TWENTY-N|NE
STATES NOW
WANT REPEAL
Maryland, Minnesota And Colo
RADIO Join Wet Column In Yes
terday's Elections.
SEVEN OTHERS REQUIRED
With Ten More Voting In Near
Future Vets Confident OF
Victory.
By UNITED PRESS

The approval of only seven more
states was needed today to remove
the 18th amendment from the con-
stitution. Substantial returns from
Colorado and Minnesota, which with
Maryland voted yesterday, indicat-
ed good majorities for repeal. Mary
land was wet by an overwhelming
majority. They were the 9th, 28th
and 29th states to join the unbroken
wet parade.
Repeal led in Colorado by more
than two to one. Repealists were
maintaining the same lead in Min
nesota. In Maryland the repeal vic
tory was expected to approach the
proportions of 5s to l.
Yesterdays landslide for repeal,
following close on wet victory in
the prohibition pioneer state Of
Maine Monday, placed repeal with
in reaching distance of actuality.
Ten states vote between now and
Nov. T. Vets are confident of win
ming all, but need to win only seven
for victory.
New Mexico and Idaho vote next
Tuesday. Virginia votes Oct 8.
Florida Oct. 10, and Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, North and South Carolina,
! Utah and Kentucky, Nov. 7. The
last repeal convention will be held
Dec. 6 and if the vets are victorious,
the 18th amendment will die on that
day
Two of Maryland IS eastern shore
counties apparently were dry, re-
sisting the overwhelming repeal sem
| timent of the rest of the state.
Rural sections holding true to tra-
| ditional dry allegiance, made the
wet victory less overwhelming in
Minnesota, but the state S cities
, proved themselves no different from
cities elsewhere.
Minneapolis was almost to 1
wet; st. Paul about Az to /.
Every urban center of Colorado
was wet, while rural communities
displayed dry tendencies. Denver IS
wet majority was to l. Lake
county, in which is the old mining
camp of Leadville, cast 1893 votes
for repeal and 81 against.
DENVER, Sept. 13. U.P)- Colo
RADIO definitely joined the repeal
! parade today Complete returns
from four fifths of the state s 1,548
! precincts gave a wet majority of
! more than two to one.
The vote from 1889 precincts was:
| For repeal, 128,916.
Against repeal, 58,l58.
Precincts outstanding were from
scattered rural districts, expected
to give dry majorities, but leaving
no possibility of an upset. The re-
sui was made conclusive by heavy
wet majorities in every urban CEN
ter of the state.
! In Denver repeal had a margin
of nearly five to one. The final
vote in the 314 precincts stood at
55,363 for repeal and 1889 against.
Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Tri-

A cabinet meeting was called for

1t was asserted at the palace that
normal order was being restored in
the provinces and strikes were be-

were being granted increased wages.
There were no reports of dis

Apparently reliable reports said AM

Direct reports from Santiago, how
ever, diminished fears.
Complete order reigned in Ha-

Lives of Americans to Be Protected in All
 Parts of World
WASHINGTON. June 30

WASHINGTON, June 30. "A new and rugged state ment of the United States naval policy, laying emphasis on fleet efficiency to support national policies and national interests, has been made pub- lie by the Navy Department.
 The new document las been drafted to replace the one issued in 1881 following the London Arms Conference.
 The new statement assert ed that the fundamental pol icy is to maintain a navy of sufficient strength to support the national policies, con- merce and guard the contin- ental and overseas posses sions of the United States"
 This supplants the statement of a former policy which said: "The Navy should be maintained in suf- ficient strength to support the na- tional policies and commerce"
 Naval observers looked upon the new policy as reflecting the desire of President Roosevelt for a strong CT Navy.
 Protect Lives
 Among the new principles is ito protect American lives and prop erty"
 While this has been the policy of the Navy traditionally, this is the first time in the history of this country it has been SO stated.
 Navy officials explained the new statement of principles was the policy for future guidance and de- velopment of the fighting forces of the sea and the new principles did not necessarily mean action will be taken at once or within the next few years to achieve this de- velopment.

Canadian National Offic;pl Says Tourist Trend ilN' Wifi
 Be to North Then

While there is little reason to expect any large increase this year over the tourist traffic for 1892, the swing in 1884 should be upward so far as the northwest, including Alaska and British Col umbia, is concerned, said George A. McNichol, General Passenger Agent of the Canadian National Railways. He visited Juneau last night while the steamer Prince Rupert was in port and proceeded to Skagway on the same vessel. While here he visited the Alaska Museum, which always interests him, local stores catering to tour ist trade, left cards for Gov. Troy at the Mansion, and received a large number of local friends at the steamer.
 Tt would be foolish to expect any material betterment in our sum- mer business this year, MT. Mo Nichol said. "The Chicago expo sition not only is drawing thou sands of visitors who might be expected to come to the west for summer vacations, it is also re- suited in many conventions being held in nearby cities so that deie- gates to them could also visit the Fair. This has had an adverse effect upon our business this sea son.
 Next year the trend will be to the Pacific Coast and the North west. People will be glad to get away from the heat of the middle west and come to section where they can travel, in comfort. Con ventions will swing westward again. Economic conditions, now beginning to improve, probably will be much better in 1884 than now. All of these factors will com bine to revive the Alaska tourist traffic" he said.
 MT. McNichol will return to his in Vancouver on the Prince Rupert.

Head of Organized Tour. ists Tells of Plans for
 Reviving Traffic

It is the aim of organizations of which he heads to obtain un- limited stopovers from steamship companies covering the Alaska field, declared John A. Hooper, President of affiliated and incor- porated Tourist Societies, in an interview given The Empire to- day. He and Mrs. Hooper are on a world tour.
 He will confer with local inter ests, appear before local organiza- tions and discuss with them fully plans for building up real tourist traffic for Alaska.
 Both Mrs. Hooper and myself are delighted to again visit Juneau, and meet many old Alaskan and United States friends" MT. Hooper said. My short talk before the Chamber of Commerce Thursday prevented my outlining many ideas we tourists have regarding Alaskan travel, but, we are to meet with interested friends this evening, and also speak before the Juneau Busi- ness and Professional Women s Club next Tuesday evening when I hope to elaborate on what our tourists expect to do or aid in doing to bring back even more of our people to this scenic section.
 "The tourists ideas are not ex- actly the same as those who con- trol the tourists resorts, but we hope to have our wishes consumat- ed in a way that Alaska will have unlimited tourist stopovers, making possible summer tourists staying here for a week or for entire sum- mers. Climatic conditions and can- nery interests can be easily ad- justed or reconciled to the stop over" idea, and one need not clash with the other.
 Our proposal to make a low rate for those stop-over tourists is from May 10 to June 30, and from Sept. 1 to end of Summer schedules, with unlimited stop- overs, giving a lower rate for this than for the July and August boats.
 Juneau is not tourist-minded like many other communities who have suffered from lack of this travel in the past three or four years and are now luke-warm. They think the great tourist rush of some past years will never come back. But am certain it will, and our organization will do everything it can possibly do to bring back the great crowds that clamored to get up here. However, we must have boats when prosper ity comes back and better condi- tions shall prevail.
