ed States must ascertain definitely
and ;>rouipUy from Germany whethi 3
that government intends to observe

the cabinet meeting in which the
verdict of the majority of those at
tending the cabinet meeting was

sive aad unsatisfactory, disregard
iug the American good will, doubt
ing the facts, and disclaiming all J
blame 'Or the destruction of a mer- !
ihantman wiih the loss of American
iives.

German reply are considered irrele
vant.
li is predicted iu official quar-j
tiMs that if the reply of Germany to j
the next American note is unsatis
factory diplomatic relations between
the two countries will be severed.
The German ambassador called!
upon ♦he president by appointment
yesterday. When seen last nig-i.
the former declined to say what
points he Intended to discuss with
the president, but averred that fie
had not received any instructions
from Berlin regarding the differ
ences between the two countries,
other than the German reply al
ready handed the state repartment.

FORBIDDEN TO
FREQUENT BARS
Berlin, June 3—The Kaiser has
issued orders forbidding German sol
diers from visiting places where
intoxicants are dispensed. This is
iu line with a similar order issued
by the British government a short
time ago, in which it was claimed
the indulgence in liquor had great
ly impaired the efficiency of tiie
British troops.
It is reported in this city that
r'ormer Premier Giolittl, the Italian
who tried to prevent a declaration
or war by Italy against Austria,
nad to flee his native country tor
roar of Ms iife.
Fifty thousand dollars is quite
a sum to carry around, but that was
the amount taken through Skag
way 011 Tuesday morning by Charles
It*:ss, the largest stockholder iu
the Saiik at Iditarod. It was in
currency and is for the use of the
bank.
Geo. F. Ivilroy, a former well
known newspaper man of Montana
and Washington states, but of 're
cent years engaged in mining at
Xome and in the Iditarod, passed
til rough Tuesday morning ou
his way in to Circle City. He was
accompanied by his partner, Jame3
WtJIer, also an old-timer of the
north. Ivilroy and Weller have an
option on 12 miles of dredging
g'- und cu Harrison creek situated
100 miles from Circle, and 12 miles
trcm Clarence Berry's properties in
the Birch creek section. They pro
oose to prospect the property thor
oughly, and will remain on it dur
ing the coming winter. Mr. Kilro.v
sold mining property at Iditarod
abcut two years ago, and left for
the outside, and has been in Cali
fornia towns and Seattle most of
the time since then.
Fin
OK WAY OUT
A. P. Hellig, a prominent attorney,
and Jack Biglow, well known min
ing man, both of Fairbanks, Alas
ka, arrived in Skagway from the in
terior last night after seventeen days
rpent or, the way. Mr. Biglow was
one of the original locators in the
Porcupine mining district in Norther)
British Columbia and has valuable
placer properties on Ester creek,
in the Fairbanks district upon which
he has filed and expects to receive
[shortly a patent from the govern
j ment. Owing to conditions in tn*
Interior just at present he is not
working his claims, but expects
resume operations shortly.
Of the quartz outlook aroun'l
Fairbanks both Mr. Biglow and Mr.
it is better than ever. The free
Heilig are very optimistic and say
milling gold quartz ledges of Crites
& Feldroan, located on a tributary
of Fairbanks creek, upon which
much development work has leeu
done and a mill installed, . give
promise of being great producers,
and there are several other pro
perties in that immediate vicinity
being worked by their owners with
iheir own mills.
When asked as to the reported
working out of the placer areas in
the Fairbanks district both of theso
gentlemen derided the stateme.it
and said it was absolutely untrue
and would be vtovin so as soon as
the Keystone drills with which op
erators are now prospecting their
ground have had time to make a
test.
Both Mr. Heilig and Mr. Biglow
will go to the San Francisco expo
sition before returning to the m
| terior.
The Dolphin is due from the
oouth Monday night.
