the survivors, the German vessel
attempted to approach the Alcan
tara under the pretense of being
a Norwegian ship- The raider^lew
the hag of Norway but, owing to
certain false appearing moves, the
officers of the British vessel be
came alarmed and attempted to
nove away. The Grieff then
hoisted the German colors aud
>pened fire. The British replied
and a sharp encounter took place
.vhicli finally resulted in the
Grieff being sunk by cannon fire,
several shells from the German
truck the Alcantara, killing a
number of the crew, and shatter
ing a portion of the upper works.
The vessel was otherwise undam
ged, however, and would proba
bly have escaped had not the of
'cers incautiously approached the
-inking raider, which, as she went
to the bottom, launched a tArpe
lo which struck the Alcantara
imidships and sent her down
hortlv after her antagonist had
'isappeared from view. By this
dme several other vessels were
in the vicinity and these picked
ip the survivors of both ships.
Out of the total crew of three
’undred men of the Griffe, one
hundred and twenty were taken
'prisoners. Seventy four of the
crew of the Alcantara were killed
n the action or were drowned
hen the vessel sank. The sur
vivors, forty six in all were picked

chamber assumes the view that
he fuel question is one of the
most vital of the many on which
hat body is engaged owing to
being so closely associated with
he future development of the ter
ritory. This view has become
specially strong, in the minds of
the members since the delivery of
he report of the committee on

port that mining development is

[ Ruby, Leonard Seppala, winner
of the annual dog racing classic
of that sectipn, the Ruby Derby,
returned tp towrt last night after
being on the trail for eight days
since leaving the inland city.
Seppala not only won the race
.n easy fashion but also knocked
eight mintues and thirty one sec
onds from the existing record
over the fifty eight mile course
from Ruby to Long City and re
turn.
According to the Ruby Record,
a copy of which Mr. Seppaia
^rougnt back, trie earner recoru
»vas 5:34:49, mac.e by Joe Jean in
.\pril, 1913. Seppala's time was
5:25:18- 1 lie paper states mat
oeppala had the race all his own
>vay from start to finish and
wrought his team home fresh and
willing. Seppala says that the
acing conditions are very dis
similar to those obtaining in this
.ection and the course was diffi
.uit owing to being a wagon roau,
.ough and much plowed up by
passing teams and in every wa^
different from the hard smooth
..ails of the coast. there are
.nso three long hills on the course
with climbs of something like
ive or six miles. There were fivt
entries in the race, two of whom
were natives. Ihe teams aver
ged eight dogs, the smallest be-i
ng composed of seven dogs, the
argest ten, Seppala himself drove
eleven. By some singular cir
cumstance Seppala was the only
white man in the money, botfi
second and thirty places being!
taken by the native entries. The!
Lamont team, which was spoken
of so highly in the letter received
here from the Ruby Kennel Club
.his winter, was not in the run
ning at all. Seppala says that the
earn is a good one, however, but
he does not think it would have
nuch chance with the swift ones
iown here. The trip of the fa
mous Nome musher was excellent
all the way to Ruby and return,
not a storm along entire course
anti! yesterday when he run into
a light blow about four miles
wide. Seppala speaks in glowing
erms of his reception at Ruby
and say that it is a fine, lively
I town and is fulll of clean sports
men. Dog racing, he says, is in
great favor and there was all
kinds of money flying around
while the contest was on. On his
arrival the Kennel Club and a
majNrity of the citizens turned
>ut to five him welcome and he
n-?c ?-cC greeted with great en
thusiasm all along the route.
