MOUNT ST. ELIAS SIMPLY A TOWER
ING PEAK OF SOLID ROCK.
Details of Prince Luigi's Ascent of the
Famous Alaskan Sky-Scraper-
Its Height Is 1870 Feet.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 26-The expedi-
ton of Prince Luigi of Savoy to the sum-
nit of Mount st. Elias has determined two
facts of prime Importance to the scientific
world 1t has decided once and for all that
Mount ST. Elias's altitude is Is, 120 feet. The
figures are subject only to such slight cor
rections as may change the total thirty or
forty feet either way. The expedition has
also answered definitely and in the negative
the questions so long asked by scientists as
to whether or not ST. Elias was at one time
a great volcano. There is not the slightest
indication of volcanic action anywhere.
A new glacier was discovered by the ex-
plorers from the eminence of Mount st.
Elias between the Augusta mountains and
Great Logan. 1t takes its course apparent
ly to the sea and was named by the prince
Colombo" The route was absolutely
known. Advancing up these glaciers and
moraines took thrty-ninc days, or until
July 4, on which day the prince declared
for the entire party general holiday At
Pinnacle pass was found the first evidence
of Russells expedition in 1891, in the shape
of tent bottom and a single rusty fork.
Finally the foot of the divide connecting
Mount st. Elias and Mount Newton
reached with supply of provisions to last
twelve days. The elevation was 5000 feet.
The Americans in the party raised the stars
and stripes over the camp in the great
hills, and Prince Luigi and his party
cheered again and again III honor of the
flag. AT l o'clock on the morning of July
81 they commenced the ascent of the great
mountains. For eleven hours the upward
climb was made, and exactly five minutes
before y o'clock the summit of St Elias
was beneath the feet of the explorers.
When they reached the topmoSt peak there
was neither wind nor fog and the Their
mometer was only twenty below freezing.
The prince planted the Italian flag on the
topmost peak He then cached the Italian
and American flags. The prince does not
consider the ascent difficult except for the
last few hundred feet, which is solid
mass of Ice.

Description of the Famous Gateway
Between India and Afghanistan-
Faure's Visit to Russia.

LONDON. Aug 26.-The famous Khyber
pass, leading from Afghanistan into lndla'
has now fallen completely into the hands
of the insurgent tribesmen. dlspatch
from Peshawur says that Fort Lundl-ho-
tai, situated at the extreme end of the
pass, and garrisoned by three hundred men
of the khyber Rifles, was attacked and
burned by Afridis on Tuesday. The place
held out for twentyfour hours, when the
attacking force succeeded in effectng an
entrance into the fort. The enemy is now
scattered, bur intends to reassemble on
Sept. IS.
The governor general of India, the Earl
of EIgin. has teegraphed to the govern
ment here confirming the news of the cap
ture of Fort Lundi- Kotal adding that one
native officer was killed and one wounded.
Continuing, the governor general an
nounces that nearly all the garrison of
Fort Ali-Musjid has reached Jamrud. The
soldiers succeeded in retreating. This DIS
patch has caused a feeling of relief in
London, as it disproves the reported mas
sacre of the garrison of Al-Musjid aud in
dicates that the garrison of Lundi-kotal
has not suffered greatly.
The British authorities in India are graf
flied by the fact that all the men on leave
from the Fortieth Regiment of Pathans,
composed of Mohmands Swats and BoEer-
walls, whose tribes are revolving, reJOined
their colors on the outbreak of the present
disturbances. In addition, many members
of the reserve forces of this body of men
have voluntarily applied for enrolment.
The news obtainable at Peshawur regard

most meager description. 1he outposts

seen any insurgent tribesmen and it is i'm
possible to ascertain accurately what is
