JAP TORPEDO SUNK
TOKIO, Nov. 11.—It is officially announced that the
Japanese torpedo boat Thirty Three has been sunk by a
mine at the mouth of Kiauchau bay while engaged in the
work of dragging for mines. The majority of the crew
were saved but quite a few lost their lives. It has been
made evident since the fall of the fortress that the Ger
mans had made most elaborate preparations in case the
Japanese ships were careless or reckless enough to at
tempt to enter the harbor.
STARVING IN ANTWERP
AMSTERDAM. Nov. 11.—Dutchmen returning from
Antwerp report the most awful suffering in that city.
Thousands of people are said to be literally starving. The
depots of the American relief commission are besieged
from early morning until after midnight by thousands
of people who are suffering intensely the pangs of hunger.
Multitudes of all sorts of people crowd the streets and
squares in front of the depots waiting for a chance to se
cure something to eat which a few weeks ago would have
been regarded by them as the coarsest sort of fare.
PREPARE FOR BATTLE
PETROGRAD, Nov. 11.—Nothing particularly new
came from the seat of war yesterday in Russian Poland
and the official intelligence this morning says no more
than that the two opposing armies are now facing each
other and preparing for the coming battle which cannot
be very much longer postponed. The fighting recently in
East Prussia has been rather in the nature of advance
guard engagements and nothing decisive has been re
corded. Th Russian generals are expected here to wait un
til large bodies of troops which are now marching to the
front reach the positions where they will make their stand.
AMERICAN SHIP TAKEN
MANILA.—The American ship. Pasig, reported as a
British prize of war in Hongkong was last heard from at
Guam, and rumor at Manila, her home port, holds that the
vessel was enroute for German New Guinea. With a car
go of 4600 tons of coal, the Pasig entered Manila harbor,
after an uneventful voyage from Karatzu, a Japanese
port. Two days later the vessel cleared for southern Phil
ippine ports ostensibly to discharge a part of her cargo.
She was next heard from at Guam, August 19, and the
story was circulated in Manila that the vessel was headed
for German New Guinea where a large German cruiser
was lying helpless for lack of coal.
The Pasig is registered under the American flag and
is owned by Madrigal & Co., a Manila concern engaged in
the coal shipping business and holding contracts to supply
the insular government with that commodity. The vessel
registers 2,091 tons, and is commanded by Captain Ageo,
a Spanish skipper of many years’ experience in far east
ern waters.
POLITICAL NOTES
K. J. Sommers run for the terri
torial legislature this time in Nome
on a platform which favored the re
peal of the mining law*, the repeal of
the Sunday closing law, and favored
an eight hour law'. He was defeated.
A lot of Wickersham men today
were democrats before. And a lot of
democrats today were Wickites be
fore. In some cases the difference be
tween the two is that one half are
looking for a job and the other half
failed to land one. They are the em
blems of hope and despair.
Nelchina had no voting precinct
this time. That is the people of that
section voted-at Copper Center.
At the last election Aldrich, who is
now said to have been elected senator
from Nome, was fifth man in the run
ning for the house when only one pre
cinct was left to be heard from. That
place was in the Koyuk and the re
sult was not known for over a month.
When it finally came it placed Aldrich
in the house. This example shows how
hard it is to judge the result until all
places send in their returns.
Some men in Alaska who wig-wag
to and from all parties now depend on
the name of Wickersham to elect them
to the legislature. They follow Wick
ersham like tails to success. This re
minds one that by combining the
words “tails”, “wig-wag” and “Wick”
we get a new word in the English
language. It is “Wicktails.” The
derivation is sound.

just try one of our famous steaku
And a pint of Bass’s Ale
Then take a draw at your favorite

And a glass of your pet liquor
And you'll heave & sigh, and stretch

And you’ll say,* well,I cruets that’s poor.’
