ALPINE CLIMBING IN MAINE.
Sliding Down the Ice Covered Side of
Mount Katahdin.

BANGOR, April 4.-On Thursday,
March 80, Edward Blatchford of Chica-
go, with A. S. Spering of Passadumkeag,
as guide, left McLeod's camp on the
WassetaqYit stream to make the ascent
of Mount Katahdin.
The men left the camp about o'clock
in the morning, intending to make their
way along the northern side, cross the
ridge overhanging the basin, and thus
reach the summit, and when within a
mile of the top snowshoes were put aside
and with the lunch were left in con-
venient place, the men intending to make
the top and return before dinner time.
The highest part was reached without
accident, and the two were about to set
out when without warning a thick mist
settled down bringing with it a furious
blizzard.
The cold was intense, and the terrible
violence of the wind formed most ct
fectual barrier against return by the
northern path, over which they had
come. It was desperate situation. 10
remain where they were was certain
death. To regain the snOwshoes and
lunches was impossible. The only
chance for the unfortunate tourist and
his guide was to reach the timber below
by most hazardous descent.
There are but two paths by which a
descent from the mountain is possible.
Add to the natural difficulties a bowling,
binding blizzard, and mist through
which objects more than a few feet
away are invisible you have the situa-
ton. The mountain was as slippery as
glass, and to get a foothold was impossi-
sible. The only thing to do was to slide.
This they did. Throwing themselves
at full length they flew down the pre-
cipitous side, suffering terrible bruises,
and not knowing whether the next m o.
ment would land them in tthe coveted
shelter or eternity. At one time the
men were brought to a violent stop only
to find that few yards more and they
would have been hurled 2000 feet into
the basin beneath. Still their only
chance was to reach the Wassetaquoit
Valley. Once more they hazarded the
slide, and this time a lucky chance
brought them upon ridge near the belt
of the timber, Is miles from their camp
which they reached after many hard
ships.

Republicans Carried the Day in Kansas
and the Women Helped.
TOPEKA, Kan, April 4.-Elections
were held in all the second and third
class towns in Kansas yesterday for may
or. councilmen and membersof the school
board. In nearly all the towns straight
Republican tickets were nominated, and
in nearly every instance the Democrats
and Populists combined against them.
In number of towns Law and Order
tickets were nominated by the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, the intention be-
ing to rebuke the Populists for their acts
last winter. Reports received from the
various towns are meagre, but the most
of them show the election of the Repub-
lican tickets. The women have general
ly voted, and against the Populists
wherever they had ticket.

Boston, April AT the Seventh Con-
gressional district Republican convention
in Charlestown this afternoon, the chair
named committee on crenentials, one
of whom was George N. Swallow of
Charlestown. His appointment called
out protest from Mayor Hayes on the
ground that the legality of the caucus in
Ward A, Charlestown, was questioned.
No Charlestown man, he said, should be
member of the committee to decide
the contest. The convention voted to
allow Swallows name to remain uponthe
committee.
A petition was received from Mr..
Hayes in regard to the Ward caucus, it
being claimed that it was Illegal because,
in open violation of the Australian ballot
law, voters were given a sticker, upon
which were printed the names of all del
egates favorable to Mr.. Barrett against
the name of each of whom a cross was
previously made, leaving the voter moth
ing to do but attach the sticker to the
ballot and thus evade the law which re-
quires each voter to go into the polling
booth and mark his own ballot. This
petition was referred to the committee
on credentials, which reported the
charges not proven, and the delegates
from Ward entitled to their seats. A
hot debate followed resulting in the ad-
mission of the delegates and sustaining
the ruling of the chair. The Hayes del
egation, with one exception, then with
dIew and the convention proceeded to
ballot. The result was:
Whole nun of votes. .............5 .58
VIM. E. Barrett had..... ...57
E. B. Hayes
Mr.. Barrett was thereupon declared
the choice of the convention amid great
enthusiasm. The Hayes delegates, who
withdrew from the original convention,
met in the lower hall and organized.
Hon. E. B. Hayes of Lynn was declared
the nominee of the convention by accla-
nation, after which the convention ad.
journed.
