Plenty at Susitna

Durell Finch writing from Tyonok says that he was at Susitna Station recently, and he wishes to correct any false impressions that may have gone out in regard to a lack of supplies at that place. He was in MT. Nagley's $ warehouse at the Station and found it we'll stocked. Mir. Nagley thinks he has enough of nearly all groceries for those who may want them. Where his stock is short he is increasing it from supplies at Tyonok where there is more than the local trade can pos sibly consume.
 G. w. Palmer reports to Finch from Knik that he can outfit a number of people; that he has flour, sugar, lard, bacon etc. He is short on Indian goods, but is having some sledded in from Tyonok.
 Mushers going over the trail will be able to outfit at some of the stores along the route, and they will find MT. Duffy still doing business at his old stand in Knik. They will also find "Scotty" Watson dishing out grub and extending the glad hand at Susitna.
 Finch regards Alfred Lowell as the champion hiker of the Northland.

Defenses on the Coast

Washington, D. C.-President Roose- welt is taking such great interest in defenses on the Pacific coast that he is having conferences with congress- men from that section as to what is necessary. He has talked with num- Der of senators, and representatives from California, Oregon and Washing ton. Representative Humphrey talk ed with the president about the needs of Puget sound and Seattle. The for tifcations on the sound he considered weak and improvements highly neces- sary. One trouble with Seattle, he says, is that the channel is so wide and the fogs so heavy at times that cruis- CT could slip into the sound in heavy fog and lombard Seattle.

programme, particularly as he was
greatly adverse to entering into a
political campaign.
The Missouri delegation called on
former Governor Francis and an.
nounced decision reached to put
Mr.. Francis in nomination for the vice
presidency. The Missourians expect
to secure for Mr.. Francis the support

eliminated from consideration the
Missouri delegation believes that Mr..
Francis will be the beneficiary.

QUIET IN THE TOWNS.
Government Officials Are Not Disturb
 ed By Wild Rumors.

City of Mexico, June 29.-Up to this evening no news of any sort had been received at the capitol that would indicate that there had been a repetition Of the disorders similar to those which occurred 8 the towns of Viesea and Las Vacas On the contrary, at the departments of the interior, war and state comes the report that absolute quiet reigned Tn the region where the two small bands of malcontents Lad been operating.
 Through private telegrams of inquiry re- ceived here this morning it was made evident that untruthful and sensational re- ports relating to alleged captures and as- saults were in circulation in the United States. One story was to the effect that the town of Jiminez, a place of some |, 900 inhabitants, had been assaulted and cap tured by revolutionists. At the interior department and at the office of the pres idenl ot the Mexican Central railroad ths correspondent of the Associated Press was assured that the report was absoluteiy untrue.
 A telegram sent to Jiminez was an, swered by one ot the officers at that place in the following laconic language
 Have not seen any revolutionists around in the last few days. If they captured the town they overlooked the telegraph office. Jimnez is a terminal point on one of the branches of the Mex ican Central, m the southern part of the state of Chihuahua. There is a village of the same name in the state of Coahuila near the scene of the Las Vacas raid.
 Word from Torren, a thriving city of some 300o0 inhabitants and five banks, de- elares that the place is as quiet as any yell organized city of the United States.
 The entire direction of the campaign against the malcontents is under the di- rection of the secretary of the interior, Senor Corral. who is also vice president of the republic. MT. Corral explained that his department had taken charge of the affair because the policing force os the republic was under it's supervision. The government, considering the maraud- ITS common criminals, is chasing then with rurales, the mounted police of the country
 Il will say to the Associated Press what ] said at the beginning said the wee president today, the trouble in the state of Coahuila is not revolution, nor is it the commencement of one. A few ignor- ,lnt men of the lower class have listened to the words of certain anarchistic Mex Icans. now residing in the United States and thereupon set about to rob, murder 5nd pilage. Not man of the better class has joined the ranks and their num- Ter is insignificant They are now hiding ir groups in twos, threes and fours. somewhere in the wilds of Durango or Coahuila. The rurales will catch them They will be tired as common criminals"
 Foreign Minister Mariscal declared to- day that of those manifestants who crossed the Rio Grande and are now on United States soil will be eXtradited on the ground that the men are guilty of common crimes and not political offenses.

Washington. June 29-By direction of President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft has issued orders to the commanding general of the department of Texas at San An tonic to send a sufficient number of troops to Del Rio Fl Paso and other points in Texas to aid the civil authori- ties in preserving order. This action was decided upon as a result of the request from the Mexican government that the United States do it's utmost to prevent any violation of the neutrality laws.
 The request of the Mexican government was referred to the Attorney General by the state department and the governor of Texas in the meantime was asked lo aid in compelling obedience to the law. The order of the President sending troops to the border is understood to have been made upon the recommendation of the Attorney General
 Brigadier General Moyer in command of the department of Texas, is authorized to ascertain the number of troops neees- sary at Del Rio and Fl Paso and also to send troops to any other points along the Mexico-Texas border if found advis- able. The federal troops will act under the directions of the United States mar shal and the United States district attor- ney. The troops presence will also do much to prevent any outbreaks within the United States territory. and will be of material assistance in the event that revolutionists should cross the border
