Godfrey Chealander has returned to Seattle with, the news that the people of this country are bub- bling over with enthusiasm regard ing his Seattle Fair. This is in- deed news The ex-peanut ped dler hasn't been seen in this sec tion at all, and so far as we can learn the enthusiasm in Southeast ern Alaska, the only place he did visit, was not great enough, to keep the natives awake nights.

D. w. Cram, who was pastor of Endeavor church here for two years, has conceived the brilliant i;lea that by using reindeer to haul himself and bed he could make q successful dash to the north pole. His idea is to take q herd of deer and kill them as they are need, q for food. He does not state whether the deer would be expected to live on snowballs or stray auroras.

The Nome chamber of commerce seems to be in bad repute in it's own town. At the meeting to elect delegates to Seattle, several of the speakers were in favor of putting it out of business immediately. But the rest of Alaska falls readily into line with the Nome scheme for convention at Seattle.

FALL OF VLADIVOST0K
A QUESTION OF TIME

Tacoma, Wash, June 4-That the
capture of NladlvOstok by the japanese
army and navy is but d question of a
short time, is the prediction brought
from the .OrieHt by the American
steamer Lyra.
PurSer P G Warrington says that
while at Moi, May 10, eighteen trans
ports were seen sailing ro- Korea. It
was understood that the men were to
march overland and join the japanese
in northern ManchUria. The current
rumOr, which was well authenticated,
was that the japanese would soon
begin d forward movement. having in
contemplation the capture of the north
ern Russian stronghold. In the opinion
Of Purser Warrington, the Russians
cannot hope to hold out against the
vastly superior forces of the enemy.
While at Yokohama and other
Japanese ports, officers of the Lyra
witnessed other operations of a war
like nature which convinced them that
NladivOstOk is the goal toward which
the armies of Oyama have set their
faces Every transport, and there were
many of them, was heavily laden with
soldiers going to join their comrades.

Roosevelt's Offer Received With Fa,

FRUITLESS.

St. Petersburg, June >, 2:10 a. M
President RooseveIt's tender of his
good offices to bring about peace is
received with general favor in the press
and by the public. and a desire that
some steps should be taken towards
securing an honorable peace is increas-
ingly manifest
The Russ declares that the presi-
dents offer should be commended as
an act of friendship tending TO bring
out Japan'S terms of peace and Rus
Sia'S acceptance Of an offer which
would not mean surrender on humil-
iating terms. The paper maintains at
the same time that negotiations. if
begun. must be direct, and that there
must be no Intervention by other
powers
The BOUrse Gazette says that Russia
must make the best possible use of
the friendly offices of the United States
and Great Britain This paper. as well
as the Synotschesva and the NashaZ-
hISn and others advances the idea that
Japan VIII be disposed to grant better
terms to the Russian people than to
the bureaucrats who began the war.
These papers reiterate the demand for
4 ZemSky sober to settle the question.

Members of the diplomatic corps ex-
press their pleasure that President
Roosevelt had taken the lead in urging
Russia TO give up the prosecution of
the war, but they said they were ap-
pTehensive that the presidents effort
would be fruitless. Baron ROsen, the

that the matter of railroad concessions

future become one OF paramount i'm
pOrtaDCe.
a French protectorate either in fact
or one tacitiy existing would mean that
the bulk Of such concessions would go
to French capital because the existing
agreement makes this easily possible.
IL Is pointed out that the German en-
peroT foresees this possible development
and that his Moroccan policy is merely
designed to place Germany at least on
an equality with France in the future
development Of the country. There is
no disposition either in official or COM
mercial circles to believe that the Ger
man emperor in any way wishes to
provoke EOstiIitieS. Under existing
conditions it would be easy to
absolutely close the door against all
but French capital for mining and rail-
way concessions. and this is the cOndi-
ton. as Morocco sees it. that Emperor
William wishes TO overcome.
