VOLCANIC ASH IS PART GLASS
CFrom wednesday's Daily)

The following letter from the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technology at Boston is the answer of the professor in charge of the department of geology to letter sent sometime ago by J. Belleview containing a sample of the volcanic ash that fell here last winter:
 Boston, Mass, Sept. 12, 1908 MT. J. Beleview, Flambeau- Hastings Ditch Co, Nome, Alaska:
 Dear Sir: I have your favor of July 17 and thank you most heartily for this specimen of volcanic ash, which you mailed.
 "The ash is very largely volcanic glass, without very distinctive min erals, and have not as yet discovered anything about it to identify it with the volcanoes of the Aleutian Islands l think that it is more likely to have come from the coast of Asia, west of you. Possibly by this time you have learned from mariners, of some vol canic eruption there.
 Yours very truly,

SULTAN POSTPoNEs
 WAR WITH BULGARIA
Yours very truly,
 TT. A. JAGGAR, JR."

PARIS, Oct. 6.-The sultan has de- cided to heed the advice of the pow CTS and will postpone the war with Bulgaria for the time being.
 The announcement made ten days ago that the Turks woull march on an invasion of Bulgaria was received by all the powers with a feeling of dis satisfaction. and many communca- tions were sent from the capitals of the continent in an attempt to quash the hostile proceedings of the Turks.
 The sultan has been contemplating the war for several years, and since his declaration of a new policy in his country and court, -.- made the announcement that Persia would be freed of the oppressors if his army and that of the shah could accomplish it.
 Prominent in the movement to begin war against Bulgaria were the mem bers of the sultan's new cabinet, all of whom are aplauding the molern ideas of the sultan. The suggestions of the powers have been taken by the sultan and his promise has been given for postponement of hostilities.

HOTlLITlE ARE
 SOON TO BEGIN

LONDON, oct. 7.-The war threat ened for several days in the Balkan Peninsula by Turkey has been aggra- vated by the announcement made by Emperor Franz Josef of Austria that the annexation of Bosnia and Herze- govina will be celebrated in the near future.
 Both countries lie next to Turkey and are under the Austrian Hungar- ian administration, but the sultan has long regarded them as possessions of Turkey, and the annexation of them will without doubt precipitate trouble )etween the two powers.
 The powers of Europe are unable to aid Turkey in the trouble, as it is ad- mitted by all that Bosnia and Herze- govina are naturally the property of the Austrian government.
 With Austria and Bulgaria combin- seems to be little chance for the sultan to win his cause. Bulgaria which is now under the suzrainty of the sultan is anxious to lift the yoke of the Turks and Is anticipating its own freedom.
 It was believed yesterday at the British war office that the prospect of war in the Balkans had been averted by the agreement reached by the powers, but the authority of the peace congresses is not sufficiently ex- tensive to prevent the annexation of the two southern principalities by the Austrian emperor if he so desires. It is understood that the sultan and his cabinet have said that war will be declared the moment the annexation is announced.

REVENUE CUTTERS
 RECEIVE ORDERS

SEATTLE, Oct 7-Instructions from the treasury department received here recently order the first class revenue cutter Thetis to patrol the waters of Boring Sea this winter, and the second class vessel Perry to remain in the waters touching Southeastern Alaska.
 The reason for the order is because of the depredations done in the past by the Japanese seal poachers on the seal rookeries under the control and pro- lection of the United States govern ment.
 Instructions complete have been is eued for the two vessels to keep close trol of the waters assigned to them. The Thetis will remain for the most part at Dutch Harbor and Unalaska with an occasional cruise as far North as the ice will permit, and the Perry will stay in the North Pacific keeping q close watch on the sealing islands in the Aleutian Islands.

NO GEISHH GIRLS FOR
 TARS
Special to the Gold DisgerJ By the United Press.

By the United Press.
 (From Thursdays Daily)
 TOKYO, Japan, Oct S.--It has been ordered by the committee in charge Of the reception planned for the coming of the American fleet to dispense with the Geisha girls and all liquors on the occasion of the welcome of the Mikado.
 The step has been taken because of the desire on the part of the Mikado and the other representative men and officials of the kingdom to make a most favorable impression upon the United States officers and men when they ar rive.
 The Mikado has expressed the desire that the fleet officers and their men shall be given every courtesy within the power of the Japanese people and q most elaborate reception has been planned for their entertainment.
 The fleet is anxiously awaited. The rumor that the Japanese have plotted to seize the fleet is ridiculous in the extreme.
