KAISER MAY ABDICATE
AS PLAY FOR SYMPATHY
The abdication of the German emperor is
forecasted by the former German magis
trate who wrote the celebrated book, "J'Ac
cuse," in an interview published in Ouvre,
says a dispatch from Peris. He says: j
“The kaiser is .obsessed with the thought
that he is responsble for the war, a thought
which poisons his whole existence. He feels
that he is menaced by the three enemies
at home, without counting those abroad
first, the crown prince, the real author of
the war; second, the junker pan-Germanist ]
(you cannot imagine the smouldering hatred j
of the emperor for those whom he believes |
to be the maniacs who are driving him into .
an abyss) ; third, the people, not the Socialist i
party, but the people who are starving and i
who he feels are growing in number and
rising little by little against those who or- j
ganized by the war. |
"The other day at the meeting of the par- j
liamentary presidents and the ministers of [
the federal sovereigns, at which the sub
marine warfare was decided upon, the strug
gle between the kaiser’s party and that of :
Von Tirpitz was most bitter. The majority ;
against the emperor was so greet, however,
that he was obliged to submit and pretend i
that he was convinced.
“In particular he was personally opposed
to a break with President Wilson, but he
was forced to consent. Documents will be ;
published one day which will prove that
secretly he did everything not to bring j

| America down upon him, and that he con
' skiers that the rupture was an irreparable
| mistake. The failure of the submarine war
j will soon show that he was right, but it will
be too late.
“The people he fears most are the anti
militarists, anti-Prussian libera! republicans,
who want the reichstag to be based on
universal suffrage. That is why Wilhelm
is so anxious to convince the nation that
he did not want war. Ail his protestations
are made to appease the Liberals, and his
famished and ruined subjects whose num
bers are growing stronger.
“He wants to continue popular at any
price, and that is why he spoke the first
word of peace. The people were grateful
for it. but th esubmarine war came and
spoiled everything.
“It is hsrd to realize how the emperor,
who enjoyed a popularity unexampled in
our epoch, suffers in his pride. He alone,
perhaps, in Germany knows the whole truth,
since he alone has in his possession the
elements for forming a judgment in the sit
uation as a whole. How can he rest, mor
ally and physically, under such a strain?
Certainly he hopes something, but less and
less, for the success of the unrestricted sub
marine warfare which he opposed. He sees
the isolation of Germany become more and
more complete.
“Once he tried to initiate peace negotia
tions and failed. To try again would be
to admit and proclaim to the world, but
above all to the German people, which he
fears most, Germany’s real situation. If the
allies solemnly declared, as they did with
Napoleon in 1815, that they would refuse
to treat for peace with the Hohenzoilerns,
it would he a knockout blow. Our German
people, who still believe in him, would aban
don him, for peace at any price will soon
be the unanimous and hidden thought of
tortured Germany.
“What recourse is left to him but a
dramatic abdication in order to retain the
sympathies of the German people and save
the political future of Prussia? He will
say: ‘I sacrifice myself to make peace.
Without me, those only are responsible who
desired a savage war and the complete iso
lation of Germany; those who took at the
beginning my son as their party leader and
forced me to mobilize, a measure I hesi
tated to take.’ ”

A Bachelor's Diversion
A. C. Cotton of Katalla puts in his spare
hours every winter making patchwork quilts
of silk. His latest one contains more than
7,000 pieces of silk, earh one of which is
surrounded by fancy stitches. The filling
is of lamb’s wool and the backing of fine
silk. He has been offered $150 for it.
Cotton allows neither the hand nor the
mind of woman to enter into the making
of his quilts, according to a Seward Gate
way correspondent. Cotton is a bachelor.
Valuable Wolfskin
Jim Rison. who bought the pelt of the
first wolf killed near Katalla, took the
skin to Seattle, where, it is stated, several
furriers offered him $250 for it. claiming it
to be a rare hide. Jim paid only $20 for
the skin, and has written all his friends
to stop work and go wolf-hunting. The
skin was long-haired, glossy black in color,
and had tan markings on the breast and
feet.
A Sight to Cause Men to Weep
Before a crowd of interested spectators on
Second avenue, near Washington, Deputy
United States Marshal Isaac Evans destroyed
205 gallons of high-grade whisky yesterday
afternoon, says the Seward Gateway of
March 28. The liquor was shipped to Sew
ard in the name of “Captain H. B. Peter
sen,” and was seized on the ground that
it was sent to a false consignee, no man
of that name applying for it. After keep
ing it in storage for several months it was
ordered destroyed by the court. The liquor
was in small kegs, and after being emptied
out the kegs were commandeered as fine
receptacles for salt fish. One or two in the
crowd almost w'ept at the “wanton waste”
in tha face of the coming dry years, and one
burst forth with the lament that he “never
expected to live to see such a sight.”

Old-Timer Protects Colony of Beaver
Out on the Knik trail to the Willow
Creek mines road, at Mile 23p2, is the
home of one of the finest old-timers in
Alaska—no other than the well-known
‘‘Forty-Mile Miller, says a coast exchange.
He has a beautiful place on the Little Su
sitna river, good buildings erected, and a
fine farm started. Near his ranch, for some
unaccountable reason, the beavers have se
lected a portion of the flat as a home,
and there is at that point, perhaps, one of
the largest beaver colonies extant. And Mr.
Beaver, when he selected “Forty-Mile” for
a neighbor, was wise for his years. No
better friend could have been selected. Mr.
Miller is a miner, and not a trapper. When
a little more than a year ago Miller found
some steel traps near he beaver dam, he
stated that the owner could have them by
calling at his place, but if he imagined that
he was going to get any beaver out of that
pond he had another guess coming. Mr.
Miller said that during the previous sum
mer he believed that he had seen as many
as a thousand beaver working on their
project at one time, and he had many in
teresting stories to tell of the industrious
little animals and their habits. If anyone
wants to go up there and do some pho
tographing next summer it is believed that
it can be arranged, but people are advised
not to go there for the purpose of securing
specimens.

CZAR SHOWED PATRIOTISM
WHEN NEWS OF REVOLUTION
WAS ABRUPTLY GIVEN HIM
The history of the last hours of Emperor
Nicholas as ruler of Russia is related by a
correspondent of the Outro Rossii of Mos
cow as follows, according to a Petrograd
dispatch of March 19, via London:
"Two trains arrived at the station at
Vishera, on the Moscow-Petrograd railroad,
125 miles southeast of Petrograd, on the
night of March 14. One train carried the
emperor's suite, the second the emperor,
General Baron Fredericks, minister of the
imperial house, and Admiral Niloff, General
Zabel and others. Nicholas, called from
headquarters by the empress, was on the
way to Tsarskoe-Selo.
“None of the telegrams about the revo
lution sent by President Rodzianko of the
duma had reached the emperor. Every ef
fort was made to keep him in ignorance of
these affairs. General Zabel protested, de
claring that if the others refused to inform
the emperor he would do so. Nicholas,
who had been sleeping, was awakened at
2 o’clock in the morning. He went to the
dining car and demanded that Admiral
Niloff tell him what had happened in Petro
grad. He was told that a crowd of students,
hoodlums and young soldiers had terrorized
the duma, but that a few detachments of
troops would be able to put them down.
General Tells Him the Truth
“Just then Commander Veyekoff of the
imperial train entered with a telegram stat
ing that 700 of hte St. George cavalry
were on the way to Tsarskoe-Selo to present
a cross to the emperor, and had arrived at
the near-by station of Dno, headed by Gen.
Ivanoff.
“ ‘Your majesty,’ said Veyekoff, ‘it is
enough that you appear at Tsarskoe-Selo in
the midst of these heroes and with the
Tsarskoe-Selo garrison go to the duma. All
the troops will remember their oath. It
will be easy to overcome these young sol
diers.’
“ ‘It is a lie, your majesty,’ shouted Gen.
Zabel. ‘You are deceived. Read these tele
grams. Here is the order: “To the imperial
train at Vishera: Do not send the train to
Tsarskoe-Selo, but to Petrograd.” ’
“The emperor arose and exclaimed: ‘What
does this mean? Is it revolution? Ls
Grekoff (who signed the order to divert
the train) commander in Petrograd?’ Then
General Zabel spoke out, saying: ‘There
are 00.000 troops, with officers, backing the
temporary government. Tour majesty has
been dethroned. It is impossible to go fur
ther.’
Bowi to Will of People
“Nicholas, completely nonplussed, ex
claimed: “Why was I not told before? Why
tell me now, when all is finished? Thank
God, I will abdicate if that is what the peo
ple want. I will go to Livadia (the estate
■ if the Russian imperial family on the south
coast of the Crimea), to my gardens. I
am so fond pf flowers.'
“The train moved toward Bologoie. At
Dno a telegram was received stating that
the Tsarskoe-Selo garrison had revolted and
that the empress had appealed to the duma
for protection. Nicholas pondered the situ
ation, then said: ‘I shHull go to Moscow.
Mrosovski (commander of the Moscow gar
rison I used to say Moscow always would
defend me.’
"At Bologoie a telegram was received
stating that the Moscow garrison had joined
the revolution. The train returned to Dno,
where it met the train bearing General
Ivanoff. The general related everything
which had taken place, adding: ‘There is
only one thing to do now. It is to open the
Dvina front to the Germans and let them
quiet the canaille.’
Scorns Proposed Treachery
“Nicholas rejected the suggestion, ex
claiming angrily: ‘I shall never become a
traitor to my country.'
“Then Nicholas broke down and wept.
After a moment he said: ‘If only I knew
my wife and children were safe I would go
to Livadia quietly to finish my life and let
Michael govern the country. He is well
liked by the people. I will sign my abdi
cation and then go back to the army, say
good-by to the soldiers and let them do
as they like. I will not stand in the way.’
“The last colloquy occurred on the sta
tion platform, Nicholas, who was dressed
in a soldier’s coat, with a colonel’s shoulder
straps, and a sheepskin hat tilted back, fre
quently mopping his brow. He gazed about
in an abstracted manner and then mounted
the steps of his car. Thereupon the train
moved off.’’
A Pathetic Farewell
The arrival of the former emperor at
Tsarskoe-Selo palace is described by a Reu
ter’s dispatch from Petrograd as follows:
“Alighting from the train at Tsarskoe
Selo, Nicholas appeared calm, but was hag
gard. He wore the flowing uniform of the
Sixth Kugan regiment of Cossacks and a
black busby. Around his shoulders was a
purple muffler, and he had a Cossack dag
ger in his belt. Pinned on the breast of
the former monarch was the Order of St.
George. Nicholas was accompanied by
Prince Dolgouroff.
“Nicholas was awakened while on board
the train at 9 o’clock, and entered the din
ing room about 10. He invited his suite
to have morning coffee with him, and con
versed with them for an hour. He then
bade farewell to his suite and the servants,
kissing ail of them. The servants kissed
him on the shoulder. Addressing those about
him, Nicholas said:
“‘I thank you for your services. Fare
well.’
“The four commissioners from the duma
whom the government sent to Mohilev to
arrest the former emperor were received by
General Alexieff, to whom they showed their
mandate. Their arrival caused no excite
ment at headquarters. Nicholas stepped
aboard the imperial train, where the dow
ager empress bade him farewell. General
Alexieff informed Nicholas of the commis
sioners’ arrival, and he replied:
“ ‘I am ready to go anywhere and sub
mit to any decision.’
“Rear Admiral Niloff was refused per
mission to travel with the former emperor
by the commissioners. A silent crowd wit
nessed the departure of the train, which
consisted of ten carriages.
"A letter received here from Mohilev
says that while Nicholas was there a pro
cession of the Knights of the Order of
St. George marched to his quarters with a
red flag on which was emblazoned the word
‘Liberty,’ and with a band playing the
‘Marseillaise.’ ”
Why Armies Deserted
Prince Peter Kropatkin, the aged Russian
exile, who has attained international fame
because of his revolutionary teachings, has
given the London Times an interesting
statement as to why the great Russian
armies joined the revolt. He says in part:
“The revolution which broke out in Pet
rograd was, of course, the result of a long
struggle against autocracy. Matters came
to a crisis by the complete disorganization
to which the life of the people had been
brought by the continual changes of minis
ters, owing to the influences that prevailed
at the court. It was evident, not only to
those in close contact with the administra
tion, but also to the mass of the popula
tion, that if this state of affairs continued
longer Russia would unavoidably be run
ning toward a great disaster.
“The agricultural population, feeling that
there was no security in the life of the
country, refused to bring provisions to the
city, and the army began to feel that the
support it had received from the whole of
the Russian nation, especially since the sale
of spirits had been prohibited, was going
to be disorganized totally.
“The campaign begun by Minister Pro
topopoff against the two unions of the
zemstvos and municipalities added to the
discontent.
“The two unions had taken care of the
hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers,
whom they took from the bases behind the
battlefield lines to distribute them in hos
pitals created all over Russia. In addi
tion, they organized in the rear of the fight
ing lines medical supplies and necessaries
for the army, as well as tents, hot baths
and feeding stands, and had won the sym
pathies of the army by their continuel care
for the needs of the soldiers.
“Protopopoff decided to destroy these
unions. He prohibited their general meet
ings and ordered that at every committee
meeting an officer (who might report every
thing to the Germans) should be present.
“This continual discord explains why the
army so rapidly joined he revolt,”
TRY UNDERGROUND DREDGE
Arrangements are being made to try out
again the underground dredge on Fairbanks
creek, according to the News-Miner. Last
year the trouble seemed to be that the plant
did not have sufficient power to operate the
dredge, and this has been remedied, so that
the owners feel confident that it will make
a good showing.
