LANE GOES TO FRISCO
 FOR TWO WEEKS MORE.
Some Think the Trip May Delay De- cision About Route of Gov
 ernment Railroad.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Secre- tary Lane of the interior department will leave for San Francisco next Tuesday and will be back in Washing ton on the first of April. It is thought that nothing definite will be decided about the northern railroad until his return. It is rumored that the first offer made by the government for the Alaska Northern was only three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The Gttleness of this offer has caused some scepticism but there is very good ground to believe it true. It is be- lieved, however, that the government only made the offer to remove from the minds of the owners any belief that they can secure anything like a first hand price for a second hand property. It may be advisable to say that most of the so-called information about the railroad question now is only surmise or guesswork.

SAY M'MANUS
 KILLED OTHERS
MEXICO CITY QUIET AND CHANGE FOR BETTER
 EXPECTED.

MEXICO CITY, March 18.-It is stated semi-oficially today that Nc Manus the American was killed by the ZapataiStas because he killed mem bers of that party some weeks ago. It is declared by followers of Zapata that McNIauus made himself very con spicuous on the side of the Carranza party when the latter entered the capital the last time and took hand in the butchery of the other side. It is believed that the actions of Me Manus were sufficient to justify his killing and to remove any grounds for the United States interference.
 This city is now quiet and a speedy change for the better in the conditions is looked for. Caranza will probably not try to enter it again unless he comes with the consent of the other parties.

SAY RUSSIANS RETREAT
DARDANELLES FORTS STILL HOLD OUT WITHOUT DAM
 AGE REPORTED.

WASHINGTON, March I3.-The German ambassador here practically defed the United States when he is sued this afternoon declaration that he upholds the action of the captain of the Eitel in sinking the American ship Frye bound from Seattle to Liv- erpool with wheat. Count Berastorf says that in sinking the Frye the cap tain cf the German cruiser only fol- lowed out the declaration made by Britain at the beginning of the war about neutral shipping and foodstuffs. The ambassador also states that he knows of no change made by the Ger man government in relation to the blockade of the British coasts and the action to be taken against neutral ships that disregard the blockade The statement of Bernstortf has caus- ed something cf a sensation here as it clearly indicates the determination of Germany to proceed with the inten- tion of destroying all ships carrying food to England.

TO START HOSPITAL FOR
 THE USERS OF DRUGS.
Thirty Thousand Dope Fends Known to be in the City of
 Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 18.-Prominent doctors have banded together and se- cured an old school building which will be converted into a hospital for the use of the drug users unable longer to secure their drugs because of the new drug laws. The intention of the doctors is to treat the victims of the habit with a view to taking away their passion for the habit. The doctors predict that the greatest possible suf- fering will result from the new drug law. In this city alone, they declare there are thirty thousand users Of drugs. In New York the number Is far greater and the number of people who will be driven to frightful suffer ing throughout the country by the in ability to secure drugs is in the mil lions.

SAY RUSSIANS RETREAT.

BERLIN, March 13.-The official re- port issued here today contains the statement that the Russians are re- treating from AugustOwa This city is in Russian territory east of East Prussia and is northeast of Warsaw. The Russian statement that a retreat may have to be ordered for strategic al reasons is taken as bearing out the German report tha. the retreat has actually begun. This IS regarded as the most serious news of the war for Russia. The defeat of the Russian army at that point might result in clearing the way for the Germans to swOOp down to east of Warsaw and so surround the city completely. The official announcement also states that
 -itsh attacks at Ypres and La bassee and the French attacks in Champagne have been easily repulsed. The Russians have made an unsuccess- ful attack east of Przasnysz.

BRITISH START OFFENSIVE.

LONDON, March l3.-A determin- ed offensive has been started by the British at Labassee in order to pre- vent the shifting of troops by the Ger mans to the eastern field where they are attacking the Russians. The posi- ton of the British around Labassee has been greatly strengthened by the capture of some of the German posi- tions in that neighborhood It is now the evident intention tO follow up the advantage by trying to take Labassee itself. Should the town be taken it would leave the city of Lille in a very serious predicament that would aI- most unquestionabIy bring about the German occupation of it. Such fine progress has been made by our troops within the past two days that London is delighted.

BRITISH DESTROY
 GERMAN WIRELESS,

LONDON, Mar. 12.-The wireless World has received from Berlin copy of a communique recently published by the German Colonial office, describ ing the serious loss suffered by Ger may through the destruction of her chain of wireless stations. The com munique says:
 "Soon after the outbreak of the war all communication with their colonies by sea was broken, and all German transmarine cables were cut by the English, so that even telegraphic communication with the whole of our colonies yves rendered impossible. The only remaining means of communica- tion was wireless telegraphy, but the first warlike measures of the Enghsh were directed to depriving us of this means also. On August 12 fell the wireless station Yap, and soon after wards the station Naru. Tasagata (Samoa) fell on August 29, and Bit apaka, in New Pomerania, on Septem- Der 12. During the night of August 24 the great station of Kamina, in Togo, had to be destroyed by us in order to prevent it's capture.
 "So vanished all possibility of further direct communication with the African PrOtectOrates, which hitherto had been able to communicate via Kamina. As matter of fact, there had been from the very begin hing a disturbance of the system which prevented us from receiving any reports from the Governor of East Africa after the outbreak of war.

AUXILIARY CRUISER TORPEDO ED OFF SCOTLAND AND
 200 MEN LOST.
BRITISH MAY WIN LILLE
VICTORY OVER GERMANS NEAR LABASSEE BELIEVED
 IMPORTANT

LONDON, March 13.-The British auxiliary cruiser Bayono has been tor pedoed and sunk off the coast of Scot land Two hundred of the crew lost their lives and only twenty were res cued. It is most likely that the yes sel was destroyed by a submarine but the statement says only that it was torpedoed. The vessel was of three or four thousand tons displacement. The act shows that the enemy has now made an attempt to completely en- circle the island of Great Britain Tn the attempt to destroy British marine trade.

TRUNK OF GUNCOTTON
 TRAVELLING AROUND.
Explosives that Could Blow up Whole Train Are Being Traced
 by Police.

CHICAGO, March 13.-Tracers are now out after trunkful of guncot- ton which was shipped some days ago from New York to San Francisco and which has gone astray and is now probably lying some place where it may explode. The amount in the trunk is sufficient to blow up a whole train and the police are at their wits end to place it. Dr. Herman Boden- helm has been arrested and admits having shipped the guncOttOn but he declares that he did not think it dang erous. There is real alarm felt

ESCAPED FROM TSnSGTAU.

PEKIN, March 12.-Eight Germans who escaped from Tsingtau after the fall of that fortress are now on the way to Siberia to destroy the Trans Siberian railroad but Russian soldiers are on their trail. The information came to the Russians accidentally The Germans have instructions to blow up every bridge possible and to also des- troy the right of way. It is said that previous to the war Germany placed explosives at places along the right of way to be ready for just such an undertaking.

GREATEST BATTLE.

PETROGRAD, March 13.-The fighting in Northern Poland is now developing into the greatest battle of the war. The Germans have been greatly reinforced and are making a determined effort to drive back the Russians. The battle centers around Przasnysz and it may be found ex- pedient by the Russian generals to fall back until they reach stronger positions in which they can make a stand. It is admitted that the Rus sian advance towards Thorn had to be abandoned after the retirement from the field of the Russian army in the region of the Mazurian lakes. While the Germans are attacking near Przasnysz they are also aggressive along the Pilica river southwest of Warsaw but their offensive at the lat ter place is probably intended only for the purpose of drawing the Russians from the northern battlefield. The government lays particular stress on the possibility that the northern Rus sian forces may withdraw for some distance for strategical reasons but that such a withdrawal is not to be regarded as a sign of weakness.

ROOSEVELT, N. Y, March 1S.- Physicians testified on the stand here today that eight of the strikers were shot in the back at the time of the attack on the strikers by the guards of the American Agricultural Chemi- cal factory when some of the men were killed and several wounded The present investigation is being car ried on by the government but some of the wounded men have also brought action for damages besides. From the evidence today it seems to be established that the strikers were run hing away when the shots were fired and that those shots were altogether unnecessary.
