HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.
If Liberals Win in England, Irish
Dream Is Realized.

Liverpool, Eng. = Premier Asquith
has pronounced home rule for Ireland
the leading issue in the present cam
paign. This momentous pronounce
ment was made in small schooIhouse
of remote village in Scotland but al
ready it has stirred the whole British
Islands and eclipsed all other issues in
the fight.
The pronouncement was made in
answer to checker" as the typical
disturber of British political meetings
is called.
els it the truth, asked this heckler,
that, if the Liberal government is re-
turned to power in this election, it will
give Ireland a measure of home rule?"
i "My reply" said Asquith, "is, it
is.'"
Though Redmond was we'll aware
that it was Asquith's intentionl to give
Irish home rule an immediate chance,
the carpers and factionists in Ireland
have been insisting that Asquith was a
trickster and that Redmond was his
dupe. But even the Dublin Independ-
ent, chief supporter of the Healy fac
tion, confesses that Asquith's confess
sion leaves no more to be said, and is
entirely satisfactory.

Friday, December 9.

Washington, Dec. 9. - The house
committee on agriculture was request
ed today to modify the law giving
Western states rs per cent of the re-
ceipts from forest reserves within their
boundaries by comforting upon the Sec
retary of agriculture authority to go
into the various states and ascertain
whether this money, when so paid to
the states by the general government,
is being expended as provided by law
for schools and roads, or is being used
otherwise, and in case he is of the
opinion that the money is not being
used for these specific purposes, to
take it from the states and turn it over
to the forest service for their own use.
Representative Hawley and other
Western members of the committee
are decidedly opposed to this proposal,
regarding it as a move to deprive the
states of that share of the forestry
fund to which they are legally entitled.
They fear that such provision, if in
serted in the bill, would result in di-
verting this entire fund into the Golfers
of the forest service.
Charges of irregularity in regard to
the allotment of certain Indian lands
in Oklahoma were made in the house
of representatives today by Chairman
Burke, of the Indian affairs commit
tee. He said that misrepresentation
had led to the passage of an act for
the allotment of 100 acres to James S.
Rowell, a white man from Connecticut,
who had married an Indian woman and
received an allotment near Lawton,
Okla, which United States inspector
declared to be worth $75, 200 to $780,
900. 1t was decided to let the ques-
tion of Rowell's citizenship go to the
courts.
The Indian appropriation bill, as
finally passed, carried appropriations
of So, ,277, ,9s5, or $97,OO more than
recommended.

also.
The senate was not in session today.
Governor Harmon of Ohio, Henry
Watterson of Kentucky, and former
Representative Hay of Illinois, went
before the house committee on indus
trial arts and expositions and explain
ed the memorial project planned for
Put in-Bay and Lake Erie, the scene of
Commodore Peary's naval victories.
They asked that the government con-
tribute $3.50, 600. The committee will
act upon this subject during this ses-
sion of congress and it is believed will
report bill carrying the necessary ap-
preparation.
Although refusing to comment on
the proposed constitution of Arizona
until printed copies of the document
have been received, it can be authori-
tatively stated that there is general
impression among congressman that
congress will reject the constitution
unless the provision for the recall of
judges is removed.

Tuesday, December 6.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Congress con-
vened at noon today and shortly after
ward the annual message of President
Taft was sent in and its reading begun
in both houses. The members, who
had been provided with printed copies
. Of the document in advance, paid close
attention as the reading clerks drened
out the message.
The various recommendations of the
president for the enactment Of laws he
deemed desirable were received with
out any demonstration, but it was evil
dent from the attention that was paid
to the reading that they were being
carefully followed by the lawmakers.
Greatest interest was displayed in
the presidents recommendations re-
garding the tariff. The presidents s
statement that the tariff board would
not be ready to report during the pres
ent session, but that it would report
probably before the opening of the
next regular session caused buzz of
comment.
The reference to criticisms of the
tariff bill, some of which he called
justifabIe, some unfounded and some
Misrepresentation, was received with
careful attention. The recommenda-
tion for revision of the tariff, sched-
ule by schedule, and that it be treated
more as business question, the rates
based on the actual difference in for
eign and home cost of production, was
also closely followed.

ENGINEERS VOTE TO STRIKE.
If Demands Are Refused. Clash May
Be Greatest in History.

Be Greatest in History.
Chicago-Warren s. Stone, grand
chief Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, and four of his assist
ants spent Saturday canvassing the re-
cent strike vote taken by the men on
the Western railroads.
Mr.. Stone estimated that SO per cent
of the enginemen favored a strike.
The next move, according to Mr..
Stone, is with the railroads.
The railroads affected in the present
controversy are those extending west
from Chicago, and if the engineers
strike the Eastern roads will not be
drawn into the controversy. There is
always chance, however, of a sym
pathetic strike, and in that event the
Eastern engineers would join the strik-
ers. Switching service in the Chicago
yards. would be brought to standetill.
Sixty-one railroads will be affected
if the engineers vote to strike and
their terms are not accepted by the
managers. The number Of enginemen
employed on these roads is 33, 700. The
lines represent 1876, 900 miles of road,
or SO per cent of the total mileage of
the country.
This vote is the first that has ever
been ordered by the Brotherhood of
Engineers on a general scale and it is
the first Of any kind to be taken since
the strike on the Burlington in 1888.
"Our brotherhood is known through
out the country for its conservatism, F"
said Grand Chief Stone, "and when
we take a strike vote it means some
thing. The managers tried to take ad-
vantagel of us because we have not
been inclined to strike in the past.
We have done our best to maintain
harmony, and have even made conces-
sions that our men would not be will
ling to- accept. If it comes to
strike, which now seems likely, we
will tie up every road west of Chi
cage"
After months of negotiations the
demands of the engineers now are
some per cent higher than the rail
road managers are willing to grant.
If the demands are not acceded to a
strike that will close the throttle of
every railroad locomotive west, south
and north of Chicago may be called
within five hours, it was intimated.

81 MILLIONS COUNTED.
Census Bureau Announces Grand To-
tai for United States.

tai TOT Onlteu OtateS.
Washington - Total population of
the United States, exclusive of posses
siohs, approximately 81, l,549, 500. To
tails for these states were announced:
Wyoming, 14,5965, an increase of
So, 434 since 1900.
Alaska, 64,356, an increase of 764.
Hawaii, 191, ,9O9, an increase of
81, $50.
The states so far given have an ag-
gregate population Of IS, 1862, 725. This
is an increase of 2O.4 per cent over
the aggregate population contained by
the same states in 1900.
The five states ton reported had an
aggregate population of 5,139, 1886 in
1900. If they maintain the growth of
other states their aggregate will be
brought up to 6,186,774, giving a
grand total in the United States of
81, $40, 5O3. Even if there should be
no gain at all the total would be 90,-
5O2, ,O61.
Washington is expected to show an
increase of almost 100 per cent, and
Georgia is counted on to sustain the
average, but, while Wisconsin prob
ably will score a gain, it is not be-
lieved it will reach 20 per cent.
There is no doubt the total will be
over 81, 900, 900. The computation is
confined to the United States proper.
The population of Georgia, Wiscon-
sin, Washington and Montana, the only
states for which figures have not yet
been announced, will be made public
soon, together with the exact total
population of the United Staes.
Population of the Islands of Hawaii
is as follows:
Hawaii, 55,382; Kauai, and Niyhua,
%, 952; Lanai, Maui, Kahoolawe and
MoIokai, 29,762; Oahu, including Hon
olulu district, 82,O28; Kalawao, 785.
Population of cities: Superior,
Wis, 40, 308, an increase of 9,293;
Augusta, Ca, 1,040, in increase of
1889.

STEAMER ON ROCKS
Alaska Liner Goes Ashore DuPiDq
55-NIIe Gale.
Wireless Calls for Help, Then All
Is Silent StoTm is Raging
Along Coast.

Cordova Alaska, Dec. 13. - The
Alaska Steamship company's steamer
Olympia, with LOG persons aboard, is
ashore on Bligh island, Prince William
sound. A furious storm is raging.
No word has been received from the
wireless operator on the Olympia since
this morning, and grave fears are en-
tertained for the safety of those on the
wrecked vessel.
There are 81 passengers aboard the
Olympia. Most of them boarded the
vessel here last night. Among those
who sailed from here for Valdez and
Seward are United States District
Judge Cushman, Mrs. Cushman and
members of the Third District court,
who are on their way to Valdez, where
court convenes tomorrow. The crew
of the Olympia consists of 54 officers
and men, Captain j. Daniels being in
command.
The Olympia sailed from Cordova at
6 o'clock last night, having arrived
from Seattle earlier in the day. AL
though the night was clear and full
moon shed bright light, navigation
was made dangerous by 50-mile gale
which was blowing from the north.
Between IL and o'clock this morning
the operator on duty at the navy wire
less station picked up the distress sig
nal of the Olympia. He answered at
once. Operator Hayes, on the Olym-
pia, then sent an urgent appeal for
help, saying that the Olympia had
struck on Bligh island and was in an
exposed position. Heavy seas were
breaking over her, making the position
of those on board all the more perilous.
The message from the Olympia was
received with difficulty. The men in
charge of the naval wireless station
express the opinion that the grounding
of the vessel had in some way caused a
short circuit which interferee with the
sending of the wireless messages from
the steamer.
For several hours this morning the
naval operator was unable to get any
response to his calls to the Olympia
and it was feared that the vessel had
gone down with all on board. The
operator continued his efforts and at
10 O'Clock was rewarded by again re.
ceiving a faint call from Operator
Hayes on the helpless vessel. Hays
said that the storm was continuing
with unabated fury. The Olympia was
being tossed about by the pounding
waves, grinding her sides against the
rocks that held her prisoner. This
constant pounding of the steamer
made it almost impossible to operate
the wireless.
The operator said the passengers and
crew are still hopeful that help will
come before the ship goes to pieces.
Huge waves continue to break over her
and the situation of the passengers, is
extremely serious.

Wednesdax. pecember Z.

Washington-The Ballinger-Pinchot
Investigating committee, after II
months work, made its final report tc
congress today.
In the opinion of seven Republican
members, a majority of the committee,
Secretary Ballinger honestly and
faithfully performed the duties of his
high Office with an eye single to the
public interest.
In the opinion of the four Demo
Gratis, Mr.. Ballinger "has not beer
true to the trust reposed in him as Sec
retary of the interior and should be
requested by the proper authorities to
resign"
The Democratic members, led by
Senator Fletcher, of Florida, agreed to
this mehod of getting the reports be-
fore congress. Senator Fletcher first
raised the point of order that the COM
mittee had already approved the report
that was made public at Minneapolis.
This point was overruled by Chairman
Nelson.
A motion then was made to substi-
tute the Democratic report for the re-
port agreed upon by the seven Repub-
licans. This was voted down, to 5.
1t was agreed after the majority report
had been adopted that all three should
be presented at once in each house and
printed together. Under this arrange
ment the dissenting reports have equal
standing with the majority report be-
fore the two houses. An order for 80, :
600 copies of the report was made by
the senate.

China Plans New Coinage.

Peking, China-If the latest imper-

China will have a vastly improved
coinage system, with coins comparing
with the American dollar, half dollar,
quarter, dime, nickel and cent, and ad-
ditional coins worth, approximately,
two cents, five mills and one mill. The
standard will be silver, and the unit of
the national currency will be the

P. Shonts, of New York, wife of the
president of the Tnterborough Rapid
Transit company, was retained by Gus
toms officials when she returned from
Europe on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse. Mrs. Shonts did not declare
the jewelry, explaining that she had
obtained it in Paris in exchange for
old jewelry on which duties had been
paid when they were originally import
ed. For that reason, she said, she
thought the gems were not dutiable.

.DOINGS OF OUR NATIONAL LAWMAKERS.
2resented 70 congress TODAY.

presented to congress today.
The expenses of the government in
the fiscal year 1912, for which this ses-
sion of congress is asked to appro-
pirate, are estimated at $500, 494, C13.-
IL. The estimated expenditures of
the Panama canal are given as $685.
920, 847.69, making a total of $687,
Ala, ,860.8f. The estimates, if carried
out, represent net savings of about
$13, 900, 900 in the executive depart
pents, as compared with the appro-
priations for the current fiscal year.
Receipts for 1912, Secretary Mac
Veagh estimates, will be $3.50, 900, 600,
which would leave an ordinary surplus
of around $50, 600, 900. If the treas
ury should continue to pay for the Pan
anna canal out of the cash drawer, as
at present, such surplus would be
turned to deficit of 81, Ala, 860.81.
Secretary MacVeagh expresses the
hope that the monetary question will
come into congress detached from sec
tional or political considerations.
"Our system can fairly be called a
panic breeding system" he says,
whereas every other great national
banking and currency system is pam
ic-preventing. AS long as we continue
under our present system, we are
liable to panics, and the vast depreda-
tions of panics reach Republicans and
Democrats and all parts of the conutry
alike. Panics are no longer necessary
and no longer respectable. 1t is for
the government to say whether we
shall have panics in the future or not.
1t is mere matter of choice"

Washington - Secretary Ballinger,
in his annual report strongly urges the
enactment by congress of Legislation
which will permit proper use and de-
velopment of the natural resources of
the West and permit that section of
the country once more to progress.
His report is a strong plea for praeti-

Oil Men Criticise Idea.

Los Angeles-Secretary Ballinger's
recommendation that the state regulate
the price of crude oil is being criti-
cised and declared impossible by some
of the oil men. "We might just as
we'll have a committee to regulate the
price of wheat, beans and other com
modities," said s. c. Graham. ''lf we
can procure a proper disposition of the
oil lands and of the petroleum produced
from these lands, we can safely permit
competition to determine the price"
