GEAR 0F RUSSIA VISITS THE DUMA
 
Is First Ruler to Do So and People Are Rejoicing Believing that
 New Era Is Launched.

PETROGRAD, Feb. 24.-The visit of the Czar to the Russian Duma while the house was in session caused great rejoicing throughout the na- tion as it is believed that the visit precedes a new union of the govern ment and the people. The visit of the Czar was the first of any Russian ruler to the house while the repre- sentatives of the people were present, and resulted in great enthusiasm among the members.
 The Czar urged the Duma to tran sact the pending legislation as quick ly as possible so as to provide all ne cessary measures to conserve the re- sources of the nation. He said that the Russian troops were gaining vic tories along the western frontier and in the Caucasus and that a glorious victory would ultimately be won by the Russian army.

SAYS CENTRAL POWERS
 WILL FORCE PEACE SOON

BERLIN: The Sofia correspon- dent of the Vossiche Zeitung tele- graph the summary of an interview with the Bulgarian Generalissimo Schekow. He said:
 After the victories achieved and the sacrifices by the Bulgarian people and army, there can be no doubt that Bulgaria stands on the threshold of the brilliant future, all the more be- cause army and people are one in the purpose of continuing the fighting to a successful end.
 "Montenegro's equalization has great political significance. It was a heavy blow for the Allies. One may already safely assume that because jof the Montenegrins' equalization the plan for action against Saloniki has greatly lost it's importance.
 "The French will probably give up that adventure at a psychological moment and withdraw their troops fir om Saloniki. This will probably cause Cabinet crisis in France. and bring the radicals into power. "One cannot yet say where peace will be concluded. but it is of no par ticular importance. This much is cer- tain: Germany and her allies will force peace upon her enemies this year in any event, and perhaps in the very near future. about Spring. Spring will in any event bring great and decisive events. Everything points to the conclusion that Italy will make separate peace by Spring 1 at the latest because she will have be- come convinced that the Quadruple Entynpte cannot guarantee ultimate victory and because. internal condi- F tions will force her to make peace" :" e.

The race between Alexander Brad ford and HI. H. Waller for the can nery site of 'Herendeen bay in Der. ling sea is not finished yet and there lis considerable speculation to the westward as to which of the men will be the first to reach the Juneau land office to file his location.
 The cannery site is worth from $35, 900 to $50,000 and the race be- tween Waller and Bradford began ir
 January with Waller in the lead and when the Admiral Farragut passed southward the other day he was a passenger on her bound for Juneau, Bradford is believed to be speeding across the Gulf of Alaska in a gas-
 boat headed for Juneau in an effort to head Waller off and file his loca- ltion first.
 Bradford arrived at the cannery site six hours ahead of Waller but the latter finished his survey first and started on the return trip. Brad ford had made the last lap of his westward trip in schooner which was commandered by the U. 8. dep |uty marshal at Unga to make the trip to King Cove to investigate a murder and this may have cost him the val
 uable cannery site.
