Russia and Japan.

NEW YORK. Dec. 29-The cable from London to the New York Her aid says: MT. Bennett Burleigh in a message to the Daily Telegraph from Tokio, says: Opinion is rife as to what will happen China if there i. war declared between Rus sia and Japan. A dispatch to the Herald shows the imperial authori. ties on the alert, and ready right now to attack Russia. Their best best generals are going to attack Russia in Manchuria, but the real key to the situation is will .here be further terrors committed against foreigners in China?" or the equal ly dangerous prospect oi what step. Germany and France will take if disturbances break out? Great Britain and America should be prepared also to see if Japan wages successful war she be not prevented of reaping the fruits of her success as once before.

Lost at Kyak.

George McPherson and a man named Kelly, both formerly oi Valdez, were engaged in the busi- ness "i boating good, from Caiel- la io the mann land, using row boat for the purpose. In the early part of December they left with a load and landed 1T safely the nexi day. With one days raiions they left kyak to return to Catella and have not been seen since.
 There is every likelihood tha, they were blown to sea and lost. though there is a bare possibility that they may have reached one of the islands off the coast; in that event they would be no better of as there is no food of any kind on these barren islands.
 The boats touching at kvak kept a lookout, hoping to get a trace oi the missing men, but nothing was seen. Dan McPher-on. brother of the missing man Is now at Kyak

OUT III |6 DAYS IS THE TIME MADE THIS
 TRIP From Fairbanks Hare By The Overland Mall. First Trip Over The New
 Route.

The new mail contract from Ft. Gibbon to Valdez started on sched- uled time. Leaving the Fort on Dec. 5th it reached Salcha on the 18th, and Fairbanks, on the 14,h. From there to the mouth of the Chistuchina they gained day, and laid over one day to meet the mail from Eagle, when the trip was re- sumed. and Valdez was reached on the evening of Dec. 30th, making the trip from Fairbanks in Is days.
 There were two large sacks from Fairbanks, one from Ft. Gibbon and three from Eagle.
 We're it not for stormy weather inside the coast range the trip would have been accomplished in less time.

Hot at San Diego.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29th.-With three sovereigns reigning over them and the forces of General Jiminez within four leagues of Ssnto Do- mingo, great excitement prevails. |. :. ministers think the situation demands the presence of an addi- tional war ship and appeals to the state department for quick action. A hitherto requested Sec. Moody has cabled Rear Admiral Lamber- ton, now at Trinidad. To dispatch at once one of his vessels to San Domingo with all speed.

Need Steamers.

"Valdez," said Mir. Burleigh, re- ferring to his recent trip to Alaska, "is destined to be the metropolis of that country. What Seattle needs as much as anything else is line of steamers running direct from this port to Valdez. The mail should be handled by small steam CTS running out of Valdes, and the traffic of the country handled in the same way.
 1t is only question of a short time before there is a railroad built from Valdez into the interior of Alaska. When that comes Val dez will be the port through which the business of Alaska is done. It is easily seen that this will be true when one considers that Eagle city, the logical Yukon terminus for a Valdez road, is but a comparative ly short distance from Dawson and that freight for 1000 miles below Eagle can be easier delivered from Eagle than St. Michael.
