MEXICAN LEADERS
 WANT CARRANzA
Dramatic Scene When Provisional President ResIons-stormy Session
 and Resignation Rejected.

MEXICO CITY. Oct. 5.-one of the most dramatic scenes eyer witnessed in this city teok place last Saturday afternoon when Provisional President Carrapxa read to the assembled gov ernQrs and military leaders his res ignation as provisional president. which had been forced upon him by General Villa. the Constitutonaltst leader of the north, who insists up- on the constitution being obeyed to the letter.
 Carranza was overcome with emo tion when he read to the conference his resignation and many of the hard ened soldiers, who had seen men slaughtered without the slightest show of feeling. wept silent tears.
 A stormy debate followed the res- ignation and the leaders, all of whom are from southern states. Villa and the northern states not being repre- sented, insisted upon General Car ranza retaining the presidency. The resignation was rejected and Carran- ga still retains the presidency.
 Enough opposition was manifested by some of the members of tho con ference to cause trouble and for a time 1t looked as # bloodshed would follow. While the majority of the members of the conference insisted on CarranEa remaining, few coun- seled the naming of another pro visional president. Carranxa. how ever. stated that he would be can didate for the presidency against any man desired by General Villa.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-Late this after- noon reports were received from Gen. eral French telling of severe fighting at Douai north of Arras. The report of fighting near the Belgian border indicates that the allies have made re- markable progress and that the en- circling movement has been pushed north until it almost reaches the Bel gian frontier.
 Achievements for Both Armies.
 The reports indicate that the Brit ish have been strongly reinforced by the arrival of the British-Indian troops and also by the third army from England and the French have also brought north more men, weak ening all the garrisons at southern forts in the effort to crush the Ger mans now in France.
 Portugal To Join Allies.
 Under an old treaty with Portugal England may call upon that country to send troops in any war on the continent. The treaty was made years ago when England stood between the French and the conquest of Spain and Portugal. British transports are now at Lisbon and it is expected the Port uguese troops will be sent to France within a week and that Portugal will join the allies in the war on German militarism.

SKELETON FOUND
 IN LONELY SPOT
Prospector Finds Remains of Human Being Near Mouth of Big
 Oshetna River.

John King, who formerly lived at Cordova. Is believed to have suffer ed a tragic death in a lonely spot near the mouth of the Big Oshetna river. The finding of the skeleton was reported to Commissioner Shaw. of Nelchina, and an investigation is now being conducted to learn the identity of the man.
 The skeleton was found by Andy Conrad, well known prospector. who was returning to Nelchina from Talkeetna mountains, where he had spent the summer prospecting. He reached the mouth of the Big Oshetna at nightfall and in looking around for place to camp came across a tent. The tent was unoccupied and showed signs of long absence by the owner. The clothing was moulded and the stove and cooking utensils mass of rust. Conrad's dogs acted in 8 strange manner and upon inves- tigation he came across the remains of a human being. The wild animals had scattered the bones, but unmis- takable signs showed that the man had died near the entrance of the tent.
 Conrad found a number of bills in a tomato can in the tent which show ed that deceased had made purchases in Seward in April. 1910. Upon an Identification card was found the in- formation that deceased was John King. and that he had lived at Cor dova. Deceased also kept a diary. the last entries of which showed that 1t was showing every day and from this 1t Is adduced that deceased had came to his death early in the winter of 1910. One of the entries stated that he had discovered ground which av- eraged four cents per pan. An old rocker found near the tent showed that 1t had been used.
 Conrad gathered up the remains and inferred them at the lonely spot where deceased had closed his career. The diary and papers were turned over to Commissioner Shaw.
