Unbusinesslike, Methods Corrected.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-Repre-
sentative Dockery, Of Missouri, has
introduced in the house two bills
to further strengthen the system
Of accounting for government
funds, which he inaugurated two
years ago. OF these bills, one
directs ell government officers to
turn in their funds within thirty
days from the time Of receiving
them. AT present the law requires
the money to be turned in within
reasonable time" and it has
been found that some government
officials give the most elastic con-
structions to a reasonable time"
In one case the funds had been re-
tanned two years after their receipt.
The postoffice department. has
already inaugurated the system OF
frequent cash returns, some large
postof1ices making returns OF their
money order funds daily. Mr..
Dockery now proposes to extend
the plan OF frequent cash returns
to all government officials.

TIBURON ISLAND EXPLORED.
Prof. MCGee's Interpreter Has Some In

Los ANGELS, Cal, Feb. To- D.
C. Willard, who acted as guide and
Interpreter for Prof. MCGEE and
his party, in their exploration OF
Tiburon island, in the Gulf OF Call
fornia, has returned from the eX-
pedition with an overfowing sup
Div of interesting things to relate.
He saws the island is about eigh-
teen by thirty miles in size and
reaches four thousand feet above
the sea. The land is barren and
rocky and inhabited by about
three hundred Seri Indians, who
are unlike any other race both In
appearance and language. They
wear very few clothes and seam
per bareiooted, up and down the
cliffs like wild goats. They never
plant crops, but subsist on game,
and the waters furnish them with
any quantity of fish, clans and
oysters. The popular belief is
that the natives are cannibals but
this has not been strengthened by
visits of explorers. There have been
wild tales of mines with fabulous
wealth upon the island; of lodges
of silver and copper ores of Won
derful width and thickness, but

The New L. A. W. President.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Sterling
A Elliott, of Boston, the new presi'
dent of the l.. A. w. is in this city.
In an interview he discussed the
recent Baltimore convention. Con
Guiding the interview he said :
Concerning the craftsmanship OF
the racing board it is my intention
to consult the chiefs of the various
divisions in this matter. | shall
have circular letter prepared re-
questing them to favor me with
the man they think best fitted to
fill that important office. L shall
also ask the same opinions on
other matters of Importance to the
league and by their replies l shall
no doubt be guided to large eX'
tent. AS to the craftsmanship OF
the racing board L do not yet care
to say anything definite. Oh
course / have formed my opinion,
but at present do not care to even
hint at it. 1t is very likely that
the whole matter will be settled in
fortnight"
Being firm believer in publi-
city, one of Mr.. Elliott's plans is
to give to all newspapers who de-
sire it proofs of league news free Of
charge. These will be sent out
regularly. 1t has been claimed
that this method will supply a
need which has heretofore been
lacking.
The national meet of 1897 is q
good way off, but it may interest
many to know that President
Elliott favors holding it in the city
which can be reached by the
largest number of people at the
smallest cost.

NANsENs NORTH POLE.
He is Returning Home, But no Further De-

tails Are Known.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-The British
consul az Archangel, the capital Of
Russian government OF that
name, telegrsphs confirming the
report that DIR. Nansen is safe and
is returning from the north pole.
The news Of DR.. Nansen's success
has created intense interest in this
city. The report from Irkutsk,
Siberia, was generally dis.
credited at first, although more
faith was placed in it than in pre-
vious rumors, which reached Lon
don during the past twelve
months.
The dispatch from the British
consul at Archangel, given above,
is regarded as conclusively show
ing that the Norwegian explorer is
homeward bound, even If he has
not discovered the pole.
Dispatches received here from
different parts OF the continent in
dictate that the same interest in
the news from the north is mani
fest throughout Europe, and is
also generally credited at the Eu-
ropean capitals, although even DR..
Nausen's wife and relatives did
not give the announcement, which
came through Kouchnareff, the
agent OF DIR. hansen near the
mouth of the Lena river, the resi-
dents Of which locality frequently
visit New Siberia.
Later advices say the news OF
DIR. Nansen's safety was sent by
Kaudaroff, local Russian official
in the Yakutsk region, who was q
mem Der Of tho Siberia-KofIs expe-
dition.
DIR. Nordenskold, who is in
Christiana, is inclined to believe
the news of DIR. Nansen's safety, at
any rate, even il it is not true,
that he has discovered the north
pole.
According to the opinion OF arc
tic experts here, when the Fran
left Karaza in 1898 she may have
found the sea northward free OF
ice and pushed on until the expe-
dition came to the land around the
pole and DIR. Nansen and party
may have returned in sledges to
the New Siberian islands.
NAPIERvILLE, Ills, Feb. 10
Evelyn d. Baldwin, the metorolo-
gist of the Peary expetion OF 1898
"a, was asked what he thought OF
the reported discovery OF the north
pole by DR.. Nansen. 81 think it
highly probable. 1t is the result
of well calculated plans and was
not unexpected. DIR. Nansen has

said Baldwin.
WASHINGTON, ID. O., Feb. 15.-
The reported confirmation from
Archangel, of the report Of. the re-
turn of DIR. Nansen does not really
amount to confirmation, in the
opinion OF Gen. Greedy and Lieut..
Scheutz. The latter, with the pos
sible exception Of Commodore
Melville, who is temporarily alb.
sent from Washington, is better
posted than any other official in
Washington, upon the character.
istics OF the North Siberian coast,
which he has visited on govern
mental missions, being charged
with the distribution Of the re-
wards to the natives who aided the
survivors OF the unfortunate
Jeanette expedition.
Said he: "This news from Arch.
angel is as II we had telegrs m
from Portland, Maine, confirming
a story from Sandy Hook" Gen
Greeley took similar view
and held that 1t was in
conceivable that the same
story should emanate from two
places so remote from each other
as are Irkutsk and Archangel. He
knew of no way in which the news
Of Nansen's approach to the mouth
Of the Lena delta should also reach
Archangel.

Wife's Murder by Poison.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. ia
special to the Courier-J ournal from
Mobile, Ala, says: A sensation
has been caused by the arrest OF
Henry David Hearne, leading
light in the Baptist church, who is
accused of causing the death OF his
wife, by administering nitric acid,
which he had obtained from local
physician, for alleged analytical
purposes. The arrest was made
upon information of the accused's
step-daughter, who alleges that in
an ante-mortem statement OF the
deceased woman, who died sudden
ly in convulsIons, she attributed
the cause Of her death TO poisoning
at her husbands hands.
Hearne denies administering the
poison to his wife. Appearances
are against him, however, as be-
side his wife's dying statement,
half the contents of two-ounce
bottle of nitric acid is missing.
There have been unpleasant rela-
tions between Hearne and his
family ever since they charged
him, some time ago, with making
a proposition to his step-dsughter,
to marry him, in the event OF her
mothers death.
The police are investigating the
case and a post mortem exsmina'
ton will be held to decide the
nanaa of the wnmania death.
