ANrARTIC EXPLORATION,

What the British Scientific Societies an
Organizing to Garry Out.
Three great British scientific societie
are agreed that it is the duty of tn
British Government to fit out an ex
pedition for thorough antarctic explo
ration. In November. 1893, the Roya
Geographical Society appointed a not
able committee to inquire into the pro
priety of such an expedition and re
port. They reported in favor Of hav
ing the Government send two suitable
vessels to explere the south polar re
g1ons and keep them at it for three
years. The report was adopted ant
transmitted to the Royal Society, which
In turn appointed a powerful commit
tee, which in May. 1894, reported strong
ly in favor Of the scheme. At the be.
ginning Of the present year the coun
ell of the British Association gave the
plan it's vigorous Endorsement, and i
doubtless took further action on it a

two suitable Government steamships Of
about 1000 tons each, have them start
IN September, land a company Of abou'
ten men somewhere south of Caps
Horn and another in Victoria Land
and have these parties spend two year,
or more ashore, exploring the antaro.

time in deep sea and other observa.

IN A MUDDLE.

The National Republican Com
mittee has made a mess of things
in District politics. Who ever
heard of three judges of elections
being appointed who are them
selves candidates for office, and
they are to be judges of their own
election.
There are at least ten candidates
for delegate from this city exclud.
ing the three gentleman who have
been named as judges of elections
Things are in muddle and if tn,

tee are satisfied that they have rec
titled things in this city they ar

ARBITRARY POWER.

What authority the National Re.
publican Committee had to abolish
the Republican Central Committee
of the District of Columbia no one
knows.
The District republicans are SET
of towards and serfs and seem will.
ing to accept every and any imposi-
tion and indignity that may be in
ficted upon them.
There were two republican organ
izations in the District of Colum-
bia, at the time the National Com
mittee appointed the three judges.
The only question to be decided
was which one was the legal COM
mittee. Instead of doing that both
republican organizations are abol-
ished and the judges of elections
have been appointed, who are a.
vowed candidates for delegates.
How will such procedure settle
the differences among the republi-
cans?
What can be expected buta con-
test from this city to the National
Convention?
Chairman Garter made the same
mistake that the National Commit
tee made and that waste appoiut as
one of the judges of elections, aman
who is a candidate.
Does Chairman Carter and the
National Committee think that the
republicans of this city will swal-
low su' b.? We are also told that,
if there is contest representation
in the District of Columbia to re-
publican conventions, will oe de-
MED the republicans.
Could the National COMMITTEES
take away the representation in the |
South?
This was talked of some time ago, |
because the negro delegates had
their choice, or because they favored

TRACTION TROUBLES.
Manager Bceicn and His Men Cannot
Arrange Terms OF Scttlcmc mt Strikers
Dissatisfied,


Philadelphia. Jan. 1.-THE committee
of employees of the Union Traction COM
pany in whose hands it was supposed
that the question of deciding for or
against another strike was placed, after
they had met the general manager of
the road, had IA conference with that
gentleman tonight. General Man
ager Beetem maintained the posi-
tion assumed by the company, which
gives the men that struck their old posi-
tions on the road. but he refused, as was
expected, to grant the demand of two
dollars for day of ten hours.
The principal fight by the committee
was made on the point of the recogni-
tion of the Amalgamated association of
street railway employees. The company
has announced that in the future all
new men who are taken on must sign
an agreement that they will belong to
no labor organization. Mr.. Beetem alb
sclutely refused to recede from his posi-
tion and in the end the sentiment of the
committee was in favor of surrendering
this point to the company. The men
representing the Market street, the
Ridge avenue and the Darby division
even signed the agreement on behalf of
the employees of these lines.
The men representing the other divis-
ions said that thy We're willing to sign
the agreement, but they We're confident
that their action would not be endorsed
by the men. The committee then left
Mr.. Beetem and went to a mass meeting
of the employees to report the result of
the conference What the result of the
mass meeting will be cannot be stated
Many OF the men who We're assembled
awaiting the return of the committee
were in an eXcitingly irritated state of
mind and We're loudly in favor of a
strike. The mass meeting was being
held late tonight and the committee will
meet Mr.. Beetem again at o'clock in
the morning and report to him the de-
cisiOn of the men.
