GUNS HEARD AFAR OFF
 BUT NOT CLOSE IN

GENEVA, Feb. 5.-Scientists are endeavoring to explain the peculiar phenomena by which the artillery fire of the armies near the Swiss border can be plainly heard in the Bernese Alps, while there are zones of silence fully 25 miles wide.
 The cannOnading in Southern AL sace can be heard with great distinct ness near the frontier on the Swiss side, then for some distance it can not be heard at all, while on the Jung frau and other peaks it is so plain that it seems to come from some point far inside the frontier.
 Dr. Quereanin of Zurich, noted physicist, has given considerable study to these zones of silence, but has not yet found any good reason for them.

WASHINGTON Feb 6.-That actual construction work on the Alaska railroad will be proceeding in June is the statement of Secretary Lane of the Interior depart
 ment What of the greatest interest to Aaskans here is that the representative of the Alaska Northern railroad has been in consultation with Lane all the week Every thing has been kept with extraordinary secrecy but the stenographc account of Lanes remarks before the ap- propaon committee of the house was made public today and throws far clearer light the whole matter
 The report shows that Lane told the committee that he wanted to begin actual construction work in June on whatever route would be selected Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropriations committee asked Mr. Lane was his intention to have enough money to purchase road and also to proceed with the construction. To this the secretary answered yes and went on to say that he wanted only enough money to make deposit If 1t was de- cded to purchase railroad Mr. Lane also stated that wanted to proceed immediately to get out the coal from the Alaska fields The remainder of the remarks of Mr. Lane hardly throw any light other phases of the ques ton The extraordinary secrecy that being maintained is being commented generally Even the officials ot the interior department have been ordered to gveOut no n formation This very secrecy accepted by the newspap CT men at the capitol as clearly showing that the whole

 Some Day.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Canegie and Rockefeller were the witnesses before the Industrial Relations commission yesterday. They were chiefly quest toned with relation to the "Founda- tions" for the aiding the poor and each warmly declared that the Foundations were good institutions. Carnegie sta ted that up to the end of last year he had donated for charity three hunderd and fifty millions of dollars. Another noteworthy remark made by him was that in his opinion the time will come when capital and labor will be all the same. Rockefeller declared that he had not interested himself in the strike in Colorado because at that time he had retired from business.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
 RAILROAD MATTER OUTSIDE.
Seattle Star Thinks Morgan is Try ing to Beat Uncle
 Sam.

Just to show how the sale of exist ing railroads in Alaska is viewed out side the following article from the Seattle Star of Jan. 20 is enlighten- ing;
 The Copper River & Northwestern Railroad crosses the Copper river on a $2,OOOOOO steel bridge a short dis tance below the Childs glacier. A short distance indeed! The north prong of that ice river has just advan- ced 1 1,66O feet in a single year, and at present IS only 400 feet from the bridge!
 Another Seasons progress will bring it to the Abutments of that man-reared structure and crush it like a fly under the thumb of blacksmith The railroad, if it wishes, can build a new bridge 500 feet lower down. That would cost another $2,000,00O, and when the ice flow crossed the narrow intervening strip, away would go another fortune.
 Beyond that, typographical hind rances stand in the way of any furth- CT evasions of natures mandate "Thou Shalt Not Enter Here"
 Five miles up the river the railroad encounters even a more serious ob- stacle. For five and half miles it runs across the face of the Allen glacier-not in front of it, or along side of it,but on top the naked ice. And Allen Glacier has started a rapid advance. The tracks are thrown ire quently out of alignment, and in short time, if the flow continues, traffic will be an impossibility, repairs or re- construction a travesty.
 On the east side of the stream the choice of alternative route is impos- sible by the towering eight-mile face of Miles glacier. And it, too, is ad- vancing.

Dissatisfied with the Manner in which Carranza is Running
 Things.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-There is very good reason to believe that all the foreign diplomats in Mexico are now discussing the desirahility of quitting the republic altogether chief ly because of the manner in which Carranza is treating them. CaGranza is now apparently successful in the effort to grab the reins of power and the star of Villa seems to be ir the de- scendant although he has taken on himself the title of president. IL may be that he will try to follow out his old idea of dividing Mexico into two seperate governments.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Secretary Lane stated officially today that he wants the construction work on the Alaska government railroad to start in June and that his object is to get to the coal fields as soon as possible, Nothing further can be told about the other matters relating to the road The same doubt still exists as to the intention with regard to the purchase of existing roads. However, the state ment that actual work will start in June is taken by Alaskans here as the chief thing worth knowing.
 Richard S. Ryan has come forward with an offer to build a railroad from Controller Bay to coal fields and says it can be done ;n forty miles.

 Nearly 40 years ago the glaciers in all parts of the world began to melt faster than they built up, and then to retreat. This was due to lessening of the rainfall and snowfall at their sources.
 For 35 years the retreat continued. A few years ago the pendulum swung, majestically, unmistakably, and now the ice rivers are growing longer, thicker, more terrible.
