FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY
CASH IS SHORT
In a letter from Governor
Strong to the local Commercial
Club, he makes it plain that
there is no probability of the
passage of the appropriation of
$200,000.00 by Congress for an
Alaskan exhibit at the Panama
Pacific Fair at Frisco next year.
If it does not there will only be
a partly $10,000.00 available
for the collection, transporta
tion and installation of the Al
aska exhibit. The Governor
wishes to impress strongly up
on the people of the Territory
that if Alaska is to be adequate
ly represented at the fair, it is
up to the patriotic citizens to
get busy at once collecting the
materials for the same. The
fair will open the 20th of next
February and all exhibits should
be ready for shipment by No
vember 1st. With the limited
appropriation in hand the Gov
ernment can oqjy’ agree to pay
the transportation from the
point of shipment in Alaska to
San Francisco and return. In
order that the Ketchikan Dis
trict may be properly represen
ted we would suggest that every
mine owner and prospector
send in good sized samples
from his property to the Ketchi
kan Commercial Club, who will
undertake to care for them and
forward to the exposition at
the proper time. Persons hav
ing articles relating to indus
tries, development or the re
sources of Alaska which would
make interesting exhibits are
requested to communicate with
the Secretary of the Club at
once. Let every one try to
think of something to help the
cause.
M. A. MITCHELL, Secretary.

LTpon his return lo Seattle
from a three-month’s sojourn
in Europe, Frank Waterhouse
states he found that much in
terest is being taken in Alask i
•and its possibilities. The move
ment of emigration to Alaska is
becoming a subject of the most
serious consideration. The at
tention of all the European
ports, he found, is centered to
a large extent on the Nortn
Pacific because of the approach
ing completion of the Panama
Canal and in estimates of what
the future is to bring forth on
the coast. Alaska holds an im
portant place.

None of the thirteen bodies
known to have been in the wat
ers of Lynn canal since the oc
casion of the launch tragedy,
the morning of July 4, have
been recovered and there is
little likelihood that any of
them will be, as the water of
that, portion of the canal is said
to be one thousand fathoms
deep. Diligent search has been
made along the shores of the
canal but of no avail.

During a recent meeting of
the town council, Mayor Reck,
of Juneau, declared that the
most effective way to get rid of
the tin and metal chimneys in

a couple of men to go around

residents had been notified,
and that did not seem to be ef
fective.

A BIG BOND
The Treasury Department has
decided to allow the, tug Com
modore to proceed to her des
tination, provided she puts up a
bond for her total value, which
i« appraised at about ninety
thousand dollars. This amount
of course can not be raised
here, so-’the attempt is being
made today to secure permis
sion to put the cash up at the
Seattle Customs House. The
wires have been kept busy and
'he tug and her tow will prob
ably get away during the night.

Officials of the American -
Yukon Navigation Company
have induced British Columbia
authorities to ask the removal
of United States Commissioner
John Dillon of Fairbanks. They
charge that Dillon authorized a
witness in his court to demon
strate a fight, L. C. Roach, the
purser of the steamship Yukon,
being roughly used in the dem
onstration by the witness. Jack
Green, captain of the steamship
was being tried for assault on
Charles Sharkey, a steward.
Fred Ashby, a deck hand, was
the witness. Ashby said he
could demonstrate the fight if
a small man would take the
place of the attacked man. The
court pointed out the purser
and told the witness to dem
onstrate to him, which he did
so realistically that the purser
was roughly handled before the
fight was stopped. The charges
were filed in a complaint to
Canadian QommSssioner Black
at Dawson, who sent a request
to Washington to have Dillon
removed.

FROM THURSDAYS DAILY
1,000 SERVIANS KILLED
CZAR MAY TAKE FIELD
Vienna, July 30—After a heavy
bombardment by the Danube
fleet, Belgrade was occupied
last night by the Austrian forc
es, over a thousand Servian
soldiers being killed in the at
tack. The Austrian soldiers
showed wonderful bravery,
charging with fixed bayonets
and taking the outer works on
the run. The Servians were
out classed from the very begin
ning, their commanding office
ers being absolutely inefficient.
St Petersburg, July 30—In
Russian eyes, the die has been
cast, and nothing short of a
political miracle can avert a
general war in Europe. This
country is particularly interest
ed, as she is recognized as the
very heart of the Slavonic
people, against which Austria’s
arms are now turned. Realiz
ing this. Czar Nicholas issued
an imperial ukase today, appeal
ing to his people generally to
forget their petty differences
for the time being and unite for
a national unity. He also call
ed out the first reserves (i the
regimental colors, which will
increase the fighting -licngth
of the empire to close lo four
million men. Ever since the
Japanese war Russia has been
preparing for this struggle,
which everybody has long seen
imminent, and is today per
haps better prepared for a huge
conflict than over before in her
history. The latest improve
ments in small arms have been
adopted and the army is fully
armed and accoutered. The ar
tillery is of the French pattern,
which proved so much superior
to the German in the recent
Balkan war when time and again
the Balkan allies simply out -
shot their opponents even when
the guns of the latter were
served bv German artillerymen.
There is every probability that
the Gzar will take the field him
self in the event that the
strength of Russia is massed
in any one place.
Shanghai, July 30—It is gen
erally believed here that the
Shantung Peninsula will wit
ness fighting in the event that
the European trouble becomes
general, as Great Britain will
lose no opportunity to attack
Germany, whose growth as a
world power she 'has long
watched with jealous eyes. On
the «outh side of Shantung i;
the fortified port and naval
yards of Kiao-ehou, which is
is held by Germany, while on
the north side is Wei-hei-wei,
under British rule. Both coun
tries maintain large fleets in
Chinese waters, but Germany
is far out classed by the ships
flying the British flag, both in
numbers and weight. Both navy
yards are reported to be work
ing night and day getting the
vessels of the station up to their
highest efficiency. If the threat
ening war furnishes England an
excuse to sweep Germany from
the seas, it will retard this over
seas growth for many years and
prove a decided advantage to
the Brititsh. _
Berlin, July 30—Three army
corps were dispatched today to
the French frontier for their
annual maneuvers. Leading
generals are in command.
London. July 30—British dip
lomats declare that, the invasion
of Servia by German troop : will
not be tolerated, and that Great
Britain will inlerfcar rather
than permit such a codnilion.
