JAPANESE DRIFT TO
 THE ARCTIC

Six Japanese seamen found on Nu-
 nivak island, Boring sea. by Capt,
 Louis Lane of the power schooner Pc lar Bear. were arrested and tried on vograncy charges ot uHaaska, May lS. and held for deportation accord ing to adyices which have just reach. ed Juneau.
 The Japanese were aboard the schooner DiafSo Maru. a 50-ton vessel registered at EhimolSen. The vessel carried no cargo and from the state ments of the men they had no fire arms. salt. or trapping gear. They said their objective point was Canada, where they hoped 10 get work. The members of the crew, or part Of them were required to pay to the master carving sums of money for the priv ilege of making the voyage, they testi- fled before the officials at Unalaska.
 The Diafko sailed from Kobe. Jap an. about June 16, 1914, and about July of that year sailed from Bar shu. Japan, the last port of departure. After the ship had been out twenty days th- captain became ill and the boat drifted aimlessly about, the crew said. The vessel had no charts and was compelled to steer such courses as they reckoned would take the boat along the south side of the Aleutian islands.
 They finally reached St. Lawrence island. but put away again. Two days later the captain died and that night the vessel struck on a reef on Nun ivak island and immediately went to pieces. The seven members of the crew camped ashore and finally found native villages, where they were cared for until the Polar eBar came along. When they reached Unalaska two of the Japanese entered Che hospital for treatment for impoverishment.
 From Che statements Che crew made ll Unalaslxa. there was no evidence 10 show that the Japanese had yio- ated any laws of the United tSates or .he Territory of Alaska, and the dis position of the ease has been left with Che immigration official It is believed that deportation is the only itep the officials can take.

TURN
 TO LANE, BUT
 MAY BE BARRED

WASHINGTON, June 9.-A large part of the interest at Washington today centers in the selection Of a successor to William J. Bryan. Sec retary Of State The name that is constantly coming to the lips of those who discuss the question is that of Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, but the belief exists that he will not be chosen. Mir. Lane's Canadian birth counts against him at time when the United States has difficult ties with Germany 4 further req. son why it is not believed that Mir. Lane will be promoted from the In- terlor Department is the fact, it is believed che President would have dl. ficulty in selecting man to take ov- CT the important Alaskan work that has been undertaken by the adminis- tration.
 Other names frequently suggested are those Of Secretary of War Lind ley M. Garrison. Ambassador James w Gerard. at Berlin. Senator John w. Kern. of Indiana. Samuel Unter- meyer of New York and Robert Lansing, counsellor for the State De- partment
 It is generally believed, however. that the President will not make an appointment immediately but win permit Counsellor Lansing to remain at the head of the Department as Acting Secretary of State"
The Alaska daily empire., 1915-06-09

PRESIDENT WILSON'S REPLY The reply of President Woodrow Wilson to the letter of William J. 5ry. an was as follows:
 My Dear Mir. Bryan:
 [ accept your resignation only because you insist upon its ac- eeptanee, and [ accept lt with much more than deep regret, but with feelings Of personal acrrow
 Our two years of cloae associa- tion have been very delightful to me. Our judgments have accord ed In practically every matter of official duty, and public policy until now Your support of the work and purposes of the admin lstratlon has been generous and loyal beyond praise. Your dcvO- ton to the duties of your great office and your eaaerness 10 take advantage of every great oppor- tunity for service in 1t has offered an example to the rest of us. You have earned our affectionate ad- miration and friendship. Even now we are not separated in the object that we seek, but only in the method by which we seek it.
 lt is for these reasons that my feelings about your retirement from the office Of Secretary Of State go much deeper than re- gret. [ deplore it. Our objects are the same and we ought to pur- que them together. yield to your desire only because 1 must, and wish to bid you oodspeed on our parting. We shall continue to work for the came cause even when we do not work in the same way.
 With Affectionate Regards,
 WOODROW WILSON.
