NEW JAP PREMIER
BIG FIGHTING MAN
TOKIO, Oct. 4.—Great interest
Attaches to the Mikado’s selection
of field Marshal Terauchi to succeed
Count Okuma as the Premier of
Japan. The choice is quite unex
pected and the people hold that it
indicates a strong imperialistsic po
licy is thereby foreshadowed.
Terauchi was formerly Governor
General of Korea and is of the high
est rank in the army and has the
reputation of being a spirited fight,
er Military leaders have bowed to
his opinion on all questions of army
! organization. It is known that he is
a strong militarist, favoring an ag
gresive policy of expansion and espe
cially with reference to China.
TOKIO, Oct. 4.—One paper com
menting upon the selection of Ter
auchi as Prime Minister says that
the Japanese army will soon be
marching upon Peking.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. .4—
A strong Japanese foreign policy is
anticipated. Viscount Kato has been
appointed to succeed Terauchi as
Governor of Korea. The change
in the administration at Tokio is re
ceiving now the attention of the
State Department, especially with
the possilbe efTect it may have upon
the Japanese policy in the Far East
, and China.
Marshal Terauchi is known as a
Russomaniac and is a strong up
holder of the Anglo-Japanese alli
ance. He urged taking a more ac
tive part in the European war
months ago.
GREAT STRIKE STILL
STIRS NEW YORK
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—The great
strike still continues in the traction
industry and the employees are hold
ing out well. Strikebreakers are still
operating the cars and it is admit
ted that the number of old hands
that have applied for re-employment
and withdrawn from the strike is
lower than had been expected. This
admission is contained in the state- j
ment that the traction company was
taking steps to give permanent em
ployment to a number of the new
men who had been only engaged for
special service.
There has been frequent rioting
throughout the city, guards, scabs
and strikers and their sympathizers
mixing it, with the police making
many arrests. Guns have been used
by the guards while the strikers
have retaliated with the use of
stones.
The milk situation following the
strike is very serious, a famine prac
tically prevailing by reason of the
drivers’ strike. Mitchel and the
distributors held a prolonged confer
ence today, it is understood that
the mayor was endeavoring to dis
pose of the questions existing be
tween the drivers and their em
ployers.
A great woman’s parade is be
ing organized to be held in the near
future by all the striking forces,
Mother Jones to be the active leader
for the unionists.
The cars are still running out of
schedule and irregularly.

CHEERING CROWDS GREET
WILSON THROUGH OHIO
ALLIANCE, Ohio, Oct. 4.—Here,
as at other points of stopping, Wil
son on his way to tour the middle
west said that he could not make
any political speech until he reach
ed Omaha. The ovations extended
Wilson are nothing short of astound
ing, the enthusiasm being probably
unequalled in any presidential
touring heretofore. Even the smal
ler stations held great crowds of
cheering masses as the train flew
past today.
CANTON, Oct. 4.—Passing
through here today thousands were
on hand to meet President Wilson
who is on his way to Omaha where
he is scheduled to deliver an ad
dress.
Wilson himself is not a little sur
prised and delighted at the spontan
eous enthusiasm with which he is
being greeted, although republicans
discount the value of these popular
demonstrations. He told the crowd
today that he was not going to
make a speech to them, but he could
not let their wonderful reception
pass without saying that the unex
pected hospitality with which he
had been greeted throughout the
great state of Ohio certainly did
warm his heart.
CANTON, Oct. 4.—President Wil
son authorized the press announce
ment here today that he would an
nounce the personnel of the eight
hour commission on Thursday next.
Wilson is clearly greatly pleased
with his reception everywhere.
MORE ALARMISTS REPORTS
PORLISHED ON MEXICO
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 4.—
After a short Interval of time allow
ing the public to recover from the
exposure of the false news sent out
concerning the alleged Villatist vic
tories in Chihuahua, the interven
tionist press again begins its activ
ities.
Today they were full of reports
all Inclining to show that the peace
commission must be a hopeless fail
ure and that active United States ln
NOMB DOG TEAMS AT DREAM.
One of the best northern photo
plays ever brought to the Dream
“The Wolf” will be tonight’s show.
This thrilling and realistic drama of
the Northern woods created a sen
sation on the outside, on account
of the Nome Dog teams used in this
masterpiece. Six parts of gorgeous
scenery, carefuly portraying the ear
ly trails of the Alaska pioneers,
with their log cabins and Hudson
Bay Posts. It is a great picture and
of special interest to the people of
Home.
tervention is all that can save the
situation.
It is alleged that "an official of
the State Department' says now that
mediation in Mexico is hopeless and
aB foolish as it is hopeless. An ef
fort to secure any confirmation of
this from the department officials
showed that they regarded the news
paper report as an interventionist
invention and said so In plain langu
age.
Notwithstanding this however the
evening interventionist papers have
dispatches from Mexico City wherein

it is stated that Arrendondo’s visit
to Carranza is a complete failure,
that the president of the de facto
government positively refuses to en
large the powers of the commission.
Another evening report that serves
to make the Mexican mediation
seem a failure is that also originat
ing from the same source as the
other alarmist reports, this stating
that Villa is dominating the situa
tion in Chihuahua and the retention
of the U. S. troops is therefore
necessary.

ALLIES AGAIN THRUST
LINES AHEAD WEST
LONDON, Oct. 4.—Fierce fighting
broke the silence of the dawn this
morning when both the French and
the British again thrust their in
fantry attacks forward almost with
out the usual artillery preparation.
In spite of this their losses were
very slight.
The French continued their heavy
forward movement northward from
the Peronne-Bapaume road and cap
tured the strong German defenses
from Morval to St. Vast.
The Germans made an obstinate
resistance but their machine gun fire
ceasing for some reason at the cru
cial moment the French took the
lines after heavy bayonet work.
The British after a stubborn bat
tle finally succeeded in expelling
the Germans from Rancourt and
they are now closer to Bapaume.
Germans are hastily rushing huge
levies to the front this evening, it
may be for a night attack.
PARIS, Oct. 4.—The fighting in
the west is again fierce and despe
rate with the Allies after a three
day rest resuming the offensive with
vigor this morning. The best sum
mary is that of the evening com
munique which generalizes the suc
cess in stating that the total push
advanced about a half a mile in the
direction of Bapaume. The German
positions north and east of Combles
have been taken.
CAMPAIGN IS SAID TO
RESEMBLE NINETY-SIX
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 4.—
The number of votes that the social
ists of both parties may take from
Wilson may be the deciding factor
in the general presidential cam
paign. The campaign is said to re
semble that of ’96 with both sides
focussing their efforts on the Middle
West which is now considered the
deciding factor. The Democrats
claim that districts normally repub
lican are now democratic and ad
mitting the loss of New York, for
the sake of argument, but which
they deny will be republican, they
still claim a big majority for Wil
son.
They claim that even the vaude
ville acts give Wilson the edge and
he is admittedly enormously popu
lar. The republicans on the other
hand say that it is just like the de
feat of Bryan by M’Kinley and de
clare that the Wilson “ovations”
have nothing on those extended the
Great Commoner at that time. They
declare that they have the electoral
votes safe and will surely land
Hughes with a big safe margin.
In fact the situation here is very
much as one wants to find it. By
consulting democrats Wilson has a
cinch, while by asking the opinions
of republicans Hughes is as good as
elected.
Consequently the opinion express
ed by some of the more conserva
tive Chicago papers that the election
will be very close seems practically
the truth. In fact Sam Blythe an
acute observer says it will be the
closest* election in history.
GERMANS BULGARS AND
TURKS INVADE DORRUDSCHA
LONDON, Oct. 4.—The Germans,
Bulgars and Turks along the Varna
road are now beginning the general
assault upon Dobudscha from which
they retreated but two days ago.
SOFIA, Oct. 4.—The Bulgars oc
cupied the Rumanian town of Ma
lakkafat. The Bulgar monitors are
destroying the Rumanian pontoons
along the Danube. •
LONDON, Oct. 4.—Bucharest dis
patches show no anxiety from the
victorious Rumanians over the al
leged destruction of the pontoons
Last evening the Grand Jury re
ported six true bills all against na
tives who are indicted for thefts of
brass from various places and
lamps. Some of the indicted ones

How long the Grand Jury will be
in session can only be conjectured.
Dne official view of it was that it
vould probably not last much long
er than today, while another version
stated that they were now beginning
to investigate matters might take
them some time and it would be
hard to tell when they would finish,
rhe Grand Jury had up Some of the

stricted district question which it is
reported is to be investigated, did
not leak out. As the Grand Jurors
have not yet started upon their tout

it is fair to conclude that they have
■till some other important matters
before them, as their inspection of
the public buildings etc is generally
the last work on their schedule.
across the Danube also indicate a
firm Rumanian control of the situa
tion.
LONDON, Oct. 4.—A mystery sur
rounds the number of troops invad
ing Bulgaria and no official report
is sent out. Bucharest evening dis
patches are silent regarding the Bul
gar occupation of the town of Ma
lakkafat near the Danube. It is tak
en here to indicate that the Bulgars
are frustrating the invasion of both
the Russians and Rumanians or are
attempting similar counter move
ments themselves. It is quite poss
ible that both are the facts of tho
case.
BERLIN, Oct. 4.—The great drive
in the Danubian provinces has be
gun against Rumania, a combined
force of Teutons, Bulgars and
Turks proceeding against the Ru
manians who are reinforced by a
small army of Russians. The drive
is making magnificent progress,
many villages being captured.

Under the auspices of the Alaska
Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce there will be an Alaskan
exhibit of farm products from
various sections of the northern ter
ritory.
