that intention to be unlawful. they become

An Arctic Trade Route.

For twenty years sturdy British sea
Captain named WIGGISs. in spite OF criti-
cisms and dscouragements. has urged the
availability OF the Kara Sea as ID trade route
to Siberia. In 1874. on the steamer Diana.
he made his first voyage around the
northern coast OF Norway. through tho
narrow Yugor Strait. aud across the Arctic
waters to the Yenissei River. Other navi-
gators followed him, and up 10 the past
season twenty-three successful trips have
been made from ports in Great Britain.
WIGGISs deserves the credit OF being the
only navigator who stuck to the work and
systematically studied all the aspects Of
navigating these northern waters. He has
finally solved the problem of crossing the
Kara Sea with merchant vessels every sum
mer. There have been some failures, but
all were due TO mistakes in navigation or to
vessels not well adapted for such seas Ex-
perience has demonstrated the important
fact that while iron steamers and sailing yes
sells. under favorable conditions. may ac-
cOmplish the feat, regular success can be
assured only by using wooden Arctic
steamers, so that even in very unfavorable
years a passage may DO forced.
There was great rejoicing in western
Siberia last fall. for the largest feet that
ever braved the Kara Sea made the voyage
successfully. Six vessels composed this i'm
portant expedition. and two OF them. after
reaching the Nenissei, assembled the river
for 1850 miles 10 the city Of Yenisselsk.
Three Of these vessels were owned and
manned by the Russian Government, aud
all were under the command Of Capt. Wig
GINS. One vessel was the Orestes, power
full steamer Of $500 tons burden. loaded
with rails for the Trans-Siberian Railroad.
Tho success of the Orestes in making the
round trip In one season has shown that the
trade need not be 1oniined. as hitherto. To
small vessels Of the Labrador class. and OF
merely 800 tons burden. hut that large mer-
chant steamers may safely engage in H.
Capt. WIGGINs has at last inspired conf
dence in this route. Last year. for the first
time, steam pleasure yacht was with the
neet. The vessel was specially strength
encd for Arctic navigation. and had two
ladies among her passengers. The voyage
10 the mouth of the Siberian river was I'M
impeded. aud part OF the rails and a lot OF
Rold-mining machinery were at once taken
up the river on two of the Russian vessels.
They had sailed from England under com
mand of Russian naval officers. and there
was great enthusiasm in the big Siberian
town as the people saw the, first Russian
fleet from the Atlantic Ocean. manned by
their eountrymen and flying the imperial
flag. safely anchored before their city.

was the lion Of the hour. These vessels

Tho kentucky Resolution About Mr..

Is to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death OF Justice BLATCHFoRD. and without

other than that which oil good Democrats
and good citizens possess in common. the

In the most emphatic way against the con-

They request the Kentucky Senators to
vote against the candidate Of Mr.. CLEvE-

path. 1t Is an extraordinary proceeding.
and it denotes an extraordinary state OF

deeply because they have not yet spoken,
regard it as plain political duty to pro-
tect the Democracy against the conse-

acts OF its chosen leader.

ident and his advisers have traded with
overconhdence upon the notion that. right

support in whatever he might choose to do.
Eleven months experience must have

make no complaint Of the weather. This is
easily accounted for. Firstly. the air though

denizens are accustomed to the cold thirdly.
they move about very nlmbly when in tho
OXEN: fourthly. they wear loads Of warm
clothes. such as fur robes. boas. hoods.
wooen wraps. Capuchin blanket coats.
heavy snoods. stockIngs over socks. flannel
tights. moccasins. and things around the

tions. the natives have skins that are not as
thin as tissue paper, and that serve the pur-

The snow there. too. Is dry and fiossy. so that
a person. or at least a Canadian. can walk
through 1t oil day long in his snowshoes with
