MORGAN OFFERS EO SELL OR
LEASE COPPER RIVER RAILROAD
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—The real object of the
visit of John Pierpont Morgan to the secretary of the in
terior came out this afternoon when the great financier
offered to sell or lease the Copper River and Northwes
tern railroad system in Alaska.
In reply to his offer Lane told him that he could not
take into consideration any offer of the kind until the re
port of the board of engineers.who are now making sur
veys in Alaska is laid before him. He particularly laid
stress on the fact that until that report is furnished he
could not consider any proposal for the acquisition ot ex
isting lines. Morgan then pointed out the advantages, as
he called them, to the government it it purchased the
Copper River railroad and he assured the secretary that
the road is available to the government at terms which he
saw no difficulty in meeting.
Nothing definite came of the interview so far as can
be learned. That the administration will now take the
matter under consideration is certain but in speaking to
Morgan the secretary is said to have answered in a gen
eral way and to have all the time spoken of purchasable
“railroads" and not ot one railroad.

MATTERS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—Pierpont
Morgan arrived in Washington today
for conference with Secretary Lane
of the interior regarding conditions
in Alaska and particularly conditions
relating to the construction of govern
ment railroads in the territory. It is
reported that the Morgan interests
would offer to sell certain properties
to the government for use in c >nnec
tion with the government railroads
soon to be constructed. It is assumed
that the properties are chiefly the
Copper River railroad but of this
nothing is known and the rumor is
merely an assumption.

WICKERSHAM FEARED
HIGH COAL PRICE
His Speech In The House Arrives And
Clears Up The Question As To
His Position
A copy of the speech of Delegate
Wickersham in the house has arrived
by mail and serves to show distinctly
the causes of his objections to some
parts of the bill, or rather, to one
part of it. It is evident that he was
favorable to the bill as a whole but
that he feared it provided no check
on lessees in fixing the price of the
product. He proposed an amendment
which would have prevented the les
sees from raising the price of the
coal to an exorbitant figure. He de
clared in answer to a question that
the coal from the eastern states would
have no effect in regulating the
prices charged for Alaska coal in this
territory.
NEWS NOTES
At least two most important min

sirous of keeping the facts quiet un
til everything has been completely

LONDON.—English strategists as
sert that the value of the Kiel canal
has been discounted considerably by
the developments of the present war,
and declare that it has, if anything;
rendered the German fleet more im
mobile than it might otherwise have
been.
It was Beresford’s contention that
Denmark would never be safe so long
as Germany held this important
water-way across the Danish penin
sula, and he hoped to see the day
when it, together with Schleswig
Holstein, would be restored to Den
mark.
Enumerating* other obligations
which he said would fall upon the al
lies if they defeated German, he said
the first duty would be to Belgium,
which would have to be amply reward
ed for the wrongs it had suffered. He
said he would then have “the great
Krupps plant destroyed and all Ger
man forts razed.”
