VATICAN PROTESTS
AGAINST PRINCES VISIT

Rome, Feb. 1S.--Elaborate ar
engagements are being made by King
Victor Emmanuel for the reception
and entertainment of the Prince OF
Monaco, who is expected to arrive i'm
Rome tomorrow. Both persuasion
and threats have been used by the
Vatican in an attempt to cause the
prince to abandon the visit. but ap-
parently without avail. The Catho-
lie rulers are prescribed from visit
ing the Quirinal during any visit
they may pay to Rome, and the
princes avowed intention to ignore
this prohibition may lead to interna-
tional complications.
The case of the prince of Monaco
Is considered all the graver by the
church authorities because of the
fact that he has diplomatic repre-
sentative accredited to the Holy See
and has been regarded as having
such close relations with the Vatican
that it was some time ago asserted II
the Pope should decide to leave
Rome for the benefit of his health
the prince would send his yacht to
transport the Pontin to Monaco.
According to present plans. the
prince will pay formal visit to the
king and queen and queens moth
er on THURSDAY. rhe second day Of
his stay will be spent at hunt with
the king, and on February 22 the
prince will deliver lecture on
oceanography, covering the results
OF his more recent explorations in
the north. On the evening OF the
22d the prince will attend the state
banquet at the Quirinal. and, It Is
announced, will take his departure
the following day without asking an
audience of the Pope In this event
II us likely the Vatican will issue
note Of protest TO all the powers as
was done on the occasion of Presl-
dent Loubet's visit TO Rome.

MINERS RUSH
To ALASKA

Seattle. Wash, Feb. 1S-The
spring rush to Alaska is now on and
bids fair TO rival in extent that to
the Klondike regions decade ago.
Indications are that 10000 miners
and prospectors will go to northern
gold camps during the next few
months. Prosperity and high wages
reign in every mining camp I'm
Alaska and the British Yukon. In
addition the Morgan-Guggenh
Havermeyer interests are building
the Trans-Alaskan railway up the
Copper River Valley to reach what
Henry Bratnober FOR years the Lon
don Exploration Company's copper
expert. declared is the greatest and
richest copper district yet discovered
anywhere.
New gold strikes are reliably ro-
ported from the outlying Klondike
creeks and from the Stewart White
and Pelly rivers. Tanana. Koyuknk
and Copper river districts.
