 N HgEXLCAl MIXUP

The news cf the crisis in the relations between the United States and Mexico con t.in5d .a The Pioneers dispatches of last Monday aroused the martial spirit which lay dormant in the bosoms of many of i:lrarod's citizens Like the old war horse who picks lp his ears and begins to prance at the first sound of military bugle, the veterans of the Spanish-AmerI and Phil ipysMc campaigns felt the blood tingling through their veins and were peryad2d with patriotic arGor at the suggestion of the call to arms. The office of The Pioneer was hesicgeI with eager inquiries, and the dis patches furnished the principal topic of conversation in all gatherings, to the ev- cju,ion of other subjects, even the pending oielHng of navigation and the proposed Alaska railroad which have been the pre- y&lns themes for some time past, being lazated to the rear The fact ;h.. Idita- I.l ls many th. .s ads ui miles away from t.e scene of conflict does not operate to preyeat some of these veterans from ex- pressing desire to offer their services to tbeir country, and the chances are that i: call is made for volunteers, many will % from this district
 Among the many veterans in Iditarod are Major C. " Albreeht, who served with the Kentucky volunteers; Lieutenant E. M Stanton who Was an officer in the regular army stationed in the Philippines; Earl Bycrs Guy Gerraghty and Henry o. Roden.
 Considerable desultory talk has already been indulged in with reference to organ izing a volunteer militia company here, and Inquiries come from all parts of the district seeking information on the subject The manual of arms has become a subject of study. and already several impromptu drills have been lndulged in Certain of the par ticipants have unconsciously assumed 8 military air and carriage.
 Mir. Stanton has already telegraphed to the secretary of war an offer of his services, and there is little doubt that his offer will be accepted, as officers of his experience will be in great demand. That he will give 8 good account of himself when or dered to the front is taken as matter of course by his many friends here Earl Byers has also telegraphed an offer of his services to his old regimental commander ln Seattle.
 While there is a deep-seated feeling in the minds of many that hostlities between the two countries have been brought about by the avarice and greed of rich corpora tions this fact does not overshadw the real lty that American citizens are in jeopardy. and patriotism will prompt quick response to the nations call, should volunteers be needed
 Suggestions for the formation of mil tary company here have met with such a hearty response that it is not impossible that such action may be taken, as it is claimed that there will be more than a sufficient number of volunteers to form a full company
