CHRISTENSEN TO MAKE SEWARD HEADQUARTERS
GERMANS TAKE DEADMANS HILL
 AND STRUGGLE STILL RACES
GERMANS WIN DEADMAN'S

BERLIN May 25.-The great fortress of Deadmans H the chief defense of the Vedun sector has fallen be- fore the German onslaught and the French have evacua ed it completely With the boodiest fighting in history still proceeding the giant German nut cracker is closing in on Verdun surely and steadily In the past seventy
 two hours the right jaw has advanced three miles on one front and the French after having lost whole army corps in defending Deadmans Hill compelled to eyacuate
 the whole stronghold It is estimated that thirty thou sand men died fighting in the dark underground cavems around the ruins of Douaumont in the sevenytwO hours but with no change in the battle line The caverns are hardly less than an underground city constructed by the French for the defense of the place. For the three days the Germans have poured in through the openings and have met the enemy in the most ghasty hand to hand fighting in the records of the worlds daughters The war office positively denies the statement of the French government some days ago that General Neuves forces had entered DOuaumOnt fort It is denied that the French even temporarily occupied the ruins of the fort and 1t is stated officially that only French detachment entered part of the fort and it was completely wiped out The struggle is still proceeding, the French fighting with magnificent courage and determination and aided by the underground works which make the most formidable de- lenses in existence.

Kenai Cannery is
 Burned to Ground

The Northwestern Fisheries Com pany's camery at Kenai was totally destroyed by fire last Monday night, nothing but the bunkhOuse having been left standing. Manager Lafning is unable to account for the accident as the fire broke out first in a corner of the buildings which were occupied by nothing but old cans and similar things. All the cans and general equipment for conducting the work have been lost and it is feared that the season will be lost in addition to the cannery itself, An attempt will be made, however, to get another out fit ready before the season has grown too old. t is impossible at present to make a fair estimate of tho loss.

Taking The Liquor
 Census Here Today

According to the new method the census of the people of Seward with their opinion as to the granting of liquor licenses is being taken this afternoon. The license of the Termin- al Bar is up for renewal on june I and, as usual nowadays, the opinion of the residents with respect to this license will be taken as the opinion about granting or not granting any licenses this year.
 l.. c. Bates and Harry Ellsworth are the census takers. Down in the First division just now a warm fight is raging over the ruling by Judge Jennings that votes which are not east must be counted as being opposed to the granting of liquor licenses. Sew ard is strongly in favor of licenses just now because they express the feeling that an opposite course would be fatal to the material welfare of the district just now.

ONLY THOSE THREE IN RUN MING AND HUGHES MAY
 BE SHOWED OUT.

WASHINGTON, May 25. .- ROOse, welt, Root and Hughes make up the triangle which politicians regard as the chart of the Republican president ial situation. They are the only candidates which Washington re- gards seriously. The developments in the past few days indicate that the Roosevelt and Root forces are getting closer together and holding a common interest with a view to smoking out Hughes. This plan of campaign IS expected to give rise to the most in- teresting situation before the cam paign comes to it's climax at the con- ventiOn.

SUBMARINE ATLANTIC SERVICE

NEW YORK; May A - Deayed) I'll Evening
 Mail announces that it has the information on the best authority that Germany will inaugurate transatlantic service with submarines next month The intention is to run the submarines regularly between Hamburg and New York with mails and parcels and probably with few pas sengers The trip by submarine it is stated can be made in ten days The first submarine is expected to reach New York on the first of July All the undersea craft in the service will be armed for defense. This has created an impression that with these submarines ostensiby
 meant for peace service Germany hopes to tempt British
 liners and warships to to stop them, giving the submarines an excuse to attack On the other hand it is stated that Germany has specially built large submarines for merchant purposes to defy the British blockade and that the transatlantic service was intended for long time,

Defense in Waite
 Case is Insanity

NEW YORK, May 25.-The prose cution has rested in the Waite case and it is now known that the defense will depend on the effort to prove the dentist was insane when he murdered his father-in-law, and the general opinion is that he could not have been properly balanced, at least at that time although he has since given every evidence of being sane.

begin as early as the preceding Jan uary. But within six weeks of the approaching assembly there were only two men who were actually known to have their that's in the ring"
 One is the Rev. pr. Samuel S. Palmer, pastor of Park Church, Columbus, Ohio, who was a defeated candidate a few years ago. The other is the Rev. Dr. John A. Marquiss, president of COe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Both are well known throughout the Church.
 It seems that geographically each has a good chance, as there is a senti- ment to let the honor go to a man from the Middle West.
 pr. Palmer was defeated at the Atlanta assembly, and Dr. MarQuiss refused to let his friends nominate him at Chicago, as they desired so as to leave the field clear for the Rev pr. Maitland Alexander, of Pitts burgh, who was elected.
 It is possible that another candidate may be the Rev. Dr. Cornelius M Steffens, president of Dubuque Col lege and Theological Seminary, who was one of the defeated candidates al Rochester. But many believe that pr. StefTens would not consent to TUT against a man in his own synod.
 It is possible that friends may put forward the Rev. Dr. George B Stewart, president of Auburn TheOlO gical Seminary, Auburn, N. Y. Dr Stewart was defeated also last year Because the three nominees a Rochester-Drs. Stevenson, Stewar and Stefens--alI have names which b, gin with "st," they have been knowl ever since as "The Three Saints"
 Another question that is interesting tPresbyterian leaders is who they shal elect to succeed the late Rev. Dr William B. Noble as permanent clerI of the assembly. Dr. Noble, who's home was in Coronado, Calf, die, last summer. The office carries witI it a salary of s75O.
 Of the many candidates for tha position one is the Rev. Dr. Clarenc G. Reynolds, pastor in Elizabeth, N J.
 There are many who are urging tn merging of the office with that of tn assistant stated clerk, the incumben of which is the Rev. Dr. James M Hubbert, who works the year arOun 1 in the General Assembly's headquart CTS, in Philadelphia, under the Rev pr. William Henry Roberts, the stat ed clerk.
