FROM TUESDAY’S DAILY
NOTED SENATOR
VISITS KETCHIKAN
Unite*! States Senator Benjamin
R. Tillman, of South Carolina, he of
“ Pitchfork ” fame, was a Ketchikan
visitor while the Princess Sophia
was in port last night. Senator Til
man, who is accompanied by his wife
and daughter, Miss Sally JTillman, is
on a trip which he describes as cir
cumnavigating the United States.
He left New York early last month
by steamer and passed through the
Panama Ganal, disembarking to visit
the two California expositions. On
account of the glowing descriptions
of the inside passage trip as paint
ed by a son who was connected last
year with the railroad survey, the
party decided tq extend their travels
to include Alaska, and will return
east over the Grand Trunk Pacific
railroad, thus patsing all the way
around the country. Senator Till
man is chairman of the Senate com
mittee of naval affairs, and Is great
ly interested in matters Alaskan.

The freighter Para iso of the
Pacific Coast fleet is looked fot
from the north this evening.
Reeent arrivals from Puget Sound
state that the run of salmon in that
region promises to be a light one.
While this is unfortunate for the
southern packers it is good news
for Alaska fish men, as it means
that the price of salmon will prob
ably be good this year.

The fishing steamer San Juan was
in port this morning and took on
15,000 pounds of frozen herring for
bait at the Ketchikan Cold Stor
age company. She later left for
the halibut banks.
The schooner Annie took on six
tons of ice at the Ketchikan Cold
Storage and will try her luck afish
ing.
-♦
After a rather slow trip up, the
Mariposa made port about three o’
clock this afternoon, with a big
erowd of passengers on board. As
she is several days behind her
schedule owing to the accident she
she had on her last trip, the steamer
will not go to Knik this trip, am!
will not call in at any of the south
eastern ports, but will go to Seattle
direct via the outside passage.
LIGHTNING WAS BAD
Ed. WiliKni an i party who re
cently returned from a trip aro.ind
the island, report that the tliun-lci
and lightn.ug experienced in this
region last Tuesday was very severe
where they were. Two tret's wer.
struck by the lighmiig. and it was
only the fact that it was raining :.t
the lime that prevented bad fires
living started The trippers had a
most deligntful time in spite of
the storm.

Berlin, July 27—With hardly a I
dissenting voice, the papers of Ger
many urge ,he government to dis
regard the American note and con
tinue the same plan of submarine
warfare agaia3t the ships of hostile
nations as that practiced in the
past. Several of them point out
that the refusal of tbe_ United States
to discuss with Germany England’s
breaches of international law is
elearly a manifestation of the fact
so long contended by the Teutonic
press, that the United States is
elearly pro-Ally and opposed to Ger
many and her friends. The German
government itself has had nothing
to say, but the fact that so many of
the papers have taken the attitude
and jtosition they have, makes it
appear they are giving the govern
ment side of the ease, especially as
their utterances have all been cen
sored before publication. The re
sumption of submarine warfare dur
ing the past three of four days would
indicate that the German govern
ment has made no material change
in its plans, and it looks as though
it is only a matter of a short time
nntii some otter steamer loaded
with passengers i= sent to the bot
tom.

Seattle, July 27—There seems
to be a general mixing up of the
sailing dates of the steamers bn the

night. The Admiral Evans has been
postponed until Thursday night, and
the Northwestern will not get a

-.-aimed salmon, that is as far as
Alaska canneries are concerned.
They received a shipment of card
board on a reeent boat, which they

believed that the salmon will stand
handling better with the addition
if the cardboard, hence the experi
ment.
Chicago, July 27—Secretary Bed
field of the Department of Com
merce arrived in this city last night,
and this morning the investigation
of the capsizing of the steamer
Eastland was begun. Practically
every member of the crew has been
ordered to appear before the Investi
gating board, and the first point
that will be established will be
whether or not the regulations of
the customs house had been com
plied with. It is understood that
Secretary RedfielJ will attend the
investigation proceedings in person.
The total number of dead bodies thus
brought ashore amount to slightly
under nine hundred. Captain Peder
sen insists that the entire blame rests
with the passengers themselves, who
in spite of his warnings and the at
tempts of his crew, rushed over to
the steamer's side to wave good
by to those on the wharf they were
leaving. It ippears that the East
land had no filed ballast, but used
water in tanks. This was pumped
out whener-’r the vessel entered a
shallow harbor as are some of those
alongthe lakes and the probabilities
are the tanks were empty when sin
left the wharf on the fatal trio
last SaturdaV. Whether they were
or not will probably be established
bv the investigation. Plans for rais
ing the Eastland, which blocks the
••hannel. have been completed, anl
the work on same began this morn

London July, 27—It looks as though
the Austro-Germans had dropped
the offensive all the way along the
front with the exception of the
salient north of Warsaw. There
some of the bloodiest fighting thus
far in the present terrible war is oc
eurring. Hand-to-hand fighting has
been waged steadily, and vonllindcn
berg is massing tremenduous num
liers of heavy guns to smash the
Russian defense. It seems almost
a fore-gone conclnsion that Germany
will capture the old Polish capital,
and military authorities here ceem
to think that the Russian Grand
Duke is running too great a risk of
capture in remaining at Warsaw as
long us he has.

FROM TUESDAY’S DAILY
JUNE WAS AMBRIOA’S
GREATEST COPPER MONTH
The month of June surpassed all
previous records in the matter of
copper sales. It is estimated in the
trade that contracts involving over
200,000,000 pounds of copper wore
entered into during that month, a
very large portion of which was sold
at or bettor than 20 cents.
One of the largest producers says
that stocks of copper at refinery
points are still very low and that
production by no means is up to
capacity, although, of course, the out
put is increasing every month now
that smelter material is arriving in
larger quantities. The bulk of the
heavy copper business in June was
for account of American manufac
turers having war orders in hand.

Chicago, July 28—The papers of
this city are making repeated demands
that Governor Dunne call a special
meeting of the legislature to investi
gate the seaworthiness of the steamers
in the passenger buisness on the Great
Lakes which may be registered in
the state of Illinois. They call atten
tion to the fact that the government
makes certain requirements as far as
number of cretv, fire protection^ life
protectors and lifeboats, etc., are con
cerned, but makes none covering un
senwortiiiness such as enused the ter
rible loss of life in the Chicago river
last Saturday. To remedy this the
papers demand that a law be enacto 1
creating a board to pass on the stabil
ity under weather of ships now in ex
istence and to examine and pass on
plans and specifications for new ves
sels. There is every reason to believe
that such legislation will be created.
Chicago, July 28—It is understood
that no fewer than eight separate in
vestigations are in progress or being
contemplated looking into the invest
gation of the sinking of the Eastland.
Berlin, July 28—The general impres
sion in this city is that the German
forces closing in on Warsaw have the
entire Russian army trapped and at
its mercy. Already plans are said to
be in the making to declare Poland
an independent country as soon as
Warsaw is in the hands of the Ger
mans. The German, government is of
the opinion that Poland would thus
act as a buffer state between Ger
many and Russia and thus hold the
Slavs in check.

Udine, July 28—Word arrives from
the front that General Cantore. one
of the leaders of the Italian troops on
ihc Izonzo front, was killed during
an attack recently. The particulars
of his death are lacking, but it is be
lieved that he was killed while enter
ing the trenches prior to starting his
troops against the Austrian line.

London. July 28—The attempt or
the Teutonic allies to envelops the
Russian forces defending Warsaw and
the Polish line in general has been
brought to a standstill, and 1 l fact i->
being pressed slowly back in places.
It looks as though the German tide
has reached its limit and from now
on the tendency will bo backward.
From this it most not be inferred, that
the Russians are making any spectac
ular gains, rather they are holding
their own everywhere, with small
gains reported in a few places. These
latter gains arc not to be measure.i
by miles, but rather by yards and
feet. But the great thing is that
the huge, apparently-irreslstalde t.er
man save has reached its limit, and
the Russian, despised by the German,
poorly armed, poorly officered, lgnor
ant and down-trodden to often, is
able to stem - the tide, and having
done so to hurl the invaders back
This news is welcome to the world
for it means that Germany has shot
her bolt, and probably front now on
will be on the decline.

Power House, up the crock, rgeistcred
i*l degrees in tho shade. This is of
course considerable warmer than it

The power vessel Senator, .former

nery, was in port this morning.
Reports from Mctlakalitla arc to
the effect that “Father” Duncan and
Commissioner of Education Claxton

much to the future of that place. It ap
pears that Mr. Duncan at first abso
lutely refused to have nnvt’i ng to
do with Dr. Claxton. going into his
house and refusing to confer with
him in any way, but later, changed his
mind and met the Government’s rep
resentative, but refused to recognize
his credentials, and charging that the
government could not conduct the
school there as well as he could. The
upshot of the whole affair this paper
is informed was that Dr. Claxton in
formed the natives that the Govern
ment had decided to take over the
wharf, cannery, mill, town buildings,
store building, and all other public
improvements, to be conducted under
governmental direction for the bene
fit of the natives. If this is true, it
means that Mr. Duncan will have no
interest in the community outside the
stock in the Rtore and his own per
sonal belongings.
