PLISHED.
CHICAGO, Oct 22.-Lieut Frederick Sch watka
arrived in this city yesterday. having just re.
York.
Lieut.. Schwatk started out at the head of a
private expedition sent out last spring for
Alaska. The mission was of an exploring char
acter purely, to make an ascent Of Mount st.
Elias, which is 1880 feet high. He had a
party of about II men with him, including In
oil ms and all. Mr.. Schwatka said that The ex-
petition was entirely successful in its object, or
reasonably SO; that they climbed The mountain
to the i.eighth of 1920 feet and were pre-
vented from going higher on account of the
clouds. The snow line is at the base OF the
mountain: Several miles OF glacier had to be
traversed before the party reached the base,
prior TO the ascent. They We're four days In
making the ascent. Mr.. Schwatka said that
the expedition will not be renewed. Compare
lively little is known of Alaska except the coast
line. The lieutenant said that its resources
were great, but that some interests, like that OF
mining, as in other sections, were uncertain.
Other Interests or products are. he said, thor
oughly assured, but need development. The
hsherles he eniioned, among other things, as
very promising, but needed population along
the Pacific coast to develop the enterprise. The
FUR seal interests are leading at present. Mr..
Schwatka left last evening tor New York.

quest: Plaintiff desires the trial to be in the

pearance. and then twenty days more may
elapSe before they receive the complaint.
There will not be this delay. Mr.. Delos Nc
Curdy, OF Vanderpoel, Green q Cunning, who
has the case in his hands, says that he will GER
days. He declined TO state its nature, but it is
known that the indefiniteness OF the clause con-
shutting the general trust is the point OF at
tack. 1t is not likely that any attempt will be
made to en1Oin the executors in the meantime.
Under the iorty-third clause Ut the will, pre-

he also loses his right to request the cancela-

The executors will proceed at once TO make
an inventory OF the estate. They presented
bank yesterday, and transferred the account
