The third visit of a portion of Uncle Sam's fighting navy to Ju- neau within week brought three destroyers, the U.SS. Dallas, the U.S.S. Long and the U.S.S. Was muth, to the government dock Sun day at 10 a. m., almost "A hours later than originally expected.
 The destroyer Dallas, carrying Capt. H. E. Rays, Commander of Destroyer Squadron IA, steamed away today at 10 a. m., exactly "A hours after arrival, for Sitka to refuel from the US.S. Langley navy airplane carrier stationed at the Southeast Alaska port.
 The remaining destroyers will stay here until Tuesday at 2 a.. m. when they will join the Dallas at Sitka, before the three destroy CTS return to the States.

 Out From San Diego
 The cruise was launched from the home port in San Diego, Cal, June "A. The Fourth of July was spent at Newport, Oregon, which port they left on July 6 for Port Angeles. On the afternoon of July 10 the three destroyers sailed for Bella Bella, B. O., arriving there the following night. They arrived in Ketchikan the night of July 12, from which port they headed for Humpback Bay, 72 miles from the first port.
 Dropping anchor there, the offi- cers and men of the destroyers en- gagged in bit of fancy salmon fish ing which was described by It. B. Connolly, executive officer of the destroyer Long, as the high point of the cruise" 8f9
 Locate Fishing Spot
 "The salmon were so thick at that place you had to push them away to catch trout by law. It's undoubtedly the greatest fishing spot in the world"
 It. Connolly, however, had a com- plaint about the board trail near the Humpback Bay site, declaring that it was so rought one of the of ficers who had caught five salmon, stumbled and suffered agony as he saw his days catch pumping down the mountain side. "Gobs of fish were caught, the largest being ap- proximately 20 pounds, he said.
 The destroyers left Ketchikan the night of July IS, spent the night at Wrangell Narrows and arrived in Skagway on July l6. They left Sat- urday at II p. m., went to Taku Glacier and arrived in the Capital City Sunday at 10 a. m.

 The explanation was soon made. The Baranof's whistle needed tun- ing, or valve grinding, or some such job, and the Alameda was called on for spare parts and her whistle was transferred to the Baranof.

ALASKA PUBLIC WORK PROJECTS
 WITHOUT FUNDS
Allotments Are Pending AL though Appropriation
 Bill Is Approved
By J. J. PICKLES
Secretary to Delegate plmona

Secretary to Delegate Dfmond
 WASHINGTON, July 10.-(Spec- ial Correspondence) Although the work relief appropriation bill carry ing funds not only for work relief but also for the Public Works Ad- ministration projects was passed and approved some days ago, up to the end of the week no allotments had actually been made for any Alaska public works projects. A consider able number of such projects, in- cluding Skagway municipal im- provements, Juneau library, An- chorage paving, Seward gymnasium, Douglas school building. Skagway school building, Fairbanks munich pal improvements, Territorial school buildings, Sitka sewer system, Uni versity of Alaska dormitory, and possibly one other, have been here tofore approved by the examining divisions of the PWA, and most if not all of them are eligible for al- lotments under the appropriation bill recently enacted. Nor have al- lotments been made for other pro- jects in the United States. for it is understood that all such projects are being held up awaiting the formula tion of some plan which will work fairly and equitably for all parts of the country.
 The appropriation made will not take care of all approved projects and therefore large number of them must be omitted. It is expected that within the next two weeks the plan will be agreed upon and allot- ments made. In view of the lan- guage of the bill it seems almost certain that a grant will be made to aid in the construction of pulp lie school building for the town of Douglas since the former school building at Douglas was destroyed by fire last winter.

FUND PLEA MADE
BYUN|0NM|SS|ON
Money Is Needed to Help
Wipe Out Debts of
Winter.

The Central Union Mission is ap-
pealing to the citizens Of Washington
for funds to enable it to carry on its
work Of feeding hungry men and car
ing for needy children Additional
money also is needed to help wipe out
some Of the debts incurred by the mis-
sion to enable it to help unfortunates
during the last Winter.
At least SIS 900 is needed, according
to Mrs. John S. Bennett, who is max
ing the appeal Mrs. Bennett has
been carrying on the work of the
mission during the illness since De-
cember Of Mr.. Bennett, the mission
superintendent.
The steady increase in the work Of
the mission Is emphasized by the ad-
ditional number Of persons aided each
year. Last month 3,737 free lodgings
were provided men in the dormitory, a
40 per cent increase in the number
provided with beds during February,
1896. A total of 9,5ss free meals were
served the men.
Children Care Increased.
.:E Likewise, 43 children were housed
and cared for in the Children's Emer-
gency Home during February, an in
crease Of 80 per cent in the number
over February Of last year. This
meant providing 3,<oo ft1aass b the
children during last month.
Mrs. Bennett hopes funds contrib
uted will be sufficient to wipe out all
debts Of the mission and feels that 1t
would prove real tonic to Mr.. Ben,
nett, Ill with a heart ailment, to know
that there were ample funds to take
care Of the missions needs.
Mrs. Bennett, in addition to her
regular work of supervising the Chill
dren's Emergency Home and other
duties, has been conducting the Sat-
urday night broadcasts from the mis-
sion. The broadcasts, over Station
VOL, feature the Missions Glee
Club, composed Of mission converts,
who specialize in the singing of gos-
pei hymns.
Tells of Benefits Illness.
In her appeal, Mrs. Bennett tells
VI Nl. ocuIlctt lllIlcSS anu LllS ne.
cessity Of him remaining quiet, add
ing
Il am trying to carry on for both
Of us, with the Children's Emergency
Home as usual and also with the mis-
sion and the Saturday night broad
casts, but need your help"
In pointing out the need OF money
to care for debts and carry on the
work, Mrs. Bennett said that any leg
acies left the mission automatically
go toward an endowment fund, from
which only interest Is drawn. Thus,
money recently left the mission in a
will will go toward such a fund when
received. This money, however, will
not even be available for the endow-
ment, Mrs. Bennett pointed out, for
some time. 1t was stipulated in con-
nection with the sum left, she said,
that the sum Of $4,000 must be added
to it from another source before the
mission can receive benefit from the
sum, even in endowment form.

- he had come to feel ne could
no longer love her. = Later on he
claimed that his affection for her died
in Japan. He wrote me letter to
that effect last Spring year ago"
Thinks Health Affected.
Judge Worth w. Trammell, who
signed the decree, asked Woodbridge
If he thought the situation had any
effect on her health, made her nerv-
GUS.
YES" Woodbridge testified, par
ticularly at that time in Japan.
This bronchial cold, am quite sure,
was the result of mental strain and
nervousness caused by the friction
of my father. which he made no
attempt to alleviate"
Woodbridge further said the situa-
ton was worse in Washington when
he saw them together in 1888 and
1884. When came to breakfast in
the morning there would be two pa
pers on each end Of the table. He did
not even want to share his papers In
the morning. He would leave her out
of the conversation as much as pos
sible, and If there was some point OF
difference he flared UP, saying, You
don't like the way do things"
Another son, Jonathan, the third
witness said in effect the same thing
As his brother. Mrs. Bingham sought
no alimony..
Bingham, i'll in Washington, did not
testify, but his attorneys read into the
record q general denial Of the mental
cruelty charges.

Peace On Earth, Good WiH ToMen Lacking
Land of Christs Birth Brooded Under Oppression of Strife, Bloodshed- -Ony Faithful Were Pray:
 ing in Holy Land Today

Bethlehem, Dec. 24-(U.P0--Two thousand years after the angels sang of peace on earth, good will to men, the land of Christ's birth brooded tonight under the oppres- sion of strife and bloodshed, and only the faithful remembered to pray to the Saviour that His precept may yet become true.
 Despite the terror of the inter- necine strife between Jews and Arabs which has torn the land asun- der, the crowds gathered as usual in the Church Of the Nativity to wor- ship at the traditional spot of the birth of the Prince of Peace.
 There were doubtless many who prayed for intercession to end the slaughter in Spain, in China, in the Holy Land itself, as well as the war like dissension In other parts Of the world.
 Ceremonies the Same
 The ceremonies and the midnight mass were the same as they have been for centuries. The only differ. ence was the absence Of the usual crowds of pilgrims from many lands The current upheaval kept them away. but the faithful of the Chris. tian sects of the Far East crowded the ancient church as usual to wor- ship.
 At noon today, the Latin patri' arch made his solemn entrance into the church. Large crowds, mostly inhabitants of Bethlehem and Jeru- salem, clad not very differently from the first Christmas 2,000 years ago. followed him from Jerusalem to Rachel's tomb, where they were met by Bethlehem's Latin community and conducted to the church.

shots have been fired and nearly 300 bombs, mostly homemade and iil- effective, have been thrown.
 The task of the soldiers and poe lice is extraordinarily difncult. The country Is rough and the natives unwilling to cooperate, because of possible terrorist reprisals.
 The terrorists operate In bands of 90 or less. Usually they dress in volulninous peasant clothing to con- ceai their weapons. They disperse into the villages or join workers in the field as "laborers" to conceal their identity.
 Active terrorists probably do not exceed more than few hundred at any given time. but daily attacks frighten the countryside. A British ofIicer describes it as "like swat ting mosquitoes"

 The tracking powers of the Doen- erinanns have brought many assas' sins before firing squads. :.
 Dogs have been known to leao authorities from the scene Of a crime into village houses. The dog places his paws on the man whose scent ne smells and barks thrice.
