FOUND AN OPEN SEA.

Interesting Discoveries Reported by Mem
bers of an Expedition just Returned
from Arctic Regions.
London, Sept. 4-The steamer Wind

Harmsworth expedition, which hae
spent three winters near Cape Flora,
Franz Josef Land, arrived here Friday
from Franz Josef Land with F. G.,
Jackson and his colleagues. They re.
port having explored Franz Josef Land
thoroughly.
The result Of the explorations it e
claimed completely revolutionizes, the
old ideas of Franz Josef Land and
proves that the much discussed Gilliet
Land does not lie where Arctic geog-
raphers have been in the habit of plac.
ing it, and therefore it may be consid-
cred non-existent. The whole conti-
mental mass of land is replaced by a
vast number of small islands and the
lofty mountains by long ridge hum
mocks and ice packs, while north o1
these areas was found an open sea
which is the most open north sea In
the whole world Valuable magnetic,
meteorological and geological observa'
tions were made.
The cold sometimes reached 40 de.
grees below zero and jumped up to 2C
degrees below freezing point. The
members of the expedition failed tc
n
that there is no great land northwest
of Franz Josef Land. They add that
the existence of Peterman Land is
doubtful and that at most it must be
small These alterations in the mar
render the prospect of reaching the
North Pole from Franz Josef Land
very doubtful, as they are satisfied
that there is no land north of 50 de-
grees

HUNTED DOWN BY sLEuTHs.

Notorious Crook and Desperate Who Es.
capped from jail Years Ago is Recaptured
in New York City.
New York, Sept 6.-James O'Hara,
alias Joe Bates, alias James Brown,
AZ years old, burglar, highwayman,
desperate and probably murderer, who
cut his way out of Jefferson Market
prison here six years ago and has been
hunted ever since, was recaptured
Sunday by detectives. After his escape
O'Hara, with another fugitive from
justice, named Joe Stranahan, made
his way to Colon, from which place
they later on proceeded to Europe,
where they committed a series of bold
crimes. Three years ago OHara re.
turned to the United States and at
Columbus, O., was caught in the act OF
burglary. He served two and hail
years for this crime and during his
Imprisonment was not recognized as
the escaped prisoner from this city.
0'Hara was released recently and took
up residence in Jersey City. He
made trips across the North river and
at last the police were informed that
O'Hara was visiting his old haunts
here and took steps to arrest him.
Under the name of Joe Bates, O'Hara
in 1878 was sentenced to seven years in
Sing Sing prison for highway robbery
committed here. Again in 1885 he was
caught robbing saloon in this city by
Policeman William Ketchale. 0'Hara
made an attempt to shoot the police.
man, but was finally landed in the sta.
tion house. Before being sent to state
prison second time O'Hara threat,
ened to kill Ketchale as soon as he had
served his term.
On August Z, 1891, Policeman Ketch.
ale's dead body was found floating in
the North river and the mystery of his
tragic death has not yet been cleared
up. AS O'Hara was known to be out
of prison, orders were given to arrest
him on suspicion of having killed
Ketchale. Four days after the finding
of the policeman's body Patrolman
Thomas f. Mcclure was stabbed three
times in the back by O'Hara. After a
fight with another policeman named
Sherwood the murderous crook was ar.
rested. He was then committed in de.
fault of $4,000 bail to the jefferson
Market prison to await trial for his at.
tack on Mcclure. O'Hara cut the pris.
on bars with a saw and escaped.

same class of men, whom he claims to
represent. The preliminary arrange
ments for the Illinois branch of the
American Railway League, the new

ment say that the organization is to be
non-partisan affair which will not
only heap benefits upon the working
railroad men, but will also work for
the benefit of railroad corporations
Grand President R. S. Kayler, of Ohio,
presided at the meeting and there
were at least 200 employees of railroads
entering Chicago in attendance Grand
President Kayler said
There Is nothing secret about this organiZa-
tion. 1t is simply the outgrowth of the in
creasing intelligence OF railroad employees. We
intend to take part in primary elections. and
every candidate who secures our support must
first pledge himself that he will oppose legis-
lation which will tend to reduce the wages OF
railway employees. We will not attempt to
work into national politics at once, though in
time we may be forced to do so. While our Or
ganization is made up on non-partisan basis,
at present there is a preponderance Of anti
silver men enrolled. We have 81 leagues in
Ohio, and there are organizations in Illinois

OPERATORS YIELD.
A 65-Cent Rate for Mining is
offered.
Convention to be Held at Columbus, o.,
September VIII Undoubtedly Accept
the Proposition and Bring the
Big Strike to an End.

Columbus, O., Sept. 4.-The end OF
the great miners strike is in sight
Friday afternoon the national execu-
tive board of the United Mine Workers
agreed to recommend to the miners
proposition from the Pittsbnrg opera
tors for straight price of 65 cents a
ton, to continue in force until the end
of the year. A delegate convention of
all miners who have suspended work
has been called to meet in Columbus
September s, at 10 a. M, to act upon
the recommendation. President Ratch-
ford and the other members of the
board say there is not the slightest
doubt but that the miners will approve
the recommendation. The proposition
does not involve arbitration and in
effect provides for an immediate set
tlement of the strike.
President Ratchford said that there
were special reasons for the board rec
ommending the proposition. In the
first place it comedies the miners ma
terial advance. Had a 69-cent rate
been secured he was confident it could
not have been maintained for more
than 70 days. The proposition does
away with all the uncertainties OF ar
bitration and will bring the strike to
speedy termination. AS soon as the
miners ratify the proposition work will
be resumed in all the mines. In the
second place the proposition provides
for revival of joint conferences for
the adjustment of prices. The oper-
ators are pledged to meet with the
miners prior to the termination of the
agreement and determine the rate of
mining for the next year. Both the
members of the miners executive
board and the operators committee are
pleased over the outcome of the con-
terence and feel that public sentiment
will sustain their action.
Yesterday morning the operators
committee renewed their first prop
osition for 60-cent rate pending arbi-
tration. This was again rejected by
the miners board. Then the operators
committee submitted new proposition
for straight price of 65 cents and
after long discussion it was accepted
by the miners board, subject to the
approval of the miners at large.

Prospectors Return from the MIchipicoten
Region and Report that the Country
Abounds In Gold.
Sault Ste Marie, Mich, Sept T.
The party of gold seekers on the yacht
Mary Belle has returned from Michi-
picoten after having been in the new
gold fields but three days. They say
the newly discovered Eldorado is fully
as rich as has been reported, There
were IA in the party, all responsible
business men of this city. Each OF
them secured claims upon which the
gold quartz promises big returns. In
all the party will make application for
1000 acres which was prospected and
staked out while they were there.
Many samples of quartz in which free
gold as large as pin head can be seen
were brought back by them. The spec
linens were secured from different
places on their claims, which are scat
tered.
Veins OF beautiful white quartz car
rying free gold exist almost every
where in the Lake Wawa region. The
returning prospectors say that where
the veins are laid bare the gold parti-
cles can be seen everywhere in the
quartz. When the party left on Sat
urday at least 200 prospectors had ar
rived and they passed several parties
going in. The shores of Lake Wawa
were dotted with tents and within the
three days they were there a lively
mining camp had sprung into existence
The reports which the Mary Belle
party brought have set the two Soos
wild with excitement and an exodus
to Klondike junior will begin to-day.
A town site is being surveyed at Lake
Wawa and preparations are being
made to care Tor the hundreds of peo-
pie who are certain to flock to the
region in the next few weeks.
Detroit, Mich, Sept. IA dispatch
received by the Evening News from
Wawa City, the newly laid out town in
the Michipicoten gold country on Lake
Wawa, Ont, says the embryo town is
| located in the one narrow pass which
leads to Lake Wawa from the landing
place on the shore of Lake Superior,
which is but six miles from the gold
discoveries.
The News staff correspondent writes:
AS to the gold discoveries developing
to anything like indications give for, it
can be said that quartz has been found
that assays over $500 ton. 1t is found
not in one section but in different
places extending over several thou
sand acres. Quartz has been found
here containing free gold in chunks
as big as kernels of wheat-gold in it's
pure form which does not have to be
subjected to chemical process to free
it from the rock. Prospectors every
day are finding specimens that assay
$50 ton.
Several thousand acres have already
been claimed, but there are all kinds
of disputes about priority of claims
and nobody can tell who will get q
patent from the government. The
country where the discoveries were
made has never been opened up for
settlement. The only inhabitants are
Indians and Hudson Bay traders, and
they are few.
