EXPLORING ALASKA.
Remarkable Success of the Army
Officers The Worlds Record
Since Livingstone Beaten.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 15.-General Nelson A.
Miles. who is in this city, received telegram yes
terday from Lieutenant Henry A, Allen of the
Second Cavalry stating that he had arrived safely
in San Francisco after his Alaska explorations,
having completed journey through the regions
of the far north, which. in the opinion of General
Miles, excelled all explorations on the, American 1
continent since Lewis and Clark, and the worlds
record since Livingstone. Lieutenant Allen left
Sitka last February and journeyed to the mouth OF
the Copper River, which he followed until he
reached the great Alaskan range of mountains; s;
These he crossed on snow shoes to the head OF
the Tennah River, in itself marvellous accom-
plshment. For 700 or 800 miles he followed the
Tennah until it empted into the Takon, the great
river Of the North to its mouth, distance OF 400
great journey, Lieutenant Allen repaired to Fort
Michel on the Behring's, and returned on the
steamer Corwin.
The exploration of the Tennah and Taknon Ry-
ers has been the ambition Of explorers long before
Alaska came into the possession of the United
States but the Russians failed each time. it was
attempted. Since then, several explorations bby
American officers have ended in a failure, until
among the army officers on the Pacific Coast the
feat came to be considered well nigh impossible
Lieutenant Aliens companions were sergeant
and an officer of the signal corps, together WIN
the Indians whom he persuaded to join him.
