dag of the United States with the remark that
it had been placed in the hands of the society
by lady of Washington. Miss Ulrica Dahlgren,
to be given to the explorer, with the re-
quest that when he sets foot upon the farth-
est north he plant there the banner Of
his country and then return it to the
society. The adventurous man was visibly
moved by the incident. He said that it was
with mingled pleasure and hesitancy that he
accepted the flag; pleasure at the honor be-
slowed and hesitancy when he thought Of those
who have preceded him to the north and
how far short his own efforts may
fall. He would say, however, that il
it be possible for one who feels confident of the
track which he has laid out for himself to
reach the northern limit of Greenland those
colors would be the first to float over that long
lost point and to light the desolation there o.
snow and ice.
He then had the lights Of the theater turned
down and for fifteen or twenty minutes enter.

that were thrown upon the screen, illustrativ,
of the frozen land and of the peoples ant

The Strikers Fired First.
During the afternoon large number of
witnesses gave evidence concerning the
raid. The evidence showed conclusively
that the raid was Systematically planned
and carried out by a mob OF between 400
and 800 strikers; that the strikers acted on
the offensive throughout, and that Capt
Loar and his deputies only carried out
the instructions of Sheriff Clawson
when they fired upon the mob, who were
in the act of destroying the coke COM

their fire until after the strikers had sent
volley at the deputies, the latter firing
