Associated P-1ssl
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. G. President Wilson today sent to the senate the nomination of Thomas Riggs, Jr.. for governor of Alaska. No fight is expected to be made on the nomination. and MT. Riggs will probably receive his confirmation in a short time.
 MT. Riggs has worked in Alaska for many years and is widely known there. He was chief of the United States boundary survey, establishing the line. between Alaska and Cana da. He is native of Maryland.
 Upon the passage of the Alaska railway bill by congress he was ap- pointed a member of the commis- sion in charge of the construction of the line and has been in charge of the interior division since that time.
 He was strongly supported for the appointment by Democrats through out Alaska. He will probably re- main in Washingto nuntil his ap- pointment is confirmed and go di- rect to Juneau to assume the duties of his new office.
 There has been no mention of a successor to Mir. Riggs as member of the railway commission. Secre- tary Lane will probably make some announcement in this connection dur ing the next few days.

RUSSIANS MOVE GOVERNMENT TO
 CITY OF MOSCOW
(AS9ociatod preesN

Associated Press)
 LONDON, Mar. 6.--The Bolsheviki government of Russia Is evacuating Petrograd and moving the seat of government to Moscow, the ancient capital of Russia. Petrograd will be made free port of entry.
 The larger part of the population of Petrograd is quitting that place hurriedly on account of the contin- ued advance of the German troops, who, despite the fact that the peace terms have been signed by the Bol- sheviki delegates, are pressing on ward to Petrograd
 There is some doubt now as to the approval of the delegates action in signing the peace terms, and it is possible that it will not be ratified. The Bolsheviki councils in Moscow are said to be more opposed to the Germans and separate peace than the Petrograd councils.
 It is reported here that the Rus sian council of workmen's and sol diers' delegates will not accept the latest German peace terms when it meets next week at Moscow.
 If this council should refuse to ratify the agreement, it is believed that it will mean the downfall of the Lenine-Trotzky government of Russia. ~
 WILL NOT SUBMIT
 PETROGRAD; Mar 6.--In an in terview given representative of the Associated Press this morning, Foreign Minister Trotzky said that the Bolsheviki leaders are prepared to withdraw even as far as the Ural mountains rather than submit to the defeat of the social revolution. The removal of the government to Mos COW is only the first precautionary step to be taken, and should it be- come necessary, the government will move even further east.
