LONDON, March 25. - The Ross steamer Sussex was torpedoed when near the French coast early today. The Sussex is one of the fleet of boats which ply in the English Channel, be tween Dover and Calais, and is pas senger boat. An examination of the passenger list at Dover showed that there were twenty-five American citi- zens on board the vessel. Full details have not yet been received as yet, but it is thought that the loss of life was small. Among the injured passengers is a Miss Baldwin, a daughter of a prominent American resident of Paris. The young lady is seriously hurt, in curing, among other wounds, a broken leg. Her father and mother were also on board the Sussex, return ing home from a visit to friends in England. Other Americans on the ship were Miss Alice Ruiz, of Colo

INSIDE POLITICAL DOPE

This is the inside history of the present political mixup in Alaska, and was quietly passed out as a feeler to a few of the party workers. The frame-up was not popular with any one but Shackleford henchmen, and many regular Republicans openly de clared that they were opposed to Shack rather support Wickersham than to again allow the Juneauite to control the politics of the territory.
 In order to bolster up a lost cause, press dope was furnished from Ju- neau, to the effect that Shackleford controlled practically all the delegates from the First, Second ad Fourth di- visions, while those of the Third were so divided that they didn't enter into his calculations The facts are that the First division delegation is com posed of both Shackleford and Wicker sham men. and when the latter learn that Wicks nomination can be se- cured without any support from Shack they win be for the delegate first, last and all the time. In the Second di- vision there is decided split, while in this division fifty out of sixty of the delegates are anti-Shackleford. The Fourth division is composed prin- cipally of straight Republicans, and Shack never did stand very high in the TanaAa valley.

the wake of the torpedo which sank the ship, and asserts that the accident was not caused by mine. The wea- ther at the time was clear and beau tiful, and Bemis says he could not possibly have mistaken the wake of the torpedo. He saw the wake reach the side of the ship. and the moment it did so a terrific explosion occurred.
 LONDON, March 25. - It has not yet been certainly ascertained whether any Americans were among those who perished on the Sussex or not. The officials are endeavoring to compile an exact list of the survivors, and it is unofficially stated that all of the Am ericans were saved. From the state ments made by the survivors it is al ready learned that the preponderance of the testimony favors the theory that the Sussex was sunk by a tor pedo from a submarine.

 TIRED CRITICISM

WASHINGTON, March 25. - Pre- sident Wilson is preparing a statement which is expected to be issued this afternoon, denouncing the alarmists who have been circulating untrue re ports in certain American newspapers concerning the conditions on the Mexi- can border. The president is greatly incensed at the lack of patriotism which the authors of these false re- ports are showing. as he believes they are striving to embroil this country in a war with Mexico for the purpose of aiding their own selfish ends. The president has been making a quiet in vestigation of the matter. and he has much information about the untrue rumors, and after discussing the mat ter with the cabinet, and coming to the conclusion that an effort was be- ing made by this propaganda to force a general intervention in Mexico, it has been decided to lay the facts be- fore the public.

The Republican political situation in Alaska is rather a unique one, and some mighty interesting developments are expected at the Seward convention on April 19. While it is practically conceded that Delegate Wickersham will seek the regular party nomina- tion for reelection, his followers do not credit the story sent out from Juneau that Wickersham has made a combination with Shackleford to se- cure the coveted prize. In fact, he has wired a local supporter that he has not, and will not, make any alli- ance with Shackleford. The denial, however, has not deterred the Juneau ite from going ahead and electing delegates from the First division on a Wickersham-Sh ticket. It is now claimed that this was clever move on the part of Shack to secure representation at the convention, in the hope that he might be able to force Wick into some sort of deal.
 The breach between the delegate and former national committeeman can never be healed. and it is freely predicted that Shack is not sincere, and intends to double-cross Wick, if the latter is willing to be party to any such deal. which his friends say he is not. If the reported compact

cept in toto, and thus gain the good graces of the Juneauite and his hench- men. On the slate was found the name of Cornelius D. Murane, former Alaskan, who lives and is practising law in Seattle. for national committee man. For delegates to the national convention MT. Shackleford selected himself and William A. Gilmoure, of Nome, who is now in the States.
 When this program was laid before the party men of the territory 1t was received with anything but the enthu- siasm that it was expected to arouse. Some were even so bold as to demur on the ground that Shackleford was "hogging" the whole game. while in reality he was dead cock in the pit. and entitled to no consideration. Shack, however, declared that he was going to support Wickersham, provid- ing he could control the Alaska pat ronage: also that after Murane's cleo tion as national committeeman. he would land him judgeship, and his resignation follow; that then the local committee could select it's own nation al committeeman. Very generous on the part of Mr Shackleford, as he hoped that under a Republican admin istration, and the patronage under the control of a henchman, that he could force his own election as committee man.

WILLARD | [ I 5 DECISION IN
 1O ROUNDS

NEW YORK, March 25. - The ten round bout between Jess Willard and Frank Moran, for the heavyweight championship, took place in this city tonight, and was witnessed by an inn mense throng of sports from all parts of the country. The event was pulled off at 9:30 o'clock, and when the contestants entered the ring each was greeted with much applause. Both men were in fine condition, and confi- dent of victory, although Willard was the favorite in the betting. At the end of the tenth round Willard was awarded the decision, and thus re tains the championship. While Moran stayed the given time and there was no knockout, the fans regretted that the fight did not last twenty rounds, in order to test out the merits of the men

 SUNK BY
 GERMANS

WASHINGTON, March 25. - Later advices concerning the sinking of the Dominion liner Englishman, state that eighteen persons are missing, includ- ing the four Americans. State depart ment officials also consider that the case seriously complicates the already strained relations between the United States and Germany, as the officials believe that the attack is a direct vio- lation of the earlier promises of Ger many in regard to attacking merchant vessels without warning. The Eng iishman was sailing from Europe with out carrying contraband, and the in formation so far received shows no reason for the attack, except that the vesrel was a British ship. The gov ernment announced that it would i'm mediately undertake full investiga- ton of the torpedoing of both the Englshman and the Sussex.

should materialize, Wickersham would have the hardest fight of his life to be reelected for the simple reason that the voters will not sand for any candidate who has Shackleford string to him. This was very forcibly demonstrated in the defeat of the last two Republican nominees for the of flee. Shack "butted in' to the Orr campaign, when he promised to absent himself in the States. He forced Gil more's candidacy at the Cordova con vention, and in both instances Wicker sham had a walk-over.
 Territorial Chairman Heron melted the displeasure of the Juneau boss in refusing to allow him to manage the recent territorial committee meeting to his own personal gain. Be 1t said to the credit of Mir, Heron that he stood pat for an open primary, and q fair representation at the convention, the time and place of which he in sisted should be settled by the com mittee, and not one individual. As soon as these facts became known to Shackleford, he enlisted the support of some wealthy and influential poli- ticiaas in Seattle, and attempted to force his plans through. At confer ence of these outsiders. held at the New Washington hotel in Seattle, sev- eral weeks ago. a slate was arranged, which Alaskans were supposed to ac-

fired several torpedoes, only one of which took effect, this one succeeding in sinking the Alcantara. The Alcan- tara was serving duty as a warship, being one of the British patrol ships guarding the North sea from maraud- ing German warships. The Grief never got beyond the line of the Brit ish patrol, being spotted by the Al cantara, who challenged her identity at once The Grief was similar ship to the Moewe, which caused so much damage to British merchantmen be- fore she was captured and sunk.

WASHINGTON, March 25. - A re port was received from American con suls in Great Britain today, stating that the Dominion liner Englishman, D was torpedoed and sunk by German submarine. The Englishman left Boston, Mass, some time ago with a cargo of horses, and her crew con tained many American citizens. The ship carried no passengers. The re- port places the scene of the attack as close to the British Isles, without specifying the locality. Four of the Americans are missing, their names being Peter Mcdonald, horse fore man, whose home is in Boston; Geo. Mcdonald, of Lawrence, Mass; P. Buckley and M. A. Burke.

A mum Der of the passengers became panic stricken and jumped overheard, re fusing to wait for the small boats to be launched. and at least one-half of these were drowned. A trawler and a British torpedo boat destroyer were close by at the time of the catastrophe, and took off the survivors before the ship sank.

the British ship was torpedoed by the Grief. The total British losses were five officers and seyenty-nine men. The Alcantara was a big ship, being a fifteen thousand ton Royal Mall liner. When the German ship ap- preached it was not thought that she was a German commerce destroyer, as no guns could be seen, and she was disguised as a Norwegian merchant man, flying the Norwegian flag from her masthead. The Norwegian flag was also painted on the side of the ship. During the whole fight the Grief
