TREMENDOUS LOSSES.
Impossible to Estimate Even Approx
mately Casualties in Last Battle.

PARIS. Sept. 10, 800 Il. m. - The
official communications issued have
neglected to state the losses thus fan
which as in the case of the fights of
the battle of the Marine, are almost i'm
possible to estimate even approximate
~. Some unofficial reports give the
losses of the allies at 10000 and those
of the Germans at 100000 in the series
of engagements. How near these fig
ures are to the truth no one will know
until official figures are compiled

DELEGATE CLAIMS
 TO BE REPUBLICAN

VALDEZ, Oct. 15.-Delegate James wickersham repudiated the Progress. siye Democratic party at this place in effect in his speech when he claimed adherence to Republicanism, but ad' mitted that he was independent and running as an independent. He refus- ed to say word here in behalf of the Legislative candidates on the ''wickersham" ticket-or the so-called Progressive Democratic" ticket, and gave scant praise to the Wilson ad' ministratior.
 He attempted to show that Charles E. Bunnell had been a Republican, but failed to get away with it. The letters which he said that he had from Bun- nell proving the charge simmered down to one letter in which Bunnell had said. q have always supported you" However. the letter also inform ed him that Bunner expected in that campaign to support the Democratic nominee. Judge R. W. Jennings.
 Speaking of Territorial government Delegate wickersham said:
 q wrote every word of the AL
 aska organic act, giving home rule
 to Alaska"
 He attacked Col. w. F. Richardson and claimed for himself credit for SC curing the Valdez dyke.
 No Word For Australian Ballot or tho
 Direct Primary.
 He advocated pure" ballot, bu said nothing for the Australian bauo or direct primary.
 He attacked Socialists and Social ism.
 He said that he did not see how an! man with drop of American blooC in him can oppose self-goyerument but paid no attention to the charge that had been made against him be fore the speech in the Prospector tha he had written letter in 1907 to Gov Hoggatt in which he said Alaska wa! not ready for self-goyernment and tha a Territorial form of government wa! only advocated by "stew buns"
 Delegate Wickersham left for Cor dova in a launch.

GERMANS LOAN DEBTS
 TO GOVERNMENT

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-A Paris spec ial to the New York Herald says Swiss merchants in reply to demands on German merchants for payment O accounts due have received the follow ing:
 "We are not in a position to send you liquidation for your in- voices, as it is not in the interest of the German Empire, while at war, to forward actual money any where. We are convinced that you wish with all your hearts for the success of the German Empire in this war, and we presume that you consent to the placing of your claim on us in the German war loan at per cent. In consequence we have this date credited you in the German war loan at 5 per cent the interest to be carried by us to the credit of your account"

VALDEZ. Oct. 15.-The Valdez Pros, pector attacked Delegate Wicker. sham's record in Alaska furiously in answer to his speech in this city. It characterized him as the greatest bunco artist" in the North. It accus. ed him Of becoming a supporter of home rule in order to get elected as Delegate to Congress, and in support of the allegation 1t cited letter that he had written to Gov Hoggatt in op- position to the proposition as late az 1907.
 It showed that he had not begun his way on the Guggenheims until after they had refused to employ him as their attorney at a salary of s15.0OO a year. It controverted his often-made statement that if he had been attorney for the company there would have been no Hasey tragedy, by showing that he had sought to be employed to defend Hasey, after the latter had shot five men in the Keystone canyon
 It showed that his Fairbanks man. ager. Representative Dan Driscoll, had defeated the Ingram Australian ballot bill in the Legislature.
 Nelson Got Dyke Appropriation.
 The Prospector presented the sri- dence that the Delegate had spoken falsely when he claimed credit for the appropriation for the Valdez dyke, and showed that the bill making the appropriation was introduced by Ssn- ator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, and at the request of Col. w. P. Richard son, and that Wickersham had had nothing to do with him.
 It accused him of protecting the fisheries of Alaska from control by the people of the Territory by the linn itations he had written into his so- called home rule bill.
 It showed how miserably his attack on BunneI had failed. and, in contrast with the Delegate, it showed that Mir. Bunnel's record, all made at Valdez, had been exceptional good.
