WASHINGTON, ID. G.. June 2S.-The
tension in Washington over the Mex
lean situation was notably lessened to-
night by the news received through
unofficial sources from the border that
General Trevino had ordered the re-
lease OF he American prisoners taken
at Carrizal and their equipment.
While Washington officials up to a
late hour were without any conHrma-
ton of these reports, the disposition
vas to regard them as authentic. The
pSssimism which has been apparent at
the White House and in other official
quarters, gave place to a brighter
outlook and it was acknowledged that
If Carranza yielded to the demand OF
the United States to this extent, an i'm
portant step has been taken toward
averting the crisis.
The change of feeling in Washing
ton was all the more noticeable be-
President Wilson, until word
was flashed of General T~revino's ac-
ton, had been making his plans on the
assumption that further peaceful par
leys with Carranza were impossible.
The President had in fact made pre-
liminary arrangements to lay the Mex
lean situation before Congress at one
O'Clock tomorrow. He had expected a
rejection of the American demand and
had prepared a tentative outline of his
address to Congress.
III Carranza has ordered the release
OF the prisoners, as now seems GER
tain, this action is probably only he
~forerunner of further concessions. The
United States i'm it's recent note to
General Carranza demanded the i'm
mediate release of the prisoners to-
gether with the property of the United
States, and also called upon Carranza
to inform this government as to the
course Of action which the Mexican
government has determined upon for
the future.
The belief here is that Carranza
would not have yielded on the first of
these demands unless he intended to
adopt a c~onciliatory course towards
he second.
There is no doubt that President
Wilson will welcome the opportunity
for a peaceful understanding with
Carranzza and that he will 60 more

POPULATION OF ANCHORAGE
 AS REVEALED BY CENSUS

According to a census just completed taken under the auspices of Townsite Man ager Watts which Is considered as accurate as possible to obtain, in that a house tC house canvass was made there are now living within the townsite limits of Anchor age 1882 persons, says the Anchorage 1lme> of August 19 This of course, does not in clude the Commission side of Ship creek nor does it embrace the 193 inhabitants o the free use districts or other inhabitants living on the verge of the town limits There are fourteen families living on Gov ernment hill, in all 4S persons. There are about 12O employees of the commission oc- cupying government sleeping quarters on the flat.
 If those living on the Commission side of Ship creek and those residing on the i'm mediate outskirts of the town were in cluded the present population would be about 3,840.
 There are some 2,500 men employed on the railway work at various points in this division. Of these, a conservative estimate suggests that at least 2,000 of them live, when at home, in Anchorage. This wouli increase the population and make the total 5,480.
 The census shows that, including the Commission side and the immediate en- virons, there are 2,55S adult males, 583 adult females, and $40 children in Anchor age. Of the children, 193 are of school

PEACE AND CONFINEMENT

A letter from C. J. Maltby from Tenakee Springs rear Juneau, gives peaceful de scrpticn of that place which will have a soothing effect upon busy Iditarod people. Says "Rip":
 "Tenakee is rather a pretty place, and quite number of people of all grades are coming and going all the time, principally cripples and those afflicted with rheumatism, and 1 believe the springs possess curative powers as so many go away cured. There are number here yet, and will be for some time This place is situated on Tenakee inlet, about ten miles from Chatham strait. The town is about mile long straight along the shore There i< just one street. planked the whcle length about twenty feet wide Two stores, a restaurant and pool room comprise the business interests of the place Fishing Is the main industry, and there is big cannery about five miles be low this village Nothing but peace and contentment reign here. No one works-all are on the recuperating order. There is plenty of game here including deer and birds. The weather has been ideal with sunshine every day. There are about one hundred cabins mostly owned by the mer- chant, and they keep pretty well rented at from $S to $10 per month"

HUGHES DISAPPOINTING
Seattle Times, Ind. Rep. ]


 'The thousands who heard Charles E. Hughes speak last night at The Arena were disappointed. They realized that, orator ically, his address was admirable, but they came away with definite impression that the Republican candidate had not offered single constructive suggestion in the course of his remarks
 "Tied to the political fortunes of no party and no candidate the Times feels that it can view the national presidential cam paign impartiilly, and it does not hesitate to declare tEat the New Yorker cannot make winning fight on program of de structive criticism. The public is not averse to being advised of the errors of the Will son administration, but it desires to know what his opponent would have done under the same circumstances and, m particular, what he proposes to do in the event that he IS elected next November.
 "1he greatest applause aroused by any of his remarks fo lowed his reference to Alaska and the tariff Here was his oppor tunity to lay before the people of the North west his views on these two great ques ticns. Instead he cOntented himself with brief and remarkably vague generalities. He did not make one constructive sugges tion and he was singularly reserved in his comment upon conditions developed by the Democrats or likely to be developed during the next administration.
 'In point of fact, the Republican candl date is not meeting the issues raised by his Democratic opponents He Is not giving the Republicans the sort of leadership that spells victory His address last night was substantially the same as that delivered at other places on his Western tour. It ex- cited favorable comment when first deliV- cred, because it was considered as an intro duction to later remarks which would ac quaint the people with his stand on the big questions of the day. He has not fulfilled those expectations The Timse remarked, in comment on his acceptance address, that 1t lacked force vigor, constructiveness and Gefiniteness Identically the same criticism can be made of the address delivered at The Arena.
 If last nights speech Is the best that Mir Hughes has to offer the American pcO Ile, there is every reason to credit the as sertions of Eastern observers, who predict comparatively easy victory for Mir. Will son in that section. Furthermore, it is not at all improbable that the g. o. p. ma jorities in the strongly Republican Western states will be materially reduced"

ADVERTISING IN ALASKA NEWSPAPERS

Mrs Ella Alexander Boole address delivered at the w. C. T. U convention at Juneau, showed thorough aE Dreca0n of the value of advertising end under standing of local conditions in Alaska when she said
 The newspapers of Alaska the ideal means Of reach ing the public in Alaska If you have something to to the public the newspapers In New York don't buy o'clock edition do buy the editions at 5 o'clock They old But in Alaska the papers read by and sometimes saved for days and days just for certain article In many where one family takes paper after the editions have been read they passed other families and sometimes many as live families read the paper This especially true Tn the mining camps, and while paper be only printing cer number of copies about times many people see and read the papers there subscribers.
 And another thing in connection with the papers the Alaska peore don't just glance the headlines and throw the paper away They read every word in them from ed orials advertising and if you thinking of spending
 money for lecturer don't do it. Spend the same amount fer space in your Alaska papers you will accomplish times the amount of good with the amount of money
