Cappes Against Abandonment.

William r.. Cappes, OF Newark, sec
rotary of the Morris Canal Protective
Association, spoke against the aban-
donment of the canal and favored the
adoption of the resolution introduced
by Assemblyman Rowe, of Newark,
calling for a Statewide referendum
on the canal situation
One of the best arguments advanced
against the abandonment of the canal
was made by Valentine b. Kane, of
Paterson, secretary of the Manufac-
turers' Association. He wants the
canal kept open, claiming that it
would be a great benefit to manufac-
turers if 1t We're operated. He told
of talk he had with a large coal
dealer and that the dealer told him
that If the canal was in operation he
could sell coal in Paterson IS ton
cheaper than at present.

TICKET PRINTED WAS
 NOT AN OFFICIAL ONE
Secretary of Divisional Committee Says Democrats Have NOmi-
 mated Only Two

The following letter was received this morning showing the position of local democrats:
 Seward, Ala, Sept. IS, 1914. Seward Gateway
 Please give equal prominence in your paper to the following, as that given to your statement in the issue of the 16th under the heading: "Local Democrats Get Out Their Ticket. At Cordova, on the 10th instant, the Democratic Divisional convention se- lected Thomas c. Price of Cordova to be the party nominee for the senate and Thomas Holland of Chitna for representative.
 The three remaining positions for representative were not filled as it is expected that candidates for said po- sitions will be nominated by other parties, or Independents.
 The ticket referred to by you was a private order and so far as the rep resentatives are concerned contains the name of but one candidate nomi- mated by the Democrats-the only one-that of Thomas Holland.
 Respectfully,
 GEO. PHELPS, Secty. of the Divisional Committee.

King George the Fifth signed the Irish Home Rule bill today and so there went on the statute books of the British Empire the law that will draw the Irish and the British peo- pies close together after centuries of bitter animosity. Immediately after it became known tat the bill had been signed by the king the Prime Minister prorogued parliament until Oct. 27 and there ensued one of the most impressive and thrilling sights ever witnessed in the history of the British house of commons.
 All the members rose in their places as they were about to disperse while the great war is raging and as one man they sang "God Save the King. Then came rounds and rounds of deafening cheers for the army that is battling in France and for the em- pire that is united as it never was before in all it's long history.
 The war is said not to have had anything to do with the hastening of the Home Rule measure. Prime Min

 NOW DEMOCRATS
ROOSEVELT CAMPAIGNS FOR DEMOCRATS AND UNION
 MAY COME

BURLINGTON, Sept. 17.-The pro- gressives are now discussing the ques- ton of coalition with the democrats on the state tickets and the chances are very good that regular union Of the two parties will be formed here to defeat the republicans. The pro- gressives now pretty we'll know that they cannot hope to stand alone so that another party will probably arise should the democrats permit the pro- gressives to join them on equal terms.
 PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17.-The progressives of this state have en- dorsed Vance Mccormick, the demo- cratic candidate for governor. Theo- dore Roosevelt and other progressive leaders will campaign for Mccormick so that the extraordinary sight of a once republican president of the United States speaking against the candidate of the party to which the present president belongs will be witnessed.
 It is thought in some political cir cles that a thorough union between the two parties is now promised but many think that the democrats will consent to no union in which the old time democrats will not predominate. unless it might be in state elections or local ones. a

IRISH HOME RULE IS WON
 AND PARLIAMENT PROROGUES

ister Asquith and all the members of the cabinet had sworn long before the war to make the measure law no mat ter what the consequences might be.
 When the prime minister some days ago announced that the bill would be brought up for final passage in spite of the worry and the trouble brought on by t..c war Arthur Balfour, for merly conservative prime ministe. and the greatest foe of Irish Home Rule, declared that the liberal govern ment would take a step that would still plunge the country into civil war. He was howled down from all parts of the house and reminded that the Irish themselves have offered to defend the coast from any foreign invasion. So the bill came on and today it was made law forever when the king affixed his signature to it. Ireland is said to be gone wild with delight that the bill which had been threateneo with defeat has at last gone on the statute books and an Irish parliament established in Dublin.

BATTLE STILL INDECISIYE

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-A great artillery battle is now raging along the banks of the river ASne but the struggle is still indeCiSve and yet tell the outcome Time after time both sides send in their cavalry and infantry under the cover of the tremendous batteries but casOn has either gained the slightest advantage The country occupied by the Germans is ideal for defense and the task of diSOdging them will be simply tremendous So strong is the position and determnedy the Ger fighting that it is believed that they will be able to delay the advance of the allies into German territory for very long time. Hardly change could be noted this morning in the relative positions of the opposing armies Most of the fighting today is being carried with artillery The German generals evidently had stud jed the ground before they began their retreat and fall ing back they, doubt knew exactly what formidable position they could take up. Their armies still solid in spite of the retreang and is still capable of enormous resistance.

LEAVES ON AN OTHER GREAT VOYAGE
 OF DISCOVERY

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-Shackleton, the man who almost discovered the south pole before Amundsen, has started out once more in the effort to cross the Antarctic ocean from sioe to side. The expedition left this city in two parts, one of which will go by way of South America and the other by New Zealand It is the hope of Shackleton to reach the pole and to continue northwards until he comes out on the other side. It is expected that this expedition will clear up for ever the question as to whether great bodies of land exist in the antarctic regions.

VILLA FRIEND
 OF CARRANzA
TELEGRAPHS PRESIDENT WILL SON NO FRICTION BETWEEN
 HIM AND OTHER LEADERS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Presi- dent Wilson has received telegram from General Villa stating that there is no friction whatever between him and the other Constitutionalist lead CTS and that all stories published to the effect that he is inimical in any respect to Carranza are founded on falsity. It is assumed here that the telegram was sent by the Mexican general so that no hitch might occur in the intention of moving the Ameri- can troops from Vera Cruz. The prob ability is that in spite of objections to taking the troops home the order for the removal of them from Mexi- can soil will be carried out.

WAR WILL NOT
 STOP RAILROAD
COMMISSION MEARS SAYS TWO THOUSAND MEN PROBABLY
 WORKING NEXT YEAR

Enthusiastically as encourag- ing words for the merchants and bus mess men of Fairbanks as any that have been heard here in months were those uttered yesterday by Lieut.. Mears, when he estimated that in the summer of 1915, there would be at least 2,000 men working on the con struction of the Interior end of the Alaska railroad.
 Regarding the bearing of the pres ent war on the railroad bill, Lieut.. Mears stated that he did not think it would effect it in any way. The en- gineering commission expects to have it's report in the hands of the secre- tary of the interior shortly after the first of the year and within a very few weeks afterwards it will be up before congress for consideration.

 AS A DEMOCRAT

Alexander H. Bradford announced himself today as candidate for the territorial house as democrat. He is a young engineer by profession and is we'll known in Seward to be clean, bright and straightforward man. He has lived in the territory for 8 years and is a strong supporter of the eff forts to open the coal fields while he is just as strongly opposed to the principle of conservation as applied to Alaska. He warmly endorses Presi- dent Wilson and all his policies and as a supporter of the democratic admin istration and democrat in every way he will go before the electors. He left for the west today on the Dirigo on business trip.

 CROSSLEY JOE
WELL KNOWN DEMOCRATIC AT TORNEY OF FAIRBANKS WILL
 BE DISTRICT ATTORNEY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Rhein- hart B. Roth of Fairbanks has been nominated by President Wilson for the position of district attorney of she fourth judicial division of Alaska. 1t is not expected here that much op- position will be offered to the appoint ,nent outside of the usual objections presented against all appointments. Roth is a democrat who was dele gate to the recent convention of the Alaska democrats. He was formerly allied with the Harrais forces but is said to have thoroughly repented. The appointment is regarded here as a proof that the president intends in future to appoint Alaskans to federal positions in the territory and so be m accord with the wishes of the aorthern people.
 Roth takes the place of J. J. Cross ley who has been federal attorney since the republicans were in power.

BEST ALASKA QUARTZ
 COUNTRY SAYS ROMAN

That the district around Seward, which includes Knik, Willow Creek etc., is the test quartz country in all Alaska is the statement made this morning without any hesitation by John Roman, one of the most promi- nent mining men in Alaska as well as one of the most prominent in the poli- tics of the territory. Mir. Roman has mined in the great quartz states our- side all his life and has been one of she most successful mining men in the interior of Alaska. He has spent several months now prospecting all over this district in every part of it and has come to the conclusion that no other mining field he knows of any where comes near this. He will leave tomorrow for the Moose Pass district.
 "If did not think this to be great mining country l wouldn't be here" he said.
 In the political way MT. Roman says that he wrote to the democratic con- vention and to the leaders of the par ty in Fairbanks stating that he will be unable to give his time at present to the work as democratic committee man and he believes that on this ac- count some one else has been select ed. Tn the accounts of the different conventions, however, no change has been published and MT. Roman is still probably kept in the place against his wishes although this is not sure.
