Preparations for the First of the
Relief Expeditions

NEW YORK, Jan 22.-Edward ].
Rosenfeld has left New York for Port
land, Or, to take charge of a mid
winter expedition for the KIondike. He
expects to get into Dawson City be-
fore March Is, with a supply of pro-
visions large enough to relieve any
existing distress Il
His plan is to go from Portland to
Alaska, landing at Haines Mission.
Pyramid harbor, about eighty-five
miles inland from Juneau He will then
go over the ChilkOot pass and Dalton
trail to TT. Selkirk and up the Yukon
river to Dawson. He is the general
manager of the snow and ice transpor-
tatlon company, which proposes to es-
taoIIsh permanent line from Dawson
to the ocean for express, freight and
passenger traffic.
Mr. Rosenfeld has a contract with
Acting Secretary of War George d
MeiklejOhn, for the transportation Of
the government relief expedition to
Klondike. He will take with him ffty
soldiers. under the command Of Capt
s. L. Brainerd, who was an officer in
the Greeley expedition. The govern
ment sends $50 tons of provisions,
agreeing to pay Mr. Rosenfeld $500 a
ton from Linn canal
We will use snow traction engines
said Mr.. Resented. We have six of
these engines, each with 500 horse pow
err Five will be called upon to pull
seven cars each. while the other one
will be light for the purpose of break
ing the road. In addition to the govern
ment troops and supplies we will carry
ZOO passengers, with about 100 tons CO
miscellaneous freight belonging to
them, and 100 tons of our own for our
trading store. We viii take a half doz-
en- Indian guides, who are thoroughly
familiar with the country and several
cOuriers with dogs to send back with
reports Of the expedition. We will take
no women.
''AII the men who have been accepted
as passengers are able-bodied and the
contracts that they have signed are
not unlike the ships articles for sail
ors. Each man must obey instructions
and do whatever work may be requir-
ed. We figure on a thirty days trip,
though we may be able to make it in
half the time"

President Dole Insists Upon Real
Democratic Simplicity.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-There has
been talk among members of both
houses of a resolution Of welcome to
President Dole, and an invitation to
visit them in session, as was done when
King KaIakaUa was here. This was
generally assented to in conversation
by members of both sides, as an act of
personal courtesy to the president OF a
republic. But Mr.. Hatch hearing Of it,
quietly signifed TO them that Presi-
dent Dole, while highly approaching
every suggestion of courtesy, would
greatly prefer that it be omitted When
Dom Pedro, the emperor of Brazil, was
here, he made a similar suggestion
when a similar courtesy was proposed
President Dole. ever since his arrival
IN this country, has shrunk from all
displays. From Chicago he telegraphed
the state department, requesting that
the proposed military escort, which was
to meet him at Washington. be dis
pensed with, and in San Francisco,
when Gen. Shafter. commander Of the
military division, proposed to give him
a military escort from the hotel TO the
station on his departure for the East,
he urgently asked that all such form
and ceremony be abandoned.

Eighth Western Club VIII Probably

CHICAGO. Jan. 2S-One of the winter prob
lens of base ball has finally reached a point
near solution. Omaha is practically settled
upon as the city TO I'll the circuit Of the
Western league. After few preIiminaries are
inquired into. the Omaha people will be
awarded the franchise and become the heirs
Of the defunct Grand Rapids team.
B. E Schuman and VI. j. o Brien, who pur-
chased the Grand Rapids franchise, together
with President Ban Johnson and Charles
Comiskey. returned today from q flying trip

city.
President Johnson said: We found the peo-
PIE enthusiastic over the prospect of a team
and We like the town. There are nearly
three hundred thousand people in Omaha.
South Omaha and Council Bluffs. and the
cities seem 10 be prospecting There IS no
reason that base ball should not pay there.
We have placed no restrictions upon the pur-
chaseFs. but they will probably be guided by
US in locating their club. Anson is not
thought Of as manager. He would have made
a big card IN the Western league. and the
people were anxious to set him, but we could
not stand delay"
Mr. Schuman said: IF a few minor mat

senator caused suppressed laughter In
comparing the American silver dollar

ing that the former kept at a parity
with gold and could say II know that
my redeemer Iiveth." It was not the
boudholder who profited by a sound
money, but the whole body of the peo-
pie was benefited by a we'll sustained
parity and was injured by a Mexican
lied dollar
Mr.. Thurston CNeb) said that the
legal obligation Of the government was
set forth in It's contracts and there IS
no need now to restate the terms Of
those contracts. He would he said. so
far as his vote was concerned, follow
his party in its declaration to main
tain the parity Of all the dollars OF the
government.
Mr.. TiIlman Is. c. thought this dis
cussiOn was simply the maneuvering OF
the great political parties for position
in the great contest that was to be
fought in 1900. The people, he said,
would win in that contest as they had
won in every fight they had ever made.
Brief speeches followed by Mr.. Haw-
ley (Rep.. Comm. Mr.. GaIIinger CRep..
N. H. Mr.. EIkins CRep., w Va), Mr.
Warren (WyO) and Mr CulIom Gid,
the speakers doing little more than to
announce an intention TO vote for or
against the resolution as the case
might be.
Mr.. Butler On. c. advocated the
resolution. saying that instead OF de-
stroying the parity of metals, is was
intended to sustain that parity by
keeping both metals like both arms in
equal use.
Mr.. AIdrich Rep.. R. u said it had
not needed the declaration Of Mr.. Vest
to disclose that this issue was the
opening Of the campaign Of 1898. I'VE
intend TO meet this issue squarely, -
declared Mr.. AIdrich. I'VE are respOn-
sibIe to the great party we represent
and beyond that to the American peo-
pie, and we propose so far as we may
to maintain the honor and the credit

there seems to be no wavering in their

New Bedford a larger number applied
for aid at the offices Of the overseers
of the poor today than at any time
since the strike began. The severe cold
weather caused great suffering.
In view of various rumors about a
compromise, which have been circu-

have again decided by a formal vote
not to return to work except under the
