AN AMBITIOUS ENGINEER.
Lieutenant Peary Of The Navy Fitting Out
an Arctic Expedition.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-There is to be an
other Arctic expedition. 1t will be led by
an officer of the navy, although not under
the patronage of the Government. Civil
Engineer Peary will undertake the task OF
going as far north rs possible. He has Sc
lected few men who are to accompany him
on the expedition. Their names have not
yet been disclosed.
The expense of the journey will be de-
frayed by the geographical and scientific So
cietleS which have been interested in Eugi-
neer Peary's scheme. The officer has asked
the Navy De partment for leave of absence
for year and a half. He believes he can
reach point farther north than that at
tanned by Lockwood of the Greedy eXpedi-
ton. He proposes to go through Greenland.
The party will leave here in May, going TO
Whale Sound on the western coast of Green
land, and for this purpose a whaler will be
used. From Whale Sound the party will
strike out in northwesterly direction across
Greenland, utilizing sledges in travel and
transportation.
Peary believes that progress by this means
will be practically unmolested. The party
will at least avoid the dangers OF the Arc
tic seas. with floating ice fields and bergs.
the extreme northern limit of the Greenland
coast. If the sea is frozen he Will continue
his sledge journey toward the pole. Peary
expects to return to Whale Sound by the
end of The whaling season OF 1892, iE time
to meet whaler on which the party can
return to the United States.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27. - Lieutenant
Peary, who proposes to make the polar ex-
ploration, says in regard to it: 81 shall
travel on foot, walking at night and sleep
ing in the day My associates are not
picked out but they will be selected with
great care. l prefer going on my own ae-
count because under Government direction
Cungress generally requires too many re-
strictions. Whether Greenland is an island
or vast continent will be one of the things
hope to discover"

New YORK, Feb. 27.-Erastus Wiman
has received more than 100 replies from
members of Congress who were asked if
they would vote for the Hit resolution.
Wiman says a majority of both the Senate
and House will lie secured in favor of unre-
stricted reciprocity between the United
States and Canada.
In g letter to Ersstus Wiman Senator
Sherman says: "My Dear Wiman-I have
advised you that Oh account of the crowded
state OF public business it will not be possi-
bic to secure any action upon tn e
pending resolution in favor of recip-
rocity between the United States and
Canada. There is also a feeling in both
Houses that any action on the part Of
Congress, in view of the pending cleo
tion in Canad1, might be misnnder-
stood as an effort to interfere with or
influence the action about to be
taken in that country. My opinion Is
now, as it has been for many years, that it
IS 10 tue manifest interest OF the people of
both countries 10 enter into cordial com

OF the productions OF each, in
Guiding articles of manufacture as well
as agriculture and mines. Such a policy
must be the result of free and friendly negO-
tiations. Even the appearance of desire
misunderstood in Canada. All that he
friends of reciprocity can probably do is to
express the Willingness of the people Of the
United States to enter into such engagement
when the people of Canada are also willing"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The scenes in
'he House to-day have not been equaed
since the discussion of the Elections Bill and
Inc Mckinley tariff bill. Long before 10
CLOCK this morning the galleries of the
house were packed with an eager throng of
men, women and children. There was
standlng-ro only, and the Capitol police
men were kept busy managing the crowd.
Ali of the California delegation were in
their seats. Congressman-elect Cutting of
San Francisco occupied the seat next to
Morrow, and was an attentive listener to
the proceedings.
Inc press galleries were packed with cor
respondents, who filed bulletins as fast as
the rolIcalls were completed. Altogether
IL was an animated scene, and the excite
ment at times ran high. AS one party
gained advantage over the other the House
chamber reSounded with cheers.
when tho first test vote was announced
II being on motion to pass the Shipping
Bill to its third reading-the excitement
was intense, and there was a clapping of
hands by one side and then the other as
doubtful votes were cast for or against.
1t was thought by all that this vote would
determine the fate of the bill. Biggs voted
right along with the Republican side. while
Clunie and Geary voted with their party.
The motion to pass the bill to its third
reading was defeated by four votes, not in
cluding Dingley. who voted with the Demo-
crats IN order TO reconsider.
IL Clunie and Geary had voted with the
Republicans there would have been tie
and the Speakers vote would have passed
the Shipping Bill, but the Californians pro-
tested that the principle of the bill was all
wrong and that AS Democrats they could
not vote for subsidy of this kind.

Stewart Wants Revenge on the Democrats sOr
Their Perfdy. ~
WAsHINGToN, Feb. Ex-senator Stewart
has at last discovered the fact that he mas
been badly handled by the Democrats In
speaking of the matter he says ''we," mean
ing the Republican Senators who joined the
Democrats and defeated the Election Bill.
''were taken in," and that it was a scheme
to use them as catspaws, and not live UP to
the contract and pass the Silver Bill. In the
Senate cloak-room to-day, on the Republi-
can side, lie furnished considerable amuse-
ment for the Senators who had long since
avoided making deals with the Democrats
Stewart says he Is convinced that the
Democratic leader, German, with whom he
dlckered, played him for Il sucker" He
thinks German was advsedsthat the Cleve-
land letter was to be sprung on the Silver
Bill when it reached the House, after the
Republican sucker" Senators had served
as tools for the Democrats in killing the
Election Bill. He has his war-parnt on,
and threatens to again join the Republican
party. and if he can get forgiveness will
never 60 off on another tangent.
The Republican Senators are very much
amused and are inclined to give the rampant
Senator very little consolation. They tell
him lie Is simply making this play so he can
go back to his handful of constituents. and
insist that while in time of need he was
not ttue to his party, he is nevertheless
true-blue Republican.
Stewart insists on bringing up the Elec-
tons Bill and passing it the last day of
Congress, and if need be at the last hour.
He Is Republican Tor vengeance only. He
insures his brother Senators that the sup
port of the other duped Senators can be
counted upon, and is urging that the bill be
again taken up, 1t is really thought the
friends Of the Elections Bill will take ad-
vantage of the situation, and pass it, if
the approximation bills can b. got rid of.

The Criminals Youngest Brother Dies, and
The Balance of Her Relatives Have
Narrow Escape From Death.


BOSTON. Feb. pa modern Lucretia
Borgia has been discovered here. In the
suburban town of Revere lives the family
of Arthur le Count well-to-do merchant.
He has with him his wife, three girls. the
oldest being Pearl, aged 10 years, and the
baby son, Arthur, aged years.
Last Tuesday night after partaking of q
very light supper, at which, as was usual
with the family, much milk was consumed,
all except the eldest girl, Pearl, were taken
violently sick with cramps and commissions.
Physicians were hurredly summoned and
pronounced the case one of arsenical poison
ing. The victims were soon unconscious,
and inside of two hours the little boy was
dead.
1t took two days for the others to be out
of danger. The affair was great puzzle to
the police. The only clew they had was
that the eldest daughter. who was inclined
to be fast was not on the best of terms with
her parents, and she was the only one who
escaped the symptoms.
After three days of hard work, the police
discovered that under an assumed name she
has been purchasing considerable arsenic
from drugstore in a neighboring town,
saying she was married and her husband
was taxidermist. She also superinte nded
the supper Tuesday evening.
She was arrested tonight on this and
other evidence, and preserves a most indif-
ferent demeanor

THE CHINESE MISSION.
Senator Blair Of New Hampshire NOmi-
lated TO Succeed DENLY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The President
this morning nominated Henry w. Blair
of New Hampshire Minister to China, vice
DENLY of Indiana.
Senator Blair was seen by the California
Associated Press representative and asked
IL his appointment was surprise to him.
lie replied: Last Monday | received a
note from the President asking me to call
at the White House. l responded to his re-
quest, and during an interview he asked me
if would like to go to China as Minister of
the United States. You can well imagine
my surprise. l asked the President to give
ME several days to think the matter over
and would give him an answer. 1 was
therefore somewhat surprised this morning
TO hear that my name had been sent in. |
have always been used TO living among NV
own countrymen, and | don't know whether
should like to live among foreign people
so many miles from home. Mrs Blair is
not IN Washington aud knows nothing about
the proposition to send me 10 China. Of
course she should be consulted in matter
OF this kind. Besides this. | don't know
what action tue Senate would take. l might
not be confirmed. So altogether, you see, it
IS too early to say whether | Will accept
the appointment or not"
The correspondent suggested that the
trans-Pacitic cable would make the Flowerv
Kingdom srem not so far away from home,
and Senator Blair said: Yes, that is so,
and II L should accept the appointment |
nope by ali means that we shall soon have
cable connecting these two great coun-
tries"
Senator Blair was asked if he would 90 to
China via San Francisco. aud if he would
stop there day or two. He said that if he
decided to accept the appointment he pre-
sumed that San Francisco would be the
proper route to take, and he would no doubt
stop Tor few days in that wonderful city,
though II was too early to discuss these
matters. He would first decide whether to
accept the appointment, and would consider
the details OF the trip to China, ETC., after
ward.
1t is learned that Senator Blair fears some
opposition from the Democratic Senators,
who Will object to the deposition :. of
DENLY, an Indiana Democrat, the incum-
pent. DENLY was appointed to hold office
during the pleasure of the President, and
therecau ba no question but that the latter
can depose him whenever he sees fit to do so.
1t IS understood that President Harrison and
Minister DENLY are warm personal friends,
and the President entertains high regard for
Denby's abilities, but having suffered DENLY
to remain IN Office two years under a Re-
publican Administration he feels that
change should now be made and some good,
loyal and able Republican should be re-
Warded. Taking these facts into considera-
tiOn there should not be, and probably will
not be, any opposition among the Democrats
TO Blairs confirmation, If he decides to ac-
cept the appointment.
Inc Senate haS confirmed the nomination
