vate secretary to Secretary OF state

a commission to straighten out Haitian
financial and civil difficulties.

The state Department has been ad-
viscd that Gen. Vilbrun Guillaume Sam.
the revolutionary chief. has entered
Port au Prince, the capital, and had
been accepted with military and presi-
dental honors. 1t is expected that he
will assume the presidency.
The mission on which the Fort conf
mission IL sent IL different from the
Fort Santo Domingo mission. as In the
latter case It was necessary to supervise
elections. while in Haitrs case the
assembly elects the executive.
Success of the revolutionary move
ment. II IL believed, has simplified the
problem. as most Of the trouble to
which this Government has been put in
sending warships to protect interests OF
Americans in Haiti has been due to the
unfriendly attitude Of President Theo-
dorc: who has been deposed by the
revolutionists.

FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY BOUNTY ON WOLVES
 IS PUT THRoUG. {

The Sulzer bill, providing bounty of $l0 on wolves, passed the House Saturday with the understanding that the ways and means committee will appropriate $20,000 to take care of its first two years of operation, ss the maximum amount the Territol 7 will expend for the purpose, durin 7 that period. The bill will now go to Governor Strong for his signature Representative Day of Valdez dis sented to the passage of the bill.
 The Treasurer of Alaska will be disbursing agent of the bounties, and shall receive the pelts, according to the provisions of the bill. The hides must have the head and left for-arm. False statements in regard to the hides will be punished by fine or i'm prisonment, or both. Representative Heckman read a letter from Scott Simpson Canadian Indian agent at Telegraph Creek, B. c. which deelar- ed that the Canadian law providing { $15 bounty on wolves had "eleaned up those animals" and that few pelts were now coming in.
 Grubstake Amendment Passed
 The Day Grubstake contract amend ment passed the House, Represents tive Moran voting in the negative. The bill nullifies all grubstake con tracts affecting the title of mining claims "heretofore or hereafter er- tered into.' except where both par ties to the contract have absolute knowledge of the claims, andpro vides that all contracts must be dul'- subscribed to and recorded Repre- sentative Moran said he had vote against the bill under the impression that there was no grubstake law on the statute books.
 The House also passed the Senate asking for wireless stations at Sulzer. Craig and Tokeen, on the west coast of Prince of Wales island.
 The House and Senate rushed through concurrent resolution to convene at two o'elock today for the Bruner memorial services, and invi- tations to the Federal and Territorial were sent out.

FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY

London, March 3l-While bound
 from the coast of West Africa to
 Liverpool, the British steamer Fall aba with hundreds of passengers on board. was torpedoed by a German submarine yesterday, and 1ss people are reported to have lost their lives. The vessel, with the end of her long voyage in sight was steaming along St. Georges Channel. of Wexford Rarbor, when submarine appeared and gave the crew and passengers five minutes in which to leave the ship. Within that time and before all the boats had been lowered. she launched a torpedo against the Fal- aoa, and also opened fire on her with her deck gun. The result was. many of the boats half filled wiht passen- gers and crew were dragged down by the stricken vessel as she filled and sank. Other vessels rushed to the scene and succeeded in saving the lives of many. but the ships rec ords show that lSS people, passengers and crew, are missing. Several of the bodies found floating after the sinking of the steamer show wounds which are said to indicate that the submarine opened fire with sharl nel on the people who were strug- gling in the water, killing them by the dozen. 4 wave of protest Is sweep ing over Great Britain and the pap CTS from one end of the country to the other are demanding that tha government institute reprisals for what is branded as high sea murder and piracy.
