ERRATic LORD LoNspALE.
His Recent Travels Through the
Arctic Regions.

PHILADELPHIA, April 5.-The Inquirer
tomorrow will print the following interest
ing story "The erratic Lord Lonsdale was
recently reported dead in the Arctic regions
on his way home to England. The first au-
thentic news from him in months was
printed in the Enquirer yesterday morning
in the shape of an extract from letter Just
received at Bethlehem from Mr.. Wolf, a
Moravian missionary stationed at Musho-
gak, near Fort Alexanda, Bristol Bay,
Alaska, latitude 5l0 north, longitude 1882
west.
Lonsdale arrived at the Mushogak mission
on December 15 of last year after long and
tedious journey of 1000 miles overland from
Balka land, latitude 73o north. This was

and remained ,unril January, l4th Of this
year. The Earl was quite exhausted from
fatigue and hunger. The country he had
trayersed was rough and open. with very
little game. The snow was terribly drifted,
and the shedding so bad that most Of the
journey was made ON foot, the dogs barely
managing to drag the sleds loaded with the
camp outfit and provisions. The cold expe-
rienced was intense. On Dec. LIST, the ther-
Frequently stops were made for week in
favorable localities, and all hands went out
to hunt hares and reindeer for food. Terri
BILE billiards swept across the country con-
tlnually, ana the utmost eXertl0nS were ne
cessary to keep the party from being scat
tered and frozen to DEATH Eleven dogs died
of overwork and exposure, and many of the
remaining 20 were in bad condition.
Lonsdale estimates that he travelled by
dog-sled and on foot about 10000 miles from
Winnipeg in little more than year. In
the Hudson's Bay region, where
the snow and Ice were smooth,
the dogs frequently carried them over 200
miles day. He was in excellent spirits
notwithstanding that he could not make the
North Pole as he originally intended. He
left the mission January 14th and started
across the peninsula to Katamaie on the
North Pacific. From here he crossed to
Kodiac Island where there is whaling
station. From there he sent back sled
and Cog team to Wolf with his compliments.
The Earl sent word that he would sail for
England at once. No news has been received
of his arrival at any American port and it is
possible he has turned whaler to get new
experience.

He was ordered TO go home, but declined to

WAR ALONG THE DES MONIES RIVER.
a Small Army of Settlers Ready for
Battle with the MarshaIs.
Mounted Spies Employed to Give
Warning of the Enemy.
HelI's Hollow Becomes the Scene Of
BIoodIess Battle.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, April 5.-Full accounts
of the troubles at the Des Moines River lands
yesterday show that a United States
marshal and posse visited farmer named
Blake on the Litchfeld lands. Blake's farm
Is in Hamilton county, 16 miles southeast
from Webster City. near what is known
among the settlers as Hell's Hollow. When
the posse reached the place they found
Blake had moved his house across the road
and entirely off the Litchfeld tract. Some
Of his machinery was still left, but this he
was getting out of the way as rapidly as pos
sible. The officers did not molest Blake nor
offer him any violence whatever, but shortly
after they arrived upon the scene puff Of
smoke, rifle crack and whizzing bullet
told them that the settlers had opened fire.
The shots came from dense thicket OF hazel,
a quarter OF a mile away. Probably forty
shots were fired, but the craftsmanship was
either poor or the range was Intentionally
wide, for none Of the deputies was hurt.
The posse had number OF wrl- s, but as
they were only armed with rev0lvers they
did not attempt to serve them. There were
probably 20 or 30 armed settlers In the tim
Der. Marshal Desmond will take the matter
personally in charge in few days, and will

Settlers Union, and are as thoroughly dis
ciplined and as well prepared for systematic
action as the Ku-Klux eyer were. They are
armed with Winchesters and shooting daily.
They have sworn to resist all attempts at
eviction, and as the United States marshals
will do their duty regardless Of consequences,
blO0dshed seems destined to be the result.
Their system Of spreading the news by tele-
phone from town to town by carriers mounted
on feet horses is we'll perfected. Ii amarshal

within an hour or two the fact Is known on
every section Of river land in Webster and
Hamilton counties. end every movement OF
the marshals is watched by faithful spies
and promptly reported. Last week num-
Der OF wrlts were served. The marshals
were well armed, and were frequently met
by squads Of men armed with Winchesters,
who ordered them to desist operations, and
threatened to shoot them down like dogs If
they persisted in their purpose. These men
were nearly always mounted on horses, and
squads circled round and round the mar
shals, cursing and threatening them, but at
that time no shots were fired. The part of
Hamilton county where the shooting oc-
Cured yesterday Is very rough and covered
with scraggy growth Of timber and thick
cts. In early times 1t was common resort
for horse thieves, and even in later years
they have, 1t is claimed, made 1t a rendez-
vous. When the marshals are REINFORCED
the work of evictions Will proceed without
delay. The settlers are determined, and
war on a small scale will undoubtedly re-
suit. Nothing will probably be done, how
ever, for several days.

KILLED EIGHT PERSONS
And Fired the House to Hide the
Evidence Of Guilt,

- FoRDxnE, rlz-s-Af.sii.-0--Ii-- Diekann
sheriff of Titus county, Texas, has arrested
Frank Shulze at this place on charge of
murder. On the night of December 10th
last, the house of j. r. King, well-to-do
farmer of Titus county was burned and the
charred remains of King, his wife and six
children were found in the ashes. The
skulls of all the family were crushed in and
an axe and a hatchet were found in the
house. On the day of the murder, King and
his son, aged 20. killed their hogs and as
they were to move into new house few
hundred yards distant, carried the meat to
the new house. Young King slept there to
guard the meat on the night of the murder
Before going to the new house for the night,
Young King used the axe and left it at the
ward gate. Suspicion pointed to Kings SON
fn-laW, Shulze, who had run away with
Kings daughter and forged an order for a
marriage license. Fear OF being prosecuted
for his forgery caused him to murder King
and his family. Shulzc made threats and
has since confessed to his friends that he
killed King and his wife and that his cousin
killed the six children and set fire TO the
house. The cousins name is also Shulze.

ArarIff compllcatIon.

CHICAGO, April "a number of customs
cases are now on trial in the United States
District Court in this city, known as ''the
hat trimmings cases." The tariff schedule
provides that imported hat trimmings shall
pay duty of 2Oper cent. Millinery houses
import large quantities Of silks, velvets and
trimmings. They claim that under the tariff
schedule the goods should only be taxed 20
per cent, but these goods when imported in
the ordinary way are made to bear duty of
40 to 90 per cent under other provisions of
the tariff schedule. Collectors of customs
all over the country refused to accede to the
demands of the milliners and the result is
that suits were brought against them in
variouslparts of the country claiming rebates
The cases now on trial are in the nature of
test cases.
