 Marshal Erwin will leave on the Vic toria at o'clock this morning for the south with his prisoners.

The party had a pleasant trip
 which was marred only by one of the prisoners getting mean. The obstrep- erous one was quickly subdued by the marshal and his assistants. The men are all in good health and spirits not

They include the names of the directors of the plots which have been engineered to de- stroy commerce between America and the allied nations, and also the names of the secret German agents who ob- tained the information furnished to the leaders of the spy system. All the papers have been photographed, and the German ambassador, in re sponse ta his request for the return of the documents. will be asked If they are the property os the German embassy. 4

TIME SET FOR ANCHORAGE STRIKE

Allegations are made that Mears and his superintendent are cutting the wages in some cases below those which were in force before the first strike was called. Other charges are that foremen in the employ of the en- gineering commission are circulating agreements among the men, asking them to sign their names to contracts which provide for reduction in wages. It is also alleged as one of the principal grievances of the workers that large numbers of foreigners are coming over the trail from Seward and are being put to work at once in preference of the members of the Union, and of American citizens and residents of Alaska.

SEWARD, April 20. - The Republi- can territorial convention convened In this city yesterday. The convention elected Louis P. Shackleford, of Ju- neau, and William A. Gilmore, of Nome, as delegates to the Republican national convention at Chicago next June The delegates will go unin- structed C. D. Murane, of Seattle, was recommended for the place of na- tional committeeman. George Scho- field was nominated for attorney-gen- eral of the territory. \ motion to in- struct the delegates to the national convention for Theodore Roosevelt was defeated. After the meeting ad- iourned a cablegram was sent 10 Dele gate James Wickersham at Washing ton, asking him if he would agree to support such a platform as the con vention would adopt It is thought likely that if Wickersham replies in the affirmative he will receive the Re publican nomination for delegate to Congress.

The board of ar bitration is also being censored se- verely for their apparent inactivity and needless delay. the suspicion be ing in the minds of the union men that the delay is a part of plot to give time for the so-called bohunks to ar rive in sufficient numbers from the outside so that strike breakers can be secured and the higher wages asked refused. The demands for immediate action have been transmitted to the authorities here, who have cabled the requests to the officials at Washing ton.

 When the first strike was under way the men agreed to return to work and defer the strike under an agree ment with Lieutenant Mears, the resi- dent member of the railroad commis- sion, pending the arrival of the arbi- tration board, and their action. The patience of the men is exhausted and last nights ultimatum was issued be- cause of alleged double dealing on the part of the officials of the railroad commission.

 SEWARD, April 20. - The Repub- lican territorial convention adjourned sine die at II o'clock last night. The name of James Wickersham, the pre- sent delegate to Congress from Alas. ka. was not presented to the conven- tion as a candidate for the Republican nomination. The convention decided to leave the naming of the party's candidate for delegate to a committee of four, consisting of Faulkner, Tom Lloyd, William A. Gilmore and Harvey Sullivan.
 The platform adopted pledges the Republicans to work for statehood for Alaska as far as the same can be se- cured. either in whole or in part; it declares in favor of government en- couragement of both private and gov ernment built railroads; for the re storation of the protective tariff; the esta ablishment of merchant marine; the extension of both the present wireless and cable service in Alaska to points not at present touched or reached; for adequate coast defence; and for the appointment of Alaskans to all federal offices within the ter ritory.
 The platform attacks the Democrats and the administration of President Wilson It was particularly vicious in it's strictures on Wilson's foreign

WASHINGTON. April 20. - It Is authoritatively stated that President Wilson believes that three or four days is a reasonable length of time for this government to await reply from Berlin to the submarine note, which should be delivered to the for eign office today. Such a period is sufficient in the eyes of the president and his advisers for Germany to arrive at a decision, and if no satisfactory reply, which must concede the Ameri- can demands. is forthcoming within that time. diplomatic relations will at once be broken off.

policy. charaeterizing the administra- tion's policy towards Mexico as vacil- lating.
 The Shackleford element absolutely controlled the convention by means of an alliance between the First, Sec ond and Fourth divisions, which left the Third division out in the cold. Gilmore held the solid delegation from the Nome district and Lloyd had all of the Fairbanks proxies, including the other sections of the Fourth divi- sion. Shackleford and his lieutenants controlled fifty-eight of the sixty dele gates from the First division. The opposition to Shackleford, which was centralized in the Third division, was showed under.
 The convention selected Shackle- ford and Gilmore as the Republican delegates to the national convention, electing Russell of Juneau and Lloyd of Fairbanks as alternates. Irving, q Juneau attorney, was elected by the body as chairman of the territorial committee, and Thompson of Fair banks secretary Schofield was nom mated as the party's candidate for territorial attorney general.
 A resolution, pledging the delegates to the national convention to vote for Roosevelt for president, introduced by E. F. Ray of Seward, former president of the Alaska senate, was defeated. The convention elected divisional committee for each of the four divi-

sions, composed of seven members. E.. F.. Ritchie of Valdez moved to leave the election of the divisional commit tees to the respective divisions, but the motion was defeated after a hot Hazelet, Ray, Whittemore, Shackle- ford, Murane, Irving and Gilmore took part. The warmest fight of the con vention occurred right here, and charges against the steam roller meth. ods of Shackleford and his gang" were hurled broadcast. Shack held the votes, however, and the minority was ruthlessly crushed.
 The convention then proceeded to elect the divisional committeeman For the First division the following were selected; Howard Ashley (Skagway) Elmert Smith (Douglas), Messrs.
 Faulkner and Ewin (Juneau. P. c. Mccormack (WrangelD, J. R. Heck man (Ketchikan) and John Goodell (Sitka); Second division. William Eddy, A. A. Allen. Fred Daniels, Henry Burgh, Dr. Chase, H. H.

The sec retary of state explained to the Ger man ambassador in detail the exact position which the United States has now taken on the controversy, and eN- pressed to the ambassador the sincere hope that the attitude of Germany would be satisfactory to the United States. Bernstorff told Lansing of message he had just sent to the Berlin foreign office, containing recommen- dations which he thought would be satisfactory to the United States. Af- ter the conference Bernstorff said that he was less hopeful of the situation today than he was last night, and inn mediately commenced the preparation of new message to his government.
