manifestation Of loyalty to Britain.
In addressing the Queensland Irish
Association, Mr.. Fiheliy, while ek-
planning that personally he had no
quarrel with England he characterized
it as "the home of cant, humbug and
Hypocrisy" He declared that no
Irishman after recent events in Ireland
should be ashamed of bis nationality
or have the impertinence to apologize
for rebels.
The motion of no confidence was de.
cisively beaten, by Government sup
pOrters after a long debate marked BY
much feeling. The Opposition mem
bers thereupon sang the national an

Two States adopted prohibition, one
refused to repeal its prohibition law
and the voters of another State de-
cided not to modify their dry laws by
defeating two initiative measures fos
tered by the wet interests. The two
prohibition amendments were defeated
in California.
At five O'Clock this morning the city
Registrar for San Francisco, Harry
Zemansky, announced that the citv had
gone for Wilson by 10000 majority
and that both prohibition amendments
are defeated. Amendment No. |, to
bring prohibition in 1918 is certainly
beaten, while the second amendment is
also beaten by a smaller majority.
South Dakota adopted state wide
prohibition according to a definite
statement from Sioux FalIs. Omaha

had carried Prohibition by a small
majority according to all Indications.
Arkansas retained prohibition by a
vote of three to one,

In an effort to break up the conges,

Commerce, yesterday telegraphed to the
war department to learn if an arrange,
ment could be made to have the de.

The chamber of commerce has reeeiy,
ed many complaints from merchants
and shippers in this city that it is i'm.
possible TO obtain space in bottoms for
their shipments to the Orient and es,
peciaily to the Philippines.
Although the shipments are not great
the delay has caused local merchants
serious inconvenience. If the war de,
pGrtment is able to handle small ship,
ments out of this port it will relieve the
acute situation.
