CAMPANIA BEATS sr. PAUL

New York, Dec. 14-The steamships
Campania and st. Paul arrived at the
bar this morning within % minutes of
each other, both having made good
trips, considering the weather and the
time of the year. The Campania was
the first to cross the bar. From the
time they left por they had strong
head gales and seas as far as the
banks, when the winds were most ia
vorable but the seas were high. Dur
ing the las two days the ships were
not far apart, it having been a stern
chase all the way for the .Canpania
until Thursday afternoon, when she
forged ahead of her American rival
and took the lead.
The distance run by the st. Paul
was 3,O44 miles from Southampton or
at the rate of 1876 miles an hour for
the six days, Is hours and IA minutes
of the voyage. The Campania took
for her voyage from Queenstown,
.steaming 2,7s85 miles with an average
of 1889 miles an hour. The Campania
was a good deal behind her record,
but the ST. Paul was only % minutes
behind the best westward passage.

FAIRBANKS WAS NOT
 DEFINITELY NAMED.
Dispatches From Washington Say That Wilson Never Mention
 ed That City.

Since the announcement that the government railroad would be built from Seward to Fairbanks Washing ton advices declare that Fairbanks was not at all as a matter of fact mentioned positively as the interior terminus. The advices received from Washington contain the following statement:
 WASHINGTON.-While the news papers of the country all stated that the Alaska government railroad will be constructed from Seward to Fair banks. a detailed description of the route as approved by the President does not mention Fairbanks. The description of the main line, as set forth in the Presidents letter of des- ignation, after reciting that the road shall begin at Seward, extending through the Kenai peninsula, around Turnagain river, thence up that stream. closes with the words:
 "Thence crossing Broad Pass and entering the drainage of the Nenana river, thence continuing northward, following the drainage of the Nenana river. Total distance from Seward 416 miles, more or less"

GERMANS STOP
 DUTCH TRAFFIC
REPORTED THEY WILL SEND TROOPS FROM LIEGE TO
 AUSTRIA.

THE HAGUE, April 24.-Germany has ordered the closing of all traffic over the Belgian-Dutch frontiers and the report is generally circulated that this step is taken as the preliminary move before withdrawing the German garrison from Liege to use it in the southeast to oppose the Russians or to face the Italians should Italy enter the war. In Liege and the vicinity, 1t is estimated, some quarter of mil llion German soldiers are stationed. The stopping of traffic to and from Holland is probably a precaution to guard against any sudden declaration of war by this country when Liege would be left unguarded and the Ger man rear might be threatened. Hol- land will probably object to this order but will hardly go further than enter ing a protest.

LONDON, April 24.-That the Germans are continuing savagely the supreme effort to reach the English channel without question was the of ficial news published late this after noon. The first information that the enemy was again attempting to full fill his supreme ambition came this morning as a sensation and the furth- CT dispatches now coming show that a crisis has arrived in the great war. The Germans are attacking with savagery which they have seldom eoualled and are pouring in heavy re- Inducements from all quarters. It IS now believed that the garrison of Liege, instead of being sent to the south, have been launched against our positions around YpreS. There is no longer the least doubt that the object of the onslaught is to reach the French coast cities and Great Britain today is said to be standing on tip toe with every nerve tense watching and waiting for the outcome.

SNOW APPROVES
 THE SEWARD TRAIL

Representative c. K. Snow, of Ruby, writing to the Record-C Citizen of that place from Seward, under the date of February 13, after describing his trip over the Iditarod-Seward trail, say:
 "Taken all in all, I cannot see any legitimate reason why this trail should receive the "black eye it does by many who pass over it. was un- dOubtedly lucky as far as weather conditions are concerned; but even so these weather conditions must affect any overland trail, and for my part l believe this Seward Yukon trail has been too often unjustly condemned, often perhaps by parties who do not know what to expect on an overland trail in Alaska. For scenic beauty it by far excels any other trail l have travelled in Alaska, and for this one feature alone 1 would not have missed this trip even though the trail were as bad as it is often reported to be, and much more expensive.
 of you love grandeur of nature it's canyons, it's mountains and it's mightiness-and love to feel the thrill of their presence then take the trip by all means; you will not be disappoint- ed. But if you wish to travel on 'fiowery beds of ease and wish to snooze and dream that you are spe- cial product of higher civilization too finely adjusted for this more strenu- ous life, then don't. But may God pity you, for you will lose one thing worth living for if you have the op- portunity to make this trip and fail to do so."

 COMMISSION.

KANSAS CITY, April 24.-The great Rockefeller is now in a serious fix and will be compelled to explain to the Industrial Relations commits sion why he told lies while on the stand when the commission was inves- tigating the Colorado strike. While giving testimony at that time before the commission Rockefeller stated that he had taken no part in the strike difficulty and was innocent of any effort to oppose the strikers. The Commission now declares that it has secured possession of telegrams and letters that prove clearly that Rock efeller approved of every move. Hav- ing obtained this evidence the Comis- sion has decided to reopen the hear ings into the matter and Rockefeller will be compelled to explain why he lied to it.

.EMDEN'S CREW
 AGAIN FIGHT
ESCAPED GERMAN SAILORS LAND IN ARABIAN TER
 RITORY.

BERLIN, April 24.-one of the most extraordinary stories of the war was officially published this morning when it was announced that the crew of the German cruiser Emden who es- caped from Cocos island have land ed in Arabia and beaten back hostile forces of Arabs that attempted to op- pose their landing. 1t was rumored some time ago that the escaped sail OTIS of the Emden had been captured with the cruiser Ayesha which they had seized when their own vessel was sunk by the cruiser Sydney on the island several months ago, but this rumor had no foundation. Since they left Cocos their whereabouts have been a mystery until the news came today that they had landed off the Ayesha at an Arabian port, making another chapter to the story of the war that equals the Arabian Nights themselves. They landed there on March 27 and were attacked by Arabs under command of British off cers, it is presumed. They succeed ed in beating back the natives and are now supposed to be on the way to Turkey to join the Turkish army which is being concentrated for the defense of the Dardanelles.

FEDERALS STRENGTHEN
 TEAM FOR TOMORROW.
All Stuck Up Over Last Sundays Win and Think They Can Do It
 All the Time.

The Federals expect not only to beat Seward again tomorrow but to beat them so badly that their super iority will be established. They have new men in the lineup this time and Darlington their tosser is still in the city while Lucas is always at hand to help. Smith is still lame and much may depend on his condition but Se- ward has at least an equal chance and the betting is about even in spite of the lucky win of the outlaws last time. The game will be played if the weather is fine, and there is no doubt that it will be as the beautiful wealth CT of the past week shows very little signs of letting up" as this is writ ten.

VIENNA, April 24.-The Russian hordes have been driven from the Uszok pass after a terrific battle and their hope of invading Hungary is now disappearing fast. In other threatened districts in the mountains our troops are holding the enemy at bay while on our right wing we are pressing the offensive from the east ern part of Bukowina towards Rus sian territory. The information com ing from Petrograd that the enemy has been delayed by climatic condi- tions is denied and it is stated to the contrary that they have been checked decisively by Austrian and German arms.

WHERE SEWARD EQUALS
 NEW YORK CITY

That Seward in one instance equals New York is the statement made by Dr. Barnes who has just arrived from the Empire city to engage in large mining operations. This assertion was made by the doctor after he had visited the dental parlors of Dr. Charles Daggett and observed the per feet arrangements made for the prac- tice of dentistry there. Without never knowing it would be printed, Dr.. Barnes declares that in Dr. Daggett and his equipment Seward has it's dental requirements fulfilled in a manner worthy of the largest city. Dr. Barnes will leave soon for the scene of his mining operations.

ROOSEVELT IS
 BEING CHILLED
SECOND DAYS CROSS EXAMIN- ALTON Is A SEVERE
 ONE.

SYRACUSE, April 24.-The sight of a former president of the United Staes being severely heck led in a courtroom was witness ed yesterday when Theordore Roosevelt went on the stand for his second days cross examination in the case arising from the suit brought against him for libel by William Barnes, jr.
 The Barnes counsel tackled him as they would any ordinary witness and from time to time they showed an almost uncanny knowledge of the political inner nature of the fights in which he has been engaged. Roosevelt defended stoutly practice of accepting large campaign contribu- tions. He declared there was no harm in accepting half a million dollars from Thomas Ryan as contribution for his campaign purposes but he eX- pressed total ignorance as to the source of the three million dollars raised to aid his election and he did not know that Standard Oil contri- buted. He even asserted again that he had advised against the acceptance oF |, co,tr;butiop from Standard Oil. The money contributed by Ryan was for the Parker campaign, he said, but he could not condemn it on that ac- count as he could not condemn the practice of any party that received such large amounts. This method Of cross examination was permitted to enable the plaintiffs side to show that Roosevelt had done things of which he accused Barnes.

The Dispatch congratulates Seward in having secured the route for the government railroad in Alaska, from the coast to the Panama according to telegraphic announcement.
 This will mean an immediate boom for Seward and surrounding districts. People will begin to rush there at once in the expectation of being em- ployed or of engaging in business. And while all lines will be overdone at first there is bound to be a reac- ton following construction days, as conditions settle down to the business in sight, eventually the immense re- sources of the interior-mining, stock raising and agriculture-will central ize and support a large population (Juneau Dispatch.)

FIFTY WOMEN FIGHT
 THE POLICE MADLY.

STAMFORD, April 24.-Fifty wo- men fought the police here today at the city hall. They are the wives of the striking laborers who have been arrested and severely handled by the police since the strike occurred here a couple of days ago. The women marched in a body to the city hall and demanded an interview with the mayor but the police tried to disperse them and the women fought madly while the police hesitated to attack in the fear of injuying them. Sev- eral of the women were arrested and the remainder were forcibly removed from the scene.
