All the Sinn Fein members of the Irish republican parliament now in prison will have been released by to morrow, except John J. McKeown, who is under conviction for having murdered District Inspector McGrath. Though the opening of the parlia ment is some time off, the immediate release of the prison res has been de dided as necessary to afford them oppor runity to confer with their colleagues. The general impression eipresse.1 by tha newspapers is to the effect that the government s action in freeing the pris oners hss been marred by makinc an exception In the ease of McKeown. The murder for which he wns convicted was the shooting of District Inspector Me brath during a Sght in which the in spector tried to shoot him. MKeown also was the organiser of several am buscsdrs in County Longford, in which members of the crown foreeawere blown up by mines. ' At his trial severs! Drit ish officers testified in behalf of Me Keown, saying that they had received good treatment while held captive' by him. The sentence of death has not received the eonflrmstloa of tha com msndar in ehief as yet. McKeown was the rammandaat of the Irish republican army in his district and his acts were endorsed by his chiefs. Hence his detention in prison while others were permitted their freedom is regarded by tha newspapers as lade Tvnsihle. All tha men nra to be re leased unconditionally.

Ships Come to Reeeae According to the stories of survivors, three lifeboats were launched. The last was but a few feet fr.vn the wreck when thr Alaska, which had listed tj ',. board, suddenly righted and then plung ed bow tirst. The steamer Anyox, towing a hargv to Vancouver, was twelie miles distant when the first '-S. (). s." signals of tho Alaska flashed out. Within an hour the Anovx arrived at the wreck and with order. that won high praise from the survivors, the crew ef the Anyox speedily picked up thise who were drifting in life preservers or ill life boats. Through the night other ships joined in the rescue work. Twelve bodies were found which with the arrival of the Anym and a tug bearing the bodies here left the unac counted for at least a' passengers and four memlifra-of the crew.
