FAIRBANKS DEMOCRATS
 ARE HARMONIOUS

Harmonic Hall was on Tuesday night the scene of Democrats harmony such as President Wilson's own Cabinet might envy. It is not thought by in' quiring minds that the name of the hall had anything to do with it either. The 100 or more Democrats who were present just naturally felt and acted that way.
 Before they came together on Tues day evening it was rather expected iD some quarters that there would be friction: that this one or that one would take advantage of the occasion to remind someone else that he had not been treated just right by the fellow members. But when they got together. all in one room, around one fire too, the specter of discord failed to put in an appearance.
 It was discovered that the Demo crats of Fairbanks and vicinity had no quarrel with each other; that their only enemies were the enemies of De mocracy and the administration which has given Il a new birth. It was found that the members had each been inoc- ulated with the Wilson spirit of "the greatest good to the greatest number"
 All of this has a meaning. When Democrats. supposed to have been as widely separated as those of the Fair banks district, suddenly present a solid front. something is likely to fol- low. Something will follow, and that something will be a Democratic vic tory in Alaska in the next campaign.
 The railroad is already assured, and now the best way to show our appre- citation to President Wilson for what he has done in that direction would be for the Democrats of Alaska to do a few things.
 The next time we trouble a busy man like Wilson with wires from the North, let it be to inform him that this time we have something to give and

ONE YEARS ACCOMPLISH
 MENT.

WHEN Speaker Clark said in w that Iowa speech the
 other night that the best years work that has been per formed at Washington in a gen. eration is nearing it's end, he did not speak idly. Before the first twelve months of Wilson's ad- ministration shall have been completed, the Alaska railroad legislation will probably have been added to the tariff and cur rency laws. It has not been of ten that so much constructive legislation has been accomplish ed in one year by any Nation any where at any time.
 But even that does not include all that the administration has done in the line of progress. It has abolished dollar diplomacy. It has established a wider, bet ter and more enlightened mean ing for the Monroe doctrine.
 It has increased the intlu- ence of the United States for peace and for a higher plane of diplomacy. It has pur- sued the enforcement of anti trust legislation in such a way that the cooperation of the trusts themselves is being se- cured for law-keeping. It has destroyed completely the power of the Washington hired lobby.
 And all this is but a starter. Already the leaders are working out further plans along lines that indicate that the second year of the administration will see as much accomplished for progress as was performed in the first year.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

THE opinion in the East is that
 the business outlook at the
 end of January is better than 1t was at the beginning of the month, notwithstanding that that it was optimistic then. It is conceded everywhere that sub stantial progress toward the good time coming has been made since the beginning of the year. Everywhere the disposition of business men to accept the pohr cies of the administration as the established policies of the Nal tion is apparent. It is conceded that the new era has come to re- main, and business is fast accus- toming itself to work under the new rules, and, strange as it might seem, most of those doing business are beginning to con- fess a liking for the changed con- dition.

Carranza's Order Closing Port of Vera Cruz Arouses
 Uncle Sam.
HOSTILE TO AMERICA
Closing of Vera Cruz Intended as Slap at United States-Unless Car ranza Satisfies Fuller, Reinforce.
 ments to Be Sent Funston.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The unsettled political contest between General Villa and Provisional President Car ranza and the closing of the port of Vera Cruz by decree of Carranza has ed to a change in the plan to remove the American fleet from Mexican wa ters, and large force will remain at Vera Cruz indfienitely.
 Before the new evidence of Car ranza's hostility it had been decided to mobilize the Atlantic fleet off Mar ragansett. High naval officers said today that this plan had been changed and that there now will be no haste in removing the battleships and othe- naval vessels at Vera Cruz.
 Carranza's port order means tha oil cannot be shipped into Vera Cruz from Tampico, thus cripplinf the fuel supply for the railroad be- tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City. De spite the singular attitude of Car ranza it was said at the war depart ment today that if Mexican and for eign ships are forbidden from enter ing Vera Cruz it will help America, commerce. It is understood that Car ranza's order is aimed at American as we'll as against foreign ships.
 The Mexican government has r means of enforcing the order against the American vessels.
 The war department declared th'
 Carranza has not asked the United States to withdraw it's troops fror Vera Cruz, but in published state ment six months ago he denounced the occupation of Vera Cruz as un- justifiable.
 The plan of the state department as announced during the Niagara media 1 tiOn conference was that there should | first be an election in Mexico, a con- mission appointed to adjust claims and international questions and then the United States would take up with the new president the question of with l drawing from Vera Cruz It is under tsood that Paul Fuller, the presidents personal envoy, will reiterate this program to Carranza and upon the latter's answer will rest the question I of reinforcing General Funston and the adoption of more drastic policy to whip the provisional president into lnie.

WRECkS HIS BOAT,
 SAVES PASSENGERS
Captain of Lake Steamer Beaches Vessel When Fire
 Breaks Out.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The lives of 300 passengers of the excursion boat City of Chicago, which caught fire about twelve miles out from this harbor in Lake Michigan at ) o'clock this morn ing, were saved by. the resourcefulness of Capt. Oscar Biork. When the wire less failed to work Captain Bjork or dered the engines full speed ahead and forty-five minutes later the big boat, with a carrying capacity of 2,600 passengers, sank her bow in the gov ernment pier and was Wedged fast The stern sank few feet. owing to the water which had accumulated in the hold All through the ordeal the captain and crew stuck to their posts. although the stokers and enginemen were choking with the smoke and flames were bursting from the upper works.
 To avoid panic the passengers, nearly all of whom were asleep i,l their cabins, were not notified to come on deck until the pier was dimly visi- ble.
 "Women and children first!" order ed Captain Bjork, and the male pas sengers as we'll as the crew stood back. Most of them were thrown from their feet when the boat struck the pier. The plight of the ship had been seen from shore and seven tugs and two fire tugs were on the scene almost as soon as the City of Chi cago struck. Passengers descended to the pier, which forms long breakwater at the entrance to the harbor, and were later brought into the city on the rescuing craft.
 The flames were subdued after a three hours fight by the fire tugs and and excursion boats.
 The City of Chicago left Benton Harbor, Mich., eighty-five miles from Chicago, shortly before midnight. The fire started in an airshaft leading into the cooks galley amidships. The boat carried full cargo of fruit in baskets. These baskets, made of flim- sy wood, caught fire and spread the flames with great rapidity The pas sengers lost most of their baggage.
 The City of Chicago belonged to the Graham x Norton Transportation con- pany and had been in use since 1890 as an excursion boat. She left Benton Harbor late last night bound for Chi cagO.
