 "I am moi surprised that there have been reports that the WaIspte was sunk he said. "as from our position between our fleet and the German battlaShips our escape from such a fate was simply miraculous. Several times we disappeared from sight in the smoke and spray.

INQUIRY FOR MISSING MAI!
 BRlNGS DETAILS OF TRAGEDY

In last weeks mail Postmaster VI WlIiiam Anslev received communication from Mrs. Johanna hrueger of New York, who sought information of her son, Frank hrueger, whom she had not heard from since he left New York for the Chic,g exposition, nearly quarter of centUIy ago. She states that she is well advanced in years and says that any information you cen give me will be gratefully received by his heart-bYoken mother
 Evidently copy of the letter has been sent to various other Alaska cities and the Valdez ProspectoE has learned of krueger's fate and of remarkable coincidence in con ncctjon with the inquiry.
 Tn the winter of l9G5-06, says tie Pros pactor, "I<rucgor and fontius Et!a~aon left Red river on the western coast of Kodiak iIand, and about lSJ mlaS from the town cf Kodiak. for an over I,i,5 trip 5o the town. They were overjekcn by d severe snow storm and coll weather and are believed to have pershed. They never reached thel1 destination, and later q diIjgcnt search was made for their bodies but they could not bc found. No doubt, however, exists that they perl,hac!, as inquiry at al points where they c2UIl possibly have touched failed to reveal any trace cf thcm.
 "A short time ago the marshaTs office received an inquiry for information regarI- ing the whereabouts Of EIaSson, whose presence wa. required in San Francisco in the settlement of an estate, or proof re qureJ cf hsa Gc14j,e In response to this inquiry he marshal sent t2 Kodiak for af td&vita regarding the fate of ELa.-@n, ant these afH5aylts have just beer received an. of nocy-s..y also included in them the re- port of the fate oi hrGeser IHq-!ry f.. whom Was received coincldent with the re lcut oi the o5ii.ayita
 It is deemed q strange coincidence tha. inquiry fer both ol these men, who ror,ahcl together >hoyil have been received at tie same time from opposite sides Of the c5nu- rent The mar>h4Ts office will send a copy of the afidaviss to both the attorney iii S"n Francisco, inqulng fer Ella-son and to the aged mother of Nrcusar, who i, long ing for news from her missing son.'

 Uc@ssing the foreign policy of tie 4d niui-t~atcn the document says that It has f. lowed the highest American traditions. | has preferred respect for the fundamental rights of smaller states even to tr2Earty in tere,ts, and has secured the friendship of the pco l. of these states for the United States by refusing to make a more ma,cIel interest an excuse for the assertion of our superior power against the dignity of their sovereign independence. Il has re.ar; 2t the lives cf its citizens and tine claims of humanity as of greater moment than ma telial rights, and peace as the best basis for the just settlement of commercial claims. Il has made the honor and ideals of the United States its standard alike in nego- tia;ion and action"
 The Pan-American conference is com mcndcd and the Monroe doctrine is re asserted as the principle of Democratic faith.
 The Presidents Mexican policy is thus clearly stated:
 The want of a stable, responsible gov ernment in Mexico, capable of repressng and punjshing marauders and bandit bands who have not only taken the lives and seized and destroyed the property of Ameri- can citizens in that country, but have in sol2ntly invaded our soil, made war upon and murdered our people thereon, has ren dered 1t necessary temporarily to occupy by our armed forces a portion of the territory of that friendly state. Until. by the restora- ton of law and order therein. a repetition of such ncursi0ns is improbable the neceS sty for their remaining will continue. In tervention, implying as it does, military sub jugation, is revolHng to the people of the United States, notwithstanding the provoca- tiCn to that course has been great and should be resortcd 10, if at all, only as last resort The stubborn resistance of the President and his advisers to every demand and suggestion to enter upon it is credltable alike to them and to the people in whose name he speaks"
 The pending act to promote the construc ton of a merchant marine is lndorsed, the prosecution of Investigations and plans to render agriculture more profitable and coun trv life more healthful, comfortable and at tractive Is favored, as is the extension ot national aid in the construction of post roads and roads for military purposes.
 The passage of acts which, while serving the purpose of true conservation, twill not withhold such resources from development" is advocated and "the policy of retaining our arid lands should be adhered to-"
 With regard to government employment the platform holds "that the life, health
