SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-When
advised today that the senate had
allowed only $4,000 600 for the com
mencement of railroad construction
in Alaska, Secretary of the Inter
ior Lane, who is here as President
Wilson's representative at the Pana-
ma-Pacific International exposition,
expressed regret that larger
amount had not been allowed. He
said that he was sorry he had been
compelled to leave the capital before
the matter had been disposed of.
because it had been his intention
to ask the senate to increase the
amount to s5000,00O.
The fact, however, that the small
er amount was granted does not
mean that the deal for the pur
chase of either the Alaska North
ern or the Copper River & North
western railroad has been dropped
but simply that the deal, if one is
contemplated, cannot be consummat-
ed until another appropriation is
secured

The Washington herald., 1915-03-12

1t was learned here yesterday that
the suggestion Of treating the Prinz
Eitcl Friedrich as a pirate ship was
considered here, but the suggestion was
discarded. This government is satisfied
that the Prinz Eitel may properly he re-
Garded as regularly commissioned gov
crnment ship. and entitled to treatment
as Il bclliGerent during the war. There is
no disposition on the part Of this govern
ment to attempt to strain its case or
raise with Germany unnecessarily irritat-
ing questions.
There is practically no doubt felt here
but that the vessel will be interned
after she has had the necessary repairs
to make her seaworthy. 1t is expected
however. that the captain of the German
cruiser will refrain from announcing any
intention to intern until he has completed
his repairs and is confronted with the
necessity Of taking this action or leav-
ing port within twcnty-four hours.
BY this procedure he will he able
to take advantage of any possible
new development during the repair
period and also will have the British
cruisers kept ON guard, guessing as
to his intentions.
According to the latest information
received at the Navy Department last
night. the question of the time TO be
allowed the German cruiser for re-
pairs is for the present up to the eX-
perts of the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Company and
naval officers assigned to the case.
Commander Thierchens, of the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich, telegraphed Admiral
Beatty. commanding the Norfolk navy
yard, yesterday afternoon that he
was. waiting for the shipbuilding
company to report to him on the
porba BILE time need for repairs. The
opinion her is that from two to three
weeks will be required. When the
estimate is submitted, IL will be re-
viewed by naval experts who will ad-
wise the State Department whether
they think it proper, and the latter
department will make the final de-
cision. The time allowed VIII. in ar
proba bility, be kept secret, in order
that enemy warships may not be
given notice of the time when the
German cruiser may be expected to
leave port il she decides not to intern.
