BOOST HUGHES
 f0R PRESIDENCY
WILL UNITE PARTY FACTIONS
Republican Leaders State Ra'e too Conservative and Roosevelt too Fight in Convention.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-A can vass of the political situation by lead ing Republicans places Hughes to the front as the candidacy of the party for the presidency and it is freely predict cd that he will secure the nomination et the National convention in Chicago next month.
 It is asserted that Root, who is the choice of large number of the party leaders, is too conservative, and that he will be strongly opposed by the progressive branch of the party, while Roosevelt. the idol of the Progress sives, is much too radical to secure the support of the stand-pat members of the party. As consequence there is bound to be desperate fight s in the convention if an attempt is made to nominate either of these men, and to preserve harmony it is believed both factions will unite on Hughes, who will come nearer to meeting with the demands of bo+n factions than any otlfhe other possible candi- dates. C1mhins and Burton are, ad- mittedly, out of the race. neither hav- ing sufficient strength outside of their respective states to make them for midable.
 It is predicted that with Hughes as |. 1oandidate that the Progressives will return to the party and the Repub- slicans once more. be in a position to carry the country at the November election.

WAR ORDERS
 BOOST PRICES
MANY E,lPLOYES GET INCREASE
Textile Mills and Steel Plants Are Rushed with Orders and Employees
 Are Benefited by Receipt of Higher
 Wages.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. May li.-- Especial correspondencep. In various states east of the Mississippi river, and particularly along the Atlantic coast, laborers in the mills supply ing the belligerents with munitions of war or indirect beneficiaries, of the war, are receiving substantial bene- fits from our war order prosperity in the shape of increased wages.
 Four textile mills in Adams, Mass. for instance, have announced an in- crease of 10 per cent in their wage scales. This will affect 1900 opera tives.
 The Atlantic mills. Providence, R.. l., have granted a 10 per cent in- crease to their 5000 employees.
 Corrigan, Mckinney & Cd.. of Cleveland, Ohio, have advanced wages 10 per cent to their 170O employees.
 Five mills in Pittsfield, Mass. have boosted wages 10 per cent.
 In Pennsylvania the steel wcrkcrs are learning what it means to them if their mills operate at capacity. The 10 per cent increase in wages granted to all the operatives of the United S. Steel Corporation February 1, was followed by an additional 10 per cent increase effective May 1st. This means an additional $33.O0O,000 to the pay envelopes, of that company since the first of the year. Common labor will receive $2.43 day, com pared with slightly less than $2 day last January.
 Many of the Pennsylvania indepen- dents have announced increases with the abnormally large business being done and from the present high pro- fits. In the Youngstown district the men are to receive each montl, a bo- nus of 10 per c,nt of their pay for the north preceding. to continue as long as steel prices remain on high level and plants are operating at capacity or close to capacity. Employes. of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. will get bonus each quarter in addi- tion to their 10 per cent wage i'm crease.
 These increases in wages mean in- creased purchasing power on the part of labor or larger savings bank de- rosits by those who are thrifty and have an eye to after the war condi- iiHns and a retu"t |" norE,ai wage

This morning at o'clock the Val dez-Sitka cable went out of commis- sion, and until repairs are made all messages to and from this place will have to go through the wireless sta tions at Sitka and Whiteshed. As there is more business than the wire less can handle without working the twenty-four hours through, messa ges will be subject to some delay ilt transmission.

 Nothing has been heard from the Lable-ship Burnside, and no proph- esy can be made as to the time when the repairs to the cable will be under taken and completed.

 The death rate at the home during the past year has been so great as to lead to an investigation. The body of one of the inmates who died some time ago, was exhumed by the au- thorities and it was found to contain enough arsenic to preserve the body. The bodies of the forty other inmates who have died within the past year will be taken up and examined for traces of poison.
 It is alleged that the matrons and others have taken out insurance on the lives of the inmates and have poisoned them to get the insurance money. It is not known how many of the inmates lave been victims of the plot, but it is believed that an examination of the bodies will re- veal that number of them have been poisoned.

 It is insinuated that the President would not be averse to the partition ing of the country if the rebels would be satisfied with the southern section, as the northern section of the coun- try would not be averse to the re- establishment of the empire with Yuan at the head of the government.

WASHINGTON. D. C., May ll.-It is apparent that the administration expects trouble in Mexico, despite the fact that President Carranza has ex- pressed his willingness to comply with all of the conditions imposed by the United States relative to the troops now in. Mexico.
 All the news coming from Mexico indicates that Carranza is steadily losing the little authority he had. and that both soldiers and civilians are ready to revolt at a moments notice. or when a strong leader shall appear. Throughout the whole of northern Mexico the conditions are daily be- coming worse, and the lives of Amer ican residents are endangered by the constantly growing enmity of the Mexicals against all things American
 That this is understood by the ad- llinistration and that an outbreaE is feared at any time. is evidenced by the activity displayed by the Wa: De- partment. and the rush orders for munitions that have been placed with numDer of manufacturers. The government arsenals are working on full time and turning out cartridges to their capacity. Late orders issued have called to the border practica ;ly; the entire infantry and cavalry force. numbering ten thousand men. to the border. as we'll as the militia from the states of Arizona. New Mexico end Texas.
 It is believed here that preparations cn so large a scale would nor 3e in progress unless it was confidently eX- pected that trouble is imminent. In Officia, circles no information is oh tainable, the officials refusing to dis cuss Mexican affairs. but there is lit tie doubt that armed intervention ;n Mexico is expected within few days.
 The press of the country is almost a unit in urging that the administra- tion take firm stand on the Mexican situation. and if necessary. place a large armed force ill that country to preserve peace and prevent the turth- CT raids on United States towrS by the Mexican outlaws.
