TRoMsoE, Norway, Aug. 8-News OF
the wsllman polar expedition has Oesn
received. 1t was brought by the ssalsr
Mslygen, Captain Petersen. which ar
rived at Tromsos. yesterday. with news
dispatches from the expedition and also
with Captain Bottolfsen and three sailors
of the steamer Rsgnvald Jarl, which EAR
ried the Wellman party to the Arctic, but
which has since been wrecked.
Captain Bottolfssu furnished the fol.
lowing narrative of the experiences OF the
expeditions: After several battles with
young winter ice. the Rsgnvald Jarl ar
rived on May 10 at Table island, one OF the
Seven islands group. The ice. however,
compelled q return to Walden island,
where Mr.. welimsn left the ship on May
"a, with Is men, 20 dogs and Ito days pro-
visions.
AFTER the party had established q depot
they proceeded eastward a distance OF 90
miles. thence northeast. hoping to reach
the land that is believed to exist in that
direction. Up 70 the day Of the departure
of the sledge party, the expedition had
had ROOD 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 ad-
vanced, reaching northern Spitzbergen
on Sept. *, and headquarters at Danes
island on Got. I.
On May %, four days after Wellman
and his companions left. the Ragnvald
Jarl was broken up BY the ice and totally
lost. The men In charge of her manage
20 save some of the stores. A messags
was sent to wellman, informing him Of
the catastrophe, aud ID reached him al
Martens island. Weilman, Charles g
Dodge and two others then returned u
Walden island. With material takes
from the wrecked ship they built q house
to accommodate the crew, and as a precau
caution In case the expedition were com
PEELED to winter at Walden.
Wellman left again to join the sledg'
party on May 81. He writes on the sam
date: II have decide ID to proceed as pre-
viously planned, except that l intend Il

The Pasadena STAR referring to the
fornia Citrus Fair, says sit is numbers
that count" Not necessarily, but for the
matter of that, the north and center pro-
duce now more citrus fruits than did the
south in the same length of time after it
engaged in citrus cultivation for COM
mercial purposes. But as to the matter
of amount or volume of production
that is not the essential thing, but rather
the climatic conditions the growth OF
citrus fruits bear witness to. Deciduous
fruit and grain-growing have been the
chief commercial industries of the north
and center, and are now. But that
proves only an industrial condition. not
the full capacity of the climate and soil.
A section is valuable and desirable to the
homeseeker for what it can rather than
for what it does produce; for what it is
capable of rather than for what has been
done. We remember when stock raising
and hide-curing were the great predom-
mating industries of Southern California,
and the secret of her present success was
still uncovered; so, too, when grazing
and mining were the chief industries OF
the north and center. But the climatic
conditions and soil possibilities were then

BOYS and Men Who should be Fined or
Imprisoned for IL.
For some time past residents in the
vicinity OF the R-street levee have COM
planned to the police that men and boys
were in the habit of discharging firearms
recklessly in the evening. shooting at
ducks and birds.
Many declare that on numerous occa-
sions they have heard the shot strike
their houses. Last evening Officer Logue
arrested ]. W. Phelan for discharging
firearms withing the city limits, near
Seventeenth street. Shortly afterward he
went back and arrested George Tusch.
As soou as he left with the latter the
crowd commenced shooting again. he
went back again and chased man flve
blocks. until he ran into barn near
>Fourteenth and S streets, fastening the
door after him. Logue went around lne
other way and met an old woman coming
ont of the barn, who denied that she hao
seen anyone enter 1t.
Her husband said he would assist IN
tho search, and when they entered the
horn the man was in the act OF escaping
hv the opposite door, the old woman
having fastened the door by which they
entered the barn, so that 1t delayed them
tiIl ne escaped. Her husband was furi-
ons as he said he had before complained
of the bows for shooting his ducks.
of course the old woman did not know
she was rendering herself Liable by assist

A PARLIAMENTARY BOOMERANG

Speaker Reed held that if Representa-
tive was in his seat or within the rail OF
the House. he should be recorded as pres
ent, whether voting or not upon meas
ure involving a roll-call-that is. he
should be counted as present for the pur-
poses of a quorum. In this the Repub-
liean majority sustained the speaker.
When the Democrats became dominant
in the House they undid this ruling by
reversal, so the rule of the House became
this. that member might be bodily pres
ent. but for the purpose of voting
quorum be absent by silence.
Now comes the Democratic leader with
proposition. which the House will prob
ably adopt, that member not answering
to his name upon roll-call which de-
velops no quorum, if any member de-
nands it, there shall be certified list OF
members not voting, and the Sergeant-at-
Arms shall thereupon deduct from the
pay of the members the per diem for that
date-except when a member is absent
by leave of the House.
Clearly such rule is in harmony with
the law, which declares that members
of the House shall not be paid when alb
sent without leave. But, clearly, the
Democratic majority is insineere in its
proposed enforcement of the law, because
lis not to be uniformly applied. It is
only when someone makes demand that
the members not voting are to be"docked''
of their pay.
To be Just and fair. the rule should re-
ouire the Clerk to certify list of all ab-
ssnt or non-voting. unexcused members

A NOTABLE VICTORY.

The conviction of John Y. McKane of
Gravesend, N. Y, better known as a
Brooklyn boss, is decisive triumph for
decency. It is a victory so sweeping and
full of meaning that it is no wonder the
people of his town marched the streets
singing hymns of joy and shouting their
delight until too hoarse to repeat their ac-
carnations.
This is the third time within two
months that the cause of fair play in
elections and the purity of the ballot-box
has triumphed in Brooklyn. Even in
New York City itself, within year,
corrupt political bosses have been
brought to judgment and punished for
their vicious interference with the rights
of electors.
Take it in the long run these fellows
who brace their leadership by corrupting
the ballot are brought up with a round
turn-not all it is true, but one every
now and then is sent to prison or driven
out of The country with sufficient vigor
to demonstrate that the people are not in
sensible to trespass upon their rights and
principles.
McKane, who was the Pooh Bah of
Gravesend, being head of all the princi-
pal municipal patronage, and generally
the chief wheel in the political machinery
of Kings County, entered into a con-
spiracy to violate the election laws, to
interrupt the orderly execution of such
laws and deprive voters of their rights
under them.
1t was no more than has been done
hundreds of times by other bosses, but it
was made possible in this instance to fix
the crime and uncover the part of the
criminal because of courage on the part
of citizens.
So this political prince, who carried his
head very high, politically and socially,
had more absolute power than any Off
cial in the Union, and an income from
his political kingdom in excess of that
condemned and must have his head
shaved, put on prison stripes and 'dc
time," because the people asserted them
selves. So it can be everywhere in the
land where the corrupt boss and his
thimble rigging ieutenants and lesser
hirelings make the manipulation oi
municipal patronage and the control o.
municipal offices the means for fleeing
the people and lining their own purseeS
and initiating their importance.

THE second and very much enlarged
and considerably modified pamphlet
statement of Mr.. David Lubin's "Novel
Proposition" concerning postal carriage
of agricultural products at uniform
rate, and the first publication of which
appeared in these columns, has been re-
ceiyed. The author has evoked wide
correspondence and presents letter eX-
tracts from political economists and
writer's on economic problems through
out America and Europe, and great
deal Of expression from manufacturers.
transporters, producers, labor and agri-
cultural organizations and others. With
out here discussing the propositions
made, and which in their modified form
abandon the free land tax" idea and ad-
here solely to the uniform postal carriage
rate, it is to be SAID that the book has
awakened great deal of discussion and
must therefore do good. For it is true
that no calm debate of this or any other
politico-economic proposition can do
other. in the long run, than augment the
drift towards the truth. The vigor and
skill with which the author of the volume
debates with his correspondents is re-
| freshing and stimulating, and it is marked
| also by spirit of frankness and fair play
on his part in giving those who oppose
his views and pronounce them impracti-
cable expression in his own pages.
No grave and radical proposition up
setting completely established systems
and conditions is to be accepted out of
hand, no more than it is to be caval1erly
| dismissed. Whatever there is of truth or
error in the idea of uniform postal rate
for agricultural products will develop
orderly; it is radical protection scheme
that must for the time have its debate in

on call of the roll, that all may be treated
to the same medicine. But this is not the
aim of the majority. Behind the appar-
ent intention to enforce the law is the
real purpose, namely. to compel the "oral
presence OF a quorum. to force voting
quorum. The Democrats found them
selves confronted by their own ruling, in
upsetting Mr.. Reeds decision, and of
which reversal the Republicans naturally
and excusably took advantage in this
Congress. Therefore. to accomplish in
directly what they declared year ago
could not and should not be attained di-
rectly, resort is had to that which, to put
it mildly, is merely cunning.
