Martial at ST. Petersburg.

ST. Petersburg. Feb. 5-Deputy Syrtlanof. coun-
sci for Lieutenant General Stoessel, pleaded to-day
before the martial for the acqu1ttaI or ms
client. He said that Russia's general unprepared-
ness had led to a series of disasters for which in
dignant public opinion was now seeking scape-
goat The defense o. Port Arthur was the one
bright spot in the entire war in spite of the TACT
that the fortress lacked all the requirements OF
modern defence. Failure negotiate with the
japanese would have meant the sacrifice of the
entire garrison. NJ. Syrtlanof closed his address
with the following words: General Stoessel is an
old invalid soldier. and he faces his judges to-
day asking only for Justice

KNOCKERS BUSY
 AGAINST VALDEZ
Route from Here Into Susit- ma Country is PersistentIy
 DisCredited

| That the Valdez route to the Val dez creek district is being persis- tantly and systematically inveiged | against without reason and for no other purpose than to divert travel to the Cook inlet country so as to afford the A. c. Company an opportunity of disposing of merchandise is the opinion of those familiar with condi- tions. Several times of late the Sew ard Gateway has published from persons coming from the Susitna cour- try statements in which the advan- tages of that route are asserted. One of these interviews denied the story published in the Prospector to the effect that the Merritt outfit is stranded.
 The latest effort of this character comes from Charles Davis who spent yesterday in Valdez awaiting the de- parture of the Santa Clara on which he is passenge cn route from Sew ard to Seattle. While in Valdez, and also while in Seward MT. Davis dwclt upon the advantages of the Susitna route. He said among other things that the Merritt outfit is at miles from Valdez creek, and that a road house has been established there. The party will go in to it's destination next winter.
 AG n n, ,nttnr nf foot xrhilo fho Mo, rtt party was in Valdez, one of it's members told q representative of the Prospector that the party expected to be in the Valdez creek country carly in the summer. That was in April, and men who know the coun- try say that it will be December be- fnro the rest 0f the journey will be completed.
 In contradiction to the assertions of Davis regarding the trail is the the mail carrier between here and Gulkana. Mir. Griswold says that Buck Hoyt came out of Valdez creek to Gulkana in six days. Hoyts horse was packed more than 200 pounds and no attempt to hurry was made. Griswold came from Gulkana to Val dez in four days and in his opinion the Valdez route is not only easier than any other but, granting that the same time can be made from Seward or Knik to the inside, is at least twcnty-four hours quicker because of the steamship travel saved.

SLATE CREEK IS
 GOOD DISTRICT
Despite Scarcity of Water Several Operators Will 0b-
 tain Fair Results

Lack of water is interfering with mining operations in the Slate creek district according to reports brought to Valdez by w. w. Wardell who ar rived Monday afternoon. Mir. War dell states that those in the district believe, however, that the country is destined to have a good future and he says that quite lot of gold will be brought out from there this fall.
 Jack Miller, whose property is in Miller Gulch, is the worst handicapped by scarcity of water and has done very little this season. Jim Black is working eight men and is doing well on what is considered fine property.
 During the early part of the season MT. Wardell was in at the Esterly property, in the Nizina country and at the time of his departure opera tion arrangements were nearly per fected. Since leaving there, MT. Wardell has learned that Esterly has taken out vast amount of dirt and expects big cleanup as the result of his hydraulic work.
 Mir. Wardell brought in the mail. He says that the trail is in fine con dition.

have placed Steele in charge, and that Steele is flooding the coast towns with lying telcgrams concerning con- ditions here and is filling the local pa- pcrs under his control with fake tele- grams purportng to come from Nome and tho coast.
 Wickcrsham men declare that they know positively that every unfair means is to be used to bring about the election of Corson but that dea- pitc'this Wickersham will carry the Panama by an overwhelming ntaior- ty, saying that the people are thor oughly aroused and are determined to rebukc at the polls the deliberate at- tcmpts at grafting.
 As the result of bet between a life insurance agent named Webster of Dome, and Mrs. Carboneau, who fa- vors Wickersham, there was q Sun day poll taken of heavily loaded train on the Tanana Valley road with the result that only two out of one hundred were found to favor Corson. This is considered fair average Of the miner vote in the Tanana.
 Wickersham arrived in Nome last night and was met by delegation of supporters who chartered a steam boat to escort him from St. Michael. He will speak in Nome tomorrow. It is said that Corson's strength in Nome has been greatly overestimated and that he will run fourth on the Sow. ard peninsula.

Fairbanks, Aug. 4--Charging that are taking an active part in behalf of John Corson's campaign to bc elected delegate, the Wickersham committee yesterday afternoon sent to Prcsi- dent Roosevelt message giving rcas. ons for the fear that crooked election tactics are purpOscd, and asking him s1 take the courts out of politics and give Alaskans q square deal.
 Tho action of the committee is based upon the refusal of Commissioner Goodwin to grant the committees re- quest that the names of those ap- pointed as election judges be made public. This information is in pos session of the CorsOn forces, at which Goodwin and other court officials are at the head. Deputy Clerk McDon- alu is paymastcr of the CorsOn cam paign in this section and is attending to his campaign duties on govern ment time, according to assertions made by Wickersham representatives.
 The Wickersham supporters charge further that Corson left to do the work of the court house bunch his press agent, Harry Steele, who was clerk of the court in Nome under the regime of former Judge Moves, and who was deposed as the result of the scandal arising out of court proceed. ings at that time. It is declared that the court employees in Fairbanks have subsidized the Fairbanks press ana

BRYAN DECLARES THAT
 TAFT IS PLAGIARlST

Lincoln, Aug. Civilian Jennings Bryan, presidential nominee of the democratic party, today declared that William Howard Tafs. presidential nominee of the republican party, is guilty of plagiarism. The act of Mir. Taft that brings forth the denouncia- tion of MT. Bryan is the former's de- cision to can few speeches and, even as Mir. Bryan has done, send them broadcast about the country where they will be vocalized by pat riotic photographs.
 Mir. Bryan asserts that it is his nim- ble intellect that foresaw the politi- cal value of the photograph and while he has no fear that Mir. Taft will pIa- giarize any of the Bryan campaign thunder, he nevertheless maintains | that in following the Bryan idea of making thunder public Mir. Taft has committed grievous albeit unpunish- able sin.
