agreement which was considered def-
mite and ended.
These declarations made nv Mr.
Polk were later confirmed on March
23 TO the Mexican representative nv
Secretary Lansing, who stated also
that he was sorry at having inter
preted wrongly the contents Of the
said note in respect to the passage of
troops and that they would not adj
vance more to the south of the place
where they then were"
Reference is also made in the note
to the declaration made by President
Wilson on March %, saying the ex-
petition was ordered under an agree
ment with the de facto government of
Mexico for the purpose only of can
turing the bandit Villa, whose forces
have invaded territory of the United
States, and on no pretext whatever
could we order an invasion of that re-
public or violation of its sovereign
tv."
mat iita, continues the note,
published by his excellency, Presi-
dent Wilson, was reCtified on March
81 by a message sent to our confiden-
tial agent In Washington, in which he
was instructed to call your attention
to the idea indicated, since the note OF
March 10 referred to the reciprocal
passage Of troops only in case that
incidents like those which occurred
at Columbus should be repeated"
In concluding, the note, which is
signed by Candida Aguilar, secretary
for foreign affairs, points out that as
the American expedition has fulfilled
it's object in so far as it will be able
to do so, as the party headed by Villa
already has been dispersed; and, f.
nally, because there are Mexican
troops in sufficient numbers pursuing
them and more forces are being sent
to exterminate the rest of the beaten
party, the first chief of the constitu-
tionalist army, charged with the ex-
ecutive power of the nation, considers
that it is already time to treat with
the United States government for the
withdrawal of their forces from our
territory"

SCHOOL OPERA rs TO
BE OFFERED TONIGHT

An unusual treat is promised at the
Rock Island high school this evening
at 8 o'clock when THE Wild Rose" a
comic opera, will be presented by the
members Of the girls glee club. The
playlet will represent the practice and
interest of several months past and
is expected to be a delightful enter
tainment.
E L. Philbrook, who is directing the
operetta, is especially enthusiastic
over the product, and declares that
the voice material and folk dancing
in the play cannot be excelled in an
amateur performance. 1t is the first
time that real comic opera has ever
been presented by the glee club, al
though the custom of having a can
tata has been an annual one and it
is fully anticipated that the produc-
ton will far surpass any of its pre-
deCessors.
The cast of characters is likewise
an unusual feature as there will be
as many as 80 in the cast. Many OF
these have very humorous parts as
is indicated by the extraordinary

The announcement that Delegate Wickersham will introduce the much discussed statehood bill on March 30 will doubtless cause a fiutter among the professional politicians and their
 horn blowing satraps down in the southeastern section but we doubt If 1t will be received by the rank and file of Alaskans with any degree of Jubiliation. Despite the efforts of the howlers to make 1t appear that statehood Is great big vital matter to the territory. we doubt If more than two per cent of the citizens of Alaska outide of the sacred precincts of that center of political trumpery the capi- tai. look upon 1t az anything else but a bit of claptrap invented principally for the purpose of providing a new slogan for the aspiring ones who seek to shine before the dear peepul" in the role of champions of the cause of Alaslda- That kind of stun makes exceedingly good spouting material for the give me liberty bunch who are surely hard pressed for issues over which to beat the drum and sound the horn up h this section of Uncle Sam's

NOME ALASKA, MARCH i, 1916.

With the present issue the Nugget submits to the reading public the first installment of the bill providing for a commission form of government in the administration of national affairs in Alaska which was offered for the consideration of congress by the Al aska delegate during the early days of the present session. It Is not the intention Of the Nugget to comment upon the terms of the proposed meas ure at the present time nor is the publication thereof to be considered as evidence that the Nugget either sup ports or condemns the proposal to change the present form of national control. At the present time the ad minlstration of national affairs in Al aska Is conducted from a remote sit- uation where the conditions are little save as they are presented through long and patient effort. Confusion and delay and lack of sympathetic cooperation are the marked features of the system wherewith the national government exercises It's control. The red tape of bureaucracy restricts and retards even the most sympathetic ef- forts to promote the welfare of this magnificent territory In which we dwell
 The measure under discussion pro poses to effect radical change in the system and to obvlate many of the difficulties under which the proper administration of national control Is carried on. In effect the measure plans to place the administration of public affairs in the hands of a commission whose sole duties will be to exercise the powers of jurisdiction over the territory at present vested in the sev- eral departments of the national gov ment and to perform the duties of said administration within the boundaries of the Alaskan territory As earlier suggested, the bill should be read and studied by every one who Las the wei fare and prosperity of the territory at heart for therein may He the pan acea for many of the evils with which Alaska Is afflicted.

HOROSCOPE.
The stars incline, but do not compel"
Tbursday, May 4, 1916.


Astrologers read this as a quiet day
since the planetary influences are not
strong. Jupiter and Neptune are in evil
place. while Saturn and the Sun are
friendly.
The seers foresee some sort of financial
trouble connected with a foreign loan.
Bankers are forewarned to be cautious.
This is not an auspicious rule for dip
lomsts. lawyers and persons who make
logical appeals. The stars foreshadow
much public hysteria in this country and
Canada, especially in regard to national
issues.
Labor troubles again are prognosti-
Gated. Trcachery and bloodshed are in
dicated.
The sway is favorable for those who
seek employment. whether in high or
humble station. The aged should be IN
usually lucky today.
Although for more than a year the
planets have forecast great gain to all
who deal in leather goods. the prognosti-
cations now appear to indicate phenom-
made for women.
Great suffering among persons depen-
dent on charity is prophesied for the
summer and appeals for aid will multiply.
According to the stars the English
army will lCsc fewer men the first two
weeks of this month than in any period
of the last half year.
Women appear 10 be gaining in the
theatrical world. Success as producers
and directors is prognosticated.
A strike in Great Britain that will
cause the King to interfere is foretold.
Again fraud in some branch OF the rev.
enue service is presascd by the stars.
This may be due TO political causes.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
guard against personal injury in the COM
ing year. Business and domestic affairs
will go on as usual
Children born on this day probably
