to foreigners was
expected, but should any special meas-.
sure be necessary, they would be cons.
fined to safeguarding British subjects.
The best way Of averting any 1nter-
ference with foreigners was to let the
Persians clearly understand that there
was no intention on the part of foreign
nations to Interfere in their domestic
affairs.

rived at yesterday between Education
Minister BRAND and Premier Clemen-
ceau relative to the form of leases Of
churches to the parish priests. There
was a great crush in the chamber of
deputies today in anticipation Of SEN
sational session. BRAND, in an elo-
quent speech, maintained the govern
ment had not and would not abandon
its conciliatory policy and that separ-
alton of church and state should not
be made cloak for religious perse-
cution. IN spite of the intrigues of
its enemies, the government proposed
to fight out the issue on that line and
to the end. Premier Clemenceau, who
was sitting below his colleague, occa-
sionally applauded and interrupted him
with words of encouragement. The
chamber, by vote OF 3S9 to SO, sus-
tained the governments policy.

NO MORE PLURAL MARRIAGES
Senate Will Vote Tomorrow on the
Resolution to Unseat smoot-PoIl Of
Member. Indicate. smoot Will Re-
tain seat-only Seven Republicans
Will Vote to Gust Utah Man.

| Washington. Feb. 19.-Speaking In
his own defense before the senate to-
day, Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, con-
demned polygamy in the strongest
terms, declared polygamy does not now
exist in Utah, and insisted that ne
never had taken an oath as an apostle
| in the church which would in any way
prevent him discharging his duties as
senator or citizen with the utmost fidel-
iity He himself had never had but one
wife, and would not think of giving Of
| ficial or personal sanction to any 9TH
er arrangement in case OF other mem
bers of the Mormon church. Not only
are there no more plural marriages, in
sisted Smoot. but Mormons in charge OF
the Utah courts always have vigorously
prosecuted any members Of their
church guilty thereof
Smoot spoke for about half an
hour, and his address proved to be a
straightforward statement. There was
only fair attendance. Smoot was
warmly congratulated by many of the
senator's when he took his seat. Dill
ingham followed, in an argument In
support of Smoot.
A careful poll Of the senate disclosed
that not to exceed seven-probably
only six-republican senators will vote
for the resolution to unseat Senator
Reed Smoot OF Utah, the Mormon
apostle At least seven democrats will
vote for the Utah senator, and one 9TH
er-Clarke of Arkansas-has expressed
an intention to refrain from voting.
There are several doubtful democrat
ic senators, but the poll lade accounts
for every republican senator except
La Toilette, who may vote against
Smoot.
If he should so decide there would
be seven of Shoots republican col
leagues voting to unseat him. In ad-
Ntion to La Toilette, these senators are
Nrrows of Michigan, Hale Of Maine,
+. nenway of Indiana, Dupont Of Dela-
ware. and Hansbrough of North Da-
kota.
The democrats who will vote to allow
Mr.. Smoot to retain his seat are: Tel
Ter, by pairing, and Patterson of Colo
RADIO; Daniel and Martin of Virginia,
the latter being absent, but paired;
Carmack of Tennessee, Clark OF Mon
tana and McEnery of Louisiana.
The leading republicans estimate not
less than a twenty-four majority in
favor of the Utah senator. Senator De-
pew, who had been classed as anti
Smoot, has surprised and angered those
who are oposing the Mormon apostle
by declaring for the latter. Speeches
on the Smoot case will be made today
and Wednesday and a vote will be TAX
en- on Wednesday.
