ALL SEWARD
 WAS PRESENT
RAILROAD BUILDING CROWDED FOR THE RAILROAD
 CELEBRATION.

All Seward was present last night in the railroad building to hear speeches by Judge Brown and others and later to dance into the wee small hours of the morning as the only available means of manifesting their apprecia- ton of the fact that President Wilson and Secretary Lane have chosen Se- ward as the ocean terminal of the great Alaskan trunk line. The gath ering last night marked the close of the organized attempts of Seward to express itself collectively. The chief speaker of the evening was Judge F. M. Brown of the district court of the division. Other federal officials speaking were district Attorney Spence and Assistant Attorneys Nun ley and Whittlesey. The most notable feature of the district Judges address was the tone of advice and counsel. His words somehow carried a sug- gestion that recently some instruct ions might have been received from Washington regarding the attitude of federal officials in future with respect to certain sorts of business affairs. But this suggestion could well have been caused by what might be describ- ed as the juxtaposition of things spok- en and certain official action taken yesterday. Judge Brown is a man who makes friends, or, rather, a sort of man towards whom it is impossible to feel anything but friendship or think anything except that he is guided by a strict sense of justice and honor. For this reason his speech was very pleasant and well received.
 Mir. Lindblad, local versifer, read lines appropriate to the occasion but the only other Seward man who had a leading part in the affair was May or Myers who introduced the speakers and went through his first task of the nature with flying colors. So crowded was the big hall for dancing that only a portion of the people were able to take part. But the whole occasion was most brilliantly successful.

CHARGE M 'ADOO
 OF CONSPIRING
SECRETARY AND COMPTROLLER OF TREASURY CRAVE
 LY ACCUSED.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Riggs of the National Bank has filed a com plaint charging Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Comptroller Williams of conspiracy to wreck the bank by illegal inquistions. Riggs declares that the cabinet minister and the comptroller tried to ruin the bank because the bank officers had criticized Williams because of decree made by him in 1913. At that time, the com plaint says, McAdoo cursed the off cials of the bank and threatened them and since then has been prosecuting them and withdrawing government deposits. A.tempOrary injunction has been obtained by the bank to prevent the forcing of the payment by the bank to the government of five thou sand dollars alleged interest due on government bonds. The charge has caused a sensation and an answer is expected today or tomorrow.

STILL FIGHTING
 THE AUSTRIANS
PETROGRAD CLAIMS AUSTRIAN RIGHT WING DRIVEN
 BACK.

PETROGRAD, April 14.-The Austrian right wing has been driven in on the Hungary side of the BesSid mountains after twelve hours of fierce and bloody fighting. The Russians now hold the main crest of the range in this neighborhood and have arriv- ed at a point fifteen miles south of the Dukla pass. The Austrians are still holding Uszok pass but several of the important heights surrounding it have been captured by our troops. The enemy is fighting with dogged de- termination and the losses on both sides are terrible owing to the nature of the warfare necessary in the mountain defiles and summits. The Russians have unquestionably advanc- ed in the past few days and there is every reason to be gratifed at the success gained by our armies.

BERLIN SAYS
 NO CHANGE YET
REPORTS CONnITIONS EAST AND WEST ARE THE
 SAME.

BERLIN, April 14.-The official re- port this morning declares that no change has taken place in the relative positions of the belligerents either in the eastern or western field The western fighting is limited, The long expected attempt at a general advance on the part of the French has dwindl- ed to minor attacks which have been repulsed everywhere. The attacks are chiefly being delivered around St. Mihiel but without result. In the east matters are also in the same con- dition as reported week ago. The Germans have fortified their positions in France and Belgium so strongly that the task of dslodging them is be- lieved to be altogether impossible no matter how mighty the forces that can be brought against us there. The tremendous numerical superiority of the allied forces prevents our armies from continuing the offensive move ment without delays made inevitable by the necessity for moving reinforce ments from point to point along both lines.

DARDANELLES
 FIGHT GOES ON
BRITISH CRUISER REPORTED HIT AND DIS
 ABLED.

CONSTANTNOPLE, April IA The allied fleet has resumed the bonn bardment of the Dardanelles forts but the forts are answering effectively. The British cruiser Destroyer has been hit by several shells and from the accounts received the effect has been to disable her. The forts have been strengthened considerably since the last bombardment and there is some surprise that another lombard ment would be attempted as the task before the fleet is now far more diff cult than it was before. The Turkish government has now concentrated a great force to defend this city and even if the fleet of the enemy succeeds in reaching ConStantinople the danger of taking the city would not be great. In other fields the Turkish generals claim important successes.

FAIRBANKS
 GREETS US
TWO CITIES SOON JOIN ED BY BANDS OF

That Fairbanks greets Seward most cordially and that she most warmly wishes that the two towns will soon be joined is evident from the telegram received by Mayor Myers yesterday from Mayor M. c. Smith of the Tan ana metropolis and the otheg terminal of the Alaska government railroad The following is the telegram received from the Fairbank, mayor:
 "Thanks for congratulations regard ing railroad terminus Fairbanks re- turns compliment to Seward. Trust that the near future will see our cities joined by bands of steel"

and that there are plenty of men in Alaska to do it. However, he also says that work will be carried out all next winter in the places where heavy rock work is necessary There are many such places, he declares.
 (Note) This dispatch is given 'as it came The reference to the Cop per River railroad and Controller bay probably means that there is an in- tention to tap the Boring river fields later on but this seems so unlikely that there is probably an error in the meSsage.)

END OF WAR FURTHER AWAY
LONDON ADMITS IT WILL LAST LONGER THAN FIX
 PECTED.

LONDON, April 14.-It is now ful- ly admitted here that the end of the great war is not to come as soon as it had been expected. This admission does not mean in the least that the British or the other allies are not just as sure of ultimate victory but it does mean that the Germans and Austrians have greater resources than had been figured upon. The chief reason for this expression at this time is the coming of the news that the Austrians mentS in the Carpathians and are offer ments in the Carpthians and are offer ing stubborn resistance notwith- standing the reports from Petrograd. So serious has the liquor situation be- come in the British islands owing to the abnormal conditions created by the war that the British government is now considering the advisability of establishing control over the traffic altogether to prepare for the long struggle ahead and to guard against labor troubles at time when the em- pire is pressed to the utmost to supply it's armies with endorsements and equipment. The fact that fine spring weather has been here for some time and that no general advance has been made in the west has caused once again a sensation of uneasiness.

The Chinese people seem to have been driven to the limit of their patience and if the government continues to show weak ness revolution is sure to follow.

NEW YORK, April 14.-It is stat ed that Billy Sunday will be asked to go to England to conduct the prohibi- tion campaign wich is about to start in the British Islands. The papers here say so in their news columns but many of them ridicule the idea editor ially as they believe Billy's methods would not at all exercise the effect desired in that country.

LONDON, April 14.-The women of England are now coming forward to take part in the actual fighting for their country. Thirty-three thousand women have already registered as volunteers, not to nurse nor for any other purpose than to take the places of the men actually fighting in the trenches. It is even possible that they will be used to face the bullets as their wish actually is. Many of them are women who belonged to the mill tant suffragette party.

PARIS, April 14.-The war in the west has been quiet for the past few days and the official reports have very little to record this morning. 1t is admitted that the severe offensive in- itiated a week or two ago by our troops has slackened but the enemy has gained no advantage. Germany and France are still bringing up new troops as fast as they can get them ready. While the allies have not yet succeeded in driving the enemy back there is not the least fear that the Germans can advance.
