I Bulgarians have now Tull control of the railroad between N ish

coming down the valley of the Morava, will soon be in posses
sion of the road from the Austrian frontier clear through to
Constantinople. The fighting will now center along that
Stretch of the railroad north of Nish. The Teutons have reach

RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 6—The en
tire newspaper plant and building of
the Raleigh News and Observer were
destroyed by fire Inst night. Practi
cally nothing was saved, as the fire
had gained great headway before the
department reached the scene and
their efforts were mainly confined to
■^saving the adjoining buildings. A
high wind was blowing at the time
making the work of the fire fighters
extremely difficult find they were
lucky to confine the flames to the
newspaper plant. The fire w-as one
of the most spectacular conflagrations
seen in this city for years. The news
paper has been one of the leading
Democratic journals of the state and
was owned and formerly edited by
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy in the present administration.
The loss will be $250,000.

DELEGATE OUTLINES WORK
WASHINGTON THIS WINTER
Delegate Wiekersham, who hasp
spent the past week in Cordova, will ‘ 1
leave on the Admiral Evans for Val- i
dez and Seward, before returning to
:
Washington to attend the opening of
Congress Monday, December 6.
Federal Building for Cordova.
The bill which Congress passed ap- ,
propriating $100,000 for a federal
build at Cordova, was introduced by ,
the Delegate and he has promised to
make every effort to have all objec
tions removed that early construction .
will be started. He will also endeavor i
to get money appropriated for public ;
buildings at Fairbanks, Juneau and
one or two other towns in Alaska.
y Additional Power For Legislature
Mr. Wiekersham will work to give
to the Alaska legislature additional i
powers, particularly in reference to
the fish and the game. There were a
few limitations in the Home Rule bill
as it passed the Congress of the United
States that were not in the original
bill. They were offered as amend
ments and they had to he accepted by
x the delegae or the bill would have
been defeated entirely. It is to remove
these amendments that he is going to
work to grant to the Alaska legislature
the power to fully protect the game
and the fish of the territory. He will
use his every effort to restore to the
bill those original provisions which
liad to be sacrificed.
Harbor At Nome.
The construction of a suitable har
* bor at Nome is considered by Dele
gate Wiekersham to be one of the
ntmost importance, as there is much
oss of life and property there annual
y. At the last session of Congress he
;ot the money necessary to survey the
larbor at Nome and the Wrangell
itraits. The money came out of the
fivers and Harbors appropriation. A
•eport will be rendered by the sur-|
•eyors and if these reports are favor
ible the delegate will fight to have
noney necessary for the carrying out
>f these two necessities apprropriafed.
Land Law Amendment.
According to his statement Dele
;ate Wlckersbam will seek to have
’ongress enact a law that will permit
nen who have used their homestead
privileges in the states to have a
second right in Alaska, that is, if a
nan has staked 160 acres of land in
he states, to allow him to stake an
>ther 160 in Alaska, or at least to
nake up the difference between the
lumber of acres he filed on in the
states, and 320 acres, which, under the
aw, he is entitled to homestead in
Alaska.
Statehood for Alaska.
A bill will be introduced in Con
tress by the Delegate granting state
lood for Alaska. Of course a consti
;utional convention would be neces
sary. Congress would have to appro
priate tfie money to hold such an elec
don, and the money to take the duly
plected delegates to the scene of the
pf the convention would also have to
be appropriated by the Congress of
he United States.
Local Development Board.
The Cordova Chamber of Commerce
ind other commercial bodies of Alas
ka have endorsed Secretary of Interior
Lane's plan of a "Development Board
for Alaska and Mr. Wickersham will
be a supporter of this measure.
In addition to the governor of Alas
ka and the territorial secretary there
would be five members of the board
three of whom would be bona fide
residents of the territory of Alaska
A great deal of waste, a great deal ol
time, a great deal of money, a great
deal of unpleasantness would be
avoided, and, above all. a greater un
derstanding and a closer knowledge oi
the needs of the country would resull
if this bill were passed.
Although Secretary of the Interim
Lane is heartily in favor of the pas
sage of the bill, there are many whc
oppose it, and who will oppose it tc
the bitter epd. These are the forest
service men, and the men whose de
partments or business would have nc
more say about the affairs of Alaska
Money for Trails and Railroad.
The Delegate will co-operate witt
Secretary Lane to get as large an ap
propriatlons as he feels that is need
ed for the construction of government
railroads in Alaska, as he desires tc
the rails extended so as to open up al
the resources of the territory.
The appropriation for roads ant
trail should, in the opinion of Mr
Wiekerrsham, be handled thnougi
the territorial legislature, the same a
the forestry fund was used by tha
body. He believes that by the ap
pointinent of the proper persons a
superintendents or over-seers tha
better results can be obtained, and ii
a way that will be satisfactory to tin
residents of the territory.
French and Italian Vessels Sunk by Eenemy.
F’ARIN, Nov. 6—Despite the utmost vigilance of the allies,
German submarines have again succeeded in worming their
way through the straits of Gibraltar. It is thought that the
submarines must have a base of supplies some where along the
lorth coast of Africa. The number that came through this last
time is unknown, but they are known to be more than one, as
ships have been sunk almost simultaneously at widely separat
'd points. So far two French and one Italian vessel have been
torpedoed' and sunk by these submersibles, all of the attacks
taking place yesterday.

Lord Kitchener Leaves London on Secret Mission.
LONDON, Nov. 6—Ft is reported unofficially that Lord
Kitchener has departed from London on a special mission to
he near east battle front. The matter is buried in the greatest
secrecy, and while it is known that Kitclmer has already left
London, nothing definite can be learned as to his destination
>r the nature of his mission. That it is fraught with important
consequences concerning the men and the fighting on the
Gallipoli peninsula and in Serbia seems to be the generally
•ccepted view.
LONDON, Nov. G—The Daily London Globe with all the
•opies of yesterday’s issue has been seized' by the government
md the authorities will not permit the paper to continue
mblish. A story on the war was printed yesterday severely
■riticizing the conduct of the affair, and this was the reason
or its suspension. Nothing official on the matter has been
jiven out.

Greece Insists Upon Maintaining Neutrality.
LONDON, Nov. 6—All hope has been abandoned of Greece
joining forces with the allies. Premier Zaimis has consented
o a reconstruction of the cabinet, but it seems assured that the
prevailing party in the Chamber, led by Venizelos will not have
jontrol of the cabinet, as he has incurred the displeasure of
King Constantine, who is as determined as ever to keep out of
he present conflict. The king will dissolve the Chamber of
Deputies at once in order to prevent the members from inter
'ering with his plans for continued neutrality.
