WHALERS IN DANGER
Little Hope Of Escape From the Arc
tic Sea

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2S.-Arctic
navigators and operators of whaling
vessels say there is still hope that the
Belvedere, Orca, Fearless, Rosario and
Jeanie, the five vessels that were caught
in the ice west of Point Barrow about
October 1st, will get out, but that hope
is a very faint one. Their release from
the ice pack would have to come very
soon after they were inclosed by the
foes. or their bones would before spring
be drifting in the prevailing westerly
currents toward the Siberian coast.
Nothing but heavy southeasterly gales,
which would drive the ice back from the
land, would save them. and at this sea-
son of the year such winds are very
rare in the Arctic circle.

the Bay conference to desist from any
further persecution of DR.. Brown, re-

against admitting DR. Brown to mem

The work of the council was not COM

The Edison Reducer

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The Electrical
Engineer will publish the following ac-
count of Thomas A. Edison's success in
recovery by electrical means the iron
contained in low-grade ore. The in
ventor's experiments have been carried
on during the past six years at the old
Ogden Iron Mills, few miles from
Dover, N. j. His process, is brief, con-
ssts in pulverizing the ore. The corder
is then allowed to fall in close proximity
to electric magnets, which defect the
iron to one side and the non-metallio
matter falls to the other by gravity.

The Gear Apologies

BERLIN, Oct. 2S.-The Frankfort

a few days ago over the refusal of the
Czar and Czarina to receive Grand Duke
and Grand Duchess of Baden at Darn
stadt, after the latter had intimated to
their Russian majesties a desire to visit
them has been satisfactorily arranged
by an interchange of letters of explain
alton. The paper implies that Emperor
Nicholas of Russia offered an apology
for the curt brevity of his telegram.

THE DEAD STRIKERS
Sheriff Martin and Deputies Indicted
for Murder

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 2S-The
Grand Jury returned true bills against
Sheriff Martin and deputies for the Lat
timer shooting. The bills include nine
teen for murder, one for each man killed
and one for the victims considered COL
lectively. Thirty-six true bills were
found in the same way for felonious
wounding. There is a likelihood that
Sheriff Martin and deputies will elect
to be tried together. The entry of Gar
man and McGern, who withdrew from
the case at the time of the preliminary
hearing, indicates that the prosecution
will be pushed with vigor.
