TO THE NORTH.
Lieut.. Peary, the Explorer, Leaves for
St. Johns, New FoundIand,
For the Purpose Of Making Arrangements for
Another Greenland Exception.

New York, June S.-Lieut. r. f.
Peary sailed from Brooklyn. yesterday
morning. for St. Johns, n. F., to COM
plete the arrangements for his coming
voyage to Greenland. He will return
to this city shortly, and expects to sail
for the north about July s.
Mr.. Peary intended to sail for Eng
land on June 9 to fulfil long deferred
engagements to lecture before the
Royal Geographical Society of Edin-
burg, but he found at the last moment
that the interests of his next Greenland
expedition would not permit him to go
abroad, and s 70 his foreign engagements
are again postponed
A number of scientific men and stu
dents who for purposes of their W
desire to visit Greenland, will take adj
vantage Of this opportunity to sail or
Mr.. Peary's steamer. Cornell univer-
sity, which will probably hereafter
take a very active interest in the pro-
motion of scientific research by mem
bers of its own faculty and student
body, will be represented by our or
five young men. headed by Prof. Ralph
s. Tarr. the geologist.
1t Is expected that Mr.. Peary will
drop this party somewhere on the coast
Of Melville bay. probably in the neigh
borhood of Devils Thumb. where they
will spend all the time, until Mr.. Peary
calls for them on his return south. in
geological and glacial researches and
making collections. 1t is very probable
that Cornells collections for home
study will be considerably enriched by
the fruits of her c~ommendable enter
prise. Everything which this party
collects Will go to Cornell.
Another party of four or five me-
Will sail with Mr.. Peary under the
leadership of Professor A. T.. Burton.
professor of civil engineering in the
Massachusetts institute Of Technology
These gentlemen will be landed at the
Great Umansk ford. in whose neigh
borhood some of the largest glaciers Oh
the coast Of southwest Greenland enter
the sea. Their headquarters will be
some ways north of Peary's route in
land over the ice cap in 1886. They will |
give their time to making collections
and pendulum observations and to the
rich opportunities for the study of ela- 4
cial phenomena.

AT ST. LOUIS.
Some Of the Delegates Have
Arrived on the Scene.
Co.. Swords Says Contests Are Settled
on Merits Of the Case
And That No Partizanship Will Be Shown
to Any One.

st. Louis. June 8.-Only three mem.
bers of the Republican national COM
mittee nave so far arrived in st. Louis.
They are George w. Hill of Tennes-
see, James Hill of Mississippi and John
c.. Long of Florida. All the members
of the committee will be in the city by
Tuesday night as the committee will
meet, Wednesday.
Colonel Swords, sergeant-at-arms Of
the national committee, in discussing
probable action of the committee In
he matter of contests, said: 1T is inn
possible for n man to tell the exact
attitude of the committee toward Nc
kinley. 1t is a matter Of no great i'm
p%ortance, although it is generally sup
posed to be. l am familiar with the
work of the national committee for the
past 16 years. and l defy any one to
cite an instance in which prejudice
entered into the adjustment of the con-
test. The contests are settled, as far
as the committed is concerned, abso-
lutely on the merits of the case. The
only consideration is the regularity or
irregularity of the proceedings which
named the delegation. This does not
hold good in the committee on Gre
dentials of the committee. Here per-
n preferences enter largely into
the proceedings of the body"
There appears to be considerable
difficulty in securing quarters for the
colored delegates to the convention G.
A. Hlll, national committeeman, Zom
tennessee is quoted in an AFTERNOON
paper as saying: Unless quarters are
provided Immediately. l shall telegraph
the colored members of the Tennessee
to stay at home. l do not
intend they shall come to st. Louis and
go hungry or eat in a place in which
they would not stable a horse at home"
Judge Long. national committeeman
from Florida. is in an indignant frame
OF mind over the alleged neglect of the
of the colored delegates.

CLEVER CAPTURE.
Two Syrians Caught With Counterfeiter's Die.
Arrests Regarded Important.

Worcester, June S.-The Worct stel
police made made an important cap
ture, Sunday. at North oxford, with tn,
assistance of Il. Il. Bragg and Franz
+. Squirrel of New York, who are con
nected with the government secret ser
vice. They caught two Syrians. VIII,
they claim are members of a gang o.
counterfeiters. and seized a complet.
outfit for making spurious coin.
The men were arrested in an isolateS
farm house in North oxford. near tn,
sutton line. 1t it is one of the loneliesi
and most secure spots for quiet worl
that could anywhre be found. and 4
place where discovery would be impos
.ible If it were not for an outside point
ar that was given to inspectors O'Da!
and Stone some time ago.
They learned hat suspicious worl
was being done in a small machine
shop in the city, but the man who was
doing this work vas suspected Of be
ing a tool for "a gang who used hi:
skill for their w advantage. He va
thought to be possibly interested. bu
not implicated in the work going OF
beyond, perhaps. having a guilt,
htioWl tuSe, anu accordingly ne Wa
watched in the hope of connecting hin
with the gang.
The shop a been watched since las,
fall, and last Thursday the reward
came when a wagon stopped in front o.
the little machine shop and into it wert
loaded power punches, a lathe. stamp
ing machine and a set of all kinds OF
dies used in counterfeiting. This team
was watched as it was driven through
Auburn anu North Oxford and finally
down a narrow way to the old farm
house, where the outfit was captured
The local police inspectors felt sure al
his point that they had made a dis
rovery, and at once notified the secret
service officials. The secret service mel
were in town. yesterday. and gained all
the information they could. and kept a
sharp lookout on the lonely farmhouse.
Today. they decided to make a call.
and after a days work they brought
back to the police station besides the
kit mentioned, Guseph Gabel. Sc, and
Shukis George, 80.
HI house is owned by these men. and
was bought some time ago through s.
local agency and on that account it is
believed that the arrest will break up a
wholesale plan of counterfeiting. The
tools and machines were in the rear OF
the house where the windows We're
covered. There was considerable raw
material. scales for measuring metals
and a long bar of German silver; in
fact, everything vas there for a perfect
ccunterfeiting shop. n the machines
were rugged up for fast power There
We're no stamps found. although the
stamping machine was ready for work.
The dies are said to show expert
workmanship. and were made for 10, 81
and so cent DIN The coins would all
be milled as they We're cast.
A further search will be made of the
Premises, tomorrow. and it is likely
that other arrests will be made.
The secret service men regard the ar
rests as of great Importance.
So far as known four others are i'm
plicated, but the police are unwilling to
talk about that until they have learned
other points they are following up.
