FRENCH PLAN FUR REDUCTION APARTMENTS
 DEFEATED BY LEAGUE

GENEVA, Feb 7, The French plan for reduction of armaments was defeated by the League of Ma tions disarmament commission.
 The British gave the final dis senting vote, the speech of their delegate, Captain Anthony Eden, definitely making it certain the commission never would approve the French proposals.
 The French demanded security guarantees and an international body tc control arms traffic and debts. Both the Italian and Ger many delegates had attacked 1t and only one delegate, Edouard Benes, of Czecho-Slovakia, gave the French approval.
 The lack of unity on this pro- gram was taken as new evidence the conference to limit armamentS would continue to delay it as it has in the past years, finding it futile to reach a practical program 1 for arms-cutS.
 Delegates said the conference faced the possibility of re-armeo Germany if disarmament was not soon realized.

Gateway's Stand on
 Tie Deal is Endorsed
 by Seward Chamber
Editor, Seward Gateway:

Editor, Seward Gateway:
 At tLe regular meeting of the Seward Cham ber of Commerce, February T. 1883, were by unanimous vote instructed to express to you our appreciation and approval of your editorial of Feb ruary6.
 The editorial entitled Something For Alaska To Remember certainly hits the spot
 Executive Committee Chamber of Commerce
 Our experience in life has taught us that when ever it becomes necessary for anyone to have to re- sort to false statements aibl, their case not only is weak but usually entirely false and wrong, to put it mildly.
 In this case the statement is made that the cost of cross-es is 86 cents per tie in Seatto creosoted
 We are reliably informed that the contract IS for green ties at S10 per thousand board feet and s135O per thousand for creosotng, making a total of S235O per thousand board feet and 26 ties to the thousand feet.
 The statement is also made that the Alaska Railroad is going to haul these ties in their own vessel fl om Seattle here. The only vessels we know of that the Alaska Railroad owns are the stern wheel river steamers the Tanana and Yukon, and we are sure they cannot send them to Seattle to haul ties
 We are also informed that attempts have been made to secure the services of the Bureau of Indian Affairs new $500 OOO M S. North Star to haul these ties but when the Bureau learned that these ties were creosoted they refused to permit the use ot this boat as it would make the North Star unfit for carrying food supplies to native institutions
 At the special rate the Alaska Railroad has on lumber from the regular steamboat lines plying, up here the ties would cost 8 per thousand board feet more besides insurance and wharf costs, making these ties at least 20 per cent higher than the cost of local ties.
 As to the statement of disastrous experience with local her1lock ties. Col. Otto F. Ohlsons own letter of July 16, 1881 answers that fully.
 We challenge MT. Nettleton of the Seattle lun- ber concern to quote one single accident on the AL aska Railroad directly or indirectly caused by na- tive henolccf ties.
 In passing, we might further refer to the Cop per River & Northwestern Railway which, aIter th1rough ;nyestlgation uses only native hewn ties on their road notwithstanding that that road in the past has been Highly profitable for it's owners and that they own and operate the leading steamship line to Alaska
