For Presenting Their Side and
Original Demands of Train
men Viii Be Taken Up.

NEW YORK, July 26.-The eastern
railroads today Withdrew their de-
mand that their grievances against
their employees should be considered
by the federal board appointed to arr
bltrate the demand for better wages
and working conditions made by con-
ductors and trainmen. The managers
decision was announced after they had
spent the morning in consultation by
telephone and telegraph with the
presidents OF their roads. It was am
nounced in the form OF letter adj
dressed to the board OF mediation and
conciIiation.
After a brief conference with ethe
labor leaders, the mediators announc-
ed that .the articles of arbitration
would present the sixteen original de-
mands OF the employees without
change. The only point won by the
railroads was an agreement that the
decision of the arbitrators should be-
come effective October ] instead OF
being retroactive.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 26-
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson on
his arrival here for conferences on
the Mexican situation with president
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, an

While declining to divuIge III

views to the president and Mr. Bry7

severely criticized both william bay

.Indeed / believe the Senate COM

Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson was vehement in his
criticism of the Constitutionalists and
the Madero family. THE Madero
family asserted the ambassador.

Washington to poison the public mind.
AS to the rebels there really is none

Mr.. Wilson suggested that hardly

to have foreign powers from Central

mediate the troubles in Mexico. Why
that would be an overthrow of the
principles of the Monroe doctrine and
the Mexicans would resent that inter

once made by John Barrett, director
general OF the Panama-American
Union. Mr.. Barrett and I are personal
friends and I have great respect for
him but / don't think much of that
suggestion"

conterepces, he said "I'n certainly

tax AsseeIArEo raEso1


NEW YORK, July ga series OF
rapid fire conferences between the
federal medIators and. the railroad
managers and conductors and train
men that ended early today brought
the question of arbitration between
the railroads and the employees TO
the verge of settlement.
The conferes got only few
hours sleep and when they resumed
work this morning 1t was hoped that
before the end OF the day both sides
would agree upon what matters
shall be laid before the board of ar
sitration for final decision.
The principal question that re-
mains, it was said, was the date upon
which the new wage scale demanded
by the conductors and trainmen
shall become effective provided the
increase is granted.
The employees wish the new scale
to take effect from May 1. last. The
railroads believe that it should not
become effective until January, I
1914.

 CASE ON TRIAL

In the case of H. c. Strong against Alaska.Juneau Gold Mining Company and R. A. Kinzie a hearing is being is being held today before Judge R, w. Jennings on the order to show cause. Counsel for both plaintiff and the defense made opening statements and the plaintiff commenced putting in testimony this morning. The suit in- wolves the right of possession to cer' tain waterfront properties claimed by both parties to the action, the title to which each party claims through Indian settlers.
 The only witnesses examined up to 2:SO this afternoon were Jimmy Jack son and Jennie Jackson, both Indians testifying for plaintiff.
 The plaintiff claims title through purchase from Frank Booth, grand son of one Amatina. an Indian, who it is alleged. was the original settler on the land in question. The defense claims title through purchase from Ye' To-Colic. better known as Aux Bay Jim. and a brother of Amatina, now deceased. There was hearing be fore Judge P. D. Overfeld on practi' cally the same issue. and the injunc' tion was denied. but the plaintiff claims to have new evidence now. At any rate the court house corridors are flooded with natives and others who will probably be called in the case.
 Among the we'll known characters seen around the premises were Ye-To' Colic, or Aux Bay Jim, Sheep Creek Mary, Mussel Shell Frank, Chief Ana Ka.Thlash. Wes Waydelich, Jennie Jackson and Jimmy Jackson.

RAT WAY BILL MAY WIN OUT YET
MUST NOT GOVERN
 ALASKA FROM EAST

Former Gov Walter E. Clark left Seattle for the East week ago to- day. He spent two or three days at Seattle before departing, Before leav- ing he gave the Seattle Post,Intelligen' Ger an interview in which he discussed Alaska affairs, as follows:
 Gov. Strong will make Alaska a fine executive Party lines are insignificant in the North compared with the good of the country. And it is very essen tial that the Governor of Alaska be in close touch and have the hearty sup port of the national administration at Washington. l had that support dur ing my service in the North. The pub lie service of the North has been great ly improved, l believe, and l worked to that end, my recommendations being generally followed in appointing men to government positions. It is unfortu' nate that the judiciary in the North cannot be left alone, as the present judges are men of high quality. l trust the men supplanting them will be equally good.
 "The affairs of Alaska should be ad- ministered in Alaska, and not by de- partmental bureaus at Washington. l was able to accomplish a good deal in that direction. The powers granted to the Alaska legislature, while limited, tend greatly to self.government. The first session, completed May l, wrote some valuable laws, and also provided
 an official source which recommen- dations can be made to Congress. Four members of the Alaska Senate will go to Washington next winter to present in person to Congress the memorials of the Legislature. This will give those recommendation much greater weight than any private petitions.
 Two Great Problems to Solve.
 "Te two great problems of Alaska, the railroad and transportation Ques- tion and the coal question, remain un- settled, am sorry to say. I believe that during my term as much was done toward bringing them to a just set clement as was possible With the co, operation of the national administra- tion. Gov. Strong is in position to press them to a favorable decision, so that development of the Territory may go rapidly forward.
 Along some useful lines was able to make good progress. The best of these was in getting lighthouses for the northern coast. About two hundred lights have been established in the last four years, and appropriations have all ready been made for others.
 Quartz Mining Most Active.
 "The greatest development now un' der way in the North is in quartz min- ing in Southeastern Alaska, Juneau is booming as never before. With the building of railroads, the whole terri tory will feel a great impetus of prog ress. In many ways I am sorry to leave the North, although l was more than ready to lay down the duties of the governorship."

He said that such lobbying as is being practiced is far more dangerous to the country than would be attempts at bribery because it is more difficult to reach and is more effective because its motion is disguised.
