skill, but the patient failed to rally.
Picturesque Figure.
Colonel Greene was one of the most
picturesque figures of the group Of
copper men who have operated In the

rise from the position Of a penniless
prospector to a director of the Can

Juneau, March 1O.-The town OF
Douglas was practically wiped out by
fire last night. 1t started from an
over.heated stove In the Douglas
cafe and the flames spreading rap
idly, the entire heart Of the business
section was destroyed. All of the
buildings were frame and before the
fire could be gotten under control
:wenty-one Of them were burned to
he ground. The loss Is more than
800, 900, with not . cent Of insur-
ance.
As soon as It was realized that the
cOnflagration threatened to prove
serious the departments from juneau
and Treadwell were appealed to and
soon arrived ON the scene, rendering
valuable aid. 1t was . bitter cold
night and the men could make but
little progress, being soon covered
with sheets of ice and chilled to the
bone. The fire lasted for seven hours
and at one time there were twelve
streams playing on the flames.
1t was . pitiablc scene to sec the
occupants Of buildings working hero.
ically to remove their stocks and
household goods into the street, only
to see them consumed In q short
time. The entire front street was a
seething mass Of flames, as the struc.
lures burned like SO much paper
Practically all Of the leading morcfl.

Washington, D. c., March 6.-As
the result of extensive tests carried
forward by the naval departments
the officers OF the navy board in
charge of the experiments will report
that Washington state coal is unfit
for naval purposes as a proper steam
ing coal.
The board will also report that the
opening of the Alaska coal fields will
solve the question for naval sup
ply for the Pacific coast fleet, as ex-
periments and tests of Alaskan coal
prove conclusively that it is a super
Tor quality and fitted in all respects
for high grade steaming purposes.
In fact. figures have been sub
mitted already showing the great saw
ing in cost to the navy once the Alas
kan coal is placed on the market.
In case Of trouble with any Oriental
power. the United States navy would
be sadly crippled, In fact, almost USE
less II compelled to depend upon a
supply Of steam coal from the East.
It is understood that recommends
lions will be made not only of the
necessity of speedy action with a
view of securing naval coal from
Alaska. but also of the importance
of building up and affording proper
protection to coal naval bases in the
North.

nation. Otherwise, II was stated, the
Texas legislature would re-elect him.
Seattle. March 6.-Arguments will
begin in the United States court
March % ON q demurrer filed by
the attorneys of D. A. Mckenzie and
Harry White to the decision of the
Interior department respecting their
coal claims In the Katalla or Boring
River district. tributary to Cordova.
The cases will be called in Spokane.
This demurrer Is based ON the con-
struction of the law of 1904. the
coal claimants alleging that they
showed good faith and complied with
the law in every respect at the time
they completed their locations and
applied for a United States patent.
Should the demurrer win it will
prove q test case and settle the leg
atty of hundreds of claims in that
district. What is more important,
there will no longer be any legal OBJ
struction to the granting of patents.
Those interested in seeing the coal
of Alaska opened are greatly encour-
aged and believe that much better
understanding of the true merits OF
many of the cases pending Is becom-
ing general and will result soon in
the opening of the coal for the Pa
cific coast market.
Butte, March 6.-Ollie James, the
representative from Marion, KY, is
again talking of impeaching Richard
A. Ballinger, the secretary Of the in
terror department, relative to the coal
cases pending in Alaska. The con-
gresham says that he will present
his resolutions at the special SEES
sion called by President Taft to con-
slider the Canadian reciprocity bill.
Fairbanks, March Captain
Barnette today placed $1.500.000
worth of securities with the commit
tee which is managing the affairs OF
the defunct Washington-Alaska bank
and this will insure the payment of
dollar for dollar to every depositor.
The prompt manner in. which Cap
tain Barnette has taken hold of the
affairs of the bank, with q view of
protecting the depositors, is calling
forth favorable comment in all quar-
ters. As previously stated. he was
not bound by any legal obligation
to assume responsibility, but decided
that it was a moral obligation and
has pledged every cent he owns, in
Guiding his Mexican ranch, in order
that every one interested may re-
ceive his money.
Those who were the first to blame
and criticise the captain. are now
loudest in their prise because Of his
prompt steps to make good to de-
positors. It is believed that the en-
barrassment Of the bank is but tenn
porary and that the liabilities will be
paid without drawing to the full on
the securities placed In the hands
of the bank by Captain Barnette.
New York, March 7.-Colonel
Roosevelt will leave tomorrow on his

Washington March 1.-THE Sec
rotary Of the Interior, Fisher, will
take Office on Monday and it is un-
derstood that he has had an under
standing with President Taft in ref
erence to the policy OF that office in
connection with the Alaska coal land
cases. There is q general feeling
that the, matter ia to be speedily dis
posed of and that the Cunningham
claims will be issued patents.
The Chitina leader., 1911-03-11

Washington, March 7.-President
Taft today consented to discuss the
coal situation In Alaska at length.
He stated that he would NO longer
wait for Congress- to legislate ON
Alaska coal, but would do all in his
power to bring about an early settle
ment SO that Alaskans and pioneers
could mine and secure some benefits
from these great natural resources.
He admitted that It was an In
justice to tho claim owners and the
people Of the country because Of the
hundreds of claims held up. Presi-
dent Taft further stated that he
would personally pass upon the Cum
nineham claims, which were about
ready for examination, and assume
the responsibility for settlement.
The President said he would then
cooperate with the department of
the interior to dispose of the others
now pending with the department
Alaskans and friends Of Alaska
are jnbilant over the fact that the
President has made up his mind to
bring matters to . head. They feel
certain that it will now be only a
short time when enough claims will
be clear listed to allow the develop
ment Of the coal fields in the north.

Washington. March 0.-Walter l..
Fisher, the newly appointed Secre-
tary Of the Interior, will likely today
relieve Richard A. Ballinger, resign
ed. Although president of the Con-
servation. League Of America and
friendly with Pinchot the new secre-
tary Is not radical. He does not be-
lieve in bottling the resources Of the
country. in order to prevent will
full waste, and is . strong advocate
Of some Of Ballinger's ideas. 1t is
believed that Fisher and President
Taft will favorably decide the Cum
ningham cases, which means the i'm
mediate opening of the Alaska coal
fields. Being an Fastener and
conservationist such q decision COM
ing from Fisher will have the effect
Of quieting adverse criticism, and
there il every reason to believe that

Bremerton navy yard express the
opinion that . coal famine is facing

necessity for opening the Alaska coal
fields.

CORONATION FETE
WILL ECLIPSE ALL
CrOWninG Of George to Sur
pass in PaGeantry For
mer Ceremonies
TWO MILLION VISITORS
EXPECTED TO ATTEND

LONDON, Feb 16-Since the begin
ming Of the winter the chief function
aries of the British court have been
busily absorbed with preparations for
the coronation of George v, which
will surpass i'm pageanty and his
torical interest all former ceremon-
ials of the character.
While the ceremony Of crowning the
king and queen in Westminster alb
hey on June % will be almost idenu-
cal in form with that which has been
followed in the investiture Of British
sovereigns since William ". and
Queen Adelaide, the auxiliary func-
tions are expected to exceed in
pageantry and magniicence anything
that the nation has witnessed in the
past.
Some of the Features.
These will include the progress Of
the court through London the day af-
ter the coronation and a visit TO the
Guildhall, with a reception Of the king
and queen by the city authorities
there, a great naval review. gala
performance at the opera with minor
celebrations and pageants, among
which will be a festival of empire
at the Crystal palace.
Business men and transportation
companies count upon an influx Of
about 100000 visitors to London
during the coronation season. \
considerable proportion Of these will
be foreigners, Americans and colon
ials probably predominating. Hotels
expect to be able to cope with the in
vasion. The best places are being
reserved for regular patrons, and
/ managers say that prices for the
coronation week will not be more than
double the regular rates for the best
hotels. Boarding house keepers are
/ likely TO be less reasonable in charge:
to visitors who have not made ar.
rangements for accommodations IN
advance.
Highest Prices for sites.
There is every indication that The
erection of stands for witnessing the
procession to the abbey and the pro
gress through London will be on
scale more extensive than for tbs
coronation of King Edward in 1902
/ Owners and tenants are asking tn
. highest prices ever quoted for build
ing sites and windows.
A lively insurance business has be
