Somewhat crestfallen, the striking
pair repaired to the Bowhead saloon
to discuss the situation over glass of
beer. However, Mr.. Gibney's spirits
never dropped below zero while he
had one nickel to rub against another ;
hence such slight depression as lie
felt was due to a feeling that Captain
Scraggs had basely swindled him and
McGuffey. He was disappointed in
Scraggs and said as much. "How-

IN eventful nature had transpired to

Maggie, until Bartholomew McGuffey.
having heard certain waterfront whis-
Fers, considered it the part Of pru-

Scraggs and Mr.. Gibney.

briskly. ats all fine an dandy to

"Oh. amt tryin' to be disagreeable.

When Captain Scraggs had "beaten

expressive glances. Hes runnin' out

Even so. Bart. even so. Therefore,
the thing for us to do Is to run out
on him. In other words, we'll work

The engineer nodded his approval
and after sealing their pact with a
hearty handslake, they turned to and
commenced discharging the Maggie.
When Captain Scraggs returned to
the little steamer shortly after five
O'Clock, to his great Amusement. he
discovered Mr.. Gibney and McGuffcy
dressed In their other suits-including
celluloid collars and cuffs.
"The cargo's out. Scraggsy, my son,
the decks has been washed down an
everything in my department Is ship

"Iikewise in mine," McGuffey
added.
Consequently" Mr.. Gibney con-

"My dear Glib. Why, whatever's

"Stow your chatter, Scraggs. Shell

London. December 4th.-The centu-

new settlement with Ireland passed its
final stages in the House of Lords, which

and who has throughout his political
career been the bitterest opponent of
Home Rule, persisted to the every end in
his role of last ditch, even when such
as the Marquis of LandsdoWne and the
Duke of Devonshire had yielded to the
Governments view. The Duke of Dew
onshire frankly confessed that the short
month in which he has been dealing with
Irish affairs in the new Government had
converted him to the view that Irelar d
would succeed and he reproached Lord
Carson for his denunciatory speech,
which could only inf1ame passion and do
harm. There now only remains the Roy
al assent and everything will be ready
for the new Irish Govt. to come into eA-
istence with excellent omens in the ex-
pressed desire of statesmen in England TO
give it every opportunity to succeed in
its work, not only unhampered. but aided
by England. Even the appointment of
Mr.. Healy, as Governor General of the
Irish Free State, which is ~momentarlly

Lausanne. Dec, 4th. -Ismet Pasha is
still being carried along behind Tchit"h-
erin chariot tonight, so far as the members
of the Near Eastern conference have
been able to learn. Whether Ismet is
willingly Glowing Russia to speak for
Mustapha Kemali's Govt. or dares not
assert variance with Soviet Russia's
views on control of the 8osphorus and
the Dardanelles is not cleer. Ismet is
silent, perhaps he is awaiting i~nstruc-
tons from Angora. Ismet says he wants
to hear the views of England, France
and Italy on control of the Straits, be-
lure ne sets IOTIu the QPllDILS 1uTkISu
plan. and his admission that Russia's pro-
Ject for absolute control of the straits
and adjacent territory by Turkey alone
and the exclusion of all warships except
Turkish from the Straits approaches
nearer to the Turkish idea than any other
suggested has created the general i'm
preston that Russia is debating the
Turkish policy. Tchitcherin's plan was
placed directly and conciseIy- before the
delegates at the morning session. Insist
ing that Turkey should have control of
the Straits. that foreign warships should
be prohibited entry and that Turkey
should be permitted to erect Notifications

not influence the settlement of the probe
of the Straits and that their retention
there was not possible. Lord Curzon
retorted significantly that foreign troops
and ships were there now and were a
very definite factor in the Near Eastern
situation, though he hoped they would
not be a permanent factor in the
Straits. Ismet Pasha had a long con-
ference with Tchitcherin late this after
noon and so far has not indicated to
conference officials that he has a def
mite Turkish proposal to submit. Con-
sideration of the Straits control con-
%sequently is at a deadlock. Lord Cur
