OFF FOR GREENLAND
The Peary Expedition to Start
From Philadelphia About
July 1.
and the Northwest Repre-.
sented by James w. Davidson,
of this City.
A Field of Daring Exploits and of
Years of Adventure.

Our citizens have become greatly in
terested in the Peary expedition to
explore the Arctic regions, not simply
because of the fascinating lecture
which the brave lieutenant gave here
last winter but especially because one
of our own young men is selected as a
member of the expedition. the only
representative from the west, to go.
James w. Davidson, younger son Of
President G. H. Davidson, of the Aus
tin National Bank, was chosen several
months ago out of 500 applicants as
especially fitted physically and other
wise to withstand the dangers and
hardships of the Greenland trip. We
are sure that all our readers will wish
to know the details of the trip and
what it involves.
Young Davidson. is an Austin boy.
born and reared here, and is now 2l
years OF age He was educated in
our public schools until about II years
old. when he entered the North
western Military Academy at High
land Park, Ills, where he graduated
in 1891 with honor, with a second
lieutenant's commission. He then
commenced to travel for Major Pond
for two years. He did advance work
for Sir Edwin Arnold, Max O'ReiI,

Bloody Conflict In Berne Between
Swiss Workmen and the Police.
BERNE, June 2O.-About 80 Swiss
workingmen attacked gang of 1tal-
ians who had been imported to work in
the streets. The police arrested IS Of
the attacking party and locked them
up. In tho evening turbulent crowd
gathered in a street near the Jail.
When the police attempted to disperse
them the men made rush for the jail
to release tke prisoners. The police
fired upon the rioters but were unable
to drive them back until IA had been
killed and 40 wounded. Later 1000
men were gathered to attack the jail.
A detachment of artillery was brought
up to drive them back and is now sta
toned in front of the Jail.

sufficient to nourish man for tWen-
ty-four hours. This pemmican food,
the staple diet, is dry pounded meat
pressed with currants, sugar and
grease. On this trip he will try a
novel experiment in Arctic explora-
tion. 1t is well known that pack
horses have been successfully used in
Alaska, and that ponies shod with
rough snow shoes are used in portions
OF Norway. Peary proposes to take
with him for temporary use a num-
Der OF donkeys or burros for the pur-
pose OF relieving his mems work.
If the experiment succeeds, the ex-
plorer believes that his progress will
be considerably facilitated. He thinks
there is fair prospect that the dom
keys or burros may be made verv use-
tul in hauling the supplies up the
forty miles of rough cliffs to the level
OF the ice cap, about 5000 feet above
the sea level. This work was done by
the men before.
Ii the season permit, Lieut.. Pearv
will start his sledges north very early
next March for the north end of
Greenland. Only four or five men
will accompany him. He hopes to be
on the ice cap on his way north eight
or ten weeks earlier than last year. He,
mas laid out a big seasons work and
needs all the time he can get. The
route to north Greenland will
probably be mean one between his
previous upward and return routes.

vases in the ice basins which ca,1se

1ully measured. The sail is used

The purpose of the coming expedi-
tion is to determine the extent and
nature of the northern archipelago
which Peafy has found to lie north Of
the mainland; also to survey the
wholly unknown coast between Inde-
~pendence Bay and Cape Bismark the
Mower County transcript., 1893-06-21

out with one or two comrades into the
unknown, north of The highest point
ne reached last summer. He will at
tempt to haul his sledges around the ar
chlpelago; starting along it's eastern
shores and working to the north, west
and south until he reaches the point
on the western coast attained by the
Greely expedition.
Lieut.. Peary has no opinion or theo-
ry as to the extension of this archipe-
lago toward the pole. This is one Of
the questions he is going to find out.
Neither does he know what conditions
OF travel he will encounter. 1t is
probable that he will be compelled to
depend upon sledging through the
channels between the islands, and if
the ice conditions in these channels
are not favorable for his work, the
task before him will be formidable.
and he will certainly be compelled to
remain on the shores of the Arctic
Ocean through the winter and endeav-
or to carry out his plans of exploration
during the following season. In that
case he will spend the winter further
north than white men ever lived be-
fore. If this is necessary, he and his
one or two comrades will build houses
OF stone and snow, such as the Esoui-
meaux erect. There is little danger
OF suffering excessively from cold in
these structures with good supply Of
alcohol for fuel. He is certain that
he can depend upon securing musk
oxen along the Arctic shore to supple
ment his food supply. He will also be
likely to add some Arctic hares and
seals to his larder, but his chief de-
pendence for fresh food will be musk
oxen.
What he hopes to do is completely
to map this archipelago just as the
great mass of islands north Of our
continent was mapped by the expedi-
tions of the Franklin search.
It's the belief of many whose opin-

ions are WORTHY respect that the
North Pole ps. "a is more likely to
be solved lis Peary expedition
than any project of exploration
now pr<sl. The explorer has very
little ~ of this possible extension
of ork. If, however, the foe ice
norbss,sof the farthest land he reaches
offers fair sleighing conditions, it is
entirely probable that he will leave
his land base for journey across the
sea ice toward or to the pole, and we
may possibly hear from Peary in the
fall of 1895 that he has visited the
neighborhood of the mysterious north
ern apex of the world which has thus
far baffled the curiosity and energy of
every explorer who has attempted it..
But if he attains the pole it will be
only one of the incidents of his work
and not it's main purpose. If he re-
turns without having reached the
pole itself, but having accomplished
the other plans he desires to carry out,
his expedition will be brilliantly sue
cessful. Possibly some great scien-
tific discovery may be made. What is
known after all about the flattening
of the earth at the poles? What of
the magnetic conditions which prevail
there? There may be forms of life
found hitherto undiscovered. Who
can tell?
1t is possible that we may not hear
from Lieut.. Peary and party until the
fall of 1885, when he hopes to make
arrangements to have vessel sent to
bring his party home again. The
cost of the expedition will be about
$4,000.
What long and venturesome trip
it is to be, with all it's dread possibili-
ties, it's months of dreary darkness
amid the loneliness Of Arctic SHOWS,
its exposure to cold and privations and
starvation. All honor to those who
are members of this expedition
through whose fortitude and dis
coVerles we nope to add to our knOWl-
edge of the polar regions. May kind
Providence watch over every one of
the courageous little band, and bring
them back safely to this land of sun
shine and home and friends.
Lieut.. Davidson has everything
packed and is hourly awaiting a te1e-
gram to start for Philadelphia. He
will be permitted to remain with rel
atives here as late as possible. He
| will beEdetailed for surveying and
other important work in the expedi-
tion. Our readers are' promised the
very latest news-.of all histmovements.
If he returns safely from his trip, he
can tell experiences that probably no
human being has before encountered.
We shall watch for all information of
the Peary expedition with'.unabating
interest.

Kite, the staunch vessel which carried
the former expedition to the far north,
will form a part of her complement.
Those who know Capt. Bartlett say
that he will be worthy successor to
bluff and jovial old Captain Pike, who
piloted the former Peary and other
expeditions to the north of Greenland.
Captain Pike died few weeks ago at
his home in St. Johns.
The Falcon will land the party as
far north in Whale Sound as the ice

taken as the rifle will be one of the
main instruments in procuring food.
Peary's plan for Arctic exploration
is in contrast with those of other
great explorers. Instead of trying to
push on toward the North Pole by
water, with constant exposure to be-
ing crushed in the ice, he has always
believed that the best and most feast
bic plan of approaching the North
Pole is to advance on land and not on
water. Land will not break up and
float away, contains some form of

ice cap, thus saving two weeks of
hard work.
AS soon as the ice is in condition for
fall sledging Lieut.. Peary will set
three enterprises on foot. He expects
to survey in minute detail Inglefeld
Gulf, on whose shores he is to winter.
He will also send a party out on the
inland ice for the purpose of carrying
lot of supplies as far to the north
east as they can: travel and establish
a big cache before the winter night
puts an end to field work. This will
