with work making uniforms for the
Nationalist volunteers, Who are pre
paring for the revofhtioh, by whfch
they hope to prevent home rule from

The committee on arrangements of
LONDON, July 7.—The House of
Lords last evening passed the Irish
home rule bill upon second reading
and it will now come up for its final
reading. The government is prepar
ing for the conflict sure to follow
upon the first attempt to enforce the
provisions of the bill, but the gov

refuse to. fight the people of Ireland,
but the secretary of war is confident
that most of his forces will remain
loyal and obey orders.
THE TUG OF WAR
LUSTS TWO HOURS
Nine Men Pull Against Ten and Are
Outpulled, But They Make the Oth
er Ten Pull Some.
For two hours and seven minutes
the team of nine big huskies organ
ized by Fred Berg held the ten men
organized by William Gelineau to
pull against them, but numbers in
the end counted and they slowly gave
way until the ribbon crawled over the
line and they lost the contest.
It is doubtful if such another team
of men could be organized in Alas
ka and. certainly not in this section
as held the Gellneauites down for
more than two hours. Big and strong
and with a determination to win they
pulled and pulled against greater
numbers and at the start gained six
inches before they slowly began to
lose ground and then slowly, and
steadily the other team gained.
The nine-man team consisted of
Chris Nelson as anchorman, Chris
Anderson, Andrew Markensen,, Ed!
Spearsted, O. Franzen, O. H; Jolhn
son, J. F. Schultz, Chris jAatsoti and
Red Radtersen.
The ten-man team consisted of F.

C. J. Curry, (jfeorge Francis, R. l4c

The purse was for $100 and the by

Court of Appeals At Victoria Decides
Against Their Admission In
to Canada.
VICTORIA, July 7.—The Court of
Appeals today decided that under the
laws of the Dominion of Canada that
Hindus are not allowed to land on
Canadian soil. The attorneys for the
Hindus, who are being held upon the
Japanese steamer at Vancouver, had
applied for the release of i the men,
but the court unanimously'held that
they were n'ot to be allowed to enter.
The decision meets with popular
approval, but the representatives of
the home secretary of BngMhd will
take the case to the higher courts,
as it is feared that the barring of

sociation That Valdez Will Be
the Terminus.
Judge Hubbarji has written to the
Valdez Commercial Association that
he has just returned to Chicago after
a trip to Washington, D. C„ where
he went to present the claims of
Valdez as the terminus of the gov
ernment railroad, that he feels very
much. encouraged with the outlook
and does not think it possible for the
government to do anything else but
construct the trunk line from Valdez
to Fairbanks.
He further s&'ya'. “While I ant en
tirely sanguine that the outcome Is
going to be what we desire with ref
erence to the location of the railroad,
at the same time I have thought it
advisable not to leave any stone un
turned to bring about the result. I
shall continue to work industriously
along this line until the announce
ment is finally made that Valdez has
secured thA railroad tb Fairbanks."
Mr. Hubbard filed with the Secre
tary of the' interior a lettef setting
out in a’ very convincing way the real
advantages of the' VAldei route1 and
accbm'pUhied the sarnie with a diagram
map, showing conclusively that the
known resources of the Interior of
Abasia are all north and east of Val
dez, and that a railroad from here is
absolutely necessary to carry dtart the'
intent of congress when they pro
vided for a railroad that “would best,
aid in the development of the min
eral and' agttcUTtural or other re
sources of AllaSka."

OREGON HOLDUPS
Were In the Game Because It Was
Romantic—Had Big Caches of
Valuable;
HILLGAKD, Ore., July 7—Albert
Meadors and Clarence Stoner, two
Wyoming sheepherders, were arrest
ed here today by the police and con
fessed to being the two bandits who
escaped from the Oregon Express af
ter Deputy Sheriff McDutfey shot and
killed Charles Manning, one of the
trio of train robbers.
The men led the officers to the
many caches they had made of loot
secured upon different holdups and
watches, jewelry and money worth
$20,000 was recovered and will be
turned over to the owners as fast as -
they can be identified.
Charles Manning, the dead bandil,
leaves a wife and four small children
and was inspired to go into the train
robbing business through close asso
ciation with Hugh Whitney, a notor
ious desperado, who told him of the
many escapades and successful rob
beries he had participated in. All
the men had more money than they
would have used in the next ten
years under their present methods of
living. They were in the game most
ly for the romance of it and the sat -
isfaction of beating the officers of
the law.
