ENGLAND IS NOW
COMING TO CLOSE
1'nder the above heading ihe New
York livening World recently published
tile following editorial:
A bundled years have passed since
British warships hung about Scotland
Bight. At the close o' September, 19M,
the observer on Navesink Highlands or
the bluffs at Hong Branch can see them
almost any day.
A considerable llolilhi of Herman
ships is now tied up In New York har
bor with no thought of going outward.
No German boats are engaged in com
merce in the Atlantic lanes, only Brit
ish vessels and ships of neutral nations
have the freedom of the seas. Last
Monday ttie liritish converted cruiser
Caronla stopped the Norwegian steamer
Kristianiafjord only two miles off Am
brose Lightship. The Camilla's olileers'
held the neutral bout an hour and a1
half while tliej investigated a harm- i
less middle-aged German musician
travelling with ids wife and three ehil- ]
dren. Tlie German was found to be
fifty years old, past the military age,
so the liritish did not take him off the
i
ship.
Just how fur must this sort of tiling
be caiTied and to what endAn Inoffen -
Hive German and his family seem pretty
poor prey for the Caronia, which lined
to be engaged in better business.
What is the use of it? This country
has taken a seruplously neutral stand
in the war Hut public opinion has
strongly favored the allien Why should
incoming ships of obviously neutral
character bo needlessly Interfered with?
Wily should passengers on vessels at
the very entrance of New York harbor
become objects of suspicion to be over
hauled and harrassed?

BRAVE DEED OF A
BRITISH BICYCLIST
Henri Floget. private in the 5th
French infantry regiment tells of how
a brave British cyclist saved hundreds
of French soldiers. Some French re
inforcements were marching along a
road right into an ambush, and tiie
task of warning them seemed well nigh
impossible. Ftoget explains how It was
done: “1 was in the trenches, wounded,
and behind me 1 heard m.v officers con
ferring as to what was to bo done. ‘We
must signal them' said one. A soldier
rose from the trenches and began flag
ging them, hut he fell. Another took
his place only to share the same fate.
The idea of signalling was abandoned.
Suddenly- from out of the trees where
an Englislt force lay hidden, dashed a
ligure in khaki on a bicycle. He went
down when he had only covered a few
yards. Another followed him and he
too went down. But a third carried on.
Riding at full speed across an inferno
of fire, with his head bent low over the
handle bars he reached the advancing
line of the French, untouched, and de
livered his message of warning The
French commander, look from his own
tunic a modal ho himself won for
bravery and pinned il on the British
cyclist's breast, ‘it was given to me'
he said 'for saving one life. 1 have tho
honor of presenting it to you for sav
ing the lives of hundreds.- "

ANTI-ALIEN LAW IS
PASSED IN PANAMA
PANAMA.—The national assembly
have passed a law which virtually
places in the hands of the president
power to expel all foreigners from Pa
nama.
The law declares that the president
may expel within twenty-four hours
any foreigner who has become obnox
ious. without giving him a trial. It
also prohibits foreigners from taking
part in politics and from writing ar
ticles against the political party in
power.
There Is much opposition to the law,
owins to its drastic provisions. It is
held in some circles that the law takes
away the powers of the courts and
confers them on the president.

NOTES
(From Our Exchanges.)
FAIRBANKS.—Every day sees a
number of men returning from the Tol
ovuna, and all report that while coming
lo Fairbanks anywhere from 50 to 100
men were met on tiie trail. The latest
arivals in Fairbanks from the Tolnvatia
district are O. J. Anderson and P. An
derson. who reached town last evening.
They report that they met fully 50
stampeders going to the new district,
and they also saw many homeward
bound. While in the Tolovana they
hoard many people declare that ex
cellent prospects had been located but
no one there claimed to have pay. so
far as they could learn.
George Wheeler reached town re
cently, and he declares that everything
is looking bright in the Tokivana. lie'
Is more optimistic than any otlvr of
the earlier stampeders. and feels cer
tain that big money will tie taken out
there this winter.
The shortage in the Cordova post -
offline funds, which occurred during the
administration of Postmaster dos.
Diggs, amounting to about $4,500. has
been recovered by the government, a
sum of money amounting to about
$4,000 having been turned over to the
Fnited States marshal by A. I Adams.
William Little, one of the bondsmen
for Postmaster Diggs, recently the loss
by tire of ;i hotH and saloon at La
touche. Tiie property was insured
through Mr Adams fur $5,500 After
the adjustment of the loss Mr. Little
had coming from the insurance comp
any about $4,000 which sum was at
tached by the government to cover tin* I
shortage, and upon payment of thttl
amount by the company It was Irnmed I
latch turned over to the marshal, and
will eventually he turned In to the de
partment.
Very much to the point is the letter
from T C Conover, of Seattle, pub
lished in the New York Sun. which on
October S said editorially “Every
man is entitled to hts day in court ex
cept the automobile driver accused of
speeding.” Tn reply Mr Conover says
in tlie Sun: "Don't overlook the red
blooded American citizen who under
I went incredible hardships, toll ami
privations before discovering the Alas
ka coal fields, who paid the government
$323,000 purchase money, who have
spent approximately $2,000,000 in de
velopment. who can neither get title
nor money hack, and to whom an ap
peal in the courts is denied from an
I arbitrary ruling of the Interior depart
ment They have prayed congress to
grant them their day in court, and it
has been refused These poor devils
who have risked their lives and their
last dollar have been the victims of
experimental legislation induced by
the theory of conversation ns prac
ticed." Many crimes have been com
mitted in the name of patriotism and
fair play. The government's treat
ment of Alaskans is the most heinous
of them all.
Sam Bonnifield, former president of
the First National Bank of Fairbanks,
who was adjudged insane several years
ago and sent to a private asylum ill
Portland, has written friends here that
lie has recovered and has been dis
charged front the asylum He writes
that lie may come north again, as his
health is hotter than it has been for
years. As organizer and presidonl of
the bank, Bonnifield was reputed to
be worth nearly a quarter of a million
dollars, but when his affairs were
wound up the statement was given out
that fnost of the fortune had disap
peared, leaving only a few thousands.
Bonnifield has many friends in Alaska
Who will be pleased to know that he
has recovered.
Fairbanks.—That conditions on
Happy creek are very promising, and
that the mining men there feel that
they have hit upon a good paystreak
is the statement made recently by C. J.
Strauss, who is in town on business.
He states that John Fahy. who first
Struck pay a few weeks ago, is in dirt
now that looks even better than when
ho reached bedrock.
Fahy has drifted about fifty feet
from the shaft, and the dirt pans an
average of eight cents.
Strauss. Cosgrove and I.etendro are
working on Happy creek, about 700
feot abavo Fahy and they have struck
equally good dirt. A new outfit is
expected to start work there within
a few days, and the men think that be
fore the winter is over there will bo
