Some men from post at Bradford. Pa,
hit upon novel method of obfaining
recognition from the President. The man
nearest the Presidents end had been di-

his hand. The others formed a chain by
grasping hands. The President laughed
very heartily at the scheme.
When the Canton (Ohlo) post came

JUNEAU, ALASKA, Aug. 2I.-
Prince Luigi and party, of Italy,
arrived here tonight on the steam
ship City of Topeka. They sue
ceeded in climbing Mount St. Elias
to the summit, and were the first
men who ever accomplished the
feat. Their instruments and rec
ords, which they were careful to
preserve, show the altitude of
Mount St. Elias to be IS, ,I2o feet.
The summit was not reached
without the greatest peril. One
of the party was saved from awful
death by his alpenstock. They re-
port that the American party under
the direction of Professor Bryant
failed to make the ascent. Several
of the Americans became sick on
reaching the high altitude.

AltUays Met Failure.
To have reached the summit of Mouni
st. Elias is to have accomplished as g greal
a feat perhaps as has ever been Offered
10 mans physical effort. Precipitous
ice capped and forbidding, this peak stood
practically untried for more than a cen
tury after Captain Cook, in 177S, first
sighted its 2listening point.
Exploring parties skirted its base and
advanced a little above its perpetual
snow line, which on the south side runs al
an average height of three thousand
feet above the sea, but not until
late years has any proper snd we'll
equipped effort been made to climb its
Co steeDs and not until within this decade
did any one get so far up as to Justify a
claim to have really made the attempt,
the most successful previous expedition
that of the New York Times in 189l-hav-
ing turned back when yet mile below
the summit.
Just exactly how high they had 10 60
has always heretofore been a matter OF
conjecture, or. at best, approxim ation,
the estimates of the height having hau as
wide a range perhaps as that OF any other
mountain on the globe.
Captain Cook made no observation as to
its height, but La Perouse, who followed
him eightyears later, put it down at12, 672
feet. Malaspina, in 1871, raised it to II, 85l
feet, while Tebenkof, Bach and others in
the earlier part Of this century continued
10 lower it, until the English admiralty
survey in 1872 brought it as low as IA go
feet. In 1874 the United States Coast Sur
vey, after careful observations. deter
mined its height at 19, 500 feet, making il
the highest mountain on the North Ameri.
can continent.
A later estimate by the Topham party
lin 1889 reduced it again to is, 800 feet,
while NJ. B. Kerr in 1890 made it but
IS, $50. Professor J. C. Russell for the
National Geographical Society in 1891 and
Messrs. Turner and McGra th OF The United
S ates Coast Survey in 1892 placed it at
IS, 100 feet, which has since been gener-
ally accepted by scientists and geogra-
pliers.
The first attempt to ascend this mighty
ice mass that accom- pill he'd anything
worth mentioning was that made by the
untiring and intrepid explorer Schwatka
in 1886, with Professor Sibley and Seton
Karr They turned back a. a height OF
1900 feet, well satisfied with having made
the highest snow climb in the history of

tier state that the situation is getting
worse. 1t is evident that the Indian Gov
ernment must face grave crisis, involv-
ing heavy expenditure and probably great
loss of life.
The Government is confronted with the
following state OF affairs:
khy Der Pass has fallen into the hands
of The Afridi.; the posts in Kurrem Val
ley are threatened py the powerful trib
OF the Orakzai; the Mohand tribesmen are
meditating a renewal of hostilities around
Fort Shabkdar, while thousands of troops
are engaged in crushing the revolt in the
Swat Valley, and two large brigades are
holding the Tochi Valley where the Nah
sudm aZiris are again restless.
The authorities are convinced that Fort
Ali Musji could only have fallen after
desperate fighting, as the native garrison
of Khy Der r hes was made up OF men who
rendered valuable assistance in the Black
Mountain expedition o 1883. The fall OF
the fort is very serious blow, for it iso.
lates Fort Lundi Kotal, which is at the
extreme end OF Khy ber Pass, garrsoned
By 800 Khy ber Rifles, and necessitates the
prompt reconquest of the pass.
This is certain to prove formid Bile
task, of which the British troops had a
taste on Monday, when a body of artil-
lery, cavalry and infantry left Fort Bara,
south of Peshawar, in order to repel the
Afridis who were then advancing down
the Bazai Valley. The troops returned
early yesterday morning and reported
that many OF the men had dropped out
for want of water, none being procura BILE
along the route, while the Afridis, al
though shelled by the British, maintained
their position on the heights, threatening
the loyal villages of Kadma and the Brit
ish position at Fort Jamurad, at the
mouth of the pass.
Fort Jamurad is held by strong force
of British and native troops, and the
British front extends abou. thirty five
miles from Sha bkdar along the north side
of the Cabul River and southwark to
Peshawar, where the troops are massin e
as the base of a demonstration against the
OrakaZals, who occupy the region south
of the Afridis, but have not yet assumed
the belligerent proportions OF their neigh
bors. There is an uprising, however, OF
small parties which is proving trouble
some near Kohat, and it is thought both
tribes will try 10 close the Kohat pass
The widest excitement prevails among
the Hindoo traders at Banu, on Kurram
River. 1t is reported that 1000 Waziris
intend to sweep down there tonight to

VICTORIA. B. c., Aug. 25.-The City
OF Topeka arrived from the north to-day
with Prince Luigi of Savoy and party on
board. The party had a delig httul trip,
which was entirely without accident.
Very many valuable scientific observa-
tions were made and numerous excellent
photographs taken.
The party reached the summit of Mount
ST. Elias on July 81 at noon. and it must
De admitted that they have made very
remarkable record. The Prince will make
a full report of his trip to the Alpine
Club, which is to be called together IN tie
course Of a few months.
The party left here on April 90 1t con-
sisted of the Prince, Victoria Stella, a
famous photographer mum Der of Italian
Alpinisls, five professional guides and a
retInue OF porters. It was spIendidly
equipped fcr the arduous work so sue
ces' fully carried out.
Prince Luigi conceived the idea of
climbing Mount Z las when lieutenant
on an Italian war vessel stationed on this
coast. The Prince and his party landed
at Cape Malby on June a. At the New
ton Glacier they met the Bryant party
that had left Sitka sixteen days before
with the hope OF being the first to plant a
flag on the summit. One or two Of The
Bryant party having been taken i'll the
leader was obliged TO return. Tue Prince
managed his ascent very systematically,
supplies Icing very carefully packed from
camp to camp. He does not consider the
ascent difficult, except for the last few
hundred feet. which is solid mass OF
ice.
When they reached the topmost peak
there was neither wind nor fog, and the
thermometer was only 20 below freezing
The Prince planted the Italian flag on the

topmost peak, which is Is. I'D feet above
the sea level, and Photographed it. He
then cached the Italian and American
flags.
On returning the party took the yacht
Agg.e to Si'ka, where they embarked on
the City OF Topeka.
The expedition has determined two
facts OF prime importance to the scientific
world. 1t has ixe once for all the altl-
iude OF Mount St. Elias at 1879 feet. Ihe
figures are subject only TO such slight cor
rectlon as may change the total thirty or
forty feet either way. The expedition has
, also answered definitely, and in the mega
tive, the question so long asked oy sclen-
lists as 10 whether o. not st. Elias was al
one time great volcano.
There is not the slightest indication OF
volcanic action anywhere. The mountain,
like the rest of its neigh bors, would ap-
pear 10 have be. IL raised in the ocean,
tangible evidence of its grading in the
deep being found IN many fossil shells
sandstone ana beds of pebbles. A new
glacier was discovered by the explorers
rom the eminence OF Mount ST. Elias
between the Augusta Mountains and
Great Logan. 1t takes its course ap-
parently to the sea. and was named by
the Prince Colombo" This was the
only geographical christening during tho
trip. The parry had opportunity unlim-
tied times to perpetuate thus such names
as they might choose to honor.
The Russell expedition landed at the
head OF Yakutat Bay, quite a distance
from the point at which Luigi made his
debarkation. The route was absoIutel,
unknown. Advancing up these glaciers
and moraines took thirty-nine days, or
until July 4, on which the Prince declared
for the entire party general holiday.
AT Pinnacle Pass was found the first
evidence of Russell's expedition in 1891,
in the shape of tent bottom and single
rusty fork. Finally the foot of the
divide connecting Mount st. Elias and
Mount Newton was reached with supply
of provisions to last twelve days
They had lifted no more than 5000 feet
in covering a tramp of fifty miles, but 80
difficult and rough had been the journey
that all were quite ready for the twenty
four hours rest.
The Americans in the party raised the
o'oAo oAAN StiAPSc OhcI III Tue STed'
hills and Prince Luigi and his party
cheered again and again in honor of the
flag.
At o'clock on the morning of July 81
they com menced the ascent of the great
mountain. For eleven hours the upward
climb was made. and exactly 5 minute,
before II O'Clock the summit of st. E iaz
was beneath the feet OF the explorers.

Feted and Dined at the End of the

Masses, During the Parade.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 25.-Forty- five
thousand men to-day marched through
streets glorious in flags and bunting, re-
ceiving the ovations of half million peo-
pie. The President of the Union they
fought to save, himself their comrade, was
at their head. Whsn the line of the
Grand Army procession moved, ct 1880
o'clock this morning, the sky had not a
cloud. The rainstorms of the nigh left a
clear, bracing air that was like a tonic to
the marching men. The procession moved
for five hours and forty-two minutes.
Along the route of march 100 girls.
dressed in the colors of the flag, scattered
flowers in the path of the soldiers.
President Mckinley rode in carriage
at the head OF the procession and waved
his hat at the cheering crowd. At the
reviewing stand ne took his position with
Commander-in- Chief Clarkson and Gov
ernor Black and the headquarters staff
passed in review.
OF all the throng viewing the process
sion no one person was more enthusiastic
or more affected by the sight than Presi-
dent Mckinley. With his hat in his
hand, continually uncovering to the Ma
tional colors or the salutes of the veter-
ans, the President watched the array of
veterans march by. 1t was certainly a
column to inspire admiration. Such men
as Secretary of War Alger, General Lew
Wallace and General John Palmer walked
side by side with the negro or the decrepit
pensloner whom they had TO assist.
The closing event OF the evening was a
reception to the President.
Other events tonight were reception
by Mrs. Catherine f. Hurst, president of
the Ladies of G. A. R.. at the Iroquois
Hotel, a reception by Mrs. w. C. Wood
ley, National president OF the Army
Nurses. and numerous receptions by minor
organizations.
When the Illinois division passed the
veterans uncovered and waved hats and
hands, and the President rising returned
the salute by kissing his hand to them.
The orders were very strict in,,passing the
reviewing stand, that the men should
keep their eyes 10 the front, but en-
thusiasm was greater than duty, and
nearly every pest broke the rule. You're
all right" shouted one man, and another
supplemented 1t with, I'VE are all Nc

greeting. When the Pennsylvania di-
vision passed with twenty-five tattered

crowd on the stands and with one accord
they arose and uncovered.
