The law provides that ail natives
[born in Alaska, who shall have aban
doned the ways of the tribe and who
I shall have passed a satisfactory ex
amination before the majority of the'
I teachers at the nearest school, wheth
er governmental or territorial, shall
| receive a certificate which shall then
be signed by five citizens who shall
have known the native for at least a

with the district court accompanied
by an affidavit showing that it is gen

judge of the court.
The treaty with Russia, by which
the Vnited States acquired Alaska,
provided that the members of unciv
ilized tribes should be subject to such
laws as the United States should
make for their government, but that
civilized persons who elected to re
main within the territory should re
ceive all rights as citizens. There
has always been much controversyi
over the question of the citizenship
of Indians in Alaska. Many claimed
they were citizens while others con
tended the opposite.
The act passed by the last legisla
ture was introduced by Senator Chas.
Sulzer with a view to settling all
controversy in the matter.

commodations or none at all, and
there were few of these.
The passengers for Valdez were E.

Will Sail for t lie North About the
First of .June:and Will Krtimi
with tire Exjilorer to Nome in Lat
ter fart of September.
Captain L. L. 'Lane, an arctic nav
igator of long experience, has an
nounced that he will leave Seattle for
the Arctic Ocean :about June 1 in a
300 ton power seboone^ now being
built there., and expects to return to
Nome or Seattle next autumn with
Vilhajaimur Stefansson and the other
members of the Canadian government
exploring expedition that sailed from
Victoria, B. C., for the Arctic ocean
June 17. 1913. Captain Lane pians
to be at Banks Land, in the Polar
Sea^ about August 5, end to meet
Stefansson there. Lane, in the pow
er schooner Polar Bear, took Stef
an'sson and two companions from
Banks’ Land to Herscbel Island last
August, and afterward sold the Polar
Bear to Stefansson, who returned to
'Banks’ Land and then, on the break
small power boat Gladiator, intending
j to spend the winter’in exploration in
| Banks Land, and then., on the break
ing of the ice this spring, making
further explorations of the new land
which he discovered last year, north
of Melville Island. Capt. Laifle is
now in Seattle supervising the con
struction of his new schooner.
•Captain Lane is going north, not
under contract with the Canadian j
government, but under a verbal con-1
tract with Stefansson. Lane's new !
power boat, which probably will be I
named the Great Bear, will be of |
wooden construction, and the strong
est ice-resisting vessel ever built on ■
Puget Sound. Lane will take with |
him gasoline and other supplies for;
the Stefansson fleet. Stefansson has:
asked the Canadian government to j
permit his parties to continue their j
work a year longer, but it is believed i
that on account of war conditions I
the explorers will be ordered home, j
The expedition was planned to con-:
tinue three and one-half years. j
Unless ice movements are unfavor
able, Capt. Lane expects to reach j
Banks Land at the time fixed upon, j
If he has good fortune he will call I
first at Herschel island, where he may j
receive word from Stefansson. If hej
does not get instructions there, he
will proceed north to Banks Land,
making stops at points agreed upon,
last year, where Stefansson may have j
letters of men waiting for Lane. It j
may be that the explorers will choose i
to return to Nome in their own boats,
the power schooners Polar Bear, Alas
ka, Mary Sachs and North Star, but
the vessels will probably be out of
repair and unable to make the quick
voyage that will be necessary to elude
the treacherous ice, which closes in j
upon the coast rapidly in early au
tumn. If all goes well, the explorers
should arrive in Nome soon after the
middle of September.
The Stefansson expedition from the
beginning was divided into two par
ties. The northern, under Stefans
son, planned to seek new land in the
Beaufort Sea and succeeded, not
withstanding the loss of the principal
boat, the whaler Karluk, which was
crushed in the ice the first winter out.
The southern party, under Dr. Ru
dolph Anderson, has been exploring
and charting the delta of the Macken
zie River and the country to the
east, and also making geological sur
vey of the islands and mainland at
the mouth of the great river, making
especial search for copper and coal.
Copper nuggets abound along the wa
terways, and the Eskimos have weap
ons and utensils of beaten copper.
Stefansson, who discovered blue-eyed
Eskimos in the Coronation Gulf coun
try, east of the Mackenzie, some years
ago, these people, he believed, being
descendants of-the ancient Scandina
vian settlers in Greenland, is not re
visiting these Eskimos during hfls
present journey. Stefansson and An
derson have a larg$ amount of in
formation and material, and will
make a complete report to the Cana
dian Government - Stefansson will
publish a book describing his discov
eries.

; BERLIN, April 27.—The Cologne
Gazette, recognized as one oi the gov
ernment organs, in an article today,
istated that the. government had re
ceded from its defiant altitude re
garding the American note and will
intake a number of concessions to
meet the American demand,
i The article states that Germany is
particularly anxious to hold the Uni
ted States neutral for a number of
reasons. "While it is said that as a
belligerent the United States would
not harm Germany particularly, and
because of her distance from the
j European conflict could not take an
[important part, the breaking of the
i friendly relations between the two
icountries would seriously affect Ger
[many from an economic standpoint, a
i situation which might seriously affect
[Germany's chances in the struggle.
[ It is believed that the reply to the
;President’s note will be forthcoming
.within a few days, and that it will be
[satisfactory to the American govern
ment.

ANTONIO, April 27.—The
whereabouts of General Obregon,
Mexican Minister of War, who was
to have been here yesterday for a con
ference with Generals Scott and
Funston, is a mystery. He has not
made his appearance and nothing
concerning his whereabouts has been
learned. He has failed to communi
cate'with the Uijited States military
authorities, and his silence is puz

It is feared here that his non-ap
pearance is an indication that trouble
in Mexico is liable to break out any
moment as on the’result of the con
ference which was to be held as it was
greatly to the advantage of Mexico
that the conference be held and his
failure to appear has caused consid
