MOVE FOR IRISH

EMBARRASSING
-
Serve to Strain u. S.
British Relations in
Present Crisis.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.D

Washington. D. c., April IS
President Wilson expects to grant
an audience to Sir Auckland Geddes.
the new British ambassador, within
a few days. The state department
has asked the British envoy to hold
himself in readiness for a visit to
the White house.
But Sir Auckland will find the
task OF discussing international al
1alrs with the head of the American
government practically as difficult
as that of American ambassadors
VINO have been instructed to act as
observers" at the councils of state
abroad. For whichever way one
turns President Wilson's treaty OF
peace and League of Nations under
which European governments are
now functioning, stand in the way.
The whole structure of foreign af-
fairs is interviewer nowadays with
the execution of the peace treaty
which America signed but did not
ratify.
Bulhing larger, however, than the
lndeterminate status of the peace
treaty is the existence in the United
States of an aggressive group of
American citizens who are sponsor
ing the cause of Irish independence.
In analyzing the causes of the rift
in Americas ranks over the peace
treaty. Viscount Grey did not in
his famous letter to the London
Times feel discreet to take cogni-
zance Of what has been from the
first an active opposition to the
peace treaty and especially to Arti-
Gle X from the Irish sympathizers.
Creates Delicate Situation.
While no British envoy coming
to the United States may formally
take notice of it the Irish indie
pendence movement in this country
is unQuestionably in the minds of
President Wilson and Secretary
Colby as one OF the most delicate
questions affecting the relations be-
tween the British empire and the
United States. An authoritative out
line OF the British position as given
the wrter is therefore pertinent at
this While the Irish ques-
stssD sas gotten into American pol.
Mcs. it is no less q disturbing fac
/ tor in British politics where the
cry of all classes is to get some
thing done Immediately. Only to-
day, for instance, comes a cable
gram telling of the speech OF Lord
Robert Cecil in the house of com
mons condemning the British gov
ernment for "vacillation" and warn
ing against cycle of anarchy that
would lead to an Irish republic
The British government is resolved
to enact the home rule bill pro-
viding for dual representation for

COURT BES0UCHT
TO REHEAR CASE
AGAINST STEEL
Falls Within Reading Verdict. Is
Federal Opinion in Urging Re.
opening Of Suit Lost Recently.

Washington, April 2s-The fed
eral government today asked the
supreme court to rehear its disso-
luton suit against the United States
steel corporation.
The suit recently was decided
against the government by a vote
of four to three, with two members
of the court abstaining from par
ticipation in action on the motion
which will be taken later.
Within Reading Case.
Counsel for the government said
the steel case would seem to fall
within the Reading case which
was decided in the governments
favor last Monday and that tine
holding of the steel corporation to
be a legal combination under the
antitrust act would appear to con-
fict with the conclusions expressed
in that and other decisions"
According to the government the
courts opinion failed to determine
the question whether the corpora
ton was a combination in restraint
of the trade. The government said,
however, that apparently the opin-
ion did concede that a crime was
committed by the perpetrators OF
the steel corporation

FREAK FISH IS
TAKEN IN YUKON
Contains Testes of Male and
Eggs of Female; Unique
In Waters of North
Dawson NeWs)

DAWSON, Aug. Ga % pound sal
mon caught on the Dawson water
front this morning proved v.ri-
table freak. 1t contained both Nsthe
male testes or sperm and the usual
quantity of fully developed eggs of
the female, both fertile. A number
of fishermen on the Dawson water
front say they have been in the bust
ness twenty to thirty years and have
fished for salmon and other fish
in many streams of the North and
elsewhere in the world and never
before saw anything like this freak.
The head and other portions of the
fish are normal in appearance, but
the general shape of the fish reSem
bles that OF the male, rather than
the female of the species. The male
salmon here, as a rule, the fishermen
say, has thick and rigid belly
while the female usually is thin and
elastic in that part. The eggs and
the testes of this freak fish lay side
ny sue, WIFI blily a llIlil u diiSDdIc CIV
film-like membrane between them,
and each in fact, attached to the
same membrane. Otherwise the fish
was normal The fish was caught
by Joseph S. Gosser and James
Wannel, oldtime fishermen on the
front The salmon had traver5ed
some 1000 miles or more coming up
the Yukon to reach Dawson.
Gosser and Wannel did not know
they had such a rare specimen I'M
til they cut the fish open to dress
it. The parts were partly removed
when it came to their attention.
They then left the parts intact ard
did not remove them. They called
in a number of witnesses including
DR.. n f. Culbertson, some members
of the police force and others, VINO
saw the fish on the float on the
front. The fishermen have offered
the fish to the authorities to be
preserved, if desired. for scientific
purposes. They may take it and pre-
serve II or at least the eggs and
testes in their attached form in al
cohol, to be sent to the Federal
scientists at Ottawa.

Gently erected by the city by CON
tract by c. NJ Boyles stood the re-
cent high waters of the creek and
held that creek securely in its place
in the channel without any mishap.
The torrents that poured down
the Gold Creek valley yesterday
were a fair test for the work that
has been done on what is locally
known as Warmers Canal where
Gold Greek goes through the Casey
Shattuck Addition. The retaining
wall was built to break the force
of the waters where they hit in
sweeping around a curve and at a
place where trouble has hetofore
always been experienced at times
of heavy rains.
In the period starting with $50
a. m. August 4th. and ending this
morning at o'clock 3.37 inches
of rain fell in Juneau. At times
the rainfall was as hard as has
ever been experienced here All the
small streams which feed Gold Creek
were much swollen and Gold Creek
was a raging torrent, but the banks
were not Overflown.
Only two other periods of more
eXcessiv rainfall are recorded here
than that just passed. One was
in January Of this year when in one
24-hour period Immediately follows
ing the disastrous slide of January
"a 4R inches fell. The other in
stance was when Gold Creek went
on rampage in September, 1913,
causing the wreckage of several
buildings. At that time in the "a

The weather for the month OF

the last 26 years has failed to dis

which disclosed an excess of IL

on record since 1881 is ga degrees
