AS regards the Antarctic, the Presi.
dents tone was less cheerful than IL was
last year Two small expeditions have,
indeed. gone out; of these, one, from
Belgium, was last heard OF in Magellan
Strait, and some anxiety is now felt
because the vessel, the BeIgica. did not
return 20 Melbourne, as intended, last
April; the other, in the Southern Cross.

charge OF Mr.. Borchgrevink, a Norwe.

Victoria Land, and making an inland
Journey during the following spring and
summer. The expenses of this expsdf-

but We are surprised to learn, on the
Presidents authority, that il has been
despatched Without consultation with
the council OF the Geographical Society,
or with any competent authority" MIR.
borchgrevink is not without experience,
and will doubtless do some good work,
but those familiar with the history of
exploration well know how often lost
chances and mIsdirected efforts render
such undertakings of comparatively
little value. Sir Clements Marx
ham formally stated (which was already
generally known) that the large expedi.
ton, of which he spoke hope fully In his
address last year, cannot now be sent
except by private munifcence. The
project has been long discussed; 1t has
been espOused by the Royalsand other
scientific societies. Earlier in the wear
hope was strong that within the NEXT few
months the Government would commits.

The Court of Cessation has decided,
1t is said, TO send a G mmission to
Cayenne to take the statements OF Capt.
Dreyfus, This IS the second best course.
Why should he not be brought homer
AS for General Chanoine's statement
that he was in favor of revision when he
assumed office, but changed his mind
when hes the secret "dOssier, 4" which
he thinks overwhelming, but which
cannot be emade public without involving
grave foreign complications, the French
judges have heard something OF that
kind before. All this chatter about
foreign complications, to which success
sive Ministers Of War have taken so
kindly. has, OF course, been made quite
silly by the repeated declarations of the
foreign Embassies that they had no
dealings with Captain Dreyfus. And il
the 'dossier" is overwhelming, it ought
obI usly to be produced.

The Episcopalians.

DR.. Brooks, the Episcopal bishop of
the Indian Territory and Oklahoma,
conducted services in this city last
Sunday morning and evening, admin
istering the sacrament and also the
ordinance of confirmation at the first.
The decision to organize church and
put a man here has about been
reached and it is likely the Congrega-
tional church will be secured for the
present. A church has heretofore
been established at Wyandotte, and
that congregation will also be served
by whoever is stationed at Vinita.
There are quite a number of Episco-
palians in our city at present and
these with prospective early acces-
sions warrant the belief that no seri-
Gus obstacle to the maintenance OF a
church will be encountered.

left, but surrendered few days later.
He was a store keeper, but a man of
unsavory reputation.

SomAuzhat Exciting.

A company of horsetraders have for
some time occupied, in the afternoon,
the north section of Wilson street,
between Joseph Hunts implement
store and the saloon on the corner.
Thursday afternoon a large crowd
conpregated there and considerable
drinking was INDUCED in, and a fight
or two ensued. Three of tue men
finally started out of town whooping
and as they passed the court house
CAPTAIN White attempted to stop
them, and place them under arrest.
They refused TO stop, and turned
around and cursed the marshal. Cap

about a mile below town. He refused

From Tom Isbell.

Another letter was received yester-
day from Tom Isbell. He states
that his wounds are rapidly healing
and that he will soon be
able to go back to his COM
mand, which he is exceedingly anx-
ious 10 do. He says he has the shell
of the first shot he fired, which was
the first one by the land forces in the
war with Spain. After firing and
killing a Spaniard he took the shell
out and dropped it into his pocket.
He is very homesick. but thinks that
if he could get back to the army he
could stand it better than at Key
West.

who are best adapted by reason oil

preference.

Wagner and Muskogee are in the
midst of hot fight for the location of
the U. S. Jail -or the Northern dis
trict. Wagner has the advantage of
being properly located on the map,
but Muskogee has about all the court
officials residing within the limits and
they will doubtless make a strong pull
in her behalf. II no maneuvering
was done, Wagner would doubtless
get the plum.
