London, March 25—The passen
ger boat Sussex while skirting
the coast, on the Germau side was
torpedoed and sunk. Tlia captain
o" the torpedoed boat was using
| every precaution known 'o naviga
tion Stealthily the German mis

watery srave.
Wiu'u the Steamship Dolphin j
rounded the corner yesterday and
gave her signal of salute to the
!.-.wn, old timers down at the wharf
were somewhat puzzled. Gliding
uo the canal was a bottom that they
did not 'recognize. Not until she
threw her name plate before the
optics of the assembled crowd did
they perceive the identy of their
old staunch and true friend, "The
Dolphin."
This is the first trio of the popu- 1
lar h >at this season to our shore.
She has been overhauled from stein
to s-ifcrn, her machinery is working
1:kc a fine Swiss clock. She ir.
garbed in a spring dress of glisten
ing white trimmed in bright yellow |
draperies. The staterooms have
bet'u thoroughly leaned and paint-]
ed. New bedding hi-s been added
and "spick and span" & too mod
est a term to be appfied to her ap
pearance.
Th company has placed a new
se» of officers on. her deck. John
Livingston, known from Point BaT
rcw to Point Conception, will lead
tho boat through the waters or
this coast. Joseph Kline, an old |
and sea worthy follower of the j
triny deep, will safely pilot the ,
ship through tho narrow channels
and whirling rapids of the route,
Sir. Conway will see that the table
is stocked with the finest of foods
•»nd Mr. Su-rrat will act in the ca
pacity of putsur. Tha Alaska
Steamship Company feels very
proud of their new boat and espec
ially the masterful crew to whom
is entrusted her safety. The com
pany feels that this selection of
officers will prove beneficial to all
tc.irists as they are a jolly lot and
will leave no stone unturned to
make each voyage a trip long to
be remembered in the minds of the
pleasure seekers.

SPEEDY QUINTET WIS
BASKET BALL GAME
I Before a screeching mob in the lo.
cai gymnasium last night the
White Pass Athletic club met de
feat. at tho hands of the Tread well
Athletic club by; a score ol 27 to
16.
The game was rough and tumble
from (Jie moment the whistle blew
until tb© closing of tho last half.
The local boys put up a scrappy
exhibition but could not stand up
againsi the heavy; invaders. View
ing thq game from, scientific sports
maushiu the local boys tied their
opponents in ability to play the
game.
At eight o'clock both teams came
prancing out upon the floor, ran
through a light warm ug exercise,
the referee tossed the ball up at
center and the game was on. Tread
well lined up as follows: Forwards,
Iligley and Melzner, guards Kertis
and Jones, center, Hayes. The local
team formed their quintet by plac
ing H. Ask and C. Ask forward,
Caj >ain Dirrkee and Friedenthal at
guard and Rousseau at center.
Bouebrake went in at forward and
II. Ask to center to relieve Rous
seau, who was injured during an
exciting period of the game. Watts
relieved Friedenthal at guard.
Treadwell showed class through
out the* entire game. Kertis was
easily their stellar, making eight
fielf* baskets. His work at center
was very clever and he would easi
ly make any college team in the
states. C. Ask proved a good shoot
er for the local boys and was fol
lowed closely by Bonebrake, who
tipped the ball in the basket with
apparent ease.
The local boys came back with
a burst, cf speed the second half
and for a while it looked as though
they would pick up enough points
to tie the score. The Islanders
picked up and after some snappy
playing and clever plays ran the
score for the second half up to
nineteen points. Skagway was on
the defensive most of the time and
Treadwell played offensive. The
visitors are used'to playing on a
floor seventy five feet in, length
and it is 'rather novel for them to
dart around on a smaller arena.
\\'ill Blanchard acted as umpire,
Dutton representing the* Treadwell
• earn was referee the first half and
Hal Johnston manipulated the
whistle the second half. Time
keepers were W. H. Warren and
L. Gutfeld. Scorer keeper, C. L.
Brown.
Tonight will be the big game.
Both sides have had a cample of
how the trick is done. A slight
change will be made in the local
line-up at this evening's ^me. C.
Ask sf.d Bonebrake at forward; H
Ask at center; Uurkep and AlcKeu
zie at guard. Watts and Spaftcs
will be ready for 'relief work.
Treadwell is well represented by
a woman's team. They are report
ed as playing a snappy, live game.
They show clever work in their
practice game. They will be re
presented as follows: Marie Cor
yell, Ruby Johnson at forward, Mao
Schumann, Cletus Carroll at guard
and Alice Coughiin, at center. Miss
Ruby Carroll will act as substitute.
The. local team have been practic
ing to meet their opponents and
this game should be a whirl-wind.
)$' tli sides are ready for the con
test. Tonight's game will be a
double header. During the inter
mission the women's taem will ap
pear on the floor to defend th^ir
titles.
At tho closn of tile gamo a
dance will be held. Dancing will
hold sway until one o'clock. Re
frrshc:ents will be seived. The
band dese-iTes credit and Manager
Johnston feels very grateful to
that organization as they have of
fered their sei vices free of charge.
The admission to the gime will be
the popular price of fifty cents.
Oaino tilled at eight o'clock sharp.
Tacoma.M arch 2.5—Copper holds
its own. Quoted at twenty eight
twenty five.
Lonodn, March 25—Great fear is
beia • expressed about the safety of
Lieut, tshackelton, the( Antarctic
explorer. A message has been re
ceived from his auxiliary ship, the
Aurora, stating that he is probably
lost. Relief parties sent out to
search for him are returning emptjsi
handed. They report that a terrific
Etoria is breaking and that it will
be impossible to battle with the
tleuients. All that they can do is
to await developments.
\V£shington, D. C., March 25—
Tllg Entente powers, through, their
embassies have given Lansing and
his net scheme a formal rejection.
Iiansing ' put before the powers a
-proposal that they disarm all mer
chant ships.
