WASHINGTON IS ANXIOUS
 OVER IMPENDING BATTLE

These advicrS come direct from th" City of Mexico and on g"ud authority it is stated that th" Mexican admin istration as well as the Washlugtou administration see in tn" battle for the possession of Torrcon the real test of Huerta's power.
 Federal endorsements are being rushed into the city while the army of the constitutionalists is closing in CT the place and the situation is re- Lardcd as the most critical that has yet arisen between the federal and ccnstitutionalist armies. If the fedcr als can hold the town or if their re- lief troops can drive the constitu- tionalists back it is believed that the revolution will collapse. but on the other hand. if the rebel troops sue ceed in taking this stronghold they will greatly increase their prestige and will at the same time gain many recruits from the federal ranks.
 This impending battle which may prove to be the last stand of the fed eral arms against the constitutional ists, coupled with the information just received from Mexico City that the foreign minister of Mexico is voluntar- fly seeking to open negotiations with President Wilson's special represen- tative at Vera Cruz gives the ad- ministration hope that the beginning of the end has been reached in the long drawn out Mexican trouble and

SEATTLE, March l9--That the celebration in honor of the passage of tho Alaska railroad bill and the promised opening up of the territory will be one of the greatest celebrations 1T, tho history of Seattlo, if not of the entire west coast, seems likely.
 Never before in the history of this city has there been such unboundcI ei thusasm ever cvinced from all quarters as is being shown in connec- tion with the big day that is being arranged for next Saturday when the whole city will tc turned into one gigantic mass meeting and holiday making crowd of rooters for the ter ritCry.
 Many novel suggestions have been made as to the manner of conducting the celebration and the committee in charge is flooded with suggestions and offers of assistance in the way of participation in the many proposed events. All of the Alaskans here. and trey seem to be as thick as bees around hive, want to get in on the performance and half of the inhabi- tants of Seattle will be out in parkas and mukluks on the big day.
 One interesting feature of the pro- gram which has already been arrang- ei for is the running through the streets of Seattle. over the tracks on Second avenue, of thd first truely Alaskan railroad train. This train will be composed of an engine and flat cars loaded with an exhibit of Alaska products. This train will rep resent the future fast frcights that will swing into the terminal ports of the road loaded down with the pro- duce of the fields and orchards of AL aska which arc destined for the mar kets of the west coast. Everything that grows in the northern territory will be exhibited on this wonderful train and it will be liberal educa- ticn in the productiveness of the ter ritory to many of the people of Seat tic as well as to the hundreds of the
 rists from the east who are here at this season of the year.

 News has been received here from Mexico City that fifteen hundred more troops have hurriedly been sent to the north by Huerta and that he is arranging to get every available man a' present in the capital out to the front as transportation can be pro- vided.
 There will be kept in the Mexican capital only sufficient troops to pro- tect the president and prevent riots and every man who can bear arms will be forced into the fighting line and sent at once to the front.
