Said to Have Gone Asore Near Tishou
 River or Point Douglas

That the steamship Corwin has gone ashore at Point Douglas near the mouth of Tishou river some fifty miles above the city of Nome is the news brought in last night by the Mariposa. The complete story of the occurrence has not been made known and if the ship were in danger the outside correspondents would proba- bly, have heard about it and telegraph ed it to this paper. The Corwin IS the famous little vessel that usually gets to Nome first every year. She mas recently been purchased by Sew ard Peninsula people including Jafet Linderberg, Walter Johnson, the dredge man, and some others and has been under the captaincy of Captain Dick Healy who is well known in Nome shipping circles. During the summers now she plies between Nome and the points to the northwards. She met with an accident last summer on Puget Sound when her boilers were taken out causing her to get top heavy and turn over.

TROOPS EXHAUSTED

PARIS, Sept 22-The battle of the Asne opened this morning with diminished violence showing that the limit of human endurance has about been reached This fact said to be particularly noticeable around Rheims where
 the most fierce fighting has been going on for several days under conditions that terrible for the combatants The soldiers have been soaked with the rains constantly and have in many been compelled to fight in the night time so that they completely worn out But, strange to say the fighting in the neghbOrhOod of
 little place called Craonne is ercer than and the struggle is being maintained there today with the same fury that distinguished the first days of the war For more than week the opposing hosts have been facing each other while the limbs of every soldier ached and while every stomach longed for something warm All the time death has been close to every man and perhaps never before in the history of mankind have been put through such an awful ordeal

GOVERNMENT WILL CONTINUE
 WORK ALREADY UNDER WAY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-That the government works already start ed will be continued and that the president is exceedingly anxious to pass the Alaska coal leasing bill at once with view to the speedy open ing of the coal fields is the only infer ence which can be drawn from the proceedings in congress today. 1t is certain that the republican filibuster against the rivers and harborS bill has been victorious and the senate com mittee has reported favorably for the appropriation of twenty millions of dollars for the continuation of the government projects which have al- ready been put under way and for which appropriations have already been made by congress.
 The house bill provided for the ap- propriation of ffty-five millions for the work already started but the pres ident is satisfied with the reduction to twenty millions and there is now noth- ing apparently in the way to prevent the passing of the bill.
 The president has again expressed the desire to have the river and har- bors bill expedited in one way or the other whether it is successful or not in order that the Alaska coal leasing bill may have chance. In accord ance with this wish of the president the Alaska bill has already been ta- ken up and it is now being considered by the senate. All of the facts put together have made Alaskan people here believe that haste will be the or der in the matter of Alaskan develop ment from this time forward. There is a hope expressed that the hurry manifested in the passing of the coal bill portends quick action in railroad matters.

The Nenana river runs into the Ia mana about sixty miles below the city of Fairbanks. The withdrawal of land for a townsite at that place is significant to say the least and can hardly be called a pleasant bit of in- formation for the people of the Ia mana capital. The decision to with draw the townsite is no doubt due to reports sent in by memberi of the government commission and this fact is also significant as going to show that the project is advan 'irg all the time without the advance showing on the surface.

NOME, Sept. 22.-The gasoline schooner Teddy Bear has arrived here after an absence of five years on a trading trip in the Arctic and during that time she has established a record.

THREATENING EACH OTHER

The allies have advanced at points where the danger to the Germans is greatest and in this respect at least the battle may be said to be going in the favor of the allied armies Their advance west of NOyOn in the department of the Disc threatens the Germans right seriously while the advance of the Germans between Rheims and the dis trct of ArgOnne seems to threaten the allied lines of treat and communication.
