A Better Outlook for the
 Preservation of Peace.
|RUMORS UNCONFIRMED
Signs Though Indicate That Both Russia and Japan Feel That the Final Struggle Must Come Why Car Did Not Go to Rome.

London, Oct. 13.-The peculiar official explanation of the postponement of the czars visit to Rome, lowing to circum- stances over which he has no control,' is interpreted in some quarters to mean that the threatening outlook in far eastern affairs calls for the emperor's presence in Russia.
 There is no confirmation of the alarmist rumors.
 At the Japanese legation last night no news had been received of the re- ported uItimatum.
 A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Kobe, October 12th. reports that the situation is somewhat easier, but that the tone Of the press is distinctly bel licose, while the same papers corre- spondent at Geneva says several Rus sian officials there have been suddenly recalled to join their regiments. Other special dispatches describe Russian war preparations, etc. and the news papers which are intensely interested in the developments, owing to the Anglo-Japanese alliance, are already oupiiSiili9 i.dpS cillu SSlHIldlSS Ol llC naval and military forces of the pro- spective belligerents, and editorializing on the possibilities of the situation. The greatest attention is paid to the changed tone of Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister a London, who was much less confident that peace would be preserved than he was a week ago. Inquiries at the Japanese banking. shipping and commercial houses in London, however elicited expressions of disbelief in the outbreak of war. It is noteworthy that the king has just approved the appointment of Vice Admiral Gerald Noel as commander | in-chief of the China station.

With the exception of his office force, MT.

Following the publication of the news of yesterday morning. numerous rumors were heard that the case had been disposed of already. Finally, late in the afternoon, one re- port was definitely traced to an en- ploye at the capitol, who was quoted as saying that President Roosevelt had removed the secretary.
 Hugh Creighton, who is regarded by many of his friends as being on particu- larly confidential terms with Governor Brodie, was quoted by several people yesterday as declaring that the differ ences between the governor and the secretary had reached a point where they had to be fought out to a finish.''

Representatives.

We can't remember just now wbo 1t was that called out for the Lord to de liver him from his friends, but that is exactly the position that Alaska oc- cupies today. When it became known to few Alaskans who are sojourning at Seattle that committee was needed to meet Pres. Roosevelt, they immedl- ately decided that they were it. So they straightway appointed themselves as committee to do the business. Now ln all fairness these may be very smart men, although the news of their great ness has never spread beyond the town in which they live. Indeed, in some ln- stances these very men might have been chosen to do the glad hand act with Teddie, and murmur silly nothings ln his other ear. We have no doubt but when these boys get back home they will claim as their due much honor and glory for all the Alaska legislation, good and bad, that may be enacted in the next five years. It is right of course that they should feel the excessive dig nity of their position, but the other sixty or seventy thousand Alaskans who happened to be at home when the committee met at Seattle, are all fools. They should show their interest in their chosen Alaskan home by galloping around tho country representing 1t.
 The combination of the whole busi- ness would cure Thlinket Indian of the fish smell. Alaska don't want that kind of representation and the sooner the whole blooming outfit find 1t out the better. We don't want any self ap- pointed representatives. We don't want them chosen by the Board of Trade at Valdez, Kodiak or Metlakah- tia, nor appointed by committee of five pie counter men. If we have any representatives we want to elect them If we can't have it that way, we are content to go without.

The city fathers have decided that it is again time for Douglas to indulge in its annual spring housekeeping and notices to that effect have been issued. This was done year ago with the most beneficent results. Everybody came up to the mark and such scraping and cleaning was indulged in that had never happened before in the town. It was grand.
 It is to be hoped that the same good feeling will prevail this year and that no one will persist in being dirty.

A BATTLE FOR BLOOD
Today's Football Game Between Two
 Visiting Teams.

It has been a long time since Phoe- nix has shown interest in an athletic contest to as great extent as is be- ing shown in the football game which is to be played at Eastlake park this af- ternoon. Perhaps this situation is due to the fact that a California team is one of the participants in the contest. Another feature is that the Indians who are to play are from the reserva- tion and their signals and sigEs are to be called in their native tongue.
 The team from the Needles, which arrived on the Santa Fe this morning is made up of railroad men who have been working in the shops at their home and all of them are big, yell built athletes. They have in the past year played several games in California and have scored against the big teams of that state.
 The Indians have been coached by Captain James, a regular army man who is now stationed at Fort Shaw. He will play with the Indians in the game today. Captain James was a merIber of the West Point team the year it played the winning game with Yale. Cyrus Sun, the Indians full back. was at one time with the local Indian school team. Antonio Juan. another member Of the team. was formerly a member of the Albuquerque school eleven. William Stevens, who plays center, is a rancher at Sacaton and weighs 225 pounds. John Hill. another of the men behind the line for the In- dians, was a member of the Carlisle Indian school team in 1900.
 The field has been put in excellent shape and some very fast football is bound to be the result. The game will be called at 3:S0. The officials for the game have not been finally agreed upon but it is probable that Charles Christy and Robert Sherman will decide the contest Before the game is called the Phoenix Indian school band will give a concert at the park.
