GERMANS BOMBARD MADRAS
CALCUTTA, Sept. 24.—'The German cruiser Emden
bombarded the city of Madras yesterday for fifteen min
utes but very little damage was done and the cruisei soon
departed and steamed in the direction of Pondichenj
where French warships are said to be waiting foi hei. The
bombardment caused the greatest excitement, naturally,
when it was commenced and the audacity of the of the
dend is the talk of all India today.
ANOTHER TRAWLER LOST
LONDON. Sept. 24.—Another Grimsby Trawler was
blown up today in the North Sea by a mine but all the
crew were saved with the exception of one man. The in
dignation of the British public is now coming to a limit
and very little mercy will be shown to mine layers that fall
into the hands of the allies. Germany is the only nation
that refused to sign the Hague agreement against laying
mines and the reason for the refusal is now becoming veij
evident.
CRY DOWN WITH THE KAISER
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 24.—“We want peace. Down
with the Kaiser”. This cry was posted over the dead walls
of Berlin yesterday in spite of the efforts of the authori
ties to prevent it. The posters were printed and posted by
the Syndicalists who have taken the place of the Social
ists in most of the countries of Europe. They are men
who were formerly socialists but got new idea which they
believed the word socialist did not sufficiently describe.
They are now stronger in Europe than the socialists
themselves.
FRANCE PREPARES FOR WINTER
BORDEAUX. Sept. 24.—War Minister Millerand has
issued a request to all the prefects of all the departments
of France to secure at once warm clothing wherever pos-j
sible for use by the French soldiers during the winter’s
campaign. This request shows that a campaign through
out the winter cannot he avoided. Some time ago it was
hoped that the Germans would be driven back from
France so quickly that the war would soon be ended but
this hope is now evidently abandoned. The war minister
requests that the prefects to obtain woolen under clothes,
socks, gloves and blankets and all the other necessary ar
ticles for winter. ,,ui aS.&iLWIif

REPORT GERMAN DEFEAT
PETROGRAD, Sept. 24.—It is reported unofficially
that the Russian army has inflicted a severe defeat on the
Germans at Subi and that the Russians have occupied the
city of Soldau. It is also reported that the Germans are
evacuating East Prussia for the purpose of strengthening
I their lines between Thorn and Kalisz. The latter place is
in Russian Poland where the Germans evidently intend to
fight instead of fighting in German territory. All this in
formation comes from the most reliable sources and the
general opinion is that the enemy will concentrate all his
; power into the effort to prevent the Russians from march
i ing towards Berlin. Soldau which the Russians have oc
cupied is on the border but is a town of great importance
mostly Polish.
CHOLERA IN AUSTRIAN ARMY
LONDON, Sept. 24.—The report that cholera has
broken out in the Austrian army has been confirmed and
the most awful of all dangers now threatens the great
host of men in the field. Some of the most eminent doctors
of Vienna have volunteered to go to the front to strive to
stamp out the disease but the close proximity of such tre
mendous numbers of men to each other is regarded as al
most making it certain that a frightful epidemic will re
sult.
TRIED TO BLOW UP JAPANESE WARSHIP
TOKIO, Sept. 22.—The fact that an attempt was made
by a Japanese sailor to blow up the Japanese battleship
Nisshin in November, 1912, has been brought to light by
the recent conviction of and execution of death sentence
upon the guilty seaman. Two men were killed and seven
teen wounded in the explosion which failed, however, to
destroy the warship.
The seaman was Sankichi Furuta, a second warrant
ollicer of the Nisshin, and, according to his ultimate con
fession the motive of the act was revenge. He declared
that inferior men had been promoted over him. He there
fore plotted to destroy the ship and all on board. He
ignited a heavy charge of powder while the warship was
at Shizuoka.
The real cause of the disaster was rigorously kept se
cret. Naval authorities explained that the powder at the
magazine had accidentally exploded. Meanwhile Furuta
was secretly arrested and submitted to cross examination
at a naval court martial. After nearly ten months’ in
quiries the examination was recently brought to an end
and judgment of death pronounced.

REPORTED LARGE DEALS
ARE GOING THROUGH
There is a persistant rumor in Sew
ard to the effect that a couple of big
mining deals are in the course of be
ing consummated in Moose Pass min
ing property. Interested parties re
fuse to say anything either one way ■
i or the other but it is a well known
fact that one of them is one of the
largest deals that have ever been
pulled off on the Kenai peninsula. It j
| is to be hoped that both deals go
through as they are on ground that
is practically demonstrated and with
the infusion of sufficient capital will
be developed into producing proper-!
ties in another year. The parties i
making the deals are understood to!
represent sufficient capital to go right1
through and equip and develop the
properties without the delay of finan
cing the deal on the outside.

After vainly attempting to get a

all day yesterday, Harry Smith and!
Alderman, two well-known bear hunt
ers. armed with bear guns left last
night for Bear lake to enjoy a couple
days bear hunting. In case they run
into a bear or even seen bear tracks
or bear igns it is a bare possibility
that they will barely beat the bear in
to Seward. If they don’t see a bear
they arc expected home tomorrow
night.

FROST CLOSES DOWN
FRANK YOUNGS PLANT
Frank E. Youngs arrived last night
from Cooper creek where the plant
has been closed down for the season
on account of the tightening of the
water. While the work that has been
done this year has been largely in the
nature of prospecting and developing
a possible pay streak, they have taken
out some pretty good money and
have demonstrated that Cooper creek
is going to be a gold producer for
years to come.
Mr. Youngs will remain in Seward
until Saturday, when he will return to
the property and spend a couple of
1 months in further prospecting and
hunting in that locality.
