Tentac1es over the Country.
New York, Feb. 24.-The committe ap.
pointed by number of the members of
the Chamber of Commerce of this city,
who met two weeks ago for the purpose
of considering the organization of per
manent sound money league, reported
today that such a league be formed. The
committee said: "The result of the
presidential election has demonstrated
the fact that while a large majority of
the America people are in favor of the
maintenance OF the gold standard, an un
expectedly heavy minority endorsed by
their votes the dangerous doctrines Of
the Chicago platform. This fact renders
it necessary in our judgment, that the
united efforts of patriotic men of all par
ties for national honor and sound money
should be continued, and we are of the
opinion that this can be most efectually
done through a national organization
covering the whole country. We there
fore recommend the formation of non
partisan association to be named the
National Sound Money League, with a
central executive committee and auXll-
larry organizations in all states" The
committee consisted of Alec E. Orr,
president of the Chamber of Commerce,
A. B. Hepburn, J. Kennedy Todd. VIM.

hook which has come in my way. NJ.
Oscar Klaussmann's book is well known in
Germany, and n. Maurice Leudet, the au-
thor OF this new study, who is a well-known
writer on the Figaro, has undoubtedly used
that work in the compilation of his ex-
tremely readable book. In fact, he may,
perhaps, be blamed for having left no docu-
ments whatever in obscurity, but for hav-
ing. on the contrary, added to the liveliness
of his narrative by the uncritical introduc-
ton of too many merely hearsay state

For instance. he relates without authority

This story is introduced to illustrate a
statement, which is perhaps too categor-

of sympathy for Great Britain, which, as

NJ Leudet insists that the campaign in
favor of an entente cordiale with England
is emipently patriotic and that to begin

The Greatest Horror in Alaska.

that walking hundreds of miles through
snow and slrsh, eating dry salt bacon
raw, sleeping on ice in wet clothes, float
ing hundreds of miles down the river on
three or four logs aud consorting with
polar bears are not the most disagreeable
experiences which he has encountered.
What has worried him more than any
thing else is his thermometer. He almost
curses the day he became acquainted with
thermometers. He could not resist the
temptation to take one with him, and now,
although 1t is a source of torture to him,
re has not the heart to destroy 1t or the
nerve to look the other way when he sees
the mercury creeping down toward the

become more terrifying than nightmare,
