Plunge Toward the Pole,

The latest letter from st. Michael, Alas
ka, at the mouth of the Yukon, tells of
the arrival there of Lieut.. jarvis and DR..
~. j. Call of the relief expedition to the
ice-bound whaler at Point Barrow. The
writer says: Lieut. Jarvis and DR.. Cali
are the vanguard of the overland relief
expedition from the cutter Bear. The
Bear on the 18th of December was in
North sound, about eighty miles east OF
this point, where they ran into slush and
ice. Fearful of going further north, Cap
tain futile turned southwark, and on the
10th OF December dropped anchor off
Cape Vancouver at the mouth of the kus-
kokwim river. On the 18th the overland
expedition left Cape Vancouver on their
long journey By dog team to the most
northerly point on the American CONT
nent. On the I'd Lieut.. Jarvis and DR..
Call parted company with the others to
push forward as rapidly as possible to
Cape Prince of Wales and arrived here
thirteen days from Vancouver. AS soon
as 1T was light enough to travel the morn
ing Of the new year, amidst the unearthly
bowling of a score of Malamoot dogs, the
two brave fellows shook hands quietly
with friends who had gathered to bid
them godspeed, and, giving the word to
their dogs, they again took up their jour-

IN the second inning of the st. Louis

at Sportsman's Park, and within five
minutes the entire structure was destroy
ed. When Second Baseman Conner Of
the Chicagos first saw thin column Of
smoke ascending from the northwest cor
ner Of the stand he called out that there
was fire. The cry was taken up, and in
a second there was a panic. There were
5000 people in the grand stand and pa
yilion, which are under one roof, and on
the bleachers. The players of the two
teams rushed to the front of the grand
stand and called to the people to come
that way. The widest excitement pre-
vailed. Men shouted and women scream
ed, and many Of the latter tainted. All
were rescued, only fifteen persons being
injured. The fire is said to have started
from lighted cigar, which was thrown
into pile of refuse under the stand.

End of a Long EnInity.

A street duel took place in Cotula,
Texas, in which both contestants were
killed. The duelists-J. Guy Smith, edi-
tor of the La Sale Isonomy, and known
because Of the vitriolic character of his
writings as 'Brann No. 81 and Henry
May, young and popular ranchman-
met i'll front of the Hotel Burke. They
had long been enemies, because of bitter
attacks made on May by Smith over To-
cal politics. May was sitting in front of
the hotel when Smith passed on the side
walk. Springing to his feet, May hailed
e1eith and fired before his victim could
turn fully around, the first ball striking
Smith in the back and the second in the
side. Smith also fired as he turned, his
first and only bullet penetrating Mays
left breast in the region of the heart. AS
the two men sank to the sidewalk guests
of the hotel seized them before hostilitles
could be further prosecuted. The duelists
were taken to rooms in the hotel. May
died in a few minutes and Smith fingered
six hours. Neither expressed regret at
what had happened.

DEATH IN EXPLOSION.
TWO MEN KILLED BY NITRO
GLYCERIN.
Otis Sykes ard Daniel Rice, Transfers,
Meet Death Buildings Are Destroy
ed and Disastrous Conhagration Is
Started-Porto Ricans Rebel.
Killed by Nitrog1ycerine.

A terrific explosion took place at a mag
azine containing nitroglycerin on Whet-
stone creek, southwest Of the Manning
ton, W. Va, oil field. The explosion
caused buildings to yibrate and fall, Win
dows to break and people living a short
distance away could only see heavy vol
unle of smoke rolling skyward. Otis
Sykes and Daniel Rice, Transfers, were
killed outright, and Edward Vincent,
pumper, was badly injured. They were
all employed by the Hartman Oil Com
pany, which is operating in that field ex-
tensively. The teamsters, Sykes and
Rice, had just arrived from New Martins
vile, w. Va, on the Ohio river, with two
wagons loaded with the terrible explo-
sive and had backed their respective wag-
ons up to the magazine houses when,
from some unknown cause, the whole lot
of it exploded There is nothing left of
the buildings, men or wagons, and four
horses, which were also literally blown to
atoms. The explosion set the fences OF
fire and it communicated to the woods
near by. Vincent, the pumper, was only
100 yards away at work. The derrick
was wrecked, the 6O0-barrel tank filled
with Oil was also fired and he was badly
injured by the falling timbers. There
were several buildings demolished and
the loss will be heavy.

Insult to the Flag.

It has become known that a few nights
before Pulaski L. Hyatt, the United
States consul at Santiago de Cuba. left
that port under instructions for Port An
tonic, Jamaica, Il mob of Spaniards made
a demonstration before the consulate and
threw tomatoes, eggs and stones at the
Stars and Stripes floating over the con-
sulatc. Tie crowd which took part in
this demonstration had just left the the
alter, where performance had taken
place for the purpose of raising funds to
increase the strength Of the Spanish navy.
The Spaniards surrounded the consulate
shouting, death to Americans" Long
live Spain," etc, and pelted the flag as
already described. The mob was dispers-
ed by the police. The instructions from
Washington, through United States Con-
sui Dent for the withdrawal of the Unit
ed States consuls at Cienfuegos and San
tiago de Cuba, were translated by the
Jamaican authorities into the British
Government cipher and were thus sent to
the British consuls at Cienfuegos and San
tlago de Cuba, who conveyed the meaning
of the messages to the United States con-
suls Mir. Hyatt, at Santiago de Cuba,
doubted the authority of Consul Dent in
the matter and held the steamer Brook
line for nine hours so rs to be able to
cable Washington on the subject. In
reply he received by cable the word "go,"
and Mr.. Hyatt obeyed his Instructions
Mr.. Hyatt left the United States consul
ate at Santiago de Cuba full of provisions
intended for the reconcentrados, and the
British consul at that port. f. w. Rams
den, took charge of the relief work.

Two Survivors of the Marlborough
Picked Up Exhausted.

Two Survivors of the Marlborough
Picked Up Exhausted.
Two emaciated and exhausted men, the
survivors of seventeen who composed the
crew of the British ship Marlborough,
were brought to New York by the North
German Lloyd steamer Saale, which pick
ed them up. They had drifted for five
days without food and drink, sitting most
of the time waist deep in water in life
boat submerged to the gunwales. The
Marlborough left st. John, N. B., with
cargo of squared timbers, bound for
Sharpness, England. Several days later
there was storm which blew the sails
from the gaskets The timbers Of the
cargo swelled until they burst the old
craft into three pieces. Captain Blanke,
commander of the Saale, cruised for two
hours amid the wreckage of the MARI
borough, looking for the rest of the crew.
No sign of them could be seen.

According to advices from Porto Rico,
the unrest of the island continues, public
order is not preserved, business is at a
complete standstiil, and an internal revo-
luton is feared. Street fights and serious
rioting followed the election. The polls
were raided, and the military finally in
tervened, killing two and wounding TWEEN
ty. At Caye 20O political arrests were
made, including Well-known newspaper
men. The designations from the provis-
lonal cabinet of three autonomists have
not been accepted. There have been
demonstrations also at San Juan, where
the police by active measures have re-
stored order, but there is no confidence in
autonomy, and election frauds have been
freely charged. The activity in improv-
ing the Notifications at San Juan con-
tinues. The American oil refinery there
is under Tie protection of the Spanish
troops. At last accounts the Vizcaya and
the Almirante Oquendo were still at San

ATauCD Though ENORMOUS III y OK
ume, Awaits Congressional Action.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of
trade takes the following view of the sit
uation: ''The meaning Of Congress re-
garding Spain is not in doubt but the
form Of declaration at this hour is IL
question. The Presidents message has
been accepted as a strong statement Of
the situation, and the question in Con
gress is whether it will without change
adopt his proposal. Preparations for war
continue as if it were inevitable There
is some hindrance in business, and yet the
volume of payments through clearing
houses is still 1919 per cent larger than
last year, and outside New York about %
per cent larger than in 1892, though spec
ulative stagnation here makes the aggre-
gate lower. The industries are doing well
because they have enormous orders taken
in February and March or earlier, which
insure operations for periods varying
from fortnight to several months. The
volume of legitimate business is enor-
NOUS, and meanwhile failures are remark
ably small. For the week they have been
254 in the United States, against POI last
year, and Is in Canada, against 80 last
year."
