London, Jan. 10 ? It U now un
derstood that the Bulgan delegates
to the peace conference will resign,
and that their successors are to
be appointed at once, as a result of
their request to be relieved of a
hopeless task of pacification.
This action on the part of the
Bulgaran delegates is taken as the
first straw which shows the evi
dent futility of trying to bring bar
mony out of the situation, and
there la not a very optimistic feel
ing that peace will come of the
present conference, but perhaps war
to the deplorable end may be re
quired until the matter has reached
a bloody settlement.
Prom Adrlanople comes the re
port that the citizen soldiery have
been put on half rations on account
of the shortage of food.
New York, Jan. 10 ? Theo. Roose
velt has written a letter to Frank
Munsey which was made public to
day, replying to the suggestion that
the Progressives and the Republi
cans get together and decide on
peace terms. Mr. Roosevelt will
not talk of a consolidation with the
old Republican party. He says that
it has had its day, that it has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting, that the leaders can't be j
trusted, and the Progressive party i
does not need and does not want I
them.
Roosevelt insists that the Pro
gressive party has taken from the
Republican party all that Is good
and lasting value and that U can't
afford to deceive the followers of
progressivism by imposing upon
them anything that is unworthy.
He believes the new party will car
ry its principles to conviction at the
next presidential election and over
whelm everything that ever bore
the trade mark of republicanism so
far as that political organization Is
known today.
SALCHA COUNTRY PROM
1SF.S <MK)D THINGS
A news of some good showings
in the Salcha country was brought
to Fairbanks a few weeks ago by
WUliam F. Munson, the Salchaket
trader, who says that the region is
one of promise for the prospector,
and has been but scratched. It is
almost impossible to get provisions
into the district from the mouth
of the river, and for that reason
but few prospectors have attempted
to seek their fortunes in the little
tributary streams to the Salcha.
According to Mr. Munson, there
is more or less prospecting work
going on along the different streams
Both placer and quartz work is be
ing done, more of the former than
the latter being in evidence. The
quartz prospecting was given some
what of an impetus when Ed Owens
brought down a pokeful of big pla
cer nuggets that were literally cov
ered with quartz. Among those pros
pecting for the ledge from which
the nuggets apparently came Is Vic
tor Lundbuldt, the Fairbanks creek
| mining man.

vere grilling, but under which ho

nied that he ever had used his of

tain credit from litigants before

erties, us charged in the house in

ticipation in the now noted Katydid
culm bank deal with Edward J.
Williams, of Scranton, and the Hill

sidiary of the Erie railroad, which
then had cases pending in his
court, but he denied that he will
fully or unlawfully or corruptly
took any advantage of his position
to Induce the railroad officials to
deal with him and his partner.
The charge that Judge Archbald
had received large gifts of money
from Henry W. Cannon, a cousin
of his wife and a director of tho
Great Northern railway and other

Washington, Jan. 10 ? The Alas

months of its report to the presi
dent, announced through the chair
man, Major J. Jay Morrow, it would
be impossible to complete the re
port in time for the president to
present it to congress for consider
ation at this session.
The members say that the task ;
is much greater than they expected,
that the data which they obtained
in Alaska will complete voiumnsj
when worked out, the tabulation of
statistics is enormous and requires
a great amount of clerical work.
It Is generally agreed in Wash
ington that in case the commission
decides to recommend the purchase
by the government, of the Alaska j
Northern, thus following out the
recommendation of Secretary Fisher, |
that the Guggenheim interests will
fight the passage of any law or ap
propriation for that purpose.
John E. Bfcllalne of Seward, Al
aska, one of the men most Interest
ed In seeing the purchase by the
government of the Alaska Northern,
is in the city, representing the
Commercial Club of Seward. When
seen today by a reporter he said
that he was very much disappoint
ed that the railroad commission
could not mafce their report sooner
In his opiaion Seward is the only
practical routo for a line of rail
way to the Interior. He spoke In
high terms of regard for the mem
bership of the commission which
consists jf Chairman Major Jay J.
Morrow, of engineer corps, United
States army; Vice-Chairman Dr. Al
fred H. Brooks, in charge of min
eral resources, geological survey;
Leonard M. Cox, civil engineer,

Columbia suffragette parade, which
the "Vote# for Women" troops had
framed up as part of the military

tion of U'.wdrow Wilson.
Arrangements for the military
parade have been placed In charge
of Major-Oeneral Leonard Wood

ceived the idea of forming them
selves Into women military compan
ies and march for female equality
under the flaunting b*nn?r of the
"Skirt Army of Columbia ' Major
General Wood objected to the la
die* becoming a part of Us com
mand The matter waa taken up
with the war department and tha
advl?<> of Henry L. Btlmaon waa
nought. After aome dlarnaalon It
waa decided by the 1'alted Ma*?a
of America, through the war de
partment, that a military parade
waa not a millinery parade and that
according to the constitution, the
by-law* and the enabling rlauae,
women could not parade down

March, and that they would ha*e
to make tyranny tremble In aome
other manner

recently recountered by the com

only a patrol of the region would
make It safe. There was no other
safeguard possible, the commanders
said.
