MUELLER WANTS
 MATTER ENDED
TELLS PROSECUTOR IN SEAT TILE THAT TREATY WAS
 VIOLATED.

SEATTLE, March 23.-Consul Mueller has formerly moved for the quashing of the charge of conspiracy against him and states that whe' he was arrested the treaty between the United States and Germany, as well as the constitution of the United States itself, was violated He insists that he never tried or intended to bribe any empoyee of the ship build ing company and he intimates that his arrest resulted from bias of some peo- pie against the German cause. Hi. friends suggest that his arrest was due in a great measure to the com pany itself as it feared that the con. sul's activities might have resulted in interfering with it's construction of submarines for the British govern ment. The federal officials are now Investigating the whole matter thor oughly and upoE the result of this investigation the future proceedings will probably depend.

TO EXPERIMENT
 IN MATANUSKA
AGRICULTURAL STATION WILL BE ESTABLISHED THIS
 SUMMER.

That an agricultural experiment station will be established in the Mat anuska valley this summer is the statement made last evening by Pro- lessor c. c. GeorgesOn when he was passing by on the Admiral Watson on the way to Kodiak. A representative of the agricultural experiment de- partment will come here this spring and proceed into the Matanuska to select the site.
 Professor Georgeson still has the same unbounded faith in the agricult- ural possibilities of Alaska that aid ed him in the magnificent work which he has accomplished. He expressed last night the belief that the time will come when the population of the ter ritory will supply a market for it's own agricultural products. He ac- quiesced to the full in the belief that the railroad will bring such a popula- tion and supply such a market for this part of Alaska at least. It is worth noting that the professor be- lieves the agricultural possibilities of the interior are superior to those of the coast although the climate there is almost infinitely colder. He says it is a mistake to say that cereals do not ripen in the interior. He also de- clare5 that there is absolutely no foundation for the statement that cat tie grow smaller when raised in this region. Professor Georgeson will re- turn on the Watson and proceed to Sitka, his headquarters.

PRESIDENT OF INTERNATIONAL LONGSHORE UNION
 ARRIVES.
HAS CONFIDENCE OF ALL
TROUBLE WAS NOT CAUSED BY WAGES OR
 HOURS.

SEATTLE, March 23.-T. " O'Con- nor, president of inc International Longshoremeu's Union arrived in this city today with the intention of try ing to settle the strike which has Oc- currei here and which threatens ser ious consequences to the maritime trade of the city and to the conven- fence of Alaskans. O'Connor was urgently asked to come by both sides as he was most successful in bridging over the difficulties in former strike of a similar nature. The trouble has been caused this time, not by demands for higher wages or shorter hours, but because of some international trouble which occurred amongst the long shoremen in Vancouver, B. c, In the beginning of the strike the longshore- men decided to take into account only shipping to British Columbia but now the whole coast is in danger of being affected. The union men and the shipping interests will probably get into touch now that O'Connor is here and a speedy ending of the strike may be brought about.

BERLIN TALKS OF DARDANELLES REPORTS FIVE THOUSAND KILL ED IN THE ALLIED
 FLEET.
SAYS FIVE SHIPS SUNK
GERMANS SEEM CONFIDENT THAT CHANNEL CANNOT
 BE FORGED.

BERLIN, March 23.-The German government issued statement this afternoon to the effect that five thou sand men have been killed in the fleet bombarding the forts of the Dardanel- les and that five of the hostile war ships have been sunk. The report ha} come direct from Constantinople. Three of the ships were battleships while the others were smaller vessels The feeling here seems to to be that of confidence in the ability of the Turks to successfully oppose the at tempt tc reach the sea of Marmora. It is pointed out that Great Britain cannot afford to take chances with its larger ships as serious losses to her navy would imperil her predominance on the ocean during the war and afterwards. The report today says that much damage has also been in- flicted on other ships and that some of them are entirely disabled although no names of such vessels have been given.

RUSSIANS LOSE
 MEMEL AGAIN CITY IN EAST PRUSSIA ONCE MORE IN GERMAN
 HANDS.
BERLIN MAKES REPORT
ALLIED AYIATORS DROP BOMBS ON CITY OF
 OSTEND.

BERLIN, March 23.-The Russians have again been driven from the city of Memel in East Prussia and are now heinz pursued across the border into their own territory. Memel is situated near She boundary on a nar- row neck of German territory between the Baltic sea and Russia and it's sit uation made its surprise by the enemy a matter of comparative ease. Tn the fight to recapture the place the enemy lost heavily Allied aviators dropped bombs on OStend yesterday but in- flicted little damage although several people were killed in the streets Ac- cordicg to the rest of the official bull letin this morning two attacks by the French in the Arras district have been repulsed. The minor advances made by tte French in Champagne have been entirely checked With the ex- ception of these engagements and the taking of Memel there is not much of importance contained in tOday's official dispatches.

TURKS
 OF MASSACRES
SULTANS TROOPS BURNING VILLAGES ON RUSSIAN
 SOIL.

TELLS, Caucasia, March 23.-rhe advancing Turks arc burning villages and nurdering christians in this re zion. Fifteen thousand christian re- fugees have taken shelter ir the American mission here but are in serious danger of being attacked and slaughtered. Every town and village entered by the Turkish army is first plundered and then given over to the flames while the women are subjected to the most awful irdignities. Owing to the severe climatic condition those who flee from their homes suffer ter ribly and sometimes find flight as dangerous as the n'arauding enemy. The Turkish forces are in great strength in this part of Russian ter ritory but more troops are expected to reinforce the Russians in the neighborhood soon. In the meantime, however, conditions prevail that are truly frightful.

WILSON SILENT
 ABOUT JAPAN
WILL NOT GIVE OUT TEXT OF NOTES BEING EX-
 CHANGED.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Presi-
 dent Wilson has refused to give out
 for publication any information relat-
 ing to the exchange of notes between this country and Japan in connection with the Japanese demands on China. From the latest news received from the Orient it appears to be the inten- tion of Japan to control the affairs of the Chinese republic almost entirely, domestic affairs as well as foreign. That such an outcome of the Japanese ambitions would be most detrimental to he interests of the United States is so we'll known that the general opinion is that this country cannot afford to permit a free hard to the Japanese government in the matter. It is so clear that Japan is taking ad- vantage of the great war to force her suzerainty on China that bitter feel ing is being aroused. No one has the slightest idea as to the tone of the notes which the Japanese and United States governments are exchanging but it is understood that the Wash ington administration is showing a de- termined front in opposition to the Japanese demands.

CAPTURED GARRISON INCLUDES NINE AUSTRIAN
 GENERALS.
HORSES WERE THE FOOD
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS BESIEG ED ARMY SUFFERED
 FRGHTFULLY.

PETROGRAD, March 29.-Fifty thousand Austrian soldiers were taken prisoners when the fortress Of Przemysel fell into our hands. Amongst the captured garrison were nine generals. It is admitted that the bcsieged soldiers suffered to the limit before they finally gave up hope. For several weeks they had nothing to eat put their horses ard in many cases horse flesh and horse flesh only could be secured but once a day. The cap tured troops are reduced to a fright full condition by hunger but the hung CT was borne by them until their am munition ran out and forced them to surrender. The capture of the fort ress is sure to give impetus to the campaign against the Teutonic allies and the people of Russia feel that the surrender is the beginning of the end of Austrian resistance. A large drive against Bukowina will start immedi- ately in the effort to drive the Aus trians once more ou5 of that province. Another big movement is starting from the Dukla pass towards the Roumanian border The fighting in the Carpathiars has increased and the Russians at the same time have begun another attempt to invade East Prus- sia north of Tisit.
