 OF CONGRESS

WASHINGTON. March s. - The administration is nightly pleased with the splendid endorsement of Will sons foreign policy, as shown by the big vote Tn both houses of Congress. defeating the resolutions calling on the government to warn American travellers off the armed merchant yes sells of the belligerents. With Con gress squarely behind him. Wilson is now prepared to proceed with the sus- pended submarine negotiations. The house voted 276 to 142 against the proposition, and there were twelve pairs. The next diplomatic step of the government will probably be to for ward an answer to Berlin regarding the last German memorandum on the Lusitania controversy. In this answer the government will set forth the pro position that GermanyS new cam paign must be considered as a part of the Lusitania negotiations, and the President will ask further assurances from Berlin that their submarines will not so act as to endanger American lives.

OVER M|LL|O N POUNDS MEAT
 WANTED

An idea of the amount of work in prospect along the government rail- road may be gained from the fact that the Alaskan engineering com mission has called for bids for 1,170,- 900 pounds of fresh meat to be deliv- cred at construction points between Kern creek and the Talkeetna forks of the Susitna river, between July 1 of this year and July l. 1917.
 Bids are invited for furnishing and delivering S40,OO0 pounds of beef, 20O,- 900 pounds of pork and 13O,OOO pounds of mutton.
 This meat is only for such points as are remote from established set dement's. where the commission will be forced to establish mess houses or commssary for supplying station men. Men working in Seward or An chorage on the reconstruction work along the Alaska Northern will not be supplied by the commission direct.
 The amounts in which this is to be delivered at the various construction points where mess houses will be run, shows about how the work will be distributed.
 At Anchorage and on the Turnagain arm section more work will be done during the summer months and fall of this year than during the winter on the Matanuska branch line and the Matanuska-Talkeetna division more work will be done next year

B|G COMPANIES ARE INDICTED
 IN OH|O

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, March {. - The Mahoning county grand jury to- day returned indictments against the United States Steel Corporation and five other steel companies, charging them with violations of the state labor laws, inasmuch as they had combined to fix the wages to be paid their em- plUyees. The Ohio statute makes it an offense for competitors in the same line of business to combine for such a purpose, even though their relation ship does not bring them within the scope Cs the Sherman antitrust law enacted by Congress. Individual off cers of the companies affected have also been indicted, including Judge Gary head of the big steel corpora ton. Gary is the chairman of the eX- ecutive committee of the United States Steel Corporation.

VIEW IN SUBMARINE
 WARFARE

WASHINGTON, March 8. - Ambas- sador Bernstorff today called at the state department and presented Sec retary Lansing with a brief, setting for the point of view held by the German foreign office regarding sub marine attacks on armed merchant vessels. The Berlin diplomats main tain and argue that the armed ship controversy is part and parcel of the Lustania negotiations. but Secretary Lansing holds a different view, and so told the ambassador. Berlin contends that the whole submarine question presents case of first instance. as the present conditions of underwater warfare were not considered when the present rules Of international law were adopted Further Germany main tains that Great Britain has taken advantage of the contention of the United States that American travellers must not he injured when voyaging on the defensively armed ships of the belligerents. to instruct the masters of such ships to act offensively to- wards submarines. Therefore. the Germans say that the international ac-I cepted code Of war contains no pro- vision for such a change of policy as alleged against England, which must be met with further changes by Ger many in order to counteract. Bern storff says that Germany is perfectly, willing to instruct her submarine commanders to operate their craft ac-, cording to the old international code of law provided Great Britain will obey the same laws and see that her armed merchant ships will not act of fensively against the Teuton suhmar- ines.

In this they were successful, so that the situation in this region is practically unchanged The same report comes from the fighting zone north of Verdun. where the war office reports no changes. The German attacks last night were without gain to them, but the scene was terrible one, as the fighting was hand to hand illumined by flare lights thrown from the German trenches. before their troops charged. Artil- lery duels continue unabated, both sides using their big guns almost necessarily, while the smaller bore guns are brought into action to repel the enemies charges.

 FRE|GHTER

According to advces from the east, the Alaska Steamship Company has purchased the steamer Eureka from the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, and the vessel will be brought to Ia coma for operation in the ore trade from Alaska to Tacoma.
 The Eureka is well known on this coast, having formerly operated from Tacoma in the trade to Alaska and San Francisco. She will be sent from New York to the West coast and will bring ore from the West Coast to the Tacoma smelter.
 s. The purchase price for the Eureka #is said to have been approximately S250,O0O. She is a steel freighter built in Cleveland in 1899 for operation on the Great Lakes. She was brought to the Pacific coast several years later by the old Globe Navigation Company, which sold her to the Pacific Coast Company. She is 237.5 feet long. 42 feet beam and 234 feet deep, with a gross registered tonnage of 2,122 tons, and a net registered tonnage of 1899 tons. She has cargo capacity of B. 800 tons. and is equipped with oil burning boilers.
 Early last year the Pacific Coast Steamship Company chartered the Flu reka to the Crossett Western Lumber Company of Wanna, Oregon, which operated in the intercoastal lumber trade until the closing of the Panama canal. Since then she has been op- erated in the Atlantic coast trade.

+ Another suggestion is that the city
and county pay out of its general funds
the estimated deficit for 1916, that is,

legislature.
Still another plan he suggests is
that water meters should be installed
over the city wherever there is sewer
service and that sewer charges be
made which shall be from IS per cent
to 80 per cent of the water charges. 1t
is believed that such charge would
be equitable and would effect large
saving of water. p.
