UNOFFICIAL REPORT
KERENSKY QUITS
"WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11.—
An unoll eial report was received
this afternoon shortly after one
o’clock that Kerensky and his ca
binet had resigned their offices.
Since then this report lias
in a measure and with one import
ant qualification been confirmed.
This is to the effect that while the
cabinet of Kerensky quit upon the
first sign of real trouble, the in
exorable prime minister still re
mains in office and signifies his in
tention of dispersing the Karniloff
army and hanging the leader for
bis rebellion.
STOCKHOLM. Sept. 11.—An un
confirmed report has reached h»r<\
in three successive dispatches that
Premier Kerensky has been murd
ered by nis enemies in Petrograd.
This is not official however.
LONDON, Sept. 11.—The Rus
sian situation grows more and
more desperate. With the Hermans
moving upon the capital and the
enemy making smart headway, Gen
era! Kurniloff has refused to re
sign and to recognize the right of
Kerensky to direct his resignation.
Karniloff who is a Russian peasant
who rose front the ranks, and is
representative of some of the most
extreme wings of the Russian fac
tions, declares that ite only ac
cepted the office of commander-in
chief on condition that Ins author
ity would be supreme
Kerensky's meddling with the
leading officers lie insists is re
sponsible for the loss of morale
among the soldiers and the dis
content of the people among the
workers.
KarniloT and Kerensky are both
the strongest men in Uussia and
their abilities are undoubtedly
great. The Nation which foresaw
tiiis crisis quotes Marx to the effect
! that between equal rights and
1 strength force will decide.
.ft is realized that these struggles
were’ inevitable and i* w.s ex
j pccted that they would come ear
! lier.
TETROGRAD, Sept. 11.—Some
thing like chaos has resulted from
the fact that General Kornilotf re
fused to accept the orders of
Kerensky and to surrender his chief
command, declaring himself Gover
or instead. Kerensky began repa
rations today to attack Korniloff
who is reported to be leading a
hostile army against the capital,
intending to destroy the dictator
ship which the Premier Kerensky
established with the consent of the
Provisional Govenrment.
A battle is expected at Lugu some
85 miles away.
The situation is made worse by
the fact that General Vasilowsky,
the military governor of Pctro
grad under Kerensky together with
the entile cabinet lias resigned.
Kerensky and t lie directors of
the provisional government are now
in supreme eon maud. Kerensky
has issued an appeal for the sup
port and active loyalty of the peo
ple that the revolution so glorious
ly establishing Russian freedom
may not be shaken by rebellious
citizens whose ambition over
reaches their love of treedom.
Kerensky gives no sign of con
corn at the serious situation and
openly rays that he anticipates
little troul le in dispersing the re
volutionists.
PETROGIIAD, Sept. 11.—Tlie
grim resolution of the Kerensky
directorate to resist Karniloff to
tin last ditch is manifest in the ela
borate preparations which lie i
making (o control the situation.
A large force is now in battle
array at Luga and Karniloff must
overcome this before reaching the
capital.

The strike was made by Captain
Back, a veteran Yukoner, who
worked quiety on the ground ami
later got Juneau miners interested.
These staked several claims and
others also arrived there and stiked
locations. Quite a local movement
has started in this direction and it
is probable that one hundred and
fifty claims are now staked. These
are chiefly on Kitchener and Sey
mour creeks and tributaries.
Eight miles of Seymour are al
ready staked and it is stated that
two cents pans have been found on
the surface gravels along that creek
for two to four miles, but sc far
no report of anyone reaching bed
rock has come out. Several out
fits are beginning to woalc in a de
termined manner according to lat
est reports from the strike and
much prospecting is expected this
winter.
The main creek is from ten to
fifteen miles long. It flows into
Big Creek thirty five miles from
the Yukon river. Big Creek pa
rallels Selwyn creek for quite a
ways. Gold prospects were found
there many years ago but the sur
face colors were too light to at
tract attention in the early clays.
A number have always been rock
ing since on Selwyn and tribu
taries.

from Dawson, connecting here with
passengers who left Seattle going
down the liver on September 11.

TEUTON U BOAT
SUNK BY SHELLS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11.—
lie Navy Department announced
today the result of an engagement
off the coast of France between six
American merchant vessels and a
flotilla of submarines which were
lying in wait for the u n or.vevrd
r [uadron of merchantmen.
One German submarine was
sunk in the battle that ensued and
two American steamers were sent
to the bottom.
The steamers had been convoyed’
;.i ross the Atlantic by destroyers’
hut these regarding the merchant-1
i ,n as safe off the coast of France I
proceeded to return to tin ir pa
trols.
The U boats which had been
watching these movements after
the destroyers left suddenly (ante
on top and attacked the mcr< hunt
men.
The merchantmen wlihh were
armed quickly replied to tin tire
of the U boats. Two ships re
sunk, the fate of the crews being so
far unknown”. "Sufficient infor
mation is at hand”, it is olhcial'y
announced, “to know that tin Am
erican seamen covered themsoh s
with glory”.
The battle was raging when iho
destroyers hastened to the rescue,
the merchantmen sinking one sub
marine before tlie rest were put to
flight by the ships which they hail
been convoying.
The first dispatch announced that
si\ submarines had been uttk but
Secretary Daniels announced that
this is incorrect, that there were
some other 1' boats hit by gunfire
but only one is known to have been
definitely sunk. The submarines
.juicklv submerged upon the de
stroyers entering the battle.
WASHINGTON, D. Sept. 11.—
The great Revenue Bill of ever two
billion four hundred million dollars
was sent back to the House whence
it came by the Senate with a hatful
of amendments inserted, and a
number of House amendments mak
ing the levying of income and pro- j
iit tax higher than it was in the
| bill emerging from the Kite-bin
' Committee, eliminated.
The progressives announce that,
they are determined to carry the;
fight for levies upon big incotm s j
and upon war profits to the last .
; ditch. In tiiis they declare th
have th> country with tin. .1 ami,
that they do not intend to let the
reactionary senate bill get by with-!
- - •" -°~™
out considerable change. This
stand is annoying many who are
anxious for busim ss to get along
with a rush. It is admitted that
the reactionary senators were able
to remove considerable opposition
to the bill by the de.duration that
it was imperative that during the
war the government measures must
he expedited and that obstruction
ists and enemies to the administra
tion were idoutii nl and inttrehange
ahle terms.
Since the debates begun in the
Senate, the members of the House
have been keeping their ears to the
ground in their constituent it-.; and
it is what they heard there that its
stiffening their hack bone for the
fight which tlioy propose to make.
It is undeniably correct that this
will tit lay the measure and that
there will he an immense squabble
in the House and also before the
eonl't ram e cmimituo which is like
ly to become deadlocked over the
situation or may report a bill which
the majority in the House will not
approve of in any way.
The administration is not plea.soil
with the delay, although it can bo
delayed with less irk to the govern
ment than any other measure ill
tonncction with the war. A good
' many hold that there is much poli
tics in tile fight made on the senate
1 bill.
