BURNSIDE IS NOW AT
 TACOMA DRY DOCKS

Under date of May IS the Juneau Empire prints a telegram from Ia coma stating that the cableship Burn side is on the dry docks there and will probably remain for about three weeks while her rudder, which has done service for the past thirty-four years, will be replaced with a new one.
 An inquiry at the local cable office as to the truth of this statement re- veals that this is likely to be the case, for while no direct information had been received as to the length of time required for the work it was known that the vessel was laid up.
 In the meantime tests are being made both here and at Sitka to locate the break and that will have been ap- proximately ascertained by the time the Burnside is ready to leave and will greatly facilitate the making of the needed repairs.-Valdez Pros pector.

CALLAHAN APPEAL
 IS NOW PERFECTED

FAIRBANHS.-The bin of excep- tions in the case Of the United States vs. Dan Callahan was filed with the clerk Of the court yesterday afternoon and the matter will be taken up be- fore the court on the sixth of the month, which was the time fixed for the settlement of the bill of excep- tiOns, following which will come the assignment of error
 The case will be rushed through as soon as possible, so that it may be quickly determined by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appals at San Fran cisco at an early date. AS it is, it will require some months before the matter can be presented in San Fran cisco, as the case must take its place on the calendar, which is a long one. But delay is not desired by either the defendant or the government in this matter, and Leroy Tozier, attorney for Mir. Callahan, is giving the matter his very closest attention Times.

UPROAR ABOUT IRELAND

LONDON, May 22.-One of the most exciting scenes in the records of the British parliament occurred this af ternoon when Timothy Heay bitterly attacked the gov ernment for what he called the cowardy murder of the leaders of the Irish revolt Heay is of the most ven erabe and brilliant members of parliament and kings counsel of fame He had always been opposed to anything
 like unconstitutional methods in Irish politics and sup ported the empire in the present war enthusiastically Like others of his kind however the medated executions of the Irish revoers has had the effect of embitterng him. During debate on the executions this afternoon Heay cried: q am not going to stand here and see our people shot We are not in Prussia The extraordinary part of the matter was that of the English members of the house cried out in approval of his words while others shouted their dissent For time tremendous uproar prevailed and the house was unable to transact its business The high standing of Healy was the chief reason for the demonstration many of the members of parliament apparently having new light thrown on the subject by his condemnation of the executions

SHACKLEFORD SAYS
 WICKERSHAM IS
 MARKED FOR DEFEAT

SEATTLE, May 9.-After serving for eight years as delegate to Con- gress from Alaska, Judge Wicker sham will probably be defeated at the election early in November, in the opinion of Lewis P. Shackleford of Juneau, delegate to the Republican National convention. Together with Tom Lloyd, the man who first ascend ed the summit of Mount Mckinley, and an alternate delegate to the con vention, Shackleford arrived in Seat tie last night on the way to Chicago. They registered at the Hotel Butler.
 "Mr Wickersham refused the nom ination when it became evident that the regulars controlled the peman- ent committees" said Mir. Shackle- ford this morning. "He probably thought the convention would be flooded with Wickershamites and was disappointed when this was discovered not to be the case. w. A. Gilmore, of Nome, the other delegate, and myselr, belong to the regular faction. We are not Progressives."
 c. D. Murane, now of Juneau and formerly of Nome, will be the next national committeeman from Alaska, said Mir. Shackleford. Thomas Lloyd of Fairbanks and Ed. c. Russell, of Juneau were named alternate dele gates.
 "The business outlook for Alaska is very good" said ShacMeford. "OIin- ing and fish show great activity in Southeastern Alaska and along the gulf. The general improved outlook is due to the price of copper Quartz mining has never been more active" Seattle Times.

ACCIDENTLY KILLED BY
 OWN GUN AT LITUYA

JUNEAU, May 15-Word was brought to Juneau today from Lituya Bay of the accidental killing of Louis Aissa at that place April 24th. B. McDevitt and Louis Latanzia reported the accident. According to them. Aissa was digging clans on the beach with Gus Stedner and had plac- ed his shot gun across a rock near him. Later he told Stedner he had enough clans and would return to the cabin. Stedner continued to dig, with his back to Aissa.
 A couple of seconds later Stedner heard a shot, and on turning, saw Aissa fall, dead. B. McDevitt, who was passing in a row boat was called and the two men carried the dead man to his cabin, and he was buried by the miners.
 From the story of McDevitt and Stedner it appears that when Aissa picked up his gun, he took hold of the barrel, and the hammer caught, caus- ing the discharge of the gun. The full charge hit Aissa in the breast and death was instantaneous Empire.
