LATE RUSSIAN
 JAP TREATY IS
 FAR REACHING

Associated Press Correspondence ONDON.-ACCOrding to informa- ton through Russian sources, the recent rapproachment between Rus sia and Japan is likely to have a more far-reaching effect than is shown in the formal treaty signed at Tokyo and made public. The formal treaty had a platonic as surance that neither country will at tack the other, and in case of a diff ference both countries will consult with a view to adjustment. But Rus sian officials who were in Japan at the time of the negotiations and are now here enroute hOmeward, say certain collateral agreements made in conjunction with the treaty give it real and practical bearing and are really more important than the treaty itself.
 One of these collateral features, as described by the Russian off ciaIs, is the withdrawal of Japanese troops stationed as a guard in Cen tral and Western Manchuria. The presence of these troops, while not an aggressive move, has been con- sidered a sufficient menace to re- quire the presence of a like Rus sian force in Eastern Siberia, along the border of Manchuria The with draWal of the Japanese troops is said to be of great advantage to Russia, as it now permits the large force of Russian soldiers, hitherto held inactive to be transferred to the western fighting front. This fea- ture, which is not expressed in the treaty, is said to be one of the chief corallaries from the formal agree ment not to attack each other.
 Other features agreed upon are said to be an extension and develop ment of the terms Japan received under the treaty of Portsmouth. Fol lowing that treaty the great trunk railway running north from Port Ar thur and Dalney through southern Manchuria passed under Japanese control. This control is now to be further extended northward, from Shangtung to Harbin, thus giving Japan authority over practically all of the great trunk lines through Manchuria.
 Another extension of Japan's con- mercial authority will be on the Sun gari river, one of the great branches of the Amur, heretofore restricted in trade to Russia, but now to be open throughout it's length to the commerce of Japan. The Sungari is 800 miles long and it's adjacent com. merce is so great that the region has the distinctive name of Sungaria.
 The Portsmouth Treaty also gave Japan one half of the island of Sak- halin, lying off the Russian Pacific coast, and practically part of the Japanese group of islands as it is sep arated from Yezo only by a narrow strait Under the new agreement it is said that Japan will acquire the other half of Sakhalin at the conclusion of the war. thus extend ing her authority over the entire 1 island, with an area of some 30,000 square miles, and completing her con- trol of all the islands in the Japan ese groups.

NENANA DEFEATS
 FAIRBANKS IN
 EXCITING GAME

] In very exciting game of basket ball played at the Auditorium last night, Ncnaua defeated Fairbanks by a score of 32 to F. Notwithstanding l the one-s.dcd score. the game was full of interest from beginning to end The large crowd ol fans were treated to a bunch of spectacular plays that brought them to their feet time and time again.
 ! Nonana put up an exhibition of team play that Was worth the time of anybody who went to see it. Hub bach, at guard for Nenana, was a tower of strength. In his particular ease 1t was just too much man. His opponent could not cover both sides of him at once. One of the most striking features of the game was TayIors basket throwing. When he gets the ball all he knows is to cage it. and cage it he did last night. Captain Momb, of Ncnana, put up his usual good game, as did the rest of the team. Their superior team work and heavy weight brought home the bacon.
 Fairbanks put up stiffer fight | i,, bn spectators standpoint it seemed as though their attempts 10 make spec tacular baskets from the middle of the floor contributed to their down fall Also poor basket shooting by each member of the team kept down their score. A number of shots were missed. They also showed a lack of teamwork as compared with their opponents. They showed won derful speed. however, and with bet ter throwing of baskets would have had a chance to win.
 The game was good one. Free from all manner of crooked work or dirty playing, it was a fast, snappy exhibition of basketball and good sportsmanship on the part of both teams. The same teams will play again at the Auditorium tonight.
 Before the game between Fair banks and Nenana. the two ladies teams of Fairbanks will play an eN- hibition game. starting at s o'clock sharp. The price ot admission for both games will be fifty cents. Al ter the games are finished a dance will be given log<lhe Eenana team.

TROUBLES OF A LOCAL MAN
 WHEN WEATHER IS 50 BELOW

In spite of the efforts or a news gatherer to start something, there are evidently days that are as blank as the mind of q now born ,a.auC These days are more likely 10 come in long spell of severely cold weather than at any other time. For it runs in us all 10 hug the warm corners and study the hat pla..s .a the stove and move only 10 turn and roast the other s.Ge. or the man who neglects the stove which We are visiting.
 Nor is there anything particularly enlivening in wandering round from one place to another. places that are generally good for "spaoe filler" and after a few moments conversation @ on the weather have each and every one of them look "N 'Od III dA olI, De BtIC tyHt of voice, and say to us cheerlly, There is nothing doing today" Or course, he is not kidding Us and We know it. but that doesn't help mat ters very much in fItty-below weather.

STAMPEDERS AT CHENA SHAKING
 WHOLE TOWN

It was reported in town last night that the entire town of Cinema had been Slaked by citizens of the town for placer ,nlning. The same report stated hat coarse gold had been found at the bottom of a we'll which was dug there last fall.
 In an effort to ascertain what foundation there was to the report, The Citizen las, night called up Mau- rice Newman, the agent for the N c. Co. at Chcna, and questioned him concerning the report. MT. Newman, while little reticent regarding the affair, stated that number of claims had been staked in the town
 According to the information re- celved by The Citizen last night, some man, whose name could not be ascertained, dug a we'll near his cabin last fall, and recently good prospects were found in the dump near the well. An investigation of the bottom of the well showed coarse gold to exist there. How much was found. or whether it reached bedrock, could not be learn ed, but according to MT. Newman a sufficient quantity was located to justify the stalking that has been done
 According to one local mining man, coarse gold was found in the dump near another we'll in Cinema several years ago. But, owing to the fact that it was impossible to reach bed rock. on account of the waters of the Tanana river breaking through. no further attempt at prospecting was done at that time.

TAFT CONDEMNS GERMANS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. . Speaking today before the conyen- ton of chambers of commerce of the United States, William Howard Taft condemned the attitude of Ger many on the submarine question in strong terms. He said that it has been Germany's intent and object to force this country to go to war, and that if America were forced to enter the great European conflict it would be Germany's fault.
 He predicted that President Wilson will sever diplomatic relations with Germany, and says that the first overt act on the part of Germany will cause a declaration of war He also predicted that the American people will stand behind the Presi- dent in any emergency.
 In cOndemning the attitude of the German government relative to un- restricted warfare, MT. Taft said that Germany's manifest weakness had been her failure to understand the people of other nations and to ap- precate the moral forces working in them.

BRYAN AND TAFT GIVE VIEWS ON
 1RE SITUATION
GA SsOciated press)

NEW YORK. Feb. Civilian Jen, nings Bryan was the chief speaker today at a mass meeting called by the American neutral conference committee at Madison Square Gar. den. He made one of his famous peace addresses, his subject being the German note which was recently received at Washington and which has been the cause of grave concern among the administration officials.
 Bryan declared, in his speech that it would be a crime against the American nation and against the world if the United States entered the European war God forbid that we should go to war with a nation which is not an enemy and which does not demand and does not want war with the United States were his words.
 Bryan's remarks along this line were the cause of much enthusiasm among the pacific element which was in attendance at the conference. and he was loudly cheered. He reused an equal amount of enthusiasm when he declared that the constitution of the Urited States should be amended so that a referendum vote of the people of the country should decide whether or not the country should go to war
 At the conclusion of Bryan's ad- dress and those of several other well known pacifists, resolution was adopted pledging the support of the society to the President in any effort he may make to keep the United States out of the Euro pean war.
