London, Feb. 15.-All eyes now are
turned upon East Prussia, where the
German army. under the observation
If not the command of Emperor Will.
liam, has taken the offensive and
compelled the Russians to evacuate
their positions east of the Mazurian
lakes and retire to their own terri
tory.
The Russians refer to this as q
strategical retreat, but the German Of
fetal communication intimates that
the appearance in this district of q
strong new German force was a sur
prise to the Russians and that the
Germans captured 10000 prisoners, 20
cannon and 80 machine guns and much
material. If the German statement is
correct the Russian reverse is almost
as serious as that which the Muscovite
forces suffered in the same place early
in the war.
Thought Retreat Wise Move.
Before the German official communi.
cation was received in London, mill
tary men were inclined to look upon
the Russian retirement as a wise
move, declaring that it would compel
the Germans to fight the battle on
Russian territory and away from their
strategical railways.
The army which the Germans flung
SO suddenly into East Prussia is be.
lieved to have numbered 100000 men
and to have been made up of soldiers
who have been fighting on the Bzura
and western fronts and of units of the
new army which has just completed
training in central Germany.
The Germans have resumed the Of.
fensive in Russian Poland on the right
bank of the lower Vistula and have
occupied the town of Sierpec, which
lies short distance to the northwest
of Plock.
Battles Rage In carpathians.
Thus the chief battle ground in the
east has been transferred from the
lines west and southwest of Warsaw
to the north.
The battles in the Carpathian noun
tains continue, but the general staff
of neither of the contending forces
gives much information concerning the
fighting.
The lull continues to prevail on the
western battle front, where the fight.
ing is confined to artillery duels and
a couple of infantry attacks in the Ar.
come and northwest of Verdun, in
which the Germans claim to have been
successful.

COST MILLIONS
 FOR WORK HERE
CHAIRMAN EDES SAYS WORK FROM SEWARD END THIS
 YEAR IMPOSSIBLE

1t will cost between two million and three million dollars to build the railroad from Mile Fl on the Alaska Northern railroad to Anchorage, ac- cording to the statement of Chair man w. C. Edes of the railroad com mission this morning. This is the chief reason why no attempt was made this year to do the work as the total appropriation would have been completely exhausted in that one local effort.
 As a sort of survey of general conditions before MT. Edes goes out side he was asked several questions this morning. He was asked, for in- stance, wether any statement has been made to the effect that only two per cent of the men employed on the railroad work altogether were foreigners but he was unable to make any definite statement on this subject without looking into it more thor oughly. The statement was reported to have been made by one member of the commission but, if it was, it was only a conversational expression not given officially. AS to statements about the relative positions of Seward and Anchorage as claimants to be the terminal-a ridiculous statement, by the way-Mr. Edes pointed out the announcement of Secretary Lane last April when the choice of roote was made. In referring to this announce ment again it is seen that Seward has been chosen as the terminal and that Anchorage lis a present base for the work of construction and from it during certain periods of the year coal may be shipped out from the Matanuska coal fields"
 It must have been annoying to Mr. Edes to have those old chestnuts thrown at him again. The above an nouncement of the secretary of the interior was made on April II but some Rip van Wrinkles are apparently just awaking to the fact. That phrase present base" ought to be enough to tell the dullest of us what the government means.

STEAMSHIP MARIP0SA
 WILL BE HERE AGAIN
Our Old Friend is Reported to be Safe and Fairly Sound and
 Fit for Work.

Passengers from the Admiral Evans report that the steamship Mariposa will probably be foated and put on the run soon again. Accord ing to the following notification, which has just been received, she IS being taken to Prince Rupert;
 On account of the wreck occurring in Canadian waters the Mariposa had to be docked for repairs at Cana dian port and she is being, according ly, taken to the big, new drydock at Prince Rupert. This port was deem- ed the most expedient, as compared with either Victroria or Vancouver, for the reason that in taking the ship to either of the latter ports it would have been necessary to tow her across Queen Charlotte Sound, where heavy weather is likely to be encountered at any time and boat in tow would re- ouire at least six hours for the cross ing. For the trip to Prince Rupert, however, the only open sea encount- cred is Millbank Sound, a matter of forty-fve minutes.
 It is stated that the excellent pumping equipment of the Salvor made it possible to raise the Mari posa without great difficulty and that after being thus raised the sealing up of the forward and after bulk heads made it easily possible to un-

CHINA AGAIN TO

ORIENTAL REPUBLIC WILL BE AT AN END NEXT
 YEAR.

PEKIN, Nov. 10.-The order re- storing China to the Monarchial state has been authorized and the Republic will come to end in a year, the time specified for the change in the system of government. This order has been made by the government itself. The present president, it is believed, will be the first emperor under the new monarchy but the time for establish ing the monarchy is probably delayed just for the purpose of settling this phase of the subject.

SHANGHAI GOV.

REVOLUTIONISTS IN CHINA AGAIN RESORT TO AS
 SASSINATI0N.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 10.-The gov ernor of the Shanghai district was assassinated last night by revolution aries just as he was about to depart for the coronation of the emperor of Japan. The assassins performed Ne act with automatic guns. The sec retary of the governor was severely wounded but the injury to him was clearly accidental and the bullets were intended for his chief. The cause of the act is not quite clear but it is either due to the opposition to the proposed restoration of the monarchy. The only other cause that can be assigned is that that it was due to the dislike of the Chinese to be represented at the coronation of Japanese emperor.

ANXIETY AT WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-The tOrpedoing of the Atlantic liner Ancona is causing intense anxiety in oi- caidom here as it is thought that if Americans were aboard and if the torpedo was launched without warning the situation which threatened with Germany will be repeated with Austria It fully understood that an Austrian and not German submarine sank the yes se Dispatches have been received stating that the Ancona was sheed only when she tried to escape and that she was opedoed only because she refused to stop when called upon to do so and according to the latest in ternaona agreements her torpedOing under the crcm- stances will have to be regarded jusiabe This is about the only fact which will prevent very serious state of affairs in the relations of this nation with the Austrian empire if Americans lost their lives.
