CLAIMS OF REPUBLICAN PAPERS.
The Tribune claims the election of Hemp
stead Washburn trep.) by plurality Of 436
votes This result is arrived at on COM
plete returns, partly Of those sent by the
judges of election to the police headqunrter
and part through independent researches
made by its reporters in cases where the
police returns were missing.
The InterOcedn (rep) makes Wssh>
burns plurality 1888.
The Daily NelCs ind) gives no figures on
the majority, but charges Mayor Cregier's
friends with attempting fraudulent work on
behalf of their candidate.
The Herald (dem.) says that it will re-
quire the official count to determine the
result and quotes the claim Of Mayor Gre
gier's friends TO the effect that on complete
returns he has a plurality of 235. The Her
GlG'S tabulated returns, however, give
Washourn plurality of 4S0 over Cregier.

his political managers claim his election by
plurality OF 235 on the face of the returns
brought in by the police. The official

THE OFFICIAL CANVASS.
The official canvass of the votes In the
late election began this afternoon, and it is
expected that the work will not be COM

and democrats continue to claim the cleo
ton of their respective candidates for
mayor, and until the official
canvass is finished it will
be impossible TO declare positively
which is correct. Two alleged errors in the

covered 60 day. In the twenty-seventh

was not credited with fifty votes which
were cast for him; and in the twenty fifth
ward the democrats claim that the number
of votes credited to Cregier was 100 short.

ON THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.
Adventures of an EnGlishman in TIN
Frozen Regions of North America.

Adventures of an Englishman in tho
Frozen Regions of North America.
Washburton Pike, an English ex-
plorer, has returned from the Arctic
circle. Leaving Calgary in June, 1889,
Mr.. Pike proceeded to Athabasca Land
ing, and from there to Fort Resolu-
ton, on Slave river. Here he secured
the services of two Indian guides and
helpers and started for the barren
lands in search of musk OK, caribou and
other large game. He had very sue
cessful hunt, killing about forty musk
OK and as many caribou as they were
in position to handle. On that trip
Mr.. Pike went as far north as Fish
river. this being the river on which
Franklin's first expedition to the north
pole was lost. He experienced many
adventures. The party was lost for
fourteen days and endured terrible
sufferings They started to cross the
Yukon range of mountains to the Pa
cific coast. After journeying for some
twelve days they found that instead of
being, as they supposed, on Mcleod
river, they were on what afterward
turned out to be the Nation. Here the
guides admitted they were lost, and
nothing remained for the party to do
but retrace their steps, which they did
with but enough provisions for few
days. In two days they were out of
food, and, to make a long story short,
they starved for fourteen days.
Mr.. Pike absolutely refuses to say
anything of their tortures during the
time, but many facts were cleaned
from those who saw them on their re-
turn to the rapids, and were compelled
to feed them as they would a baby.
As an example of the terrible state of
affairs, some hundreds of miles were
tramped with bare feet on ice, and
their frozen condition when rescued
was simply terrible, while some of the
party were so reduced from cold and
hunger as to be totally helpless.
When asked to describe the barren
lands Mr. Pike said that it was an i'm
mense tract of barren rock on which
grew q kind of moss and shrub, on which
deer that run by thousands feed and
appear to be very fond of it.
There are numerous lakes among
rocky bluffs whose waters freeze in the
cold season to the depth of from seven
to nine feet He reports temperatures
as low as 60 degs. in the winter, but the
summer months, July and August, he
says, are very hot. Six months during
the year the sun never shines on these
barren parts.
Mr.. Pike reports moose very scarce,
but says there are large numbers of
musk OK and thousands of caribou deer,
the latter taking to the woods in win
ter Mr. Pike is the only white man
who has ever trod the path of the
Franklin sufferers on the Fish river.
Travel during this trip was almost en-
tirely done on foot, dog trains being
used for the carrying of provisions and
wood. The currency is in skins. A
skin is valued at fifty cents.-Cor.

oueeN, pRoNE AND WORKER BEES.

The Three Kind TO he Found In Zach
CoIony-AII About the Mother tSo~.
The queen is the mother bee, and the
most important parsonage in the hive.
The oueen, as compared with other bees,
is long lived. It is not unusual for her
TO do good work for from three TO four
years. All depends upon her excellence
and vigor. Some queens cease to be use
full at the end Of one year, others at two
and so on. When they no longer lay
impregnated eggs-cease to be fertile
the workers rear n new queen and destroy
the old one.
1t is the queens mission 10 keep the
colony well populated-in a word, 20 lay
eggs. A good queen lays from 1000 to
5000 eggs per diem, or nearly double her
weight of eggs per day. Queens differ,
however, in the matter Of fecundity; the
good ones keep the hives populous with
active, profitable bees, while inferior
ones, although they may lay eggs for a
time. are never profitable. Those inn
perfectly developed bees are, according
to Root, the result of trying TO raise n
queen when there are too few bees. or
when the larvae with which they are OBJ
liged to rear queen are too old-that
is. too nearly ready to seal up. Pro-
fessor Cook says that this lack OF fecund-
ity may be due TO disease, improper do
velopment or to special race or strain.
The activity of the queen is governed
largely by the activity Of the workers.
According to Professor Cook, as the
worker bees feed the laying queen, IL is
more than probable that with no nectar
to gather the food is withheld, and so
the queen is unable to produce the eggs,
which demand n great amount Of nutri-
tious food all ready 10 be absorbed.
Queens begin to lay when about eight
to ten days old. as a rule. If a queen Is
not fortified in, say, fortnight from
the time she is Matched she will frequent
ly begin laying without being fertihzed
