tions of the Mexican government has been demanded in a note

of the message. The president will pre.-ent the situation to con
cress wltt 11 11 -1- reply comes. President 1 ibon expected an answer
to bis note, wh.ieh was in the nature of an ultimatum, on Wednes
day last. He lias received an intimation that Carranza has been
discussing with Latin American diplomats the character tf his
reply. The reply is‘ still delayed, ami is engeny looked for. In
the meantime troops continue to be t -l ed to the bmnei.

An Immediate Reply r equested
The administration ha? instructed Special Agent Rodgers, at
Mexico City, to u ;ur?t an itnim'diatc reply to the ultimatum is
sued by the I'nitcd States government.
Private advices from reliable sources in Mexico City say that
Carranza and bis advisers are determined to stand by the orders
j.'uod TO General Trevino, to attack Americans moving in any
direction other than toward the border.
It appear? to evident now that there is no way to avoid a
break.
The Pre.-ideut will ask the joint session of congress for full

DEATH COMES TO RELIEF
OF MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY
NEW YORK, May IS. The travels of
Nathan Cohen, “the man without a couu
try.” who for two years was carried back i
and forth between New York and South
American ports on steamships because In'
was refused shelter in either the United
States or Brazil, have ended and his hotly i
lies buried in a Hebrew cemetery in Staten !
Island.
He died in a sanitarium at Greene Farris, j
Conn.', recently, and his body was brought
here for buri; 1.
Cohen’s journey of more than 33,000 ;
miles up and down the Atlantic ocean j
caused his fate to be likened to that of the i
Wandering Jew.
He was born in the province of Cour j
land. Russia. For a number of years he j
was in business in Brazil, and, accurnulat- [
ing several thousand dollars, he came to the 1
United States, landing at Baltimore three '
years ago. Subsequently he went to Jack
sonviilc. Fla., where he lost his little fortune 1
and his wife left him.
He was sent to Rio Janeiro on a steam- j
ship of the line which brought him here,
but Brazilian officials refused to let him
land. Returning to New York, he was :
again barred. After traveling back and
forth for two years he was allowed to land !
here after intercession on his behalf by the j
Knights of Pythias and the Sheltering arH ;
Liberation Aid Society of America, which
promised to send him to Russia after the
war.

Ic! Be rod Bids Fair to Become the
Center of Operations for an
Increased Number of Mod
ern Mining Machines
It begins to 1 > >k as though this district 1
and in at< icinity were to bee >m ; tl •
center of an immense dredging industry.
The costly methods of placer mining by
which the rich bopor-its of I l it. 0::er and i
other creeks formerly were mined are giv
ing place to the i onderous dredge with its
wondeifol effer iveu-r-- and <*c. nomical on- ■
eratirn, and the success which has attended
the operations of the dredges already in
stalled have tviu'- i the ey - of the operators
<■) this modern method of mining. There
are many creeks in this di.-tried which could
In successfully mined by means of a dredge
which otherwise might remain undevel •: ••«!.
Many Inquires fer Dredges
Last winter one of the Scuttle news;-up*, r.
noted the fact that there had been more in
quiry from Western Ala-ka as to the cv>:
of iiislall; ticu and i-j crati- n of dredges than
ever before, and it was intimated that sev- |
era! new ones were to be installed, although
the locations wore not given. Recently The
Pioneer announced that a dredge was to bo
installed on Candle civ ek, in the Kusko
kwim district, and it \< said that the ma
chine is now on its wry to the scene of it*
future operatic ns, to be installed during the
• i _ inter. Fcr sevt ral \e ars past tli re
has been talk of installing dredge- in the;
Ophir district, and it now appears that ar
rangements are well under way for placing j
one cf :he machines cn Yankee creek, where
options have been taken upon extensive
area'.
A prospective Installation
It has been whispered around for some ■
time that a dredge is to be installed on a
promising creek near the center of the dis
trict which has developed extensive depos
its of low-grade gravels, and while nothing
definite ceil be learned, it would not be at
all si,! prising were the news made public ai
any time. It is known that options have j
been secured recently by well-known oner- ■
atcrs on many of the claims on this un
named creek, anti it i- said their intention
is to install the dredge in the near future. '•
New Dredge for Otter Creek
At the present time there is a dredge
in transit to this district fur installatic® on
Otter creek or some one of its tributaries.
It is said to be expected at Dikeman at any
moment, if it is not already there, and i.
to be operated by Riley & Marston or one
of the subsidiary partnerships of that firm.
Last fall consider! ble new ground was ac
quired by that well-known mining firm,
the holdings of James Chronister and Cas
per Ellingcn being included. It ts thought
probable that the ground so acquired is to
be worked by the new dredge. No informa
tion is obtainable as to the size or capacity
of the machine, but it is said to be a small
dredge of the pattern now operated by Riley
& Marston and using fuel oil or distillate.
It is said that it will be installed immedi
ately.
Unexplainable Secrecy
One of the features of all these reported
developments is the unexplainable secrecy
maintained in connection with them. In
; most new countries, and especially in nun
| ing communities, news of contemplated
I developments are heralded to the world
j as an evidence of the faith which capital
| has in the country and its resources. Not
so in this district, however. It cannot be
that the modesty of the operators is re
sponsible for this, as none of them is known
to be of a meek and lowly disposition. But
the fact remains that the mining news of
the Iditarod district is guarded by the men
who put their capital, energy and brains
into their operations as though it repre
sented some state secret, the revelation of
which would mean death and destruction
to the one who allowed the press to gain
! an intimation of what was going on.

BILL EXCLUDES ASIATICS
WITHOUT GIVING OFFENSE
WAS HI.VGTON. May 20. To inert
Japan’s objection to having the -n-ciil'u
“gentlemen's agreemetlt tor the reuriciini:
i : in migration enacted into law in the
pen lias immigrate i: bill, the senate im
migration committee has agreed upon an
amendment which removes the Javanese
entirely from the bill, but aecompli -hes
Auntie c\: hi.-ion otherwise by a -pecifica
ti n of laiitu.de and 1 mgitude which wili
take in China, Siberia, India and the i.-hmds
of the Malay archipelago, with the exri-pti i:
of the Philippir.es, It leaves mimigratiuii
from Japan to be governed entirely by the
Root-Takahira agreement. The change b
understood to bp satisfactory to the state
department.
Representations were made that the en
actmcnt of an agreement which Japan had
entered up n honor to fulfill was repugnant
to the Japanese government, as was the
cl .s.-incati n wilh Hindus and others to be
excluded.
The senate committee adopted this pro
vision :
'■'Unless otherwise provided for by exist
ing treaties persons who are native-- of
i-lond- n t possessed by the United States
adjacent to the continent, of Asia situated
south of the twentieth parallel of latitude,
northwest of the sixteenth meridian of
longitude east from Greenwich, and north
of the tenth parallel of latitude south, or
who i re natives of any country, province or
dependency situate on the continent of Asia
west of the liOtfa meridian of longitude
ca«t from Greenwich, and east of the fifti
eth meridian t.f longitude east from Green
wich, except that portion cf said territory
situate by the fiftieth and the sixty-fourth
meridians of longitude east from Greenwich,
and the twenty-fourth and thirty-eighth
parallels of latitude north.”
Tram the great block of territory in cen
tral Asia the only country excepted from
the blanket exclusion is Persia. Restriction
on immigration from Persia is imposed,
however, by a special treaty. That por
ti n of China along most of its sea coaot
is not included in the “excluded" territory,
but the Chinese exclusion laws of this coun
try, it is explained, would be applicable to
Chinese.

FIRST VISITOR ARRIVES

William Schirmeyer, the genial all-around
athlete of the Halfway roadhouse, arrived
in the city early yesterday morning from
Dikeman, and is probably the first man to
arrive for the big Fourth of July celebra

first choice in the way of high-class amuse

entertainment has always been a little shy
in Alaska, he takes in whatever comes.
