ARCTIC BROTHERHOOD TO SECEOE:
 NO SPIRIT CITY TAIL FOR THEM

Juneau, Dec. 28.--Gamp Sitka at meeting Thursday night is- sued a request to all Arctic Brotherhood lodges in Alaska to send delegates to a convention to be held at Juneau on the t2th of March to take action to prevent the action of the Grand Lodg es held at Vancouver the 18th of last month allowing a charter to an A. B. camp in the Spirit City.
 It is the intention of the con- vention to take action to control the Grand Lodge of tn" order and to k ep the organization in the North, where it had it's birth and where it's great membership lies.
 It is practically certain that all Southeastern Alaska lodges will take part in the reorganization of the order.

 Mir. Pcniirld visited the church yesterday and aftcr he had gone the money was found. Father Buisson had never seen q I.O0O bill before. and he could hardly believe his eyes when he saw the hills of such large denomination.

The necessity of such an or der appealed to the early Alas kans, ho saw the benefits of an order which knew no boundary line between Alaska and the Yu- kon, and where it's members, most of them strangers to one anoth- CT, could feel at home, and as a result lodges were quickly form ed in all the camps and towns in the north.
 It is a purely Alaskan and Yu- kon order and the starting of a camp in Seattle is particularly obnoxious to the members who live north of flfty-four. It is not thought q single camp will re- main under the Grand Lodge as at present constituted. Camp Valdez will, without a single dis Senting voice, stay with her sis ter camps of the north.

Ferdinand, of Austria. Credited with Desire to Unite Slav

Paris, Dec. 28.--It is announ- ced in semi-official circles that the Archduke, Ferdinand of Aus tria, is endeavoring to unite the Slav countries together. It is stated that he has the consent of the Bulgarians and also of the Poles. He would himself become emperor.
 It is said that his plan will meet with keen opposition from the Russian government, which would not care tO see great Slav country formed. It. is point ed out, however, that the arch duke has always been distrustcd by the Slavs and that they would not trust him. fearing his ambi- tiOnS.
 The recent coupe by which the first slice was taken from Fur key was the result of his am bition, and it is said that nothing but the refusal on the part of the German emperor tn hold the Russians in check has prevented him from throwing an army of 250,000 men into S@rvia.
 The present emperor of Aus Lria Hungary is said to be but a fgurehead, who is controlled by Archduke Ferdinand. who will succeed tO the throne as soon as inc old emperor dies.
