The girl crossed the room, passing

U. s. PREP ARES
 AGAINST WAR
CONGRESS PASSES IMMENSE APPROPRIATIONS FOR
 NAVY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The senate today passed the one hundred and fft-two million appropriation for the navy and eight million additional for the construction of more submar- ines, gunboats and hospital ships. One million will be spent on armor plates, half a million will go to the construc- ton of a projectil plant. Added to this was another bill providing SIX million dollars for the erection of for tifcationS. At the last moment the senate came to the conclusion that the proposals for the increase of the navy were we'll grounded and the opposi- tion to the immense appropriations fell away.

40 WARSHIPS TN DARDANELLES
CORRESPONDENT EXPLAINS
 A VERY BAD OVERSIGHT.
Omitted Most Important Part of Tele- gram in Relation to Passing
 Appropriation.

As some few people have been un- kind enough to say that this paper suppressed the news of the passing by the senate of the bill providing the appropriation for the railroad work the Gateway thinks it is due to itself to show that such unpleasant remarks have no foundation. When a gentle man brought a copy of CordOva pap CT to this office to show the dispatch telling of the appropriation the Gate way at once cabled to Seattle for the facts. The following is the answer:
 Appropriation passed Saturady In press (message) l stated Wilson failed to raise appropriation becau e he was opposed to the purchase of the Copper River. thought you would understand it to mean appropriation passed"
 The idea came to the Gateway that some words of the message might have been overlooked by accident as the dispatch came over the cable and this paper cabled today asking the head of the Seattle department of the press service to repeat in it's entirety the message in which the news of the granting of the appropriation was supposed to be contained. The follow ing answer was received from Seattle this afternoon:
 Message sent twenty second read: Believed Wilson failed try raise ap- propriation Alaska road because is not favorably inclined towards pur- chase Copper River road Find l failed to send twenty first civil sun dry passed twentieth"
 The Gateway has not spoken to Operator Twink of the local cable of flee, but it here refers all doubters to Mir. Twink and, as far as this pap CT is concerned, he is at perfectly lib- erty to show anyone the copies of the telegrams quoted here and any others relating to the same matter. In this way it is hoped to put an end to re- marks which, perhaps, ought to be overlooked.

MAY YET HAVE
 EXTRA SESSION CONFERENCE COMMITTEE RE- PORTS BACK COMPROMISE
 SHIP BILL.
IS DOUBTFUL
PRESIDENT WILSON UNDECIDED ABOUT KEEPING CONGRESS
 AT WORK.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Presi- dent Wilson is undecided as to wheth- CT he will call an extra session of con gress or not. The compromise ship purchase bill was reported back to- day by the conference committee and it is very doubtful if it can be con sidered again this session. Several important matters remain to be acted upon before the end of the life of the present congress and it seems to be impossible to get time to accomplish any more work on the ship bill. Some administration measures have been left over entirely and much pressure is being brought to bear on the presi- dent to call the extra session. He was asked to give a statement of his in- tentions in the matter but nothing could be got from him except that he has not decided what to do. If the extra sesison is called it will be sum moned to begin as soon as possible after the adjournment of the present congress.

PENETRATE OUTER DARDANELLEs

LONDON, Feb 27.-The real truth about the opera tOnS of the allied fleets in the DardaneeS has now been received and it shows that the allies have succeeded in penetrating the inner forts of the channel These forts will now be attacked in the hope that they also can be S enced If the passage of the DardaneeS is forced the British will land an army at the gulf of Saros Following the landing of the British the Russians will begin com bned attack by land and from the Baltic on Consta
 nOpIe and in this manner it is expected the European dominion of the Ottoman empire will be conquered It is perfectly understood that the forcing of narrow channel like the DardaneeS is task of tremendous difficulty and danger and the effect might place the attacking fleets in
 position where the enemy might entrap them but the greatest care is being exercised.

NEWS NOTES

If you ever near a man roasting a newspaper you can swear he never supports the paper he roasts.
 Gus Peterson has started to build the first house on the Laubner addit- ion. At least it is called the first house with foundation. There is al- ready log cabin in the addition.
 One thing that is made evident by the telegrams relating to the passage of the appropriation for the railroad construction work is that President Wilson is opposed to the purchase Of the Copper River and Northwestern railroad. This opposition seems to "cinch" matters in our favor.
 Mrs. Johnston of Mile Six road house has been brought to the city for medical treatment at the hands of Dr. Romig.

TELEPHONES OVER THE

Professor Musso recently made an attempt to telephone over the cable from Valdez to Seward. Mir. Twink the operator in charge here, was not able to catch the professors words although the voice was heard. This professor has invented a new means for using cables as telephone wires and he has succeeded in some places He is said to be an Italian. The sue cess of his invention has just been proven for the first time on the Alaska cable.
