 wc are an optimistic people. Wa Americans. Say what you will about us We do usually try to make the test of conditions as we find them.
 That is one really nice thing about us, and another one is that as rule We are good sports. We play fair and we give the other fellow or the other team every chance and when he wins. if we are on the defeated team or side. we go across the diamond. or the gridiron or the tenis court or pctform and shake his hand. We rather admire a man who can beat Us at anything. We Americans. That shows our good red sporting blood.
 We have examples of this Anglo sixon spirit of good sport at our bail games here in Nome and it makes one rather proud that he belongs to T race of people who have the sporting ideas so we'll grounded in their nn- ture.

It is the good looser. the good sport. not the weicher. who will win out in tho end.
 There are times during an athletic contest when everything seems to be going tn favor of the other side in spite of our best efforts to stem the tide of defeat.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 12, 1914.

Way of in South Africa there is trIuble brewing. perhaps 1t has pass ed the brewing stage as reports indi- cate that the conditions are extreme ly serious for the people from the out land who have developed the coun- try and set up white mans govern ment among the natives.
 What Is going on in South Africa now Is. in a way, what happened to the English in India many years ago and 1t has gone down into history as "thc Mntiny."
 Thousands of native Indians, who had seemed completely under the domination of the white man sudden ly turned upon their masters and what followed was one of tho blood jest pages in the history of EngIand's colonial development
 Hcr native troops that she had spent years in training turned on their officers and after murdering them used the military knowledge acquired from England in fighting the small garrisons of English troops and in murdering Englishmen and women.
 England trusted to the cIvilizinc power of her rule and the natives seemed content until the flame of rev. lution blaxed forth and the land was afro with mutiny. murder and lust.
 For many years England has been steadily developing another land. South Africa. She has had to fight for her prestige there but she has established 1t and with the establish msnt of this and peace the regular gsrrisons have been largely with drawn and the only force maintained there is the territorial militia.
 Now the natives. who have been learning civilization as the natives of India learned 1t. have broken out in rebellion. Englishmen and English women are again threatened with horrers lige unto those enatced during the mutiny in India and the native troops which England has drilled and armed are turned against her and arc using their military knowledge and the arms that England furnished for the purpose of hunting and murder Ing English people.
 Very far away is South Africa. and very far away is India and yet may We not take a warning from the ex- tcricncc of our cousins with their ex- pertinent in making soldiers of shc natives of conquered land and then leaving the colonial population at the mercy of these semi-civilixed troops.
 The United States is doing tho same thing In the Philippine islands today that England did in India before the mntiny and that England ir now doing In south Africa

SHIP CATASTROPHE
AROUSES CONGRESS
Adoption of Treaty for Maritime
Safety May Be fastened
by Disaster.

Washington. May o9.-News Of the sink
ing OF the steamship Empress Of Ireland
and the appalling loss OF life stirred adj
ministration officials 10 activity to-day.
and i'm Congressional circles aroused
strons comment.
The hull OF the Empress Of Ireland
must have been mere shell for the ship
10 have gone down in ten minutes" said
Senator Burton. who was one OF the
American delegates to the London CON
vention that drafted a treaty for safety
at sea. The Senator expressed the opinion
that II the treaty had been in effect. the
hulls classification abuse probably would
have compelled the owners OF the En-
press to rebuild her.
The treaty would not make compulsory
the remodelling of existing vessels so az
to provide for separate watertight bulk
heads" he explained. but the publicity
about the condition OF those ships would
warn the public not TO patronize danger
ously constructed ships.
Senator Lewis. who also was delegate
10 the convention. declared the great loss
OF life on the Impress Of Ireland would
not have occurred had the safety treaty
been in force. This treaty is still before
a Senate Foreign Relations sub-commit-
tee. but may be reported favorably 10 the
full COMMITTEES next Wednesday.
Secretary Redfeld asked Congress to-
day for an appropriation Of $1,000 FOR
extra inspectors 10 enforce laws prevent
ing overcrowding OF passengers and ex-
cursion vessels. Mr.. Redfled suggested TO
the Cabinet the ACCESSIBILITY OF law
making it a criminal offence for captain
10 operate his vessel at full speed in a
fog. lie Secretary also said he was pre-
pairing TO investigate the recent state
ment OF Charles 5. Mellen, former pres-
dent Of the New Haven Railroad. that
some vessels owned by the railroad we're
finder boxes"

Montreal. May 2s.-Stories of tina
survivors show that following the col
lsion there was an explosion or the
Empress OF Ireland which completed the
wreck OF the ship and which undoubted-
" was responsible for the sinking OF ths
ship. This explosion probably was
caused by the thrush OF water into the
engine room and boilers.
Philip LAWYER OF Brantford. Ont. VINO
was rescued. said that almost within
minute after the collision the sea
rushed into the hold OF the ship and
that thereafter the explosions followed.
They blew out part Of the hull OF the
ship and hurled many of the passengers
into the sea He lost his wife and a son
i'm the wreck
Some OF those who were rescued were
taken TO Rimouski. where they were
placed on special trains 10 Quebec.
Forty OF those brought to Iimouski had
been injured in the wreck. They had
every care possible from corps OF ply
sloians sent on relief trains.

disaster on the st. Lawrence route
since navigation opened two months
ago, and i'm loss of life it has surpassed
anything since the wreck Of the
Titanic. In proportion of loss of life
this exceeds even the Titanic.
ut is premature to express an opin-
ion on the disaster but it is difficult to
believe that such an accident in the ST.
Lawrence so near TO Father Point could
not have been avoided.
II will not pass judgment, and hope
il will turn out to be one Of those dis
asters which could not by human
agency have been prevented"
According TO Alexander Johnston,

cries. an official inquiry into the cir
Cumstances of the accident will he be-
gun early next month.
