Nothing was heard from the steamer

laycd by had weather yesterday. This
will probably result in the departure of
the vessel being delayed though the
local agents are not informed as to
when it will be,
Arrivals from York report that the

creek and the tin production will prob
ably he equal to if not excell that of

mer and the majority of the operators

Tin launch Defiance made a trip to
the Penny river dug farm yesterday

Downing and a number of others bent
on inspecting the large number of ruce
dogs quartered there for the summer
season. Among the blooded animals
at the camp are the flyers of the Allan
and I tai ling, Ihe Downing and the
Brant Jackson teams, of which Mat
Lawson is the custodian.
"Buckshot John," a thrilling five part
western drama is the bill at the Dream
tonight. It is a Paramount feature
with a famous east, headed by Ho
bart [a swortli. It is the tale of early
pioneer days, with its red-blooded men
and the strenuous life on the fron
tier, Thrill after thrill follows in,
rapid succession, and interspersed with
a few funny situations it makes a
"corker" of a photo-drama. Bosworth
as "Buckshot John,” reformed, shows
great horsemanship. It has the
Dream's guarantee of being a "good
show."
Wireless reports from St. Michael,
received by private parties in Nome,
state that Agent Frank O'Connor, of
Hie Pari tic Coast Steamship Company,
was tin victim of an unfortunate ac
cident in St. Michael bay through
sustaining a fall while going aboard
the Senator from the lighterage tug
and is at present confined to his bed
suffering with a severely strained and
bruised right log. The water was
rough at the time and, being a per
■son of more than ordinary avoirdupois,
the genial Mr. O'Connor was some
what handicapped in his efforts to get
aboard the steamer front the tossing
lug. In some as yet unexplained man
ner he slipped with the stated result.
Win. Code of the Dream received a
telegram from his partner, Dick
Thorne of Fairbanks yesterday stating
that the famous film picture "Civiliza
tion" had arrived in the Tanana city
and would be forwarded to Nome on
the first down river boat. Thorne
speaks highly of the picture and ad
vises that it will justify a big spread
in the line of ad%rertising. From the
tone of outside comment Civilization
is one of the greatest film pictures ever
taken. Several of the leading moving
picture publications rank Ute film fis
second only to The Birth of a Nation.
The launch Fisher, formerly known
as the Defiance II, which departed for
Chinik on the evening of the 13th, in
charge of Tom Nicolay, was picked up
about six miles off the coast this
morning by the coast guard crew and
towed into port in a disabled condi
t ion.
Owing to engine trouble the vessel
was disabled soon after leaving here
Wednesday evening and had been
drifting up and down the coast during
the interval, unable to reach land or
the interval as they had sails aboard.
Fortunately no mind has been
blowing during the period or" the little
craft would probably have been wreck
ed or blown to sea. The lookout at the
the coast guard station picked up a
light far out to sea about two this
morning but was unable to toll with
I certainty as to its nature owing to the
rain and mist hanging over the water.
With the approach of daylight it was
seen through the large telescope
mounted in the cupola of the station
that the vessel was flying a distress
signal and the life saving crow at
once put out and towed the disabled
launch ilHo the roadstead. The two
occupants, NichoFtiy and Thus. Nakkela
were cold and fatigued by their
experience but were otherwise all
right. The Fisher was loaded with
salt and fishing gear to be used by
ITUicolay and the other man in es
tablishing a herring saltery at Chinik.
Owing to the exceedingly low tide,
the (list bar running parallel to the
coast i» visible for some distance west
of Snake river. In the interval of low
water I he beach miners have been
busy with shovel and pan looking for
the elusive paystre ,*, but so far as
known no ground of particular value
has been discovered. Several surf
wasl era a,ie visible along the shore
directly opposite to town.

TEUTON’S PLAN MIGHTY
BALKAN OFFENSIVE
International Nawa Sarviea.
LONDON, Sept. 15.—According to
dispatches reaching London from
Koine today, a great Teuton-Bulgur
offensive in the Balkan section has
been decided upon by the kaiser and
representatives of the German allies
at a series of conferences held at Ber
lin iluring the past week.
The Home reports declare that this
information lias been obtained from
authentic sources and may be ffflly
credited as expressing the intentions
of the central allies with respect to
the Balkan activities. The report is
supplemented with the statement that
It is the intention of the Teutons to
send an army of at least three hun
dred thousand men to the assistance
oi the Turkish and Bulgarian forces j
in tlie hope of crushing the allies and
itoumaiiiii in a tremendous smash that
is believed will end forever further j
activities in the Balkans and possibly
end the war.
According to the Borne declaration 1
Germany has agreed to detach two
hundred thousand men for the con
I
templatod campaign, while Austria
will provide an army of one hundred
thousand. These, combined with the
Turkish and Bulgarian forces will give
the central powers a preponderance o£
strength that is confidently felt will
drive the entente forces from the Bal
kans. The most outstanding feature
of the reported agreement of the Teu
tons is that they have come to an ac
tive realisation that the Balkans air
the pivotal point of the war and fail
ure to exert their greatest strength
in that section is to invite ultimate
disaster.
Military experts here are divided on
the question of whether it is possible
for Germany and Austria to detach
sufficient troops to visibly change the
trend of events in the Balkans. The
majority hold that the concerted ac
tivities of the entente allies will not
allow the Germans to denude their
lines to an appreciable degree without
running a risk of disaster. Others
contend that by confining themselves
to a strictly defensive campaign on all
fronts the Teutons can divert a large
1 ortlon of their reserves to the assist
ance of the Turko-Bulgars armies.
GRIGSBY EXPOSES WICK
TO SEWARDITES
Pacific News Service.
HEWAHD, sept. 14.—Grigsby ad
] dressed an immense crowd at a rous
ing meeting at which great enthusiasm
prevailed. He spoke for two hours,
pro < o' ug an array of facts backed
by record proof showing Wicker
s', sm's pretended tight on the Guggen
heim and cannery interests to be in
sincere ind for cainpa'gn purposes
only. Proved that Wickersham was
responsible for the insertion of the
word "fish" in the organic act, limiting
the powers of the legislature in that
regard. Also that he was responsible
for other limitations in the act. He
utterly demolished the Schofield charge
that Grigsby persecuted Nome long
i shoremen, referring to men in the aud
ience who were former members of the J
Nome union, who also verified his I
statements.
Called Murane, Gilmore and Soho- J
field hyphenated Alaskans but devoted
most of his time to Wickersham, |
demonstrating him to ho on the tall \
and of all progressive legislation for J
Alaska.
Grigsby will carry Seward by a i
large majority. Grigsby's' speech was j
mostly in behalf of Sulzer and de
nouncing Wickersham.
