Riggs Outlines Railway
 Boards Work In Detail

SEATTLE. May s1.-"It must De borne In mind all the time, said Thomas R. Riggs. jr, member of the Alaska railroad commission who was n guest of the Commercial Club to- day. that we are not locating the Al. aska railroad. We are making loca' ton surveys. The route of the road will be selected by the President. We are directed first of all to survey the Susitna route It is generally and by common consent admitted that tho pur' pose is to make Fairbanks the north ern terminus of the road, and opera tions will proceed from there immed- lately in the location survey work.
 "The survey which we are directed to make win extend up the valley of the Susitna. crossing to the cholitna and up that river to it's head, over in to Broad pass, aud down the Nenana to the Tarana river.
 'The survey may then follow the Panama to Fairbanks, or 1t may leave the Nenaua river at Healy Crossing and 20 through the Nenana coal field and the Bonnifeld country into Fair banks
 'Tf the road Is extended to the Yu- kon river. the main line would either cross the Panama river at Nenana, or, If the line should leave the Nenana at Healy Crossing. it would cross the Panama at or near Fairbanks.
 "Tf we can complete the field work. as we hope to. by the middle of oc- tober. we will all gather at some place on Prince William Sound. A- ter visiting all the ports in that sec ton for the purpose of gathering data on the local conditions, possible har' Dor facilities and the probabilities of development along other railroad lines than the one we shall have surveyed in the Susitna and Nenana valleys. we shall begin work on our reports and estimates of the cost of building via various lines. We believe We should be able to get at work on the data thus obtained about the first of December, and have our report ready to submit to the President about April 1st.
 50 far as the scope of our duties are concerned. our work will have been completed then. The President is authorized by the law to select the route. He will do that after he shall have received the results of our years work. Then. or before then, the plans for the construction of the railroad will be made. Our report, of course, will contain many things that will be of use to the construction engineers"

HTS AT
 VERA CRUZ CAPTURE

OYSTER BAY. N. Ys May 21.-eoL Theodore Roosevelt was most emphat- ic yesterday in his opposition to the proposed treaty with Colombia which proposes to pay that country $25,OOO,- GOO for Panama. He referred to the demand for money as "blackmail." He was particularly opposed to the pro vision in the treaty which expresses the regret of the United States that differences between that country and the United States should have risen. He said, among other things, If the united States submits to this, some future President of the United States should apologize to some future sue cessor of Huerta for the seizure of Vera Cruz"
