Bar Silver Getting Cheaper.
Bar silver declined Wednesday at New
York to the lowest price in two years, and
private dispatches from abroad received
in Wall street were to the effect that the
holders Of the white metal had weak
ened." Some of the bullion brokers as
sumed that this meant that the silver pool
was liquidatirg its holdings. Other brok-
ers were of the opinion that the lessened
demand for silver in the East, through
the adoption Of the gold standard by
Japan, among other reasons, was respon-
sible for the decline. Outsiders geneS-
ally called attention to the fact that the
recession in price came simultaneously
with the announcement of the great gold
discoveries in the,Klondyke region. The
price of bars abroad declined I'D ito

Will Seek to Found In Greenland a
Base for Exploration.
The steam sealing bark Hope, with
Lieut.. K. e. Peary and party on board,
bound for Northern Greenland, left Bos-
ton at daybreak Monday, fully equipped
for the voyage The work of provision
ing the vessel was completed only short
time before she sailed. The object of the
voyage is to establish a settlement at
remote northern point in Greenland which
shall be used as base of supplies for an
expedition to search for the north pole
under Lieut.. Peary in 1898. To this END
q party of Eskimos will be established at
the new settlement and will during the
next year be engaged in making prepare
tons for Lieut.. Peary's expedition. Ine
Hope will make direct for Sydney, =. g.,
where she will take coal for the remainder
of the voyage. The ship will skirt the
coast of Greenland, dropping the seem
tifc parties at various points and taking
Lieut.. peary to Whale Sound, where MS
plans for establishing settlement Will De
carried out. The return voyage Will De
begun, it is expected, in about five weeks
after the Hope arrives, and the parties
will be picked up on the way back. Whlie
Peary is in the north Belgian expedl-
ton will explore the antarctic circle and
endeavor to locate the south pole. The
expedition expects to reach Grahamland
about the middle of October, the begin
ming of the fine austral season. The
greatest latitude which has ever been
reached in the antarctic zone is 70 de-
grees, reached by Sir James Ross. If the
north pole is hard to reach, the difficulties
surrounding the discovery of the south
pole are Enumerable. Phenomena occur
there which no human being has yet been
able to account for, and continents and
mountains appear and disappear in
twinkling; fogs and sunshine alternate in
startling rapidity. This much is known
of the south pole. Nobody has got nearer
than 700 miles of it; mountains exist,
some Of which are active volcanoes; no
human being lives farther than So degrees
and no quadruped beyond &C degrees. 1t
is a land Of mystery and wonder.

REcONsIGNING THE GRAIN.
Southwestern Railroads Ignore the
Interstate Commission.

Southwestern Railroads Ignore the
Interstate Com mission.
All the southwestern railroads are re-
consignlng grain from Kansas City to
Texas local points at the balance of the
through rates, despite the recent decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which practically dealt a death blow to
the reconsignment privilege at Kansas
City. The full text of the decision has
been received by shippers and railroad
men, and they agree that it does not ap-
ply to grain shipments to Texas points.
1t affects the reconsignment of grain,
they say, at the balance of through rate to
Chicago and the Mississippi river, but this
privilege was withdrawn by the railroads
last November. The Missouri, Kansas
and Texas and the Missouri Pacific roads
agreed to handle grain to Texas at Kan
sas City, Mo-, in the old way. They con-
slider that the decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission is only an opinion
and must be followed with an order to the
railroads to abolish reconsignment priv
ileges before it can become effective.
