FIRST DIVISION WANTS CECEOE
 FROM ALASKA

JUNEAU Nov. 25. - comrIato form of territorial government for the First judicial division of Alaska to be known as the Territory of Seward
 Delegate Wickersham is prepared to introduce such a bill in conprass provided the people of the First fin. dlcial division will enforce it as hoh-partisan move Also the move. ment must not only have the endorse ment of the press Of southeast Alaska but the municipal government heads. IS the opinion of Delegate Wickersham expressed in Juneau yesterday.
 Delegate Wickersham sent wfra to Juneau during his campaign indorsing this move. He is now willing to make good provided he can have the sun port of both Democrats and RepubIi- cans in this division. Delegate Wick. eIsham does not want the issue to he made a political one, and result in defeat for that reason.
 Two propositions have been under discussion. One was the creating of two delegate divisions in Alaska and the election of two delegates to con gress. The other is the one cutting off the First division from the terri tory of Alaska, remaining it and giv. ing it separate territorial form of gov ernment The latter is being general ly indorsed as a non-partisan move ment in which all citizens can join.
 The movement starts first with an invitation to the press of southeast Alaska to discuss it with view of as. pertaining sentiment for it in different localities The second will be the calling of a convention in Juneau to be attended by the mayor of every ma nicipality in the First division to draft the petition to congress The third move will be the ratification of the petition by the next territorial legis- lature

BERLIN. Nov. 27. The authori- ties have discovered a clever though simple method of getting around maxi mum prices for butter and the gen eral prohibition of selling it in more than quarter pound lots. It consists of "buttered herring" consisting of one very small, thin herring, encased in about a pound of butter, which has been selling on the Berlin market for some nine marks a pound. Before the authorities discovered the ruse, deal CTS who had managed to get both fish and butter from Denmark and else, where, had succeeded in dispOsing of hundreds of pounds.

"Who's to be our next delegate to congrcss?" and How does the vote stand today between Sulzer and Wick ersham?" are the queries that have constantly been put to the Daily Times since the election If we were a pro phet or the son of a prophet we would gladly answer the first question, but as we are not, the reader knows as much about the political situation in the territory as We do, for the returns are published as fast as we receive them. And in this connection, it may be stated that the Times has spared no expense in wiring to the other di visions to learn exactly how the vote stands and what precincts are still unreported.
 In all of the divisions, except the First, there appears to be no discrep- ancy in the vote. The Juneau papers, however, do not agree on the total count of that division, although there

 IN AMERICA

PATERSON, N. J, Nov. 27. - Wo- men may get practically all of the col or effects in dress goods that were known before the war upset the dye industry, and will soon have every known color to choose from, all made in America, fully as good in quality as those made in Germany or any other country, according to |. F. Stone, pre- sident of the National Aniline and Chemical Company who addressed the National Silk Association convention here.
 MT. Stone told many interesting things about the dye situation. The seriousness of it, as it was viewed two years ago, has largely disappeared he said. Large increases in produC- tion of dyestuffs by the already estab- lished factories in this country, and the installment of a large number Of new factories, has so cleared the situ- ation that at the present time the production of the American factories will be enough to take care of the whole consumption of aniline dyes in this country in the future for all of what l might term staple colors, and before another year has passed every color which is necessary to American consumers will be produced in this country"

Qreat crowd In aalleries.

Washington, Mar I'm a tumultous
session the house today went on record
on the issue Of warning Americans off
armed liners.
The first test resulted in a vote of
256 to 100 in the administration ia
vOr. The house by that ballot refused
to permit amendment Of McLemore's
warning measure.
A second roll call was Immediately
begun on the proposition of adopting
the rule to bring Mcl4emore's warning
before the house,
II was evident that the administra-
tion would win again on,a second early
roll call, and that the rule would be
adopted.
AS the proceedings went on excite
ment increased. More than 10000 spec
tatOrs iammed every available foot of
space in the galleries included in the
thrOng were many figures prominent in
world politics, as well as representa-
tives Of the belligirent nations.
Some Warm oratory.
The impassioned flights Of oratoFy
stirred members as we'll as auditors TO
frenzy. The applause increased in
volume. Women waved handkerchiefs.
Rumors that President Wilson would
not regard war as mwelcome, which
were so hotly denied last week, were
revived and circulated through the cap
itol. Friends Of the administration met
these reports with heated denials and
denunciation.
On the floor republicans and demo-
Gratis got together on opposite sides of
the momentous question.
On the second roll call the admins
tration won another victory BY a vote
OF 27l to 1873 the house adopted the rule
bringing the resolution up for final
disposition.
Party affiliations were generally ef-
faced on the first ballot, but the demo
Gratis voted as a rule to cut off amend
ment of the McLemore resolution.
