SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 1815.
Welcome to the delegates to the Republican convention.
On the Evans this morning came a lot of men whose names have been
most prominently associated with the big affairs ot the territory lot many
years. Most of them, the vast majority, are men who have talents which
would grace a far more populous land this. They are examples in the flesh
of the fitness of Alaskans to govern Alaska.
Seward, the Terminal City of the government railroad, welcomes them
most cordially and sincerely. May their time be pleasant amongst us.
After little talks with some of the delegates to the Republican conven
tion one can hardly say more than has been said by this paper several times
in the past couple of months. Some of the delegates are men who have been
opposed to the present Delegate to congress through many hard and bitter
fights and others are men who have been his supporters. All have appar
ently now come together with a*view to bridging the gulf as the Republicans
in national politics are bridging the gulf outside. I here is hardly any way
of telling just how matters will shape up here in the next two or three days.
Apparently some of the men who formerly opposed Mr. Wickersham are
willing for th** sake of their party to come to some agreement. Yesterday,
before the visitors came, this paper expressed the belief that the present
Delegate would receive the nomination and it really still looks that way. But!
we shall know all before the end of the week.
Anyhow, tomorrow in Seward will begin the most interesting political *
convention in the history' of Alaska.
I . S. S. PENNSYLVA1A
BEGINS ITS TRIALS
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
WASHINGTON, April 5.—The new
monster super-dreudnaught U. S. S.
Pennsylvania, one of the most power
ful sea battlers afloat, began her
trials otT the Maine coast today.
The Pcnnsylcania displaces 31,400
tons, is 608 feet over all, 07 feet !n
breadth and will, if she fills her con
tract agreement, be capable of de
veloping 21 knots. Her main battery
consists of twelve 14-inch guns in
four turrets, and four submerged tor
pedo tubes.
In her secondary battery are twen
ty-two 5-inch rapid fire guns, four im
pounder saluting guns, two one
pounder guns for boats, two 3-inch
field guns and two .30 calibre machine
guns.
Her full complement is sixty-five
officers, 863 men ami seventy-four
marines. She has a fuel capacity of
694,830 gallons of oil and 2,322 tons
of coal. Her total cost was $13,000,
000.
An idea of the monster’s size and
power can be better realized through
comparison with the Delaware,
launched in February 1009, „and at |
that time considered the last word in
a man-o’-war. The Delaware dis- j
places 20,000 tons. She carries ten !
*
12-inch guns in five turrets from
which can be hurled a broadside of
five tons. A broadside from the Pen-1
nsylvania weighs seven and one half
tons.
The Pennsylvania was the second
ship to be launched since 1843 with
ceremonies that included prayer. The
other was the Oklahoma, launched in
1014. This latest super-dreadnaught
was built at the Newport News yards.

NEWS PRINT FREIGHT RATE
INCREASE DECISION EXPECTED
Special to Gateway by United Pms.
WASHINGTON, April 5. — News
paper pi blishcrs of the country, fight
ing proposed increase in rates on
news print papei soon will know the
result of their fight. The interstate
commerce commission has before it
the facts, following hearings and ar
guments.
If the rate increases are granted,
publishers east of the Mississippi and j
north of the Ohio river will brt parti
cularly affected. Publishers all over
the country who get paper from the
east will be somwhat alfected. All
classes of paper are included in the
proposed increases. The situation as
applied to news print paper is:
The railroads have named rates
which they say will equalize rates on
all classes of paper. At present the
; rates are admittedly confused. It is
i claimed that the rates asked will j
I result in increased revenues for the
railroads, and that all rates will be
equalized. #
Since 1898 the New England and
Northern New York mills which!
make 75 per cent of the news print,
have gotten a commodity rate of 18.9
cents 100 pounds. Before the 5 per
cent increase, this rate was 18 cents, j
! The proposed commodity rate, as it is
called, is for 21 cents—an advance of
11 per cent. It applies to news print
particularly from the territory and
from Quebec.
