Steamships Bring
 Last Excursionists

SEATTLE. Aug. 27.-The steam ship Alameda, of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, sailed today for Alaska with the last passengers of the present excursion season There were one hundred and seventy pas sengers on the Alameda, many of them oldtimers who are returning north for the winter.
 Next Wednesday the steamship Victoria, of the same company is billed to leave for Nome with a large passenger list, and a capacity load of freight for Alaskan mer- chants
 The officials of the Pacific Coast steamship company announce that the past season has been the most successful in history, with regard 10 tourist traffic to Alaska, and also that an exceptionally large amount of freight has been shipped this year, The increase in freight shipments, they state. is due to the large shipments carried on every boat for the Alaskan Engineering commission.

PRESIDENT IS ALARMED
 AT STRIKE SITUATION
Wilson Will Try to Force Eight Hour Law Through Congress Placate Railroad Emp loyees~~Ralroad Presidents
 Favor Plan Situation Serious

President Wilson conferred today for an hour with Senators Kern and Newlands. All of the conferees were uncommunicative after the con ference, although Senator Kern made a statement to the effect that it per tained to matters of legislation. It senators told the President that they had thoroughly canvassed the railway situation in congress, and that his railway legislation program cannot be passed at this session.
 Secretary of the Interior Lane and Senator Newlands also held a secret conference with President Will. son last evening at the White House. They left by the east door of the presidential mansion. After seeing the President Secretary Lane went into conference with the railroad executives and then announced that there will be another meeting at 10 o'clock Monday morning, at which it is hoped that some definite set clement can be reached
 It is expected that Senators Borah, Cummings, Kenyon, Clay and Nor ris will organize serious opposition to the presidential program aug ti,,,r tJ0 iptN fp{O commission, and adding to it's power by the incorporation of freight rates and other favors which the rail roads were demanding. The inter- state commerce commission recently ruled that it was not authorized to consider the question of wages and labor conditions in determin- ing freight rates.
 Wall street leaders have been called by telephone to attend the conference with the railroad execu- tives.
 It is rumored that trusted ad- visors of Wilson have double cross ed him with regard to the possi. bility of concessions on the part of the brotherhoods It is said that they unanswered the brother hoods into issuing an ultimatum. The brotherhood leaders are plainly annoyed at the Presidents delay, and criticize Wilson for giving the

Bread rices May
 Be Increased Soon

CHICAGO, Aug 27.-Secretary Bell, of the Master Bakers union, is urging an increase in the price of bread Whether or not the uni on will vote to make the raise is not known yet but 1t Is understood that several of the leaders among the bakers are favorably inclined toward raising the price one cent per loaf. making the universal price of bread six cents.
 The reason given by Secretary Bell is that no money is to be made by the bakers at the present sell ing price of bread He points out the fact that the materials for bread making have, in some instances, advanced fully 100 per cent in price, and that the bakers cannot pay such prices and sell bread on the basis of five cents per loaf

LONDON, Aug 27-It is authori tatively reported in official circles here that Roumania Is certainly on the verge of entering the great European war. Every preparation is being made. and no doubt is neutral Balkan kingdom will enter the conflict on the side of the allies when she Is ready to do so
 The ministry of Roumana has just completed arrangements for an army credit of s40,000000. Which brings the amount arranged for since the mobilization of the Bou- manian army some time ago up to $120,O00,O00.
 It is stated in official circles that the entrance of Roumania into the war on the side of the allies would mean the elimination of Turkey and Bulgaria That is, Roumania can put more men and equipment into the field than Turkey and Bull garia can together, and her forces would then act as an offset to those of the other two countries. Which would leave the future prolongation of the war to Germany assisted only by weakened Austria.
 It is understood here that King Ferdinand, of Roumania, has refused to receive a private embassy sent to him by Kaiser Wilhelm, of Ger many. He has, however, agreed to negotiate with Germany through his ministers. Whether or not such an agreement will meet with the approval of the kaiser remains to be seen.

GEN ERAL RESUME OF WEEKS WAR.

LONDON, Aug 27.-The eighth week of the battle of the Somme has ended and it finds the allied lines advanced a considerable dis tance from the positions occupied before the offensive commenced. The progress has been admittedly slow. but the gains made have been the result of steady drive on the part of the British troops under General Haig and their French allies.
 The German occupation of pc sition at Thiepval is all that keeps the British from advancing more rapidly. It is now being assailed, however and 1t Is expected that it will shortly fall before the British onslaughts. Then it will be that the British left wing can advance as far toward the German trenches as has the right wing
 All of the furious German counter attacks made on the Somme front have proven ineffectual In fact. the Germans have been given blow for blow on every battlefront dur ing the past week, except in the Caucasus, where some Turkish sue cesses have been noted

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug 27.- the railroad employees and their employers cannot be settled by any other means, President Wilson is making one last desperate effort to inaugurate plans to force Con gress to Immediately pass a law requiring q basic observance of the eight-hour day all over the country. The eight-hour clause in the de- mands of the railroad employees is the one that the employers ab- solutely refuse to consider, and as a result the whole situation is at a deadlock.
 The President has virtually sus- pended the conference of railroad heads which has been trying to settle the strike for the past week, as it seems to be unable to produce any satisfactory results. However, another meeting of the executives has been called for Monday morn ing, in hopes that at the last mo ment some mode of settlement will be found The President admits that it is impossible for him to prevent the trainmen from calling a strike If they decide to do so, but he still has hopes of preventing such dras- tic action.
 The railroad executives were ar ranging what they termed their ul- timatum to the employees yestcr- day when they heard tha. Prasi- dent Wilson had started for the capitol. They immediately forced through a hurried adjournment af- ter that without agreeing upon the issuance of the ultimatum After ward, President Holden, of the Chi Cabo, Burlington & Quincy railway acting as spokesman for sub-com- mittee of eight of the railroad presi- dents. said thas the subcommittee had been trying 10 arrange a meet Ing with President Wilson to tell him that, as committee of the mi nority. they had decided unanimous ly ir favor of the eight-hour law hey do not, however, represent the majority of the railroad presi- dents.
