an attempt was made to organize a new cabinet. but this was unsuccess- ful. After an interval of several days the president, who in the mean time had been approached by repre- sentatives of the Entente Allies for an alliance and China's active par ticipation in the war, asked the old cabinet members 10 accept their old positions again, which they agreed to do.
 Early this morning the lower house of the Chinese congress endorsed the severance of relations with Germany, and this move was followed by similar action on the part of the senate this afternoon. It is now ex- peCted that the president will send notice tomorrow to Germany that as long as she holds to her policy of unrestricted submarine warfare the Chinese government will refuse to recognize her diplomats.

GERMAN SAILORS
 CAUSE TROUBI.E +
(AssoClaIed Prcss)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 12.-- Fearing for the safely of the city, the mayor of Philadelphia today wir- ed the secretary of the navy request ing that either the German com merce raiders Pr.nz Eitel Freidrich and Kron Prinz Wilhelm be removed from the city docks or the crews, consisting of 7J0 men, be placed in internment at League Island navy yard.
 While there has been but very lit tie trouble with these crews yet, there are indications that an out break may occur at any time, and the Philadelphia authorities fear that in case of any sudden change in the present situation, for the worse, the city police would be un, able to cope with the situation.
 The naval authorities are taking every precaution to guard against an outbreak on the part of the German sailors, and will probably increase the force of marines and sailors now stationed at League Island. It is not considered likely that the de partment will remove the vessels for the present at any rate.

BATTLE OPENED
 BY l. W. WIS
 ON SHIPBOARD
(Nssnclnfed pressN

SEATTLE. Mar 12-The Tracy murder trial was resumed at today's session of court with w Booth. for mer county auditor of Snohomish county, on the witness stand. This is the first of the I. W. w. prosecu. tions which originated from the pitch ed battle which was fought in Ever cit last fall between a boat load of Industrial Workers and a sherifrs posse, in which two of the posse and seven of the I. w W's were killed and several wounded.
 MT, Booth testified that the first shots were fired from the boat after the passengers had been forbidden to land. He himself was member of the posse which resisted the invasion of the I. w. W.'s. He reviewed the conditions which led to the rioting on November ,, and said that it was nonresident street speakers who in famed the striking shingle weavers. ilt t'SIIIItu lldl Ou oClODtI To nt and other citizens escorted forty one Free Speech advocates outside the city limits. He left them at the outskirts of the city, but said that he understood that all the captives were made to run the gauntlet of clubs and warned not to return to Everett under any circumstances.
 Reports of this being circulated through the state, the Industrial Workers called for volunteers to make a trip to Everett, and it is stated that they declared they in tended to land there and make all the speeches they desired They would do it peacefully if possible but if necessary they would not hesi- tate to use force. Accordingly, about fifty men chartered a steamer and made the trip to Everett, at which time the riot occurred.
 The trials have been widely ad- vertised by both sides, and much interest is being displayed over the outcome. Other members of the gang will be placed on trial as soon as the Tracy trial is completed.

to the pan, according to reports re ceived in town from Cinema.
 The first discovery was made about three weeks ago. At that time it was reported that pay prospects had been found on q dump which had been taken out while some men were engaged in sinking a well, but noth- ing much was thought of the find for the reason that gold is known to exist everywhere in the valley.
 Tie newest hole, which is heinz sunk by Dick Stein and associates. was the reason for the latest eX- citement. For, although the shaft is as yet only fifty feet deep, pans running from forty cents to g were found. according to reports Tom Lloyd, who arrived here yesterday y from the Kantishna, says that he stopped at Cinema long enough to see some banning done, and that the find looks good.
 The country on the right bank of the Cinema river for three miles above the town is reported to be all stakcd. Large numbers of Fairbanksans went down on Sunday and did some stalk ing, while others went yesterday.
 Questioned over the phone last night in regard to the stampede, Morritz Newman. manager of the Northern Commercial Co.'S store at Cinema, said that he had not inves- tigated the reported finds. He stat ed, however, that he had been reli- ably informed that gold in paying quantities had been found.
 None of the shafts which have been started have as yet been put to bedrock It is believed, however, that bedrock is a matter of about ninety feet deep.
 Should it prove to be fact that the people of Cinema have been living over paystreak without realizing it, it is probable that there will be considerable activity in a mining way there There is also a probability that there will be considerable llti- gation if the strike proves to be le- gitimate, both on account of the prior location of the townsite and the stalk ing which has been done since the strike was made.
