 Another despatch from Antwerp says this Zeppelin, before it was brought to earth, succeeded in drop ping seven or eight bombs into Ant werp. One of the houses wrecked by these missiles was situated only 300 yards from the palace of King AL bert Seven persoons were killed and six seriously injured by this explo- sion. Some other houses were half demolished by the falling bombs.

 The Notifications of Namur and I4iege formed the finest examples of the work of the famous Belgian mill ttary engineer Gen. Henri Alexis Brial- mont. The defensive works of Ma mur were not so strong as those of Liege, but the position of the city was much better for military pur- poses. -....-.
 The forts are nine in number, the four most important being St. Heri- bert, Audoye. Suarlee and Cognelee, while the connecting forts of less strength are Dave. Maizeret. Malonne, Marchevolette and Emines.
 All are protected by hardened steel domes, generally eight of them in each fort, and the artillery consist ing of modern heavy disappearing guns is very powerful.

MARVEL CREEK
 WILL BE LIVELY

Fred Labele and Malcolm Mcdonald, who returned to this camp last Monday from the Aniak country, reported that they met about 25 stampeders who were going to the scene of reported strike on the hwlkll river, a tributary of the kuskokwim, that comes in on the left limit about l5 miles above Bethel The news of the find, it Is said, was brought to this camp by Lapp reindeer hcrders. Among those met by La belle and Mcdonald were several well known men, including Billy Revans, Joe Jean, Joe Mevrin and Joe Venus.
 While on his visit to the Anlak MT. La belle completed arrangements for the pur chase of the Fisher interests on Marvel creek for the Marvel Creek Mining and De velopmcnt Company, of which corporation he is member of the board of directors By acquiring this property the company now controls wo-thirds of Marvel creek, and already affars are being put in readl- ness for a very active season this year. While there Mir Labele also had the com pany's sawmill moved from Marvel to Sal mon creek, a dist ance of l7 miles where they wi! this spring saw 6GO0O feet ot lumber for their own development workings, and will also manufacture 10000 feet for John Bindt and associates, who will use the lumber to extend their bedrock Hume on their Marvel creek holdings.
 MT Labele says the people of that dis trict are very optimistic, and all are mak- ing preparations for busy summer
 The Christmas season wes very joyous occasion along the kuskokwim, and many big dances and feasts were enjoyed at all the settlements Many guests assembled at Duke F. Stubbs' roadhouse for the hol!- day festival, where they were well cared for by the host and hostess. All "mushers" speak highly of this pioneer house and say the meals served by Mrs. Stubbs cannot be excelled anywhere in Alaska.
 Sam Sanderson and Ben kokrlne re turned to kclmakofsky few days ago from prospecting trip. Sam came on to Flat City, and it is said that he will shortly ramble toward the Chisana country.
 Gordon Bettles, the old-timer, who is now living st kolmakofsky, will leave that place about the 9th of this month on 8 short business trip to this camp.
 Mir. Labelle expects to return to Marvel creek shortly.

 MEETING

The meeting oi the city council on Tues day night. December 30 developed the fact 1ha; the city's finances were in excellent shape, and that after providing for all expenses of the fiscal year there would be surplus unless something unforeseen hap pened. The clerks report showed that there would be balance of Sl ,522S3 after payment of all December bills. This is in deed an excellent showing, especially AS there was no tax levy this year, and the city dads are justltGbly proud of the record for economy and good municipal house keeping which has been made
 It is probable that there will be no fur ther meetings of the council until some time in March, when arrangements must be made for the spring election The city s business has been so arranged that meet Ings of the council may be dispensed with as much as possible, owing to the fact that it is matter 0: much inconvenience for some of the councilmen to attend. Council man Bay!e9 made special trip rom IS- covery to atteend Tuesday nights meeting, os did Councilman Mutchler from Flat.
 In preparation for the spring election, R. C. Button was appointed registration agent. Under the city ordnance he will be re qurcd to keep the registration books open from 10 8 III. to p. III. from March 23 to March &l. inclusive. The election will take ylace on Tuesday, April :.

single Democrat had courage enough to obey the demands of his constltuentst, but had to follow the orders that came from the White House. Really independent splr- when anyone did attempt to have say as to what his constituents needed, he was promptly choked of by a conference Of the leaders, where all initiative on the part of individual members was destroyed.
 Cannon said that the ability to steam roll everything through WAS possible because the members knew that they would be soon be reft of all power of patronage If they dd not do as the administration directed, and because in some cases the members were not prompt to line up with Wilson, he had taken the appointments and on his own re sponbihtv, without the approval of either senators or congressman, and without the approval of the people locally, had, to pun ish one or two refractory members of either house, appointed men who were neither Democrats or Republicans, but betwlXt and between-men who, failing to know their own minds, called themselves Progressives.
 Whatever he did in congress, Cannon contended be did in order that business that was tagging might make progress. and he had done as much to forward the busl ness of the minority as the ma ajority, and they all knew it. That was one reason why the Democrats, knowing that as speaker he would give all alike square deal, took all the committee appointments away from him. and that was why some of the ambl- Wilson cracks the whip, where so jealous in calling him the czar, as they had called Reed the czar, and as they had called every one except Wilson, of whom they were afraid, but who was 8 bigger czar than any of them,
 Cannon asked if there was anything more discouraeing than to find the represents tives of the people afraid to independently voice their sentiments, lest they offend the giyer of all patronage in the White House.
 Cannon's speech, which was given with humor and animation, was very well re ceived by the Republicans present, who en- joyed the oldtime force and wit of Uncle Joe

OVER SEA IN AN AEROPLAkE
Flight of Six Hundred Miles Accomplished
 by French Aviator


 Across the Mediterranean sea from France to Tunis, distance of 600 miles, is undoubtedly the most remarkable aero plane flight yet recorded. This was sc, complshed recently by Garros, 8 French aviator, at an average speed of nearly 75 miles an hour.
 Not long ago we read of the exploits of an aviator who could turn somersaults in the air with his machine, travelling head downward for several seconds. It IS evi- dent that man IS not daunted by the 305 deaths of avlators in the past five years, l12 of which were last year. There are plenty to take the places of these martyrs to science and progress. And they are gradually winning, from week to week, gaining greater mastery and safely accom- plshing more astonishing wonders
 When one stops to think how poor d thing was the automobile few years ago, how short time it is since one depicted 8 friend on a motor trip to arrive home by train or farmers wagon, 1t seems ridicu- lous to forecast the future very far. The air yet presentse unexplored difficulties, but if the aeroplane is perfected, even if only q third as fast as the motor car, 50 years will see the highways of the atmosphere travelled as an ordinary routine of life,

STEAMSHIP PRESIDENT
 REPORTS SAD ACCIDENT
Passenqers and Members of the Crew Lose Their Lives-Lifeboat Swamped in Sight
 of Vessel, and Crew Powerless to Aid

San Francisco, Nov. 27-The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's President came into port today after 8 strenuous time buff feting the storm all the way from Seattle.
 During one of the worst blows some pas sengers were washed overheard, and two officers and one seaman lost their lives at tempting to effect a rescue.
 The passengers were standing forward Of the bridge when huge wave broke over the vessel, sweeping them overheard. The consequences of the sea breaking on board the ship were seen from the bridge, and vol unteers soon had lifeboat over the sides in spite of the terrible sea that was run ming The boat put away from the ship, but was soon swamped, the occupants two officers and one seaman being swent as sud denly out of sight and drowned.
 The accidents happened very quickly and before many on board realized why the ves- sel had stopped in her course.
 The sad fatalities cast a dampness over the spirits of all on board. It was impos- sible to save the lives either of the passen- gers who were washed overheard or the men who attempted their rescue. The waves were running mountains high, and it was little short of suicide to attempt to lower another boat for the purpose of trying to save the unfortunates.

The prisoners had managed to cut hole through the pipe, and when kokel and Smith would lean out of a %indow in a building adjoining the IaD and pour the liquor down the drain pipe the prisoners would place an improvised damper In the pipe and catch the liquor in their tin cups. A heavy rain yesterday exposed the leak in the pipe.
