THE FIRST ARCTIC PIGEONS.
SIR John Ross Took Some to the Polar
Regions in 1850.
Boston Herald.

Writers for the contemporary press who
have recently treated of Andree's essay to
reach the north pole in a balloon appear to
have forgotten-if, indeed, they ever knew
that carrier pigeons have previously been
taken to the arctic regions by other expcr-
ers and that. In one instance 1t is believed
a bird made its way south to its old home
When Sir John Ross went out in the Fee
lix, in search of Sir John Frenklin's expedi-
tion in 1850. he took with him four homing
pigeons belonging to a lady in Ayrshire.

state of the ice rendered ii necessary to lay
up bis vessel for the winter, and the other
two when he discovered the missing ex-
plorer, If he should be so fortunate.
A pigeon made its appearance at the dove
cote in Ayrshire on Oct. Is. which the
lady recognized by marks and circum-
stances that left no doubt in her mind OF
it's being one of the younger pair presented
by her to Sir John, 1t carried no billet. but
there were Indications in the loss of feath-
ers on the breast, of one having been torn

hundred miles an hour, the distance from
Melville island 10 Ayrshire. being in di-
rect line about 24OO miles. is so great that
evidence of the bird having been sent out
as early as Oct. 10 was required before 1t
could be believed that no mistake was
made in the Identification of the individual
which came to the cote.
1t was afterwards ascertained that Sir
John Ross dispatched the youngest pair

four. hours. The reader. can form his own
opinion as to the identity Of the pigeon In
question; but, at the time, it was fully be-
lieved that the bird was one of the two

bay.
The expedition fitted out by, Lady Frank
lin in 1851 which sailed in the Prince AL

took, a number of homing - pigeons; 81 1t
taking on board some Eskimo dogs, set out
to explore the shores Of Prince Regents in

reached soon after leaving, and four days
were spent in passing through It 10 the
western side of the bay, during which time
the men were constantly employed in sail

sequences. At this point in the voyage II

take the long flight to England, and reso-
lutely persisted in returning to the snip
again and again after short survey of the
icy region in which they were let loose.

are societies of gentlemen living in Greater
London, and the government of the inner
most square mile known as the city Is vir-
tually in their hands. They control the cleo
ton OF aldermen and common councillors,
and leave their representatives 70 make ar
rangements for the succession TO the may
orally. These guilds are self-perpetuating,
and their membership is restricted 10 men
OF wealth. Their influence is not confined
to the square mile which they actually gov
ern. They constitute close corporation Of
eighty-five hundred rich and influential
men, financially interested in the water gas

oils. and directing the fortunes Of many
privileged monopolies. whose business is not

The election of the lord mayor is a bur-
lesque performance, with touches Of mediae-

agrees to take the office and to pay the
corder. the common sergeant the mace

knot of liverymen gives assent. The lord
mayor is elected by representatives of the
liverled guilds. and he exercises jurisdiction
over squire mile of territory. with a resi-
dent population of $4,000. The greater Lon

lord mayor of London by half dozen rich
gentlemen who have been sheriff and the
popular election of a municipal dictator for
Greater New York.

MONSTER WILDCAT.
Coon Hunters Stay the Dreaded White
County "Varmint."

Special to the indianapolis Journal
LOGANSPORT Ind, Oct. 27.-For some
time past the farmers living in the vicinity
of Idaville. just over the line in White
county. have been missing pigs, lambs and
fowls. and in a number of instances the
carcasses had been found showing that the
depredations were being committed by some
large animal. Several people had reported
seeing an animal resembling a panther or
wild cat and hunters had reported encoun-
tiers between their dogs and some strange
animal, In which the dogs always got the
worst Of it. Tuesday night Joseph Hail. his
two sons, John and Aaron, and a young
man named Lucy went coon hunting, and a
short distance from the Hall farm the dogs
freed the animal When the men came up
to the dogs the animal sprang from the
tree, striking Mr.. Hall on the shoulder
knocking him down and inflicting an ugly
wound with its claws. The other members
of the party came promptly to the rescue,
and after hard fight the animal was
killed, 1t proving to be enormous cat
weighing ninety-four pounds. The body Of
the cat has been sent to English lake,
where 1t will be mounted and will then be
placed exhibition.

Does Durrant show any sign Of weaken
ing or collapse as the time draws near when
his last chance of relief from the death
penalty, through the Intervention of the
courts, must be decided one way or the
others?" asked Post reporter of Captain
Hale, warden of the San Quentin peniten-
tary, who is stopping at the Shoreham.
The noted prisoner is confined at San Quen-
tin, and under it's roof will, in all probable
ity make his exit from the world.
mo" replied Captain Hale. 'Durrant has
shown no sign of giving way. The nerve he
displays Is remarkable. If he realizes that
his earthly days are numbered he does not
show it by speech or action. He appears
utterly oblivious to his situation. / must
say for him that he is a model prisoner and
hasn't, from the hour of his incarceration,
cost us a particle of trouble.
IT will not attempt TO forecast the action
of the United States Supreme Court I'm his
case but will state that If the appeal OF his
counsel is allowed that eight hundred men
who are now inmates of the San quentin
penitentiary for all grades OF crime VIII
follow the same course that Durrants law
yers have taken. They will seek a writ or
habeas CORPUS or, being denied, Will appeal
to the United States Supreme Court 1t

bring down on the court, for every state IN

Mai. Gen. John r. Brooke, commanding the
Department of the Missouri says that a
large amount of travelling by railroad has
been done by troops during the past sum-
mer, and this has been a source of educa-
ton to officers and men, AS in our small
army any concentration OF troops WILL of
necessity, be by rail, the experience is of
great Importance, not only to the troops,
but TO the transportation companies as well.
General Brooke says there has been no
trouble during the past year in the Indian
country. Many improvements are required
at Forts Brady and Wayne. In Michigan.
now occupied by the Nineteenth Infantry,
and Fort Sheridan and other posts require
more buildings. Fort Sheridan. says Gen.
Brooke, has never been completed accord

be spared to put it on a proper footing.
The Apache prisoners of war at Fort Sill
are still under the care of the army, and
It is not believed to be advisable to make
any change at present

a greater volume of money. The agricul-
tural districts, particularly throughout the
West and South. have long complained or
their lack of banking facilities for the rea-
son that the law prevented the organization
OF national banks with a capital of less
than $4,000. Bills have been before Con-
gress to reduce the capitalization limit TO
Sz5,0o0. but the proposition has never made
very great legislative Roadway, owing to
the Populistic and demagogic prejudice and
opposition to the national banking system.
Besides. this plan of relief for small COM
Tnunities has been heretofore taken up in
connection with other banking and currency
projects, and has been handicapped on that
account Alone and by itself the plan
might be favorably considered by Congress.
