MRS. PANKHURST NOT
 REPRESENTATIVE WOMAN


 NEW YORK, Oct 24-Speaking of woman suffrage and suffragetes, Lord NOrthcliffe, the London journalist said:
 The movement in England is in the hands, or was, of hysterical mono maniacs who have got a great deal of money, and they have employed this money in engaging men and women to set fire to theatres, to tamper with railroad signals, purchase cheap mar tyrdom by biting policemen, breaking windows, and getting crowds together in the many easy ways by which crowds can be got together.
 The vast majority of women suf- fragists in England have been working along the sane lines of American wO- men. My own personal opinion is that the violent women have undone all the work done by sensible mem bers of their sex. 1 see it stated in the American papers that Mrs. Plank hurst is here to get money. There is no doubt that the women who advo- cate women's suffrage in England have ceased contributing to Mrs Pankhurst"

CONGRESSMEN AS
 BASEBALL FANS
O-O-

During the progress of the worlds baseball series the leaders that were seeking to have Congress transact bus mess had great difficulty in securing a quorum. The members were either in Philadelphia or New York witness ing the games, or they were lowering around Washington bulletin boards.
 Representative James R. Mann, the Republican leader had considerable fun out of the situation, and suggest ed to the Speaker early in the day of the day of the first game that, if a quorum were desired, it would be we'll to make arrangements to read base ball bulletins in the House chamber. Later, he managed to get some of the proceedings of the games in the rec ord.
 A Washington dispatch in an East ern newspaper contains the following account of Mann's fun making:
 While the House was waiting in vain for a quorum, Representative out as a baseball fan" and though repeatedly ruled out of order, man. aged to keep the members informed of the baseball score in New York
 He started in with this "parliamen- tary inquiry" solemnly announced:
 "The hour of o'clock having ar rived, wish to ask if the Chair has made arrangements to inform the House of the progress of the ball game in New York;"
 That is not a parliamentary in quiry," Representative Sherley, who was in the chair. replied, while every body on the floor cheered.
 After several futile attempts to ad- journ, MT. Mann came back again.
 "A parliamentary inquiry, MT. Chair man." he asid.
 State it" said the Speaker.
 Would it be proper to announce that the score it now 3 to 1 in favor of Philadelphia in the fourth inning?"
 Out of order" said the Chair, as a messenger ran up to MT. Mann with another bulletin.
 The minority leader was not daunt- ed. After a few minutes he was up again.
 Would it be in order" he said, ito announce to the House that Baker has just knocked a home run?"
 Speaker Sherley said it would not, but Mann's announcement had gone on record.
 When Marquard was taken out of the box Mir. Mann was on his feet once more.
 Would it be parliamentary to sug- gest that a New York pitcher has just been taken out of the box?" he asked.
 At the end of the sixth inning Mir. Mann announced the score without ad- dressing the Chair and then the House adjourned to the ticker.
 Thirtyone- votes were cast on the motion to adjourn-26 to 5.

GEN. MILES AND
 STAFF IN PICTURES

PINE RIDGE, Minn., Oct 24-Gen. Nelson A. Miles, and the surviving members of the staff officers that help ed him to put down the Sioux insur- rection in 1890 are here to repeat that memorable affair before the mo- ton picture machines.
 Among the officers here with Gen. Miles are Major-Gen. Jesse NJ. Lee, Brig. Gen. Frank D. Baldwin, Brig Gen. Marion P. Maus and Major-Gen Charles F. Humphrey.
 They want me here to make sure that everything they do is historically correct" said Gen. Miles. The idea is to give the whole thing from the start-the Indian dissatisfaction; their starving condition; the coming of the false Messiah. who stirred them to re- volt; the massing of troops; the death of Sitting Bull, and, finally, the sur render. All these incidents will be gone over just as they happened"

HUERTA SEES MONROE
 DOCTRINE IN JEOPARDY

NEW MEXICO. Oct. 24.-Addressing the diplomatic corps today, Gen. Huer- ta declared that if the United States failed to recognize his government it would incur the risk of precipitating a crisis which might bring the gov ernment at Washington face to face with the governments at London, Par is and Berlin and which might lead 10 the setting aside of the Monroe doc Urine or force the United States to the injustice of intervention in Mexican affairs.
 Concluding an extended statement of the situation Huerta said. The best government Mexico ever had has been a government by the few, and 1t will be a long time before Mexico is able to have any other kind of gov ernment. What the people of the whole world want for Mexico is that it shall have a government fashioned upon the lines of the government Of England"

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
 HANSON SHOOTING
O.

The shooting of Louis Hanson, the HOOnah Indian recently brought to the hospital here aboard the U. s. coast and geodetic survey boat Mac Arthur, is surrounded in mystery. Han son stOutly protested that the shooting of which he is the victim was acci- dental. The affair occurred at Straw
 err. Point on October To. The Rev. Go0de. of Hoonah, started to Juneau with the injured man, but on arriving 1t Swanson's bay turned his charge over to the Macarthur. The circum- stances warranted an investigation which U. :. Commissioner J. E. Mar shall commenced yesterday afternoon. Jim Haley and wife. both of whom are Indians who were present at the shoot ing, gave evidence. It is believed that the shooting is the outcome of a family or tribal feud. Deputy Marshal William Fells left on a launch for iIoonah last night to bring William Mckinley, the Indian who it is said did the shooting to Juneau.
 Hanson, who belongs to the Raven tribe deserted his family, after several children were born. Nothing, accord ing to tradition. but the blood of a Raven could atone for the disgrace upon the Eagle clan. William McKin- ley had been drinking shortly before making the assault on Hanson and beat his wife It is a theory of some of those who understand the Indian nature that McKinley's wife taunted him with being too cowardly to wipe out the disgrace put upon the Eagle elan by Hanson, the Raven, and that smarting under the rebuke he went out and shot Hanson.

MANY AT GOVERNORS
 RECEPTION TO DISTIN

The reception given by Gov. J. F. A. Strong and Mrs. Strong in honor of Gen. w. l.. Distin at the Governors House last night was one of the most successful social affairs ever held in the handsome official residence of Al aska's chief executive. Despite the in element weather, the halls, drawing room, library and dining room were thronged with people who called to pay their respects to the honor guest and to Gov. and Mrs. Strong. It is doubtful if the great mansion ever held so many people at one time as were congregated under its roofs be- tween the hours of and II last night Unlike most functions of the kind there seemed a disposition on the part of the guests to finger just a little longer in the enjoyment of fellowship "athcr than hasten away to other du- ties Although it had been announced that the reception was to be very in formal there were many beautifully gowned ladies present.
 The reception line was formed at the farthest end of the drawing room and as the throng passed they turned and entered the conservatory where prom inent socity ladies presided over the punch bowl A vey of beautiful young ladies served in the spaceous dining room. The popular little den which is the Governors residential office the men enjoyed themselves at leis- seved as as a smoking room and here ure. A small room on the upper floor was also utilized to care for the over flow from the small office room.
 Mrs. H. P. Crowther, accompanied by Miss KempthOrne on the piano, contributed two songs to the enjoy ment of the evening. and Miss Kemp thOrne gave two piano solos.
 The reception for Gen Distin last night was the first general reception to he held at the Governors House since it has been occupied by Gov. and Mrs. Strong.

RAIL AND WAGON ROAD
 PROJECTS DON'T MIX

Word comes from Seattle that Dele gate James Wickersham, of Alaska, is afraid that there will be an attempt tO unite the proposition for government railroad construction in Alaska and the effort to get S1.O0O,000 a year for wagon roads into one. He says there is a fair chance to succeed with the railroad bill with the administration behind il, and he thinks the bill should not be complicated with the additional proposition. He says he will fight any move that might be made to tack a wagon road amendment to the other measure.
 The Seattle Sun quotes Delegate Wickersham as saying: The bill as it now reads is purely railroad and stands a good chance to pass both houses without much opposition. But if anybody wants to kill the bill. the best way to do it is 10 load it down with a lot of foolish and impossible amendments. In the past the apprO- priatiOns for roads in Alaska have al ways come through the War Depart, ment and there is no reason why they should not continue to be made through the same channel
