Taxicab Drivers Strike.

London, Jan. 3.-An almost complete
tieup of taxicab service in London
was effected when the drivers carried
out the strike they voted Wednesday
night. 1t was estimated that 5000 taxi
cabs stood idle in their garages during
the day, the only ones running being
the few owned by individual drivers.
The trouble is largely due to the in
ability of the companies, as they claim,
to make the taxicab business profit

Judge r. A. Gunnison, of Juneau,
has been retained by George Baldwin
to contest the seat of L. V. Ray, on
the face of returns elected territorial
senator from the third legislative dis
itrict, and has notified the canvassing
board TO this effect
George Baldwin, who is civil en-
gineer residing at Valdez, claims that
illegal voets were cast at several pre-
cincts, and that on this account the
vote of these precincts should be
thrown out, which would give him a
rluralityof the votes cast over Ray.
1t will not be possible for him to get
a certificate on his claim, however, as
the canvassing board was compelled
by law to issue certificates of election
on the face of the returns, leaving the
Senate to be the sole judges of the
election of their members.
There is rumor that objection will
be made to the seating of A. G..
Shoup, elected to membership in the
House of representatives from the
first division, on the ground that he
was not legally qualified on the score
| of residence, but it is not believed
that this will materialize. Mr.. Shoup
held a position as deputy United
States marshal under his father, who
retired from the marshal's Office in
June, 1908. Following this retire
ment, the younger Shoup left the ter
ritory and was gone for some years.
He returned to Sitka in the spring
of 1912. Whether or not Mr.. Shoup
had been a citizen of the territory
during the time OF his absence de-
Ipends upon his intentions, and it is
always difficult matter to prove ad-
verse intention.
All the election returns have been
received for the canvass by the terri
torial board, except the returns from
| the second district. From this divi-
sion no returns have been received
except those from ST. Michaels and
Golovin. Senatrs-elect Elwood

representatives-elect Edgar Grimm,
Chas. Jones, Thomas Gaffney and C.

1000 mile mush between that place
and Cordova, where they will take

lieved that they have the returns

The trade of Nome with Siberia
during the past year amounted
to Sis, 900, or almost exactly to the
same sum as the trade of 1911.
Two years ago the trade was greater
but the falling off is due to the efforts
now being made by Russian traders
to obtain some of the benefits from
the growing Importance of the Siber-
ian coast opposite Nome.
1t has been said that even Russian
warships make the most of their OPP
portunities by engaging in a little
trade on their own account. Once
it was said that Russian war YES
sells crew had sold hootch to the
natives in the course of their trading,
but this story lacks the evidence that
would be required to give the story
a good foundation.
The extent of the trade with ST.
IBERIA if that territory is opened will
be of the utmost importance to Nome

Siberia in its industrial infancy its
trade with Nome amounts to about
