have reported that the Thrasher
is not as serviceable as desired, and
besides would cost $500 a day and
might be gone 200 days or more, in
curing an expense which the depart
ment would not be willing to assume.

English and American lard hogs,
embracing the results of tests to deter
mine the best food and the prices re-

stead OF being at all war like, was re-

fear of hostile out break.
The cabinet also gave consideration
TO the lce-bound Behring sea whaling
Heet. Two plans have been decided
upon, one to send the Bear from Seat
Tie, which can not be got ready for two
weeks, and another to send the Thrash
er, whaling vessel now at San Fran
cisco. This latter determination was
reached after the receipt of a tele-
gram by Secretary Long from the
commandant of the Mare island navy
yard. The Thrasher can be provision
ed at once and sent immediately on her
mission. 1t is stated that there is a
very good supply of provisions at
Point Barrow, and another supply at
HerschOl island, also that at least
three vessels well supplied with pro-
visions will winter in the Arctic. The
location of the Reindeer in Alaska,
which is wanted for transportation, is

My companion and myself soon found
that this harmless little episode had
gained the marked attention of a number

My companion and I thought little of
