RUSHING 10
 AID TAHOMA
SENATOR STARTED FOR WRECK BUT HAS RESUMED V0Y-
 AGE TO NOME

SEATTLE, Sept. 24.-The Cordova has gone to the aid of the wrecked cutter Tahoma and the Senator has resumed her journey to Nome. When the calls for help came from the Ia homa the Senator started towards her but on finding that her help was not needed she resumed her voyage. The Patterson has gone from Unalaska to give aid and there is no doubt now that everything has been done that can serve. The Unalga is being re- paired here and will take the place of the Tahoma as soon as possible. The cutter will probably become a total loss although there is still some hope that she might be saved. The full ac- count of the disaster has not yet been given out but it is almost certainty that the crew is not in the least dan ger.

ALLIES OCCUPY PERRONNE

PARIS Sept 24-It is officially announced this morn ing that the allies have advanced considerably along the western wing and have occupied the city of PemOnne. All the other information given out shows that victory for the Germans in the present battle is out of the question and that only little time is required for the complete success of the allied forces On the eastern end of the battle line there has been desperate resistance by the Germans Along the Mouse the fighting has been most severe and both sides putting forth the most tremendous efforts The Germans and the allies have both taken the offensive during the past hours and both have advanced and retired alternately
 The result in that part of the field has not been decisive but in the west the allies claim that they have gained
 distinct advantage and the danger of defeat has been virtually removed The fighting for the possession of Per rome about the bloodiest of the General VOn Kuck abandoned the town days ago but later decd ed to re-occupy it. His efforts towards that end have fail ed completely and the allies are in possession.

WATCHFUl WAITING POLICY
 WILL STILL CONTINUE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-It is officially stated by the administration that the latest troubles between Car ranza and Villa will not cause an al- iteration in the plans of the United States for withdrawing the troops from Vera Cruz or for raising the ,mbargo on arms sent into Mexico. The government has not, however, fixed any time for the withdrawal of the troops and this is really regarded as the most important fact connected with the matter.
 President Wilson gave out an addi- tional statement to the effect thar Narranza and Villa must settle their differences without interference from this country and that the watchful waiting policy of the administration will continue.
 Reports this morning from Mexico add nothing new to the facts related
 mo reople and the pa pers in the states seem to believe that another period of turmoil is ahead for the neighboring republic and that this country can hardly escape being drawn into a serious mixup. No act nal fighting has been reported and Villa has not been directly quoted but 1t is regarded as certain that Car ranza has hard time before him.

WILSON TAXES
 SIDE OF MEN
REFUSES TO CONSIDER PRO- POSALS MADE BY EMPLOYERS;
 SAYS STRIKE MUST END

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-PreSi- dent Wilson has turned down badly the employers in connection with the Colorado coal strike and has taken up a position which shows that he is in strong sympathy with the strikers. President Welborn of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company presented to the president yesterday an alternative plan for the settlement of the strike but he got turned down badly. Presi- dent Wilson made proposals for set clement some time ago and the men immediately accepted them but the operators refused to agree to let some of the men return to work and this meant a refusal of the presi- dents terms. When Welborn made his alternative proposals President Wilson told him directly that an in- ternational arbitration board had drawn up the terms of settlement pre- sented by him, the president, and that it was the duty of the operators to ac- cept them. He refused point blank to consider the alternative plans and declared that compromise is impos- sible and that the public interests de- manded an ending to the strike.

GALESBURG, H., Sept. 24.- Theodore Roosevelt denies emphati- cally the rumor that the progressives intend to join any of the old parties In a speech delivered here he said that it was nothing less than absurd to draw such a conclusion from the fact that the progressives have fe- cided to aid democratic candidates in some of the elections in places where the progressives are not running. He declared that the progressives are pro- gressive in fact as well as in name and that they will aid all men of pro- gressive tendencies no matter to what party they are nominally affiliated unless reguar candidate of the pro- greSsive party opposes them.

DISCOVER RICH
 DRfDGf GROUND
HARRY HOBEN SAYS DRILL WILL BE KEPT WORKING
 ALL THE WINTER

The reason that the Hope-Sunrise district is booming is because they are taking out good money over there, said Harry V. Hoben of the Alaska Transfer company last night when asked about the conditions of the Turnagain Arm camp. Mir. Hoben has just returned for couple of weeks spent in that section and is enthusias- tic over the showing that the various properties are making there this sea- son.
 French and Heron have lined up the pay through the Lawson home stead and have demonstrated enough values even now to warrant them in installing a dredge. They have un- covered twenty-five feet of dirt that will average six dollars to the yard and that is bonanza ground in any country. At the present time they are drilling on the old townsite of Sunrise and are meeting with en- couraging results.
 Hope is doing especially well this season and a half dozen outfits are taking out money enough to make a good camp. The Matthiesons and Gus Seiffert are doing exceptionally well and up the arm Dick Dawson has had the best season in the history of the Nutter and Dawson ground.
 It is the intention of French and Heron to keep the big drill that they have at Sunrise now, drilling all win ter on different tracts of ground in the Turnagain Arm section and by spring they ought to have enough pay developed to make a good camp there

WHY NOT MAIL
 ROUTE TO NOME
NOVEMBER WILL SEE BEGIN MING OF SEWARD AS REAL
 GATEWAY

The distance between Seward and Nome is 440 miles shorter than the distance between Cordova and Nome and yet for some extraordinary reason the mail to Nome is not sent through this city.
 Seward will see its first period as
 70 real gateway to the interior on the first of November when the mail will start for Iditarod. On the whole route to Iditarod there are only twelve miles without timber so that the trail S an ideal one. Colonel Revell will cave in the morning to look over part of the way. He believes that the opening of the Seward mail trail to the Ilitarod will mean probably that he mail trail to Nome will be taken into consideration.
 During the winter months the peo' pie of Nome are placed at very ser ious inconvenience owing to the length of the trail over which the mail is car ried to them and to the accidental de- lays which occur in proportion to the length. There is a movement afoot ,ow. it is understood, to get the CO., operation of the Nome people for the
 ork of having Seward chosen as the rateway for the mail It is certain lat the people of Nome only wait to learn that they can get their mail more quickly by this route.

Some time ago an in- terview was published from him in which he assailed the United States, its government and it's people. When the interview was brought to the at tention of the president Mir. Wilson at once asked the ambassador if he meant what he said and if he had been instructed by the Turkish gov ernment to make the statements at- tributed to him. Rustem Bey has an swered that he has not altered the views expressed by him and that he will leave the United States within a fortnight.
