NEWS NOTES,
The last mail received at Seward
from the States was that brought |
here by the Admiral Farragut, ar
riving October 27th, thus making it
two weeks without a mail bi at from
the east.
The court met this morning and
immediately adjourned til! Lvn'i-* w
morning at 10 o'clock, awai*»ng the
arrival of the Admiral Evum.
A party composed of Mr. and Mr*.
Erich Lucas, Neil Sexton and Walter
Farmer spent the week end at the
Bungalow, Mile Seven. They report
fair success in the game line.
The law reducing the crime of sell
ing whiskey to natives from a felony
to a misdemeanor, and the law gov
erning education in the Territory,
both passed by the Territorial legis
lature. have been declared null and
void. It is interesting to note in con
nection w ith the fact that the lirst
legislaure refused to pass those bills
when asked to do so as it believed its
days that they worked there.
The report of a strike on Lewis riv
er came some time ago but not much
attention was paid to it just then ami
very little has been heard about it
since. If the report contained in the
above cable is correct it shows the
ground must be pretty rich.
powers did not go so tar. L. \. Ray,
president of the first senate, says
several prominent lawyers wanted the
laws passed but the latest develop
ments show that the legislature was
right.
The steam engine which left this
morning in place of the gasoline car t
was reported to have arrived at Mile
20 this morning in fine shape. She
had a load of bridge material for re
pair work at Mile 21, which forms
the terminus of her days run.
Mr. and Mrs. W. Ellis were the
host and hostess at a surprise fare
well dinner party given at their home
in honor of Aron Ericson, who is
about to leave for his new headquart
ers at Anchorage. The guests, num- j
bering fourteen ate a sumptuous six j
course dinner prepared at the Ellis j
home by the chef of the Seward Grill.
A toast was given, to which Mr.
Ericson hear til > responded. After
spending a delightful evening the
party broke up.

GREECE HAS TROUBLES
LONDON, Nov. 8.—That Greece is having serious
internal troubles is now made evident by the advices com
ing from Athens. All hope is abandoned that she will j
enter the war immediately but the Allied nations are,
promised her moral support. Athens seems to think that’
the throne is endangered unless the army is thrown'
actively on the side of the Allies as the majority of the
people feel that the king is betraying the nation through;
his family connections with the Hohenzollerns. The new
Greek Council, headed by M. Sconiloudis, is already show
ing signs of collapse. M. Michelidiz who was selected as!
a member of the Cabinet as minister of public instruc
tion has refused the portfolio. The remainder are com
posed of the former cabinet with the exception of Zaimas
who is said to fear the power of Venizelos and desires not;
to be his puppet. Greece is apparently on the verge of anj
internecine struggle unless the influence of the German
royal family is removed from King Constantine.
BEAT LIGHT BRIGADE CHARGE
BALTIMORE, Nov. 8.—In a private letter to a friend
here from a regimental captain of the famous British
regiment known as the Black Watch it is stated that^ in
the recent allied offensive the slaughter was awful. The
writer’s own regiment was engaged in a charge which,
he says, was infinitely worse than the charge of the Light
Brigade at Balaclava. Of four thousand British soldiers
who charged the German trenches at that point only five
hundred returned. He declares that the British charged
right up into the earthworks and that when retreat be
came necessary the trenches were literally choked with
the German dead and with some of the British dead. His
regiment freed a strong entrenched position from which
the fire was withering and most of the Black Watch ha I
fallen before half the distance was traversed.
SITUATION UNCHANGED
PARIS. Nov. 8—It is officially announced that the
situation is unchanged on the Franco-German front and
that it is quiet on the Serbian front. ______
FREIGHTER CORDOVA
COMES FOR ANCHOR
The freighter Cordova, after hav
ing lost lost one of her anchors at
EUamar and the other at Ninilchik j
last Saturday afternoon, arrived in
port yesterday morning about seven
o’clock to take an anchor from the
I freighter Latouche before proceeding
on to Anchorage. While the Cordova
! was anchored at Ninilchik unloading
freight a storm arose and in raising
the anchor, it dropped off and was
lost. As it is dangerous navigating
on the Inlet without an anchor, es
pecially when there are snow storms
as at present, she wired Seattle tell
ing of her plight and proceeded to
Seward to await orders. Meanwhile
the Latouche, which left Seward
Saturday afternoon on her way to
Seattle, was recalled and returned to
the dock at 6 o’clock in the evening,
j Between five and six last night orders
j were received from the Seattle office
directing the Latouche to leave one
of her anchors for the Cordova.
The Latouche, Capt. Davis, sailed
for the south last night at 8:45 while
the Cordova, Capt. Flynn, sailed for
Anchorage about 11 o’clock. The Al
aska Steamship Company has an old
anchor at Anchorage which the Cor
dova will get on her arrival at that
place. The Cordova is loaded to the
guards with freight for Anchorage.
