The meeting was addressed by Shackle- ford who urged every republican to vote at both primaries and for the same candidates, thus eliminating the possibility of irregularities at the Seward convention. He also accus- sed John Rustgard and M. J. O'Con- nor of attempting to ruin, or rule the republican party in Alaska.
 MT. Shackleford, whose name does not appear on the list of candidates for election, when asked for an ex- planation said that while he would attend the convention, he wanted to exercise his right to make challenges and see that the proper delegates would be seated atsSeward.
 It has been freely circulated that John Rustgard accuses both Shackle- ford and Wickersham of forming compact whereby they will "steam roller" the republican party in AL aska.

JUNEAU, March 10.-A dispatch says that unless the differences be- tween the factions are harmonized before Saturday, there will be two republican primary elections in the city, and each will elect twenty delegates to attend the convention at Seward, April 19, 1916.
 The differences arose from the fact that Charles Wells, who is i'll in Seattle, and the duly chosen com mitteeman for Juneau, authorized Robert c. Hurley to act in his stead, who issued the call. The rules in such case provides that in the ab- sence of the committeeman, the near est committeeman shall act, etc. M. J. O'Connor, of Douglas, being the nearest-as the case for Ketchikan- also issued a call for primary. Cau- cuses were called by both to be held at the same hour but at different places.

A HITCH SOMEWHERE.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-offi- cials of the Electric Boat Company that is expected to build the two new sea-going submarines, have noti- fled the navy department that as they have received concessions from the steel manufacturers they will be able to complete the vessels in two years instead of three. This, however, is not satisfactory to Sec retary Daniels, as it is said to be we'll known among officials of that department that the company is now engaged in building for the belli- gerent nations of Europe submarines in the short space of time of from four to six months. The question is why should it require two years to build submarines for the United States?

HOPES TO PASS
 HOMESTEAD BILL
MAY REDUCE THE SIZE BUT PROVIDES MANY OTHER
 PRIVILEGES.


 WASHINGTON, March 10.-A ia vorable report was made by the committee on the bill introduced by Delegate Wickersham early in the session for the modification of the homestead act as applicable to AL aska. The committee recommends that the area that can be located by homesteaders be reduced by half, but that homesteader having used his right to homestead in the states be allowed the added privilege of locating another in Alaska. This, it is thought, will induce many to migrate to the north and contribute their share in opening the country.
