The report said that the judiciary
committee Of the house had carefully
considered the libel act and recon-
mended that 1t pass. "the veto Of the
governor to the contrary notwith-

Mr.. Stevenson, out Of courtesy to
the governors friends, moved that

until Wednesday after third reading

The house, after the storniest ses-
sion Of the present term, adjourned to

The report Of the subcommittee Of

veto message be expunged from the

1.-THE judiciory subcommittee to
which tie veto message on the libel
bill was referred respectfully report:
THAT the objections raised by his
excellency are two-fold and are stated
in the following language and under

of the first is objectional to wit:

were to write an article, or to write

Ihat the balance of such message
is mere disquisition on the inioui-
ties OF the press as viewed by the

such that self-respect forbids that a

EXTENSION FOR

NORTHERN RAILWAY MAY GET
 THREE YEARS MORE TIME.
Special Nugget Ssrvloe.

Special Nugget Service.
 WASHINGTON, Dec l1.-Congress- man Humphrey of Washington has in- troduced bill providing for an exten- sion of the time for the completion of the Alaska Northern railroad. The further time required, according to the bill. is three years. Work on the road has been practically at a stand still for considerable period owing probably to lack of funds and some difficulties which arose as a conse- quence amongst the promoters and packers of the scheme.
 An effort has been made, and Is still under way. to prevail upon the gov ernment to purchase the road and use it for experimenting in government ownership. Much of the stock is own ed by capitalists in Seattle and the coast and these have prevailed upon Humphreys to look for the further extension. The congressman expects to have the support of Congressman Sulzer and other democrats in the at tempt to get his bill through.
