Grants a Respite.
 CHIcAGo, July 10.-Unless the gov ernor is appealed to and grants re- spite, Patrick Eugene Prendergast will hang next Friday between the hours of and 12 a. m. The last legal resource, the supreme court of this state, has been appealed to for a stay. Judge Bailey, late this afternoon, af- ter twenty-four hours of mature delib- eration, declined to grant the writ of error or issue a supersedeas. He found no substantial error in the records, and so told Messrs. Darrow. Harlan and Gregory, the assassin's attorneys. who met the judge in chambers. The at torneys would not state whether they would appeal to the governor or not, but in the light of their past hard fight for their client it is believed that such action will be taken.

Con- kel's bakery and the Gazette office, all being totally destroyed.
 There being no means of fighting the fire, it quit only when it had burned itself out.
 The heaviest loser is the Gazette. all their machinery being destroyed. The loss is estimated at near $50, 900, with about two-thirds insurance.

PRACTICALLY ENDED.
The Railroad Strike a Thing of the Past
 at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, O.. July 10.-As far as Cleveland is concerned the great rail- road strike is practically over. To morrow morning will probably see every yard fully manned and trains running as usual. The chairmen of local lodges of railway trainmen and hremen were in consultation with supt. Higgins, of the Big Four, this afternoon and utterly repudiate the strike They assured Mir. Higgins that the men had no grievance and were ready to return to work at once. They will go to work in the morning
 The situation of affairs is about the same in the other yards. The only strikers who are not ready to go back to work are the switchmen, and there are signs of weakening in their ranks.

location, but there is no great CONNER
cial motive at all, whereas the early
voyagers within the northern circle of
frost all went seeking for that elusive
northwest water passage across North
America, through which ships. once it
were discovered, would be able, It was
thought, to sail from European 60 Asiat-
10 coasts. to the great saving Of time and
money.
Luke Fox and Thomas James were
among the first searchers for the pas
sage. They accomplished nothing, Of
course. and little was done for nearly or
quite 900 years after their failure. In
f748 there were feeble efforts at explora-
tion OF the territory adjacent to Hud-
son bay, and in 1853 o schooner of
about so tons was fitted ont In Philadel-
phia, principally through the efforts Of
Benjamin Franklin, for the purpose of
finding what others had failed to locate.
The expedition accomplished nothing.
Twenty-Five years later, Id 1915,
James Cook, the famous Captain Cook,
made o northern venture, his ships be-
ing the Resolution and the Discovery.
The latter vessel was commanded by
Captain Charles Clarke. They approach
ed the arctic problem via Berirg
strait but as they entered the polar sea
late in the season soon retraced their
course for fear Of being frozen In. Il
was but q few months later that Cook
was murdered at the Sandwich IslandR
For about 20 years after Cooks attempt
little or nothing more was done Id the
way Of northern exploration. Then, In
1913. the secretary Of the British nd
miralty, Mr.. lafterward Sir) John Bar
row, succeeded In persuading the British
government TO ft out 81 expedition uf
two shipa. They were the Isabella, conn
manded by Captain John Ross, and the
Alexander, commanded by Lieutenant
w. e. Parry. The party numbered %
men all told, and high hopes were en-
tertained for it's success. After am alb
sence of but seven months the two ships
returned, having accomplished rather
less than nothing in the way OF explOra-
ton, though Captain Ross had been dill
gent and faithful in the taking Od o.
Economical and other observations.
The next year Lieutenant Parry went
north with two ships. the Hecla and the

TOWING THROUGH THE ICE. 1900.
Wrom Gerrit de yeerts "vraye Description y
None OF them, nor Of any OF two or
three overland parties, succeeded In
finding any traces Of the missing Sir
John or his men.
In 1850 ten vessels In seven expedi-
tions went In further search, but there
10 mot space at command to speak I'm de-
tail OF the men who commanded them,
the ships they sailed q the h~ardships
they suffered. The latter were many
and trying. and more than one of the
vessels and many human lives were lost.
One Of the parties, headed by Captain
Robert T. Mcclure. who went from the
Pacific, pushed far enough east 30 con-
meet his discoveries with those Of Parry
made 30 years before. Thus the passage
was found at last, but IL was an empty
discovery, after all, for IL Ii closed so
much OF the time every year land often
all the year round) by Ice as TO be mn
available commercially. In fact, Nc
Clure himself had to abandon his ship,
the Investigator, and escape with his
men as best he could.
Some Of these expeditions found traces
OF Franklin, and several of them made
important additions 10 the maps Of the
arctic regions, but it was not till 1859
that the fate of the brave old English
man and his men was fully determined.
The expedition that succeeded In per-
forming this service was headed by Cap
tain r. T. McClintoch, who sailed ON
the steam yacht Fox The expense Of
this expedition was borne partly by the
British government and partly by Lady
Franklin. Several boats and the skele-
tons Of q number Of the men were dis
covered, and Eskimos who saw them
when alive were talked with, Accord
ing { the testimony of the latter, tho
poor fellows fell in their tracks as they
were walking over the SNOW andic and
died. a. complete written history OF
their adventures and hardships 20 April
26, 1S48, was also found. Franklin him
self died June II, I847. but when the
history was written there were still 100
survivors
No mention has been made here Of
the heroic and valuable arctic work
done BY GrinneIl and Kane, Americans,
and scores OF Englislmen during the
years that were devoted TO the search
for Franklin, nor liz there space for more
than this brief allusion. Since then Dr.
Hayes, De Long. Greedy and later

even worse. In 1925 he returned I'd Eng
land, carrying with him many new
charts OF the frozen regions visited and
much novel information, but without
having found the passage.
During Parry's absence on his third
voyage Captain ~(afterward Sir1 John
Franklin had made an overland journey
from the west to Point Turnagain. and
Captain George r. Lyon, who had been
with Parry ON his second voyage. was
sent with the Griper to meet Franklin,
the route lying through Hudson bay.
This venture wa q complete failure.
The passage was not found, and, worse
yet, little or no exploration was accom-
plished either. This was largely because
Lyons party got so near the magnetic
pole that their compasses were rendered
useless Beechey's voyage Of three
years, begun i'm 1895, added little to the
knowledge already possessed Of the Arc
tic. In fact. Beechey, who went north
via the Pacific, devoted far more time
TO the islands of that vast ocean than TO
northern exploration.
In 1897 Sir John Ross, who was
greatly interested In the inscrutable
problem, induced MIR. Felix Booth, one
Of the sheriffs OF London. 10 contribute
to the Quitting OF an expedition which
should be sent north without govern
ment aid or supervision. This expedi-
tion sailed In q steamer OF 80 toms, the
Victory, on May rs, 1899, and Its mem
bers did not return TO England again
until 1888, having abandoned their
steamer in 1882 after suffering severe
hardships. They were picked mp near
the western shore of Bafin's bay by q
whaleship No progress so far as to the
discovery Of the northwest passage was
made. but the true position of the mag
netic pole was found, and that was Of
great scientific Importance.
In 1S45 the Sir John Franklin ex-
petition. 129 strong, and with two
ships, the Terror and the Erebus, was
sent north. Sir John was then In his
SEVENTEEN year, but he did not shrink In
the slightest from his mission. he had
two excellent officers under him, Com
mander James F~itzjames, in charge Of
the Erebus and Captain +. r. M.
Crozier. in charge Of the Terror, while
the Quitting and provisioning Of the
expedition was for an absence of three
years, and in every way greatly su-
perior 10 the Quitting and provisioning
OF any previous northern party. Not
withstanding all this, NO member of Sir
John Franklin's party was ever seen
alive after their departure. In 1S47 the
anxiety felt by the entire civilized
world for their safety became so great
that 1t was decided to send relief expe-
ditions after them, and In l848 three
such search parties started out. Sir
James Clarke Ross had charge Of one Of
these, Sir John Richardson Of another
and Captain Henry Skel1ett Of the third.
