Bottled crab Is tho latest reward
OF patient fishing on the water front.
George Hiidcbrand. young fisher
man. hauled one up from the bottom
Of tho bay, and 1t is now IN the po'
session OF some scientific 'longshorc-
men. who are puzzled rs much over
1t Us they are about the phantom
ship Flying Dutchman. Tho fisher
man dropped his hoopnet OF the end
OF Meiggs' wharf. Tho tide carried
tho net down the bay as far as the
short rope would allow IL. and in
hauling it up it dragged along tho
bottom The reward OF the haul
was an ordinary pint flask. and the
disguised fisherman was about to
throw it back into the water when
something moving inside 1t caught
his eye. Mud had settled in the
bottle. and when 1t had been washe 4
out he found 1t contained u crab
about tho size OF an ordinary porker
chip. and when It's claws were
stretched out it reached across the
widest part OF the flask. Tho crab
had fattened and was apparently in n
healthy condition. n.--ChicaRo Time 5

Crushed In an leo Floc.-ne Proceeds on

Tromsoe, Norway, Aug. News of
the Wellman Polar expedition has
been received. 1t was brought by the
sealcr Malygen, Captain Pederseh,
which arrived at Tronsae to-day with
news dispatches froin tile expedition,
and also Captain Bottolfsen and three
sailors Of the steamer Ragnavald Jarl,
Which carried the Wellman party to
the Arctic, but which has since been
wrecked. Captain Bottolfsen furnish
ed the following narrative of the ex-
perInnces of the expeditions:
After several battles with ice, the
Regnavald Jarl arrived on May IL at
Table Island, one of the seven island
groups. The ice, however, compelled
II return to Walden island, where Mr..
Wellman left the ship on May "a with
thirteen men. forty dogs and ITO days
provisions. After the party had estab-
lished a depot they proceeded cast
ward Il distance Of sixty miles, thence
northeast, hoping to reach the land
that is believed to exist in that d.
rection.
Up to the day of the Departure 6f
the sledge party the, expedition had
had good weather, the worst being
only 20 degrees below zero.
The members of the party were In
good health when they left the ship.
They intended to return over the same
route by which they advanced.
On May %, four days after Wellman
and his companions left, the Ragra-
valid Jarl was broken up by the Ice and
totally lost, The men In charge of her
managed to save some of the stores.
A message was sent to Wellmen in
forming him OF the catastrophe and 1t
reached him at Martins island, Mr..
Wellman, Charles G, Bodge and two
others then returned to Walden island.
With material taken from the wreck
Of the ship, they built good house to
accommodate the crew as a precaution
in case the expedition were compelled
to winter at Walden. Wellman left
again to join the sledge party on May
81. He writes on the same date:
81 have decided to proceed as pre-
viously planned, except that intend
to return to Walden island not later
than September 1, and to be ut Danes
island by September 15."
A vessel will be sent to meet him.

The state Of Ohio is making expert
ments in the treatment of epilepsy
For more than year men and boys
afflicted with this disease have been
received and cared for. Nearly 200 are
now grouped in the various cottages at
Gallipolis. Several cases have been
sent out apparently cured and other
patients have made encouraging pro
gress. While the recoveries are no,
yet declared and will not be till the
patients have been out two years with
out experiencing return of the NAL
ady, enough has been ascertained to
afford hope that eventually remedies
will be found for disease that has

TRICKS OF CHINAMEN.
NON RESIDENTS REGIS
Collector New Has Discovered an Exten-
sive system Of Bogus Registrations
Made In the Denver District.

Gen. A. L. New, collector Of internal
revenue for this district, which In
cludes Wyoming and Colorado, has,
through one of his deputies, unearthed
an extensive swindling operation, the
ramitications of which extend through
out the West, says the Denver Times
Sun. 1t was discovered III the fegistra-
ton Of Chinese residents In Rock
Springs, Wyo. Aside from implicat-
ing leading Chinese any number OF
white citizens are entangled and the
exposures develop a systematic sale of
fraudulent certificates. Mr.. New has
obtained evidence leading to the con-
viction that thousands Of illegltimate
and fictitious registrations have been
entered at the treasury department.
The result of this is that certificates
of residence have been obtained for
persons living in China who never saw
the United States. Names and photo
graphs of Cinnamon who lived In this
country, but who have been dead for
years, have been used to carry out the
fraud. Upon these certificates that
have been seht to the celestial king
dom other natives may be landed in
this country ns residents. 1t is now
certain that every city on the coast
has contributed to the. fraud; and
Wholesale arrests will follow when the
affair is fully investigated.
1t promises to be the greatest sensa-
ton sprung on the. country for some
time, and will probably become a
question for international considera-
tion before the matter is disposed of.
AS far as shown the swindle is most
systematic one, involving two separate
coteries of operators, one having head
quarters ut Portland, Ore. and the
other operating in China.

Private Cedarquists Superior onicer
Trouble Now.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 2.-The repol|
that the secretary of war has remittey
the unexpired part of the sentence II
the case Of Private CedarQuist at Fofj
Omaha, who was sentenced to fine an9
imprisonment for refusing to engage
in target practice on Sunday, is pro
voking some warm discussions In
Western army circles.
General Brooks was seen in regard
to the action of the secretary of war
He said that the official order the Ce
darquist case did OF agree with the
press report. The official order read
as follows:
washington, Aug. 1.
commanding General, Department
of the Platte, Omaha, Neb.:
1.-THE unexpired portion Of the sen
tence awarded Private Cedarquist
promulgated in general court martial
orders No. 45, current series, from
your headquarters, Is this day re-
mitted by the President and you will
cause the man to be released at once
"This action, however. is not in any
way to be regarded as justification
of the disobedience of orders on the
part of the soldiers. The officer who
ordered target practice on Sunday, in
violation of the orders of President
Lincoln, given in November, 1862,
must be brought to trial for his dis
obedience of orders.
"By order of the secretary of war
GEORGE D. RUGGLES,
"Adjutant General"
The attorney who defended Cedar
quist said: "Cedarquist refused to
obey his superior officer because by SC
doing. he would be violating one OF
the laws himself. A soldier has only
to obey lawful orders and this fact Is
ders."

THE Gulf & Interstate railroad, the

cember provoked ridicule, is said to
be making progress. Fifty miles o.
grading have been done northward
from Port Bolivar, Texas, and Iii,
laying of rails has been commenced.
1t therefore is entitled to serious con
sideration- Its plans are good for tho
people who must support it. The
first mortgage bonds are restricted to
$40, 900 mile, and its total indebted
ness of every kind to $500 a mile.
Passenger rates cannot exceed tw.
cents mile. Mileage books will be
transferable and unlimited as to time
and number of persons using them
and free passes are prohibited. The

THE recent railroad troubles have
caused renewed discussion OF the
subject Of arbitration. Several bills
have been introduced in Congress to
carry out this idea. Represe ntative
Springer in speaking of compulsory
arbitration says: Compulsory arbi-
tration has been suggested, but tha
seems impossible without an amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States, and even in that event it would
be inconsistent with our theory of
government to compel persons to work
at less rate Of wages than they are
willing to receive or to compel employ
ers to pay more wages than they are
able to give. In my opinion no new
penal law will be enacted, nor is it
proper for Congress to create rights
and obligations which do not now cx
ist. The only arbitration possible is
where each party is willing to submit
a disputed question for the decision
Of outsiders A board or commission
should be created by the government
for this purpose, which should Away,
be in session and composed of men o
the highest character, in whose opin
ion all classes of people will have con
fdepce,"
