FROM ARCTIC LANDS.
Lieut.. Psarv Talks Of His Discoveries
and Plans.
Brings Back Number of Esqui-
maux and a Meteor Weighing
One Hundred Tons--His Review
Of the Results Of His Last Expe-
dition--He Rsfutes Some Recent
Statements.

Boston, September 26.-The steam
whaling bark Hope, Captain John
Bartlett, which has just returned
from the Arctic, arrived here at $50
o'clock this morning from Sydney,
G. B.
In conversation with a representa-
tive Of the Associated Press to-day
Lieutenant Peary said:
1.-The Hope left Sydney at IL O'Clock
Wednesday morning, and, fortunately,
missed the hurricane which has been
raging for the past week. The leo ton
meteorite in the hold Of the Hope fell
from the skies hundreds of years ago,
and has been the source of the iron
supplies of the Esquimaux. l discoy-
cred it in May, 1894, and since that
time have been trying to secure it and
bring it to America. The Esquimaux
call it the 'Saviksoah.' We have on
board six Esquimaux-three men, one
woman, boy and girl. The oldest
of these is Noo-Tak, forty wears old,
the son of the old chief, Kooloatoonah,
who plotted to murder DR.. Hayes and
some Of his companions. With him is
his wife, All Tung All Max Sosh, forty
ty-five years old, and their daughter,
All Wee All, twelve years old. The
others are Ke Sub, thirty-five years old,
with his nine-year-old boy Nee Nj. and
young man, Wee Shak Up ST, tweu-
ty-one years old They will remain
with me here this winter to arrange the
chronological specimens and will return
to the North next summer with me.
These people belong to the tribes from
which 1 shall select my colony next
year."
In speaking of the last expedition,
Lieutenant Peary said:
81 consider the chief things accom-
plished were the arrangements with
the EsquimauX for my next years
journey. From this time out they will
be securing furs and other skins for
clothing and have all in readiness for
us next year, so that within twenty
four hours after my arrival there
shall be ready to embrace the first op-
portunity to have such sent on toward
the point l wish to reach. Then the
second event of Importance is the bring
ing Of the meteorite to this country.
The statements appearing in the pa.
pers that we had discovered some
gruesome things about the hut of the
Greeley expedition is all nonsense. We
found no graveyard belongings. We
found conditions such that we could
reach the place where the Greeley ex-
petition had made their camp, and al
though it was August 23d we found
things inside the hut covered several
inches with snow. Our party began
to dig around and picked up several
buttons and a piece of wood marked
Norman the name of one of the Gree
ley party-and several other things.
Those are all the 'gruesome finds we
made.
"The Hope will remain in Boston I'M
til Tuesday, when we will make for the
Brooklyn navy-yard, where I have per-
mission from the authorities to use the
100-ton crane to hoist the meteorite
from the hold Of the Hope

ANOTHER HOLD up.
Robbers Attack a Northern Pacific
Train. But Owing to a Mistake
Missed the Money.

Morehead, Mimi, September 90
The west-bound passenger train on
the Northern Pacific railway was held
up three miles east of here at an early
hour this morning. 1t is said that the
express car carried a large sum Of
money, which the robbers failed to
secure, owing to a blunder in cutting
off the cars. The robbery was the
coolest piece of work imaginable. En-
gineer Hoover, just after pulling out
of Glyndon, noticed a man on the
front platform of the mail car. A
few minutes later the man climbed
over the tank and at the point of
pistol compelled the engineer to apply
the brakes Three other robbers then
came forward, bringing the conductor
and brakeman. All mounted the en-
CINE, which was again started west.
The robbers sat on the tank and or
dered the engineer to keep her NOV
ing" Not until the train reached
Morehead was it known that the en-
CINE and mail car had been cut eff
from the balance of the train. Then
the robbers discovered that they had
not cut deep enough into the train
and had failed to secure the treasure
said to have been in the express safes.
They rapidly despoiled the crew of
watches and money and made their

'MANY Strangers IN TOWN.
Excursions Yesterday from Pittsburg,
Parkersburg and Canton,
The Grand Army Band Accom-
panied the Canton Party and
Gave a Concert at Wheeling
Park-German Societies at Mo-
Fart Park-Two Concerts by tho
Chicago Marine Band at Seiberts.

There were more than the u.ual
number of Sunday excursionists IN the
city yesterday and nearly all spent the
afternoon at the parks. The usual
number from Pittsburg was augment
ed by large delegation of German ben
eficial societies, who came down to
visit Mozart Park, where they were
guests of the Mozart Singing Society,
and spent very enjoyable afternoon.
Eight coaches came up over the Ohio
River road filled with Parkersburgers.
The c., L. &W. road conducted an ex-
cursion from Canton and the famous
Grand Army Band accompanied the
party. The band was engaged for
concert at the Casino during the after
noon, and the excellent reputation
earned by the organization was suffi-
cient to attract a big crowd to that re-
sort. The music was excellent and was
much appreciated. Few, if any, better
bands have ever visited Wheeling.
Siebert's Pavilion was also thronged
during the afternoon and evening,
when concerts were given by the ia
nous Chicago Marine Band. The en-
gegement here was successful in every
respect. The music was splendid, and
many persons compared the band with
Sousa's to the disadvantage of the lat
ter. The. two performances follow:

Never in the history of base ball
has there been a more exciting contest
for the National League pennant
than is being waged at present be-
tween Boston and Baltimore. Both
teams are playing in luck from finan-
cial standpoint, as the unusual sirua-
ton is bringing record-breaking
crowds to the series of games in Bal
timore. Baltimore leads this morn
ing by one point, but Boston may lead
tonight The two teams play to-
gether this afternoon. Then Boston
winds up the season with three games
at Brooklyn, while Baltimore plays
four games on the home grounds with
Washington. 1t would appear that
Baltimore has a slight advantage, but
much will depend upon the result Of
the games this afternoon.
If the BaltimOres win two out OF
three from the Bostons, they can win
the pennant by taking three out of
four from Washington while the Hub
players are taking three straight from
Brooklyn, in which event the final
sanding would be:
Clubs Won. Lost Pct
Boston .................. Us ~ 40
But if the Bostons win two out of
three from Hanlon's men they will
have to win all the Brooklyn games in
order to hold first place, providing the
Champions take four games from
Washington, the final standing under
these circumstances being:
Clubs Won Lost Pet
Boston .................. " 50 ~
Baltimore .............. w 81 .lOS
By dropping one game n three to
Brooklyn after winning two nut of
three at Baltimore, the Rcstons would
be beaten out, if the Champions take
four straight from Washington, the
final record being in that case:
Clubs Won. Lost. Pct
Baltimore :. MINIMUM. % So .7OS
Boston :. ............ SO SO 705
1t can be seen, therefore, that after
the series in Baltimore has been COM
pleted the possession of the pennant
will not be definitely settled until the
series with Washington and Brooklyn
have been played.
Last year the Baltimores won the
pennant with record Of 80 victories,
80 defeats, and 69S percentage. The
Clevelands were second, with a per-
centage Of CPS. In 1896 the Balti-
mores' percentage was .669, and the
Clevelands were next with $50. In
1894 the Baltimores won the cham
pionship for the first time, with .695
per cent, the New Yorks being seconl
with .667.
The closeness Of this years race
has not been equalled since 1889, wnen
the New Yorks and Bostons raced neck
and neck during the last three weeks
of the season and finished as follows
New York, SO victories, 43 defeats, .659
percentage; Boston, So victories, as
defeats, .64S percentage.

THE WAR IN ASIA.
British Operations Said to Be Pro-
ceeding Satisfactorialy--An Armis-
tice Arranged for, But Other Tribes
Will Resist the British Advance.

Simla, September 26.-The operations
against the Mahmunds are proceeding
satisfactorily. Gen. Westmacotte has
completely demolished the headquar-
tiers of the Haddah Mullah in the viii
lage Of Jarobi,> blowing up all the fort
ifications.
While This was being done, body of

file, and sharp fighting ensued, but the
Sepoys succeeded in retiring with
slight loss.
Gen. Jeffreys reports that he has ar
ranged an armistiee of two days to en-
able the tribesmen to submit, which
they appear anxious to do after the re-
peated beatings they have received.
Spies report that the Afridis and Orak-
zais of the Tirch country, at council
held at Bagh. have decided to resist
the British advance. They have sent
message to Gholam Hyder Khan, the
Ameers frontier general, asking him.
to help them
Advices from the SANTANA district
are favorable. The severe defeats suf-
fered by the enemy in their attacks
upon Fort Gulistan and Fort Lock-
hardt have disheartened the AliShels
and other Orakzans in the Khanki val
ley. They have sent message to the
commander at Fort Gulistan, Offering
to make terms of submission and
promising to surrender all the plumber
and the government rifles.
According to telegram from Pesh-
awur, a small body of Afridis were
seen Friday night near the mouth of

who were driving from Peshawur to
Jamrud were fired at by men hiding
in the rocks, less than mile from
camp. They had a narrow escape and
their coachman was killed.

The English Working Leader, Replies ia
an American.
London, September 27.-John Burns
Radical member. of Parliament for
Battersea, has a two column letter in
the Times this morning in reply to
the statements of an American en-
gineer, 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 agreed with what was
then said as to the excellence OF
American Workmanship. He denies.
however, that this is due to the wages
paid and the long hours. but ascrihes
it to the fact that the American en-
ployers has few dead heads to carry
about.
He says:
THE American employers. captains
of industry, are more inventive. adapt
able and assimilative, less hide-bound
in their concerts more versatile in
inventive and initiative effort. Where
the American engineering excels the
British it is not because of the short
coming of the British mechanic. but
because of the wooden-headed and
often pig-headed character of the em-
ployers, managers and foremen.
Given skilled American supervision
and inventive methods, with British
mechanics work. and therein is the al
lance of organization. and production
which would be the best in the world"
He concludes by denying that Great
Britain is losing her engineering trade.
alleging, on the contrary, that it is
increasing while strikes are decreas-
ing. He quotes statistics in proof OF
this.
