THAT METEORITE.
Supposed to Have Tumbled From
tho Slxies Hundreds of Years Ago.

Boston, Sept. 26.-Thc steam whaling
bark Hope, Captain John Bartlett
which has Just returned from the Arctic
arrived here ut 6:3O this morning from
Sydney.
In conversation with representative
of the Associated Press today Lieut.
Peary said:
Wednesday morning. and fortunately
missed the hurricane which has been rag
ing the past week. The 100-ton meteor
tie in the hold of the Hope fell from
the skies hundreds of years ago. and has
been the source of iron supplies OF the
Esquimeaux. | discovered it in May,
1894, and since that time l have been
trying to secure it and bring it to Amer
lea. The EsquimeauX call it the Savick-
osoah. We have on board six Esqul,,
meauX. three men, one woman. u boy and
Il girl The oldest of these is Nook-Tak,
40 years old. the son of the old chief
Kooloatoonah, who plotted to murder
DR.. Hayes and some of his companions.
They will remain with me here this win
ter to arrange the chronological specimens
and will return to the north next sum-
mer with me. These people belong to
the tribe from which | shall select my
colony next year
In speaking of the last expedition,
Lieut. Peary said:
II consider the chief things accom-
plished were the arrangements made
with the Esquimeaux for my next jour
ney. From this time out they will be
securing furs and other skins for cloth
ing and have all in readiness for me next
year. so that within twenty-four hours
after my arrival there l shall be ready to
embrace the first opportunity to push. on
towards the point l wish to reach. Then
the second event of Importance is the
bringing of the meteorite to this coun-
try. The statements appearing in the
newspapers that we had discovered sc uf@
gruesome things about the hut of Lhp
Greedy expedition is all nonsense. We
found no grave yard belongings; We
found conditions such that we con d
reach the place where the Greedy OK 1efIi.
ton had made their camp, and althOu gu
it was August %, we found things in
side the hut covered several feet with
snow. Our party began to dig. around
and picked up buttons and piece OF
wood marked Norman, the name of one
of the Greedy party, and several other
things. These are all the 'gruesome
finds we made.
1.-THE Hope will remain in Boston until
Tuesday, when we will make for the
Brooklyn navy yard, where | have per
mission from the authorities to use the
100 ton crane to hoist the meteorite
from the hold of the Hope"

THE AMERICAN WAY.
Captains of Industry Are Not Hide
bound Like Britishers.

London. Sept. 27.-John Burns, radical
member of parliament for Battersea, has
tvo-column letter in the Times this morn
ing in reply to the statements of an Amer
lean engineer who a few days ago in the
columns of the Times discussed with an
English engineer the conditions OF work
in England and the United States
Mr.. Burns agrees with what was then
said as to the excellence of American
workmanship. He denies, however. that
this is due 10 the wages paid and the long
hours, but ascrbes it to the fact that the
American employer has few deadheads to
carry about He says:
"The American employers and captains
of industry are more inventive, adaptable
and assimilative, less hdebound in their
conceits, more versatile in inventive and
initiative effort. Where the American en-
cheering excels the British it is not be-
cause of the shortcomings of the British
mechanics. but because of the wooden.
headed and often pig-headed character of
the employers, managers and foremen.
Given skilled American supervision and
inventive methods with British mechan-
les work, and therein is an alliance of or
ganization and production which would bc
the best in the world

TamaIeviIIe Flies on the Handle and
Goes Into the Ridiculous.
San Antonio, Tex, Sept 2S.-(Special.)
Reports that suspicious cases of sick
ness, supposed to be yellow fever, ex-
listed in Houston and Victoria were in
general circulation here this morning.
and meeting of the board of health
was called to take action. kilograms
of inquiry were sent to the board of
health of Houston and to mayors of
Houston and Victoria, also to State
Health Officer Swearingen, who is now
at Houston. No replies being received
up to o'clock, the county authorities
declared rigid quarantine against both
Houston and Victoria and will stop all
through freight, mail and railroad trains
from these cities. The afternoon South
ern Pacific train from Houston was
stopped by quarantine Officers and the
crew and one passenger from Houston
taken off and placed in a car, which is
now being held under guard awaiting
the result of consultation. 1t is prob
able that the car will be sent out of
the city before morning. The San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass Railroad has
stopped the running of it's trains into
Houston and will turn them back from
Wallis. small station east Of Hous-
ton. The International and Great
Northern will be permitted to run trains
into the city on condition that they
take on no passengers at junction points
with roads running into Houston. Up
to 8 o'clock tonight the city authori-
ties have taken no definite steps and
are waiting for more definite informa-
ton as to the nature of the sickness in
Houston and Victoria. They have got
everything in readiness to quarantine
the moment authentic information
, comes that the cases in Houston and
Victoria are yellow fever, while the
| authorities are taking all necessary pre-.
cautions against yellow fever being in
troduced here, there is no fear that the
! disease will'get foothold here. In its
| history of 200 years no case of yellow
fever has every originated here, not
withstanding fully fifty refugees who
contracted the dease in other places
have died here. The altitude and eli.
mate conditions are believed to be such
as to render the city an immune, but
the authorities think it best to shut
out refugees in order TO prevent neigh.
boring towns from quarantining against

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
The "Inspired" Patriots Busy Fixing
for T,uesday's Convention

New York. Sept. ga conference Of
the republican leaders of Greater New
York was held today. The conference
discussed the arrangements of details
for Tuesdays convention and the adj
visibility of candidates for comptroller
and president of the council No action
of a decisive character was taken A
talk with several of the conferees gave
the impression that Gen. Tracy's name
will not be presented to the convention
on Tuesday. In fact if the very earnest
declarations of some we'll known and
''inspired" statesmen are worth any
thing at all. the chances of compromise
with the Citizens union on lines not
yet clearly outlined are very good, in
deed.

The unexpected bitterness of the press

Unusual measures were taken to pro-

drive through the streets was marked
by no special incident. though several
people salutcd him, receiving bow in

Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister Woodfords fami-
ly has not accompanied him, but remain
behind the French frontier. Minister
Woodford explains that his party is a
large one, requiring commodious home
and prefers spending II pleasant October
ut Biarritz until suitable residence can

Cleveland. o.. Sept. 26.-From talks
with iron ore dealers it is learned that
lake mines this year will beat all
records. 1t is now estimated that at
least 100000 tons will be marketed
this season. and next spring is likely
to find all the docks clear. That would
be unprecedented. Last year the stocks
in the spring amounted to 100000
tons. Ninety-five per cent of the allot-
ment of ore associations has already
been sold and prices show a buoyancy
under he heavy sales. 1t is believed the
ore pool which existed prior to this
spring will organize next spring.
