DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
 MAY BE EXCUSED

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Two Dem- ocratic Senators John R. Thornton and Joseph E. Ransdell, of Louisiana, will probably be permitted to attend the Democratic caucus meetings and be excused from regarding their at tendance as binding upon them from voting for the Underwood tariff bill when it shall come up in the Senate for final passage. It is believed that none of the other Democratic Senators will ask to be excused, though sever al of the Western Senators would like to have tariff on wool and others on sugar. The Louisiana Senators have not said that they will not vote for the bill on final passage, but it is thought likely that they will not, and there is a general understanding that they will not be asked to do so. It is believed that the remaining 49 Dem ocratic Senators-a clear majority will vote for the bill and thus assure it's passage without the aid that it is likely to receive from the Republican and Progressive side of the Senate

Passengers
 and Mail on May

Purser II. NJ. Parker of the Dolphin is aboard the Princess May accompany ing the passengers of the disabled steamer to Skagway. The Dolphin had los passengers aboard at the time of the mishap 3S of whom were booked for the round trip to Skagway, and 35 of those are aboard the Princess May now completing the journey, three only having turned back. There were other passengers for Ketchikan and wayports, including 23 for Juneau landed here today and some for Skag- way, still proceeding on their journ- ey It has not yet been decided whether or not the Princess May will carry the round trip passengers south.
 Purser Parker says that the Dol phin struck at 1:25 in the morning. It was a little dark but not foggy. It is the custom in making the turn at Alert bay to sheer off. The pilot was off his course and was a little lower down than Alert bay and struck be- fore discovering his error. There was no excitement aboard the ship and the passengers were calm and tract able. The Dolphin is now steaming down to Seattle for repairs.
 The Dolphin's mail also was trans ferred to the Princess May.

PRINCIPLES INVOLVED IN
 NEW CURRENCY BILL

WASHINGTON Here are the fun damentals upon which the new bank ing and currency system will be creat- ed:
 The Federal Government will con tinue to issue the currency of the Ma tion and maintain its stability. This function, one of the inherent poten- tialities of sovereignty according to the Democratic party, will not be del egated to the banking interests, direct ly or indirectly.
 The present currency will be main- tained. It will be augmented by an additional issue of s5OO,0000, ,OOO based upon compounded collateral of the first order. It will be issued at per iods when the Government finds its use required and not when the bank CTS desire its use. It will not go into speculation, but into production.
 The 2 per cent bonds, now the ba- sis of the bank notes, will continue in their present uses. They will not be redeemed for 3 per cent bonds.
 A great reserve system of banks will be established for the purpose of pooling the assets of the banks of each of the 15 reserve districts and making it possible for individuals to get face credit.

FEVFRISH FANS
 TALK BASE BALL

The coming Fourth of July baseball
 nes between Douglas-Treadwel and
 Jneau form the subject of conversa- Iron in most spots where men cOngre-
 ate. Juneau is at present a seething Irnace of anxiety over the coming .Ontest. Everybody seemingly with a lrOp of red blood is consumed with a teverish desire to wager something on the outcome of these two games. Base ball is full of surprises. Strange things have happened. Many times a losing team has pulled itself together at a tense moment. If Juneau cops both games on Independence Day it will be one of those occasions of quick recovery.
 The boys are practicing cOnscien- tiously under the careful tutellage of Father Tom Kelly. Manager Tom Radonich says that the Pirates will give a good account of themselves. He really expects to skin the Wildcats at Douglas in the morning and hang their hides on the Juneau fences in the af- ternoOn. Etz. the new third base man has been lost to Juneau and will wear an Island uniform on July 4.
 The lineup for Juneau cannot be given in detail as final, because some thing may turn up to alter things. But from the present showing Ben Hunt will be on the firing line at Doug las. If MOlloy works-and it is cer- tain that he will-he will probably be on first base. Father Tom Kelly will work out in the left pasture. There will have to be somebody in Etz's place, likely l.. Hurlbutt. Bayless will probably go to second in event that Coughlin plays short or he may play in the field. Knapp will hold down right garden or center. Van Houten, formerly with Spokane, may play and Chick Harris may be in the lineup. The boys will be shifted about to get the best results.

FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS
 ACT IS NULLIFIEI
--O-O-

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The United States supreme court has held that the Federal Civil Rights law, which was enacted to compel people engaged in serving the public, not to discriminate against Negroes, is unconstitutional. Long ago it was held that it was in- operative in the face of State laws, but it has been enforced by the lower courts at times in the Territories and the District of Columbia and on the sea where the laws of the United States apply. In a marine case the supreme court held that the owners of a passenger ship could refuse to sell first-class transportation to a Negro and that the law against discrimina- tion is unconstitutional. The courts decision was unanimous. It was writ ten by Justice Vandevanter.
