ARCTIC HEROES.
The Fate OF Franklin and His Party of
Fellow Discovercrs.

1t was just after this time. says a
writer in the Cornhiil Margarine when
no one expected further tidings OF
Sir John Franklin and his party, that
Dr. Rae, who had simply gone out on
a geographical expedition to connect
Sir James Ross magnetic pole with
his own former discoveries to the
southwark of it, sent home the start
ling intelligence that he had met an
esquimaux who told him that large
party of white men had died of
starvation long distance to the
westward and beyond large river,
and this river, he thought, was
Backs Great Fish river. an idea
which afterward proved to be
correct.
The story told to DIR. Rae by the
Esquimaux was that. six winters be-
fore, some of his countrymen were
killing seals near the north end of
King William island. about forty
white men were seen dragging boat
ana sledges over the ice an the west
side OF the island. All the men. he
said, hauled the drag ropes except
one tall, stout, middle-aged officer
doubtless Captain Crozie0. And
further, he said, they We're evidently,
in want of provisions badly. and sig
nified by signs that they were going
where they expected to find deer to
shoot Later on in the same season
the corpses of thirty persons and
some graves were discovered on the
continent of America, and five dead
bodies on an island near 1t.
These, without doubt, were the
last survivors of the Franklin expe-
dition. Some of the bodies were in
tent, others under "a boat, which
had been turned keel up so as to
form q shelter, and some were scat
tered about in different directions.
DR.. Rae on this expedition succeeded
in purchasing from the Esquimaux
various articles, especially silver
spoons and forks. which had belonged
to different officers OF Franklin's
ships and which had their initials or
crests engraved upon them. Upon
his return the sum of f10.O)O was
paid to him and his party as the re-
ward offered to anyone who would
obtain authentic information OF the
fate of the Franklin expedition.

POPULISTS DOING BUSINESS,

Court.

Will Pay NO Attention TO the Supreme
Court.
TOPEKA, Kan. Feb. 23.-Late last nioht
the populist majority of the senate put
through a resolution declaring that the
supreme court had no jurisdiction in the
house muddle. as the house. under the con-
stitution, is the judge of the qualification
OF Its own members. This action is be-
lieved to foreshadow the intention of the
populists to ignore the courts decision if
adverse to the populists.
The populist house passed a resolution
setting forth that the capitol of the state is
now located too near the eastern border of
the state. to the detrimcnS of western
counties, which have been disfranohised by
republican rule; that the conduct of the
people of Topeka during the la1e unpleas-
antness was in defiance of the wishes Of the
people Of the state; that the city of Kanop-
oils offers to duplicate the present state
house without cost to the people and
declaring that as soon as praotlca Bile the
capital should be moved to that citv.
Ihe maximum freight rate bill was
passed by the populist house unanimously
this morning. 1t outs present rates 25 to 35
per cent, divides the state into three dis
tricts. each governed by three commission
ers elected from their respective districts
by vote of the people of the whole state.
Tho hearing in the habeas corpus case
was completed to- day. The court took Il
under advisement ard will probably render
q decision Saturday.

highest euloRy. and in closing the speaker
said that it was fitting to lay wreath
which was plucked from the heart of the
people upon the grave of James G. Blaine
on the anniversary of him who was irst in
war, first in peace and first in the hearts of
his countrymen. The choir sang again and
the benediction WAS pronounced.

Railroads.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 23-The Panama.Pa-

day, and the Pacific Mail end was taken
up. Leeds. formerly traffic manager of the
Gould roads, now representative of the
Merchants Traffic association. of Califor-
MIA. which proposed to put on line of
steamers in opposition to the Pacific Mail.
testified that there had been compact be-
tween the transcontinental railroads and
Pacific Mail. The railroads paid the Pa
cific mail a subsidy and reserved the right
to cav what classes of freights steamships
should carry. and fixed rntes to be charged.
The management of the Pacific Mail was
absolutely in the hands of the trausconti-
mental association rs far as rates and bust
ness were concerned. His recollection was
that the only right the steamship company
reserved was that it should deal directly with
the public after rates were fixed. The
effect of the agreement was to keep
up freight rates on slow go
ing merchandise around Cape Horn
by clipper ships. 1t was to some extent
true that merchants in the interior were
compelled to 500 their freight 20 clear
through to the coast from the east, paying
the through rate. then have it shipped back
to them at n high local rate. instead of hay
ing freight delivered on through trains
Witness did not think the Panama rail
road ought to he made free to all. and all
agreements stopped. lie would not recon-
mend to his company to go into the scheme
at all without Panama railroad agree
ment. The object of the transcontinental
association had been to destroy competi-
ton between the seaboards IN order that
the railroads might chrage higher rates. In
pursuance Of this policy the association
paid the Pacific Mail company $75, 900
month III consideration of the steamship
company allowing the railroads to fx
freight ratss. and the Pacific Mail paid the
Panama railroad $55, 600 a month for ex-
elusive transportation rights over the rail
road.

TAKING A SILVER POLL,
Trying to Got the Views Of Democrats of
the Next House


CHICAGO, Feb. GA PHILADELPHIA special
gives the text of confidential circular
issued on the 18th inst. by the national
democratic committee and sent to the
democratic committeeman of all states,
asking them to make inquiry and report
how the newly elected democrats who will
be in the next congress will vote on a
measure to repeal the Sherman silver pur-
chase act. 1t says: "An analysis of the
vote on the Andrew-C Cate bill to repeal the
sherman act shows that there arc fourteen
democratic members of the ore resent congress
who have been reelected and who did
not vote Feb. 8. 1893 on order
ing the previous question, and
that there are seventy-siX newly
elected democratic members, thus making
ninety democrats who will sit in the house
of representatives, of the next congress who
never voted upon measure looking to the
repeal of the Sherman act. 1t is important
to know what the probable attitude of
those ninety democratic members will be
toward similar measure when offered in
the next congress"

BUTTE. Feb. 23.-Ths Mary Pushman
murder trial was resumed this morning in
the district court. Several nurses testified
us to Mrs. Pushman's unnatural and iend
ish treatment Of her infant child. One
nurse stated that she found three pins that
had passed from the child and pulled an
other from its body. Another nurse testi-
fled that Mrs. Pushmnn always referred to
the child as the Damned Dutch thing"
and frequently EXPRESSED wish that it
would die. At one time when the babe was
only eleven weeks old she gave it violent
slap on the head because IL cried, and de-
clared that she did not want it about her
She would take it ont while it was sick, on
cold nights and thinlv Glad, and said if
her husband didn't like it he might take
the thing" to the mill and care for it HIM
self
When the child was found dead it was
lying on two chairs, covered only with a
piece OF shawl and thin table cover while
the temperature of tho room was below
bottle in its mouth, but no trace of food in
its little body. The doctors who held the
post mortem examination were recalled
and testified that both of the ohild's arms
had been broken no longer than two or
three days before its death.
Tho state rested its case this afternoon
and counsel for the defense made his state
ment to the jury. He said they woald in
troduce testimony to prove both puerperal
and homicidal insanity. He said that when
the defendant was child at her parents
homo in the county Cork, Ireland, she fell
into we'll. head down, where she remained
until working man passed by and, seeing
her legs protrude from the we'll. rescued
her. Since that time she has had some
thing wrong with her head and frequently
complained of severe pains. She also sees
ghosts, talks to the dead. and is afraid of
dead men.
The testimony for the defense will begin
tomorrow morning. During the recital
of the woman's horrible cruelty to her
child she sat unmoved and even smiled at
the jury several times. The court room
was crowded with women. many Of whom
could not suppress exclamations Of horror
as the evidence was brought out.
