PEARY'S LATEST SCHEME.
The American Explorer Has Another
Plan For Reaching the Tole.

The American Explorer Has Another
Plan For Reaching the Role.
NEW YORK, March 3O.-The Adver-
tiser says: Lieutenant Peary recently
laid a plan for Arctic research before
the council of the American Geograph-
ical society. The plan includes the
reaching Of the north pole. 1t was
heartily endorsed by the council and n
subscription toward its accomplishment
promised. Should either plan succeed,
the United States will reap the glory.
Lieutenant Peary's plan, as now ma
tured, is considered by Arctic explorers
one Of the most feasible yet advocated.
First of all, it is not to be an expedl-
ton, III the usual sense@ the term.
1t will, beside Lieutenant Peary him.
self, include only Il or two white
men.
VIII Use an Esquimaux Colony.
The party will be conveyed by a
chartered whaler to the point on the
western coast of Greenland when
Perry has so often made his basis OF
exploration. At this point lives a trlpe
of EsQuimaux. From them he Will Sc
lect five or six young married couples,
and will with them push along the
northwest coast Of Greenland as far as
possible, and perhaps into the archl-
pelago, which, it Is believed,
the North pole. All their goods,
including dogs and sleds Will
be taken with them. and when no
further progress can be made north,
they and Lieutenant Peary and his
companions will be landed at some
propitious spot and a new colony
formed. The ship will leave q supply
of provisions for three OF more
years. and make its way back to
civilization before the ice closes in.
From this basic point the W or three
white men will make their explora-
lions.
Lieutenant Peary figures that this
colony will not be over 800 miles from
the pole.
As soon as the ice conditions are pro-
pitious an attempt will be made to
reach the pole.
The Esquimaux and their dog sledges
will be used if possible, but in any case,
the white explorers will push on until
the Stars and Stripes have been plant
ed. if not on the pole itself, at least
nearer han any other flag.

BOY BURGLARS.

A Dozen Youths Arrested for Stealing
Freight and Goods From Stores.
PERRY, o. T., March 30.-Oficers
here have arrested a band Of IL youth.
full burglars, who have been operating
on the line of the Santa Fe railroad be.
tween Winfield. Kan. and Purcell, l.
T., breaking into freight cars and
stores. The boys refuse to give their
names, but it is believed some Of them
belong to well-to-do Chicago, St. Louis
and Kansas City families. There are
three Hayes brothers, who are thought
to be from Chicago. They will be
taken to Purcell and made to answer
in the United States court for burglary.
Their ages range between IL and II,
and two Of the number are said to be
runaway s~choolboys.

BREAK IN THE LEVEE.
Crevasse Five Hundred Feet Wide Below
Greepville, Miss.

Crevasse Five Hundred Feet Wide Below
Greenville, Miss.
JACKSON, Miss, March 3O.-A Pc
cial from Greenville, Miss, says: A
crevasse occurred at Lake Lee, seven
miles south OF Greenville, on the Mis-.
sissippi side, through which an i'm.
mense volume of water is pouring into
the Black and the Steele bayou coun-
try. The opening is 500 feet wide, and
unless it can be stopped, which is
highly improbable, all that country
west of Deer creek, and the most fer.
tile and prosperous in the Delta, will
be o~verhowed from Arcola south to the
mouth Of the Yazoo river. This break
has relieved the pressure somewhat on
the Greenville front, and the gauge "a,
this hour shows the river to have been
on q stand since Sunday.
