Speaker Clark Leads Enthusiastic
Band on Trip.
Sea Girt, New Jersey. One hun
dred and thirteen democratic members
Of the national house of representa-
tives, led by Speaker Champ Clark,
paid their respects to Governor Wilson
Saturday afternoon and listened to the
maiden campaign speech by the gov
ernor as nominee for the presidency.
So far as any one knows here it was
the first time such a visit was ever
paid.
Cooperation between the national
executive and congress to make living
easier for the country" was the text
of the governors brief address and
this was taken to give line on the
burden of the more ambitious speeches
to be delivered later in the summer.
The governor also proved that he
was good mixer and good, listener
as well as good talker, for he listen
ed and talked about three hours, listen
ing most Of the time, and shook hands
with about 1880 persons between

London, Eng. - The mystery sur
rounding the reported attack upon the
Dardanelles by Italian torpedo boats
and their repulse with the loss Of two
vessels and the damage Of six others.
coupled with the proclamation Of the
sultan of Turkey exhorting the troops
to remain loyal, suggests the POSSIBLE
ity that another revolution Is threat.
ening in Constantinople.
The Italian government denies
knowledge of an attack by its tor
pedo boats on the Dardanelles and
while Independent dispatches confirm
the fact that cannonade of some
description took place, all reports con-
corning an Italian attack and Of the
damage inflicted upon the Italian tor
pedo boats come from official Turk
ish sources and are not confirmed
press dispatches.
The suggestion is made that the
bombardment was engineered by the
Turkish government as means Of
influencing the Turks, by reminding
them that the enemy was at the doors
military revolution an dassisting in
the solution of the political crisis.
Constantinople.-The grave nature
Of the governments difficulties is re-
vealed in proclamation of the sui
tan to the army which was read to
the garrison here. After announcing
the appointment of Tewfik Pasha as
grand vizier the proclamation re-
minds the troops of their oath of 10y
atty, and referring to demands made
by certain officers as contrary to the
constitution and supreme rights Of
the Khalifate, exhorts the army not
to mix in politics, but to devote it.
self exclusively to the defense of the
country.
The proclamation concludes by
pointing out that the officers disaf-
fected attitude had encouraged the
enemy to the extent that the enemy
dared last night to approach the very
gatesrof the capital. This should con-
stitute a warning"
The proclamation was provoked by
meeting of officers at the war Of
fee which delegated Nazim Pasha
and Hadi Pasha to submit to the
sultan the officers demands for the
dissolution of the chamber Of depu.
ties and the appointment of Kiamil
Pasha as grand vizier.
Press dispatches from the Darda-
nelles assert that after the Italian
torpedo boats which attacked the en-
trance Of the Dardanelles retired, %
large and small vessels were sighted
from the straits steaming on a south
erly course. These dispatches add
that five vessels are still reported of
the Dardanelles.
The Porte has decided to reduce
the width Of the free channel between
the mine fields in the Dardanelles in
order on the one hand to permit a
continuance of navigation and on the
other to increase the defenses of the
straits.
Minneapolis.-The reported closing
of the Dardanelles by Turkey, which
would prevent the passage Of the
great grain fleets of Russia to the
wheat importing countries of western
Europe, caused wild scene in the
wheat Dit here.

The governor left the Little White

to greet personally the scores of per-

Before he left he conferred with
Senators Reed and Stone of Missouri
and Representative Henry Of Texas.
"Of course Champ Clark will take
the stump for Wilson," Senator Reed
said afterwards, when asked his opin-

Senator. Stone said he had talked
with Governor Wilson about plans for
the campaign. They had also discuss

reasonably sure that Wilson would
have 23O votes in the electoral college
before they reached the list Of de-

thought, were New York. Connecticut,
Massachusetts. Wisconsin and Ohio.
They were not included in the 230

The Ketchikan miner., 1912-03-01

War is threatened between the Tanana tribes and the White River tribes of Indians within a few weeks over a dis pute as to their hunting ground. The situation is reported as acute because a few weeks ago one White River saw a Tanana bending over the fire in the camp in the White Rivers ter ritory and shot him in the back killing him instantly. It is be- lieved that the murderer is member of the band of Copper Joe, a famous old warrier who formerly made his headquar- ters in the Selkirk country and later became an outlaw, moving to the head of the Ladue or White River. The Tananas. known also as the Tatlas, ren- dezvous al the head of the Den.- nison fork of the Forty Mile riv- CT. Both sides have been fol- lowing the trek of the caribou, which moved this winter by the hundreds of thousands from the American side to the Can- adian, taking a southern direc- ton toward the White River. The White Rivers resent the crossing of the Tananas from the American side.

THE GRAND JURY

The Juneau grand jury which wound Up it's business and turn ed in it's final report recently, acted upon 60 bind over cases, conducted II investigations and found 5S true bills and IT not true bills during the twenty five days it was in session. The report went into the fish ques- ton, condemning the use of the food fish of Alaska for the man ufacture of fertilizer; and re- commended that the output of the canneries be taxed ten cent a case for reds, and six cents per case for pinks, and all other fish in proportion, except that there be no tax oil fresh hali- but.
 It was also recommended that all hatcheries be conducted by the government, and that all revenues derived from the fish tax be SC taside for that purpose The grand jury also considered it proper that other parts of Alaska should be included in the rule which prohibits Sum- day fishing. It further announc es that none but citizens of the United States and natives of AL aska should be allowed to fish at any time. The report also went into the game law subject quite extensively and recom- mended a bounty of ten dollars on wolves and fifty cents on eagles.

ROOSEVELT A CANDIDATE

New York, Feb. 26.-Theo- dore Roosevelt, formerly presi- dent of the United States, is a candidate for nomination, sub iect to the will of the conven- ton. Such is the gist of a re- ply made by Colonel Roosevelt today at noon, in answer to a circular letter signed by the gov ernors of seven Middle States asking him to make a state ment as to whether or not he would make the race for nOmin- ation on the Republican ticket.
 "L will accept the nomination for president, if rendered to me-" said Roosevelt. "I shall adhere to this decision until the convention at Chicago has eX- pressed its preference l had hoped that the people would have been given a chance to eX- press their preference for can didates, through the medium of the direct primaries, but as such cannot be now, l must bend my energies at getting majority support.
 Colonel Roosevelt left New York for Boston at o'clock this afternoon and thousands were at the station to bid him adieu. Roosevelt's name was on every tongue in New York today and if popular sentiment goes for anything, his stock still rates A No. 1 in New York city. The colonel is attending a conference of state Republi- can politicians in Boston this afternoon.
