J. T. cornforth's Alaska Road.

Tacoma, Wash. Sept IA new
project in the Alaska railroad world is
shortly to be launched by j. T. Corn
forth, formerly Denver mining man
and capitalist, in the Alaska Short
Line railway, which 1t is proposed to
build from Iliamna, on Cook Inlet. to
Anoik or Yukon, thereby affording
what 1t is claimed will be an all-winter
route for freight and passengers from
Alaska to the outer world.
The proposed line will be $50 miles
in length and its highest elevation. as
shown by preliminary exploration, will
be $50 feet above sea level, crossing
the mountains through the only nat
ural gap which exists. The White
Pass road crosses at an elevation of
2,9O0 feet, and the Alaska Central
1,7OO feet above sea level 1t is pro-
posed to have the road to the Kuskok-
win country which, 1t is claimed. is the
only region in Alaska which is adapted
to agriculture without preliminary
preparation in the way of removing
surface muck, which 1t is necessary to
scrape away so that the ground may
thaw before actual soil tilling can be-
gin.

COLUMBUS DAY.
Proclamation for its Celebration Is
sued by Governor Mcdonald.

Denver, Sept 10.-Governor Nc
Donald has ISSUED the following proc
lamation:
State of Colorado, Executive Cham
ber, Denver.
Proclamation-Colu Day.
Whereas. The public-spirited Ital-
ians of Colorado have displayed laud-
able determination to donate to the
commonwealth a commemorative mon
ument of the great explorer and dis
covered, Christopher Columbus, on this
years anniversary of his discovery of
the Americas, said monument to be
erected in the city of Pueblo; and,
Whereas, ever since the city of Ge-
noa, thirteen years ago, invited the
principal American authorities to par
ticipate in suitable exercises in honor
of the Columbian anniversary, there
has been an increasing public demand
that this day be set aside as holiday;
and,
Whereas, a proposed law to this ef-
feet passed one branch of the last Leg
is lature and only failed of passage
through lack of the necessary time.
Now, therefore, /, Jesse F. McDon-
aid, governor of Colorado, do proclaim
Thursday. October IL, 1905, to be Co
lumbus Day, and do call upon all citi-
Zens OF Colorado to observe the occa-
sion in manner suitable to its great
importance and, moreover. as a day
upon which may be gratefully recog-
nized the patriotic Americanism of the
Colorado Italians whose generosity
prompts them to present to the state
an emblem of appreciation of the ser
vices to mankind of one of their coun-
try men, and a material evidence of
the good citizenship of those Ameri-
cans who belong to the same race as
did he.
In witness whereof. have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of the state to be affixed, at Denver,

politics, Mr.. Brisbane had q wide cir
Gle of acquaintances. He went to

camp. Through small speculations at
the start he soon became one OF the
most successful men in the camp. For
many years he was the senior partner

vile, real estate and mining investors,
and the concern controlled vast inter.
ests. At the time of his death Mr..
Brisbane was the owner of the De-
Maineville block of Leadville. His
partner died several years ago and Mr..
Brisbane disposed of most of his hold
ings in Leadville.
Besides a widow, Mr.. Brisbane

sister of the latter, named Alice. died
about a year ago, but the death was

illness, and he was unaware of it when
he died.

DENOUNCE MINISTERS
BIG MASS MEETING AT OSAKA
Japanese Cabinet Offers to Resign, but
Mi<ado Advises Members to
Retain Office

Toxic. Sept. ia mass meeting at
Osaka passed the following resolution
without hindrance on the part OF the
police:
"The peace that has Just been con-
cluded between Russia and Japan for
feits the fruits OF victory and sows
seeds of future complications and dan
ger. The governments high-handed
and unconstitutional measure has re-
suited in unexpected disturbance to
the peace of the city in which the
Mikado resides. The empires honor
has been soiled and the spirit of the
constitution lost. Never has our coun-
try been brought to face greater dan
ger. Therefore. be 1t resolved, that we
hope that the humiliating peace agree
ment will be broken and the govern
ment will resign"
|. In accordance with established
usage, the Cabinet ministers have pre-
sented an official statement to the
mikado explaining the necessity OF in
stituting martial law at the capital and
at the same time asking the imperial
Judgment as to whether they should
remain in office or retire.
The Emperor's reply. which was
made to-day, advises them to retain
their respective posts.
The special session of the privy
council to-day lasted four hours. No
bill was presented, only a report from
the Cabinet ministers. Premier Kat.
sura making an extended statement
OF the peace negotiations.
According to the constitution, a
treaty with other powers requires to
be submitted TO the council before rati-
fication. 1t is unusual TO hold a spe-
cial sitting for simply making report
on diplomatic affairs before a treaty
assumes a form ready for ratification,
and the sitting to-day. without spe-
cial bill, was rather unexpected.
Opposition political parties have ap
pointed an extensive committee to
fully report on sufferings alleged to
have been caused by the police dur.
ing the recent rioting. The progres.
sives and their local branches continue
to press resolutions against the gov
ernment. The Shiba branch condemns
the governments assumption of the
power to suspend newspapers. declar
ing it to be wholly unconstitutional
| Quiet, however, prevails in Toxic.

News having been received that
peace negotiations at Portsmouth are
approaching a conclusion, the CORE
spondent Of the Associated Press has
made survey of all the Russian po-
sitious from Mongolia to headquarters.
the object In part being to ascertain
the manner in which the efforts max
ing for peace were viewed by the
army.
The negotiations received no official
recognition in the field prior to their
successful conclusion, the army keep
ing in state of preparation for bat
tie until the receipt by General Line
witch Of a telegram from Emperor
Nicholas declaring that the treaty had
been signed and that his majesty ac-
cepted the conditions arrived at.
This telegram was officially pub
iished in the army newspapers on Sep
tember 9Th, and the outlines Of the
peace conditions were printed in the
same publication to-day.
The officers thereafted observed mil
itary decorum in the strictest sense,
but the soldiers, with the consent Of
the officers, engaged in feasting and
other forms of celebration. 1t will be
a week more before the entire army
Is fully informed of the conclusion OF
peace, but the news was discounted
. long since by the prevailing convic-
ton that since the appointment of the
'plenipotentiaries peace was a fore
gone conclusion.
1t may be said that to the great
majority of the officers and men so far
informed the news that the war is at
an end is most welcome. Thousands
are daily drinking to the health of
President Roosevelt. The correspon-
dent, who is the only remaining for
eign newspaper representative with
the Russian army, was everywhere
asked by the men il he was an Ameri-
can and on being answered in the
affirmative, they captured him and
tossed him many times in the air after
the manner of the Cossacks, while
their officers gently protested against
the seemingly questionable form Of
their admiration.
Everywhere along the railway where
newspapers could be obtained soldiers
eagerly scanned the news and then ex-
pressed their joy by singing, which
they continued late into the night, at
intervals cheering for President Roose-
welt.
The officers are holding races at
Toershu and at other places.
