KEEPING LIQUOR OUT
 OF TOWN OF ANCHORAGE.

The government warehouses over at Anchorage are just now filled with all sorts of liquor taken by the gov ernment authorities from the boats and held there. H. s. Wilson. the Wells-Fargo agent, says that even pri- vate supplies of liquor kept by pas sengers in their rooms on the way to Anchorage were held by the authori- ties so that they might not reach the town itself. All stocks sent in from the outside have been held. Two days ago it showed heavily at Anchor age but the Inlet is absolutely clear of ice, MT. Wilson says. There seems to be work for all the unskilled la borers over there, but the white col Jared labor" supply exceeds the de- mand.

WASHINGTON D. C.. May D. Every indication points to break with Mexico, and probable war. The War Department this afternoon is- sued orders for the immediate depar- ture for the Mexican border of seven thousand regular, troops from the various posts throughout the coun- try. and immediately thereafter also called for a militia force from the states of Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico to the number of eight thou sand men. Vast quantities of supplies and munitions are being rushed to points along the border and it is con- fidently predicted that war between the United States and Mexico will oc. cur within a very few days.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May g. President Wilson has taken steps to break the deadlock in the Senate Jul dietary committee on the confirmation of Brandeis to the supreme bench. The President has appeared before the committee personally and urged that the appointment be confirmed, stating that the nominee is well fitted for the position to which he has been appointed. It is manifest that the opposition to Brandeis is strictly a party one, the republican members of the committee standing out against the confirmation while the democrats favor it. There is little doubt but that he will eventually be confirmed.
