LEGliuRN. Italy. Jan. 16.-Six earthquakes occurred here last night causing the people of this city to rush to the streets in their night gowns and out into the cold snow without shoes or footwear.

 But little -harm was done. a, few people being hit. by falling bricks and they were cared for by the local hos pitals.

The above short message was re. ceived this morning from Washing ton and indicates that for the present the Alaska railroad bill has been dropped from it's place as the order of business until disposed of and the reclamation bill has been placed ahead of our bill.
 It is hard to believe that the dis patch can be true. because it re quires the unanimous consent of the Senate to place any other bill ahead of the one under consideration and it is sure that the friends of the Alaska bill, such as Senators Cham berlain and Pittman would have ob jected unless they felt sure that to allow the other bill the right of way would strengthen the chances of the passage of the Alaska measure. IL is also possible that the opposition to the bill has become dangerous and to push it at this time might mean it's defeat.
 The Prospector has wired to it's Seattle correspondent for full infor- nation regarding the present condi~ lion of the bill.

ST PA1'i .i>n 1"-~The officials e n" Gi:"t Northern railroad have !rncun,"'i ,lt they will spend $5,- "bo.G0D to develop the big deposits of iron ore in the iron range of Min nesota. It i% expected that the big mines will produce a vast tonnage for the railroad and that the industry will mean q large additional pOpu lation for the state.
 The excessive taxation of these properties the past few years by the state authorities has prevented the opening up of the mines, but this has been finally adjusted by the company and the stale controller and the de velopment will commence at once
 The expenditure of $5,000,000 will place the properties on big ship ping basis, as the work is largely done hy steam shovels.

Shifting Of Working Order.

and Uncle Joe" Cannon once more
face each other across the center aisle
at the beginning of the next congress.
The dwindling of the democratic ma
jority. which will drop after the close
Of the December session from 40 to
"a, will necessitate a general shifting
of the working order of the house.
With their slender majority, the
democrats, while able to reflect
Speaker Clark and retain control of
the committees will be forced to
maintain an almost perfect ~organiza-
ton. Even with a full attendance In
the house a shift Of twelve votes
would throw the control to the minor.

BIG GERMAN NAVAL VICTORY

London, Nov. cit was the British

ment off Coronel.
The whereabouts also OF the Ger
man cruisers Leipzig and Bremen re-
mains in doubt.
German officers were not backward
about commencing the bravery of the
B%ritishers in the uneven combat and
intimated that an effort to save lives
would have been made II the storm,
which assumed almost hurricane pro-
portions, had permitted.
The warships in the fleet which de
feated the English were the Scharn'
horst, Gneisenau, Nurnberg, Leipzig
and Bremen. They won as the result
of two factors-heavier ordnance and
superior gunnery. The weather was
rainy and foggy and there was a gale
blowing when the battle opened. In
spite of the mist and the rolling of the
ships the Germans made nearly every
shot tell.

Lincoln, Neb.-Additional returns
from the state election warrant no
change in the predictions already made
as to the final outcome. The demo-
Gratis have won the governor by a ma
jority which keeps growing, the audi
tor, attorney general, one regent and
treasurer for sure. The republicans
have won the railway commissioner
and one regent for sure. Doubtful
places yet to be decided are secretary
Of state. land commissioner, lieutenant
governor and superintendent.
Figures on the action Of the voters
on the amendments and measures
submitted to them are coming in rap
idly now and show that the uniform
taxation and governors salary amend
ment are probably defeated. They
were submitted by the legislature.
The workmen's compensation bill re-
ferred to the people is defeated, and
the armory appropriation bill also re-
ferred has been showed under about
three to one.
The five-sixths jury submitted
amendment Is running we'll enough
ahead to warrant the assumption that
Il will pull through. Woman suffrage
continues to lose, and, with about
.hree-ffths of the vote cast or II CON-
piled, Is behind about S,400 votes. It's
nnal defeat will be by not a larger
majority than this.

Tense. In this operation they took 200
