 {: ALSO GOES DOWN.

The Canadian telegraph lines went down yesterday just after the stop page of communication by cable. A Gateway dispatch via the Canadian route got held up enrOute in conse- ouence and Mir. Zwink was notified
 the fact last evening. This is written at 10 a. m. and no sign of outside news has appeared yet. The columns of the Gateway will tell for themselves how good providence will, or will not, be before press time. 1t is a remarkable fact that the Cana dian line always goes down after the cable fails and it makes person suspicious that our Canadian friends are lot very anxious to transmit long cheap press messages. As the Gate ways telegraph service is the largest north of British Columbia and Seattle it is probably the first to get the of ficial axe.

 OF WAY.

JAPANESE ARMY Is
 PROBABLY IN RUSSIA.
Seward Man has Papers Bearing Out Truth of Statement by His
 Brother in Archangel.

That Japanese troops have really landed in Russia is a story which has some foundation, judging by foregin newspapers. Two days ago, r. Kruhsa, a Russian of this city, told the Gate way that a brother had written him from Archangel, Russia, saying that the Japanese had actually landed there to aid the Russian army. Now Mir. Kruhsa has produced newspapers in his own language bearing out the truth of this statement. The follow ing is translation of the printed ac- counts:
 From the Proletarects, New York, Sept. 10 Published by the Lettish Socialist Labor Federation of America )-Japanese bankers report the first Japanese division of between 5OO,COO and 75O,OOO men will pass through Vladivostock and Port Arthur and proceed direct to the Baltic and Poland fronts, going by way of the Trans Siberian railway.
 From the same paper, Aug. 27.- (Ofiicial news from Tokio)-The Japanese government has a large body of troops and great quantities of ammunition ready for transporta- tion to Russia.
 From Strahdneeks (The Worker) Published at Boston by the National Lettish Organization Tokio, Aug. 26-A conference of English, French Russian and Italian diplomats with the Japanese Premier, Okuma, has been held for some time. As result all Japanese government arsenals and factories and several private factories are working full time on ammunition and supplies for Russia. Three or four new factories of great capacity are being erected by private capital to fill similar orders.
 From the Proletareets, Sept. 3. New York.-Large numbers of Austrian and German prisoners have been sent to Tomsk and TObalsk, the two largest cities and commercial centers of Siberia. They are being put to work on municipal improve ments and are being paid three to four rubles per day.

O'CONNOR HOME IS
 GUTTED BY FIRE


 FAIRBANKS.-While the family was at a moving picture show last evening or shortly before 9:9O o'clock, fire originating from the cook stove, completely gutted the residence of John O'Connor at the corner of First avenue and Dunkle streets. The fire alarm was turned in from the Tom Gibson residence across the street but it had evidently been shoulder ing for some time when the firemen reached the scene, for when they se- cured entrance to the house, every thing was afame. AS result the building itself was all that could be saved after hard work on the part of the fremen.
 All of the personal effects of the family were lost, although it is be- lieved that the piano may be saved as the firemen state that they took particular pains to keep the chemical used in extinguishing the flames, from reaching it. One of the incidents not ed by the fremen when they entered the house, was the death of a canary which had evidently become complete ly asphyxiated by the smoke long be- fore the fire was discOvered.-News- Miner.

CORDOVA BOAT
 SUPPOSED LOST.
WHOLE FAMILY HAS PROBABLY BEEN BLOWN TO SEA
 AND DROWNED.

CORDOVA, Sept. S0.-That the whole Ibach family of this locality has been blown to sea and drowned there is now only too much reason to fear.
 Joseph Ibach, his wife and the two children, accompanied by William B. Hancock, left this city on power boat for Middleton island on August 21 and not a word has since been heard of them. Some uneasiness has existed for some time but nothing has been said as there has been a hope that the boat only drifted ashore some place along. the coast and that the oc- cupants would have been able to reach some settlement. They have not arrived at Middleton island and inquiries at all the points along the way have not resulted in finding the least trace of the party. Severm strong gales have blown since the boat left Cordova and there is only too much reason to believe that the little craft has drifted out to the open ocean.
