IT'S PROBABLY THE POINT OF VIEW

May 12 is to be gala day in the history of the British Empire With all the pomp and ceremony which has grown in tradition throughout the cen tries and the rule of kings George VI will be crowned King of Great Britain and Emperor of India. Te those of us on this side of the water whose fore fathers fought to get away from such sort of rule it takes on the sembance of carnival day or the circus parades we used to witness years ago wher P T. Barnum came to town
 News accounts tell of the almost priceless robes jewels gded coaches and accessories which will be cn display on this greatest all days for Engshmen Of the millions who will spend millions to be on the sidelines to witness the gigantic parade; in fact England on parade It is gala day indeed.
 How different from the simple inauguration ceremony which attends the inauguration of PreSi dents the only ceremony we boast in this country which comparable. We think little of the ceremony itself, Our thought nation is more on what the being inauguraed is going to do after he takes ever the helm. We realistic people. We place no human pedestal from which he cannot be deposed at the will of the people Is that not perhaps the reason why the rank and file of the American people have better existence than any great mass of people on earth?
 We like our show and our tribute to the winner but we pay more attention to seeing that every ont of citizens has opportunity for decent living This is not by way of criticism that England witt her Crown and Royal ceremonies does not attemp to better the lot of most of her people. But old fashioned American can't help but think how much good just small part of the money being spent or the British coronation would do used in rehabitat ing some of those starving Welsh miners heal about at intervals when royalty visits them.

Horoscope 'The stars incline
 but do no. compel"
THURSDAY, APRIL 15 1887

THURSDAY, APRIL Is 1887
 Kindly stars appear to dominate in the horoscope for today, accord ing to astrology, although adverse influences are active.
 Under this planetary government men in authorNy are likely to enjoy their positions and exercise undue force in demonstrating their power over human destiny.
 Saturn is in a place of evil omen that menaces labor and seems to foreshadow serious contests in which workers may be too aggressive in demands.
 Persons who are tempted to spec ulate in real estate should be care ful in selecting land. Misrepresen- tation and crooked deals may be numerous under this sway.
 Women are well directed by the stars today and should succeed in their philanthropic efforts. Their clubs are to gain great influence and their leaders will attain wide respect.
 This should be lucky wedding day, although there may be long effort to obtain wealth. Love, how ever, will outlast the tests of pro- lCnged economy.
 Theatres will prosper all through the summer, for there will be a great desire for amusement. Mo- tion pictures are to become truly works of art as they develop under marvellous new inventions.
 Extreme heat may be expected through the coming summer. Re- sorts will profit and the demsnd for country homes will increase.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of new friendships which may be perilous for those who indulge in flirtations
 Children born on this day prob ably will be great lovers of beauty Subjects of this sign usually are lei artistic nature. Many possess unusual talents.
 Bliss Carman, poet and journalist, was born on this day 1861 Others who have celebrated it as birthday includa John Lathrop Motley, his- torian, 1914; Henry James, novelist, l843.

UNDERCOVER INTERVENTION

There appears at times to be sufficient evidence to justify the belief that We watching the international prelimnaries before the main bout. Accredited reports from those watching the socaled Civil War in Spain would indicate that the Spanish warriors have been relegaed to secondary position in the present conflict and that actually powerful nations testing their equipment under the cstensible banner of Civil War in Spain
 A short time ago Mussolini openly sent troops into Spain. some pretext or another, to aid the Insurgent forces Of course they merely Italians fighting for reputed Spanish cause, but they were actually from Mussoni's legions. In recent gagement, they routed. Remarkable, if not sur prising. revelation during the encounter that they found themselves being defeated by Russian tanks equipped with German guns in the hands of Spanish Loyalists This in the face of the often avoWed declaration of a hands off policy in Spain emanatjng from virtually every nation in Europe
 What the outcome may be- probably no person can tell. Certain it is that those who playing in the Spanish fire cannot predict the result if they continue the present undercover intervention It was lesser incident than the foregoing which pre- cipitated the World War

committee each day which meets in the afternoon after legislative ses- sions held in the morning. Under the bicameral, members served on as many as four committees meet ing at the same time Legislative sessions lasted all day and the com mittees sat in the afternoon or at night
 3.-Under the unicameral plan time for deliberation is provided by rules which force a delay between the committee of the whole, select file and third reading. Bills could be introduced and passed the same day during bicameral sessions.
 Defects
 Among the minor defects which observers say have cropped up in the unicameral are:
 Failure to give the important enrolment and review committee a definite meeting time This has caused long delay between com mittee of the whole action and fi- nal passage because the committee is unable to complete the necessary work.
 2.-The present committee setur has piled too much work on too few men and needs some revision.

 The only tangible evidence so far found is that a skiff was stolen from the beach north of town some time during the night that krause escaped.
 The reward of S1,00o offered by the Governor, is for Krause dead or alive.
 Prisoners in the same tank with IKrause were questioned but noth- ling had been gained of how the es- Icaped man sawed his cell bars. | Harry A. Bishop, United States Marshal, resigned, and J. M.

 Seppala, with his Siberian wolf hounds, won the All-AlaSka Sweep stakes race at Nome.
 The University of Washington crew rowers won the big coast in tercollegiate race at Oakland, de- feating Stanford University and the ] University of California. 1 N. c. Hardy, of Skagway, train master of the White Pass and Yu- kon Route, was visiting in Juneau l. for few days.
 Since Krause had escaped from the Federal jail, it had not been necessary to ring the curfeW at Douglas to get the children off the streets at night.
 The Juneau City Council special meeting the previous night was as peaceful as a pack of strange bull dogs in a blind alley. Mayor Val enline said the meeting was illegal. It was called for the purpose of electing city officers. Every motion put for such purpose was over ruled.E Finally MT. King nominat- ed Gunnar Blomgren to preside ana he was unanimously chosen, and with Valentine looking on, the fol- lowing officers for the city were elected: E. w.
