:,ud prediction's have been freely made in recent years by those familiar with Austro
Hungarian politics that the death of the aged emperor would be the signal for an up
heaval among the antagonistic races constituting the empire. Ktuperor Francis Joseph

ut'd to suicide. The wife of Emperor Francis Joseph, the beloved Empress Elizabeth',

RAILWAY SURVEY
PARTIES ARE BUSY
(Fairbanks Times, June 261
Returning from his trip to Nenana, Com
missioner Riggs of the Alaska engineering
I commission arrived m town about 7:30
j last evening. On the upward trip the en
gineer of the launch Midnight Sun acccm
\ panied the official, and will remain here
! until the boat is put in condition. All the
j .-park plugs of the launch have been burned
out. and there are none in Fairbanks to re
I place them, it will be necessary to wait
until some which are on the way from Daw
son arrive. Commissioner ltiggs is much
jj-hased with the progress being made by
i aii the survey parties. Especially is he
pleased with the possibility of getting freight
up the Nenana river.
As contended by many old-timers, whose
; opinions were published after those return
; mg on the steamer Dan reported that it
I wa impossible to go up the Nenana in
| poling boats, the railroad engineers found
j that it was quite feasible. The launch Mid
! night Sun proceeded up the Nenana river
for twenty miles, and could have gone far
ther except for its engine trouble. From
that point the poling boat men took the
i cargo and proceeded up river.
As soon as the horses reached Nenana
! Engineer Gray got away for the mouth of
Healey creek, from which place he is to
run a line directly to Fairbanks. Before
starting up the river, however, while he
was waiting for horses, he covered about
six miles of the Nenana river route.
Bacon and his party were last heard of
at the canyon on the Nenana, on the way
to Broad pass, from which place they are
| to work back to the junction of the Nenana
i and the Tanana.
Bailey is reported to be eight miles below
| Chena and making good headway toward
Nenana.
Upon his return to town Commissioner
Riggs received a communication from
i Washington which he considers good news,
1 inasmuch as it is to take considerable worry
1 off his mind. A disbursing clerk will leave
Washington for Fairbanks in a few days,
and will come North as quickly as possible. .
The disbursing clerk is a man named Ham
mond, who has had a great deal of ex
perience in the davy department.
When coming up the river yesterday with
i Harry Karstens the engineer found Hayden
and his party located a short distance be
j low Chena. on the south side of the river.
THE MAIL
Outgoing mail will leave here at 10
I o’clock Sunday morning. Registry closed at
I 5 o’clock last evening. It is expected that
j the incoming mail will be met by Frank
1 Kern at Dikeman, and that it will reach

FRANK MORAN
IS A STAYER
Johnson Wins on Points
(By Wireless to The Pioneer)
Paris, June 28. —Jack Johnson, the cham
pion heavyweight pugilist, was given the
decision on Saturday afternoon on points
in his fight with Frank Moran. At the
end of the twenty rounds both men ap
peared in the pink of condition. Johnson
showed that he was there with the knock
out punch, but he was unable to land any
of his famous uppercuts on his opponent on
account of Moran’s evasive tactics. John
, son got first blood in the fourth round,
when he started the claret flowing from
Moran’s nose. The contest was one of the
best ever pulled off in this city. Johnson
forced the fighting throughout, the twenty
; rounds. Moran is generally given the credit
for being a very game fighter.
Colin Beil Didn't Last Long

London, July 3.- Bombardier Wells, the
Knglish heavyweight champion, on Wednes

Bell in the second round ol what was in

Ritchie as Fit as a Fiddle
Willie Ritchie, the world’s champion
lightweight pugilist, who arrived in London
a few days ago, is getting himself settled in
training quarters to prepare himself for his
coining match with Freddie Welsh, the
Knglish champion. Ritchie told the news
paper men who called on him to tell his
friends that he is in splendid condition, and
will certainly give a good account of him
self in the ring on the day of the fight.
Wolgast Breaks Arm

Los Angeles, July 2.—Ad Wolgast, the
former lightweight champion, who was
training Matty McClure for his fight with
Rivers at Vernon arena tomorrow, broke
an arm yesterday afternoon.
A Talk With Moran
Frank Moran arrived in this country from
Europe in April to fulfill a vaudeville en j
gagement. Recently a sport writer said of I
him:
‘The big blond giant of Pittsburgh, Pa .
stepped from the Mauretania 1 >oking as
neat and clean-cut as ever he always was j
a mighty fine fellow, a thorough gentleman j
and a credit to the game.
“ Til lick him sure!' were the first words
he uttered, and he fully believes it. too.
**M .ran is over her tilling no the coin '
coffer at £900 *pc’r-' He is making money
on the fighi already. (Who -aid that white
hopes were a joke? 1
“ ‘How in the world Johnson has escaped
m) long is a mystery to me,' said the Pitt<- j
burgh boy. ‘One look at the dingo is enough
to make anyone wonder why he wasn't
grabbed long since this. He must weigh ;
at least 240 pounds, and while he doesn't j
annear dissipated, he looks mighty healthy j
- -mighty healthy. Oh, he lives the life of
Reilly ail right. 1 saw him light a short j
time ago--that battle with his namesake, j
“Battling Jim” Johnson. It was a real
fight, though, even if “Battling Jim ’ did
fall down and knock himself out. And say!
if Jack cannot fight any better than he did
that night I have a cinch. Why, he seemed
to have forgotten all about boxing. He
rushed and swung all around the ring -
looking anything but a champion. You
know how he used to fight—standing up
straight, with the left out and the right
uppercut ready, and waiting for ’em to
come in. Well, he doesn't do that any
more. He goes after ’em now, and most
awkwardly, too. He was completely winded
in six rounds. I think that the wrestling
game he has been indulging in has spoiled
him.
“ ‘Oh. he is some wrestler,’ laughed Mo
ran. ‘He wrestles standing up and never
goes to the mat. He just stands up there
and cuffs his opponent around the ring.
The wrestlers are all afraid of him—they
are afraid of a punch on the jaw. He has
hit two or three of ’em, you know.
“ ‘The French don’t like him at all, but
they consider him the legitimate champion
of the world and respect him for that. He
causes some commotion when he rides down
the boulevards in his illuminated auto—
believe your Uncle Francis.
“‘We expect the tight to draw almost
as much money as the Jeffries-Johnson
fight. It will be held in the Veledrome
dTIiver, which seats 35.000 persons. The
first two rows of seats about the ring will
be sold at auction, and no telling what
they will bring. I know a sportsman who
will pay $2,000 if necessary. The next
three rows will sell for $1,000 each, and so
on down. There will be about $150,000 in
the house, it is estimated. Johnson is guar
anteed $35,000, win, lose or draw. I am
guaranteed $5,000. The money has been
put up by two rich American sportsmen.
The check has been deposited to the credit
of Johnson’s wife, who may withdraw it
the day of the contest. There are no sus
picions in France in regard to this, as I
understand there is here.
“ ‘The match is looked upon as a social
event in Paris, and as it is held the day
before that Great French turf classic, the
Grand Prix, there will be as many women
present as men. Johnson and I divide 50
per cent of the moving picture profits,”
smiled Moran.
“ ‘How’ will I fight him?
“ ‘With the old right-hand wallop—that’s
how.
“‘And I'll beat him—sure!’”

Everything is in readiness for the cele
bration of Independence day in Iditarod to
day on a scale never before attempted, and
with propitious weather there is every rea
son to believe that it will be a splendid
success. The various committees have
done their work well, r.nd a program of
varied features has been provided that will
furnish entertainment from early in the
morning until sunrise the next morning
if so desired.
The committee announces th#'t the morn
ing will be devoted to firework and a street
carnival. The exercises will commence
promptly at 1 o’clock with an address of
welcome by A. E. Maltby, after which the
Declaration of Independence will be read by
Mrs. Ray D. Clark. Judge Frederick E.
Fuller will then introduce the Hon. G. Ellis
Gardner, the orator of the da*’. Mr. Gard
ner is the newly-appointed assistant United
States district attorney, and is a new ar
rival in Alaska. He is spoken of by his as
sociates from Fairbanks as a forceful
speaker, gifted with eloquence and wit, and
his address is looked forward to with pleas
urable anticipation.
The sports program, which is elaborate,
and for which substantial and liberal money
prizes have been offered, will commence at
2 o’clock sharp. The committee announces
that in order to participate n the various
events the entrants must be on hand when
the contest for which they ire entered is
called, otherwise they will be barred. This
is made necessary by the lenpth of the pro
gram, and all contestants arc warned to be
prompt. In events where a second prize is
offered there must be three or more entries,
otherwise no second prize will be given.
Atnietic Sports
The athletic contests have aroused a great
deal of interest, and some good sport is
looked for. The list of events is such as
to give athletes of all descriptions a chance
for a prize.
For the ladies some interesting contests
have been arranged, and the kiddies will
all have a chance to win prizes worth while
in events suitable to them.
On the River
Not the least interesting portion of the
day's program will be the aquatic sports.
It is feared that many who had intended
to participate in these events will be nr.
vented from doing so by a rush of work on
the river at the present time. The “gaso
line kids” are mostly at Dikeman at pres
ent for up-river cargoes. Cut it is hoped
that enough of them will arrive in time to
participate in the races to make them in
teresting. The aquatic sports will com
mence at 7 p. m.
Picture Show and Dance
At the conclusion of the river sports the
moving picture show will commence at
the A. 13. hall. Professor Drapeau lias
promised pictures appropriate to the occa
sion. The dance will follow immediately
after the -how. and the music wilt be pro
vided by the Iditarod String Orchestra,
which has made such a spi ndid reputation
for the excellence of its dance music.
Ail of the events, including the picture
show and dance, will be free, and the public
is co rdially invited.

BENNY AND THE BEAR
On last Wednesday afternoon, while
Bennett James, who is mining on Chicken
creek, was “sort o’ sa’nterin’ ” from that
stream and had reached the upper Flat
creek trail, he felt something tugging at
his feet. He looked down, and to his
amazement a black bear was there. And
in less than one short second Benny was
at least forty feet from there, and was go
ing some. So was the bear. The bear
liked Ben’s company. Ben lost his hat,
and stopped to get it. Bruin stopped also.
Ben also picked up a robust club and swat
ted the b’ar as the latter closed in for
another fond embrace. Benny sidestepped
Bruin, and the second lap of the race was
on for fair. Benny’s footwork was good,
but the bear’s was better. It was a dandy
race, and the odds were in the bear’s favor
when Ben stopped again, and this time he
picked up a huge rock to hurl at his pur
suer. He was determined to see the game
clear through and sell his life ag dearly as
possible. Just as he was about to throw
the stone—which would have undoubtedly
hurt Bruin’s feeling—the cook from A1
Walsh’s mining camp hove in sight and
whistled, and the bear immediately quitted
Benny and followed the cook back home.
The bear in this particular hair-raising
story proved to be “Betsy,” the cub that
last summer and fall afforded so much fun
about the Budweiser building in this city.
This little incident surely puts Bennett in
line as the proper successor of “John the
Bear-Hunter,” who left Fairbanks a few
weeks ago.
As the result of an altercation that took
place on Front street, Flat City, about 10
o’clock Thursday night last between Joe
Ducich and Mike Hayes, Ducich received
several wounds about hte face, which were
dressed by Dr. Moore. It is stated that
both men had been drinking.
We have everything arranged so now
that we can accommodate both ladies and
gentlemen with quick service and courteous
treatment.

TED'S THROAT SORE;
HIS FEET GETTING COLD
(By Wireless to The Pioneer)
Oyster Bay, July 2.—Colonel Roosevelt is afflicted with throat
trouble, and also a sudden attack of fever. He will probably not take
part in the opening of the political campaign, but hopes to be able to
take the stump later.
Not There With the Old-Time Ginger
(By Wireless to The Pioneer)
Pittsburgh, July 1 .-Ex-President Roosevelt, in a speech here
last night, scored the political bosses and also President Wilson for his
Mexican policy. He seemed to lack his old-time vigor and was very
tired at the conclusion of his speech.
MINERS’ UNION NEARLY DISRUPTER
(By Wireless to The Pioneer)
Butte, Mont., July 2.—Charles H. Moyer, president of the West
ern Federation of Miners, who, in fear for his life, fled from the city a
few days ago, has been warned not to return by the seceders from
the Western Federation. They claim to have a membership of nearly
three thousand, and have assumed complete control of the organiza
tion here.
The excitement attendant upon last week’s riotous demonstration
is dying down, and it is believed there will be no further trouble. The
Butte Miners’ Union, which is supposed to number nearly ten thousand
members, would be a severe loss to the Western Federation of Miners,
' and would probably mean the disruption of that organization.

! (By Wiroloss to Tbe Pioneer'
Juarez, July 2.-—General Villa, the rebel leader, who a few days
ago drove a superior federal force from the city of Zacatecas, after his

ing ammunition, he abandoned the campaign and returned to Torreon,
where he expects to meet General Carranze in conference, with a view'
of settling their differences.
A NEW WAY TO SNARE DUCKS
In order to maintain his reputation as a
man thoroughly conversant with the habits
of wild ducks, Ray Henderson comes for
ward with another duck story that is some
what out of the ordinary. It will be re
membered that at the time of the break-up
we recorded Ray's somewhat remarkable
feat of enticing a wild duck within range
of his gun by placing a bucket of water
in a conspicuous place in the wilderness of
ice and snow that surrounded his boat, and
how the duck, espying his native element,
became an easy victim. The incredulity
with which this story was received prompted
Ray to try and outdo the feat, and this
time he has veracious witnesses to bear him
out. The other morning the fireman on
the steamer Pup. Henderson’s boat, was
considerably surprised on opening up the
firebox, preparatory to getting up steam,
to hear something buttering around inside.
Upon investigation he found it to be a live
duck, which had in some manner gained
entrance through the smokestack. He cap
tured it and reported to Henderson, but
that sport received the communication
without the least surprise, and gave a
knowing wink at a visitor who happened to
be present. The wings of the duck were
clipped and it was turned over to “Chicken"
Smith, who will verify the story. Yesterday
morning Captain Henderson brought to The
Pioneer office another duck which he cap
tured in the same manner. He aliso
lutely refuses to divulge the hind of
bait, lure or inducement offered tr; the duck
to prompt him to seek such a strange place
of refuge.
