HESITATING ON
 BRINK OF WAR

Athens, July 2S-Exceeidng in interest the war itself, is the Ques- ton HOW being fought out in the chamber of deputies, of whether and how soon Greece will enter the war. The first few days of the ses- sion have been taken up with rou- tine business concerning internal af- fairs, but the real issue is coming to tho front very rapidly, in spite of all efforts of the peace and pro Teutou elements to delay action.
 With Venizelcs, the avowed friend Of England and France, at the helm, backed by a tremendous majority of the chamber, it is be- Heved there can be no great delay in declaring Greece an ally of the quadruple entente. The Hellenic mind is made up, and nothing can stem the popular demand for imme- diate participation in the war. The Greek army, trained and hardy fighters, is anxious to get into the campaign against Turkey. A hun dred thousand men are in training and the reserves have been mo- tlfied of the goYernmnt intention to call them to the colors.

THEY NOW BELIEVE
 KRAUSE AN ANARCHIST
Prisoners Launch Found and Also, They Say, Several Incrimi-
 hating Letters.

JUNEAU, Nov 25.-The launch of Edward Krause, the supposed mur- derer of William Christie and others, has been discovered and with it has been found also what is described as "a young arsenal" The report here is that enough weapons to arm a military company were in the boat and cached nearby. The authorities also claim to have discovered several discriminating letters and they now believe that Krause was actually the head of a band located at Petersburg and that this band wRs nothing short on being a bunch of anarchists or downright bloodthirsty pirates. The police are now trying to connect the disappearance of no less than eleven people with the operations of Krause, and, maybe, members of his supposed gang. Those eleven have disappeared within the past two months and all have disappeared in a manner similar to that of Christie, Moe, Plunkett and Smith.

ing of navigation in the spring. Some of the goods will be sold to private parties here. The remainder of the freight will be taken to Seattle for winter storage. The Farragut will get out about midnight.
 In addition to the cargo of the Far ragut the cargoes of the Alliance and the Kansas City had to be brought to Seward owing to the inability Co land them at Anchorage. The steam ship Seward is also on the way with over a thousand tons of freight and it will be impossible to land it at An chorage. Harry Hoben has already received the contract for storing hun dreds of tons of freight here, which had been destined for Anchorage, and the capacity of Stewards storage facilities is being taxed to the limit. It is estimated that the cargocs which have returned after an effort to land them at Anchorage and the cargo yet to come aggregate close to five thou sand tons. It is stated that the sup ply of staples in the new railroad town will be nearly sufficient for the winter and a shortage will only be felt in some articles. A vast amount of potatoes had to be returned but this is regarded as a blessing to the home growers who have thus been provided with a market The whole affair is to be regretted as it is a sad blow to the new railroad town, show ing as it does that it can never be a terminal in fact of the government railroad for any important length of time each year Owing to the un- usually mild winter of last year shippers had acquired a false feeling of security and no one is really to be blamed, notwithstanding the fact that oldtimers had pointed out what might be expected. For several months now Seward is the only gateway to the interior, including Anchorage itself.
 The Kansas City arrived Wednes- day evening from Cordova to await orders here as to the disposition to be made of her large cargo of freight for Anchorage. The Alaska Steam ship offices at Seattle realizing the impossibility of unloading the freighter at Anchorage ordered her to proceed immediately to unload her cargo of about 1,7OO tons of Anchor age freight and store it here until the spring opening of navigation. Of this shipment ,53O tons was consign- ed to the Alaskan Engineering Com mission and consisted in the main of rails and other steel, as we'll as large shipment of bridge timbers and lumber. She had something over 100 tons of freight consigned to private parties at Anchorage The Kansas City will probably spend the greater part of a week here unloading the cargo.
