AID FOR THE WHALERS.
Hears Relief Expedition We'll on Its
Way to the Are


SEATTLE. Wash, Feb. f3.-News
was received here today from the eXpe-
dition by the government last NOvem-
ber or the revenue cutter Bear TO re-
lieVe the whaling fleet imprisoned in
the Arctic ocean. The news was
brought by the steamer Lakme, which
left Dutch Harbor Alaska, Feb. g.
The overland expedition in charge Of
Lieut.. D. H. Jarvis left the Bear, Dec.
L, for Tunnorok, a native village on
the north shore of Cape Vancouver,
and the Bear returned to Dutch Har-
Dor, where she went into winter quar-
ters. The overland expedition, consist
ing Of Lieut.. Jarvis, Lieut.. +. p Ber-
thOif, Surgeon j. Coll and f. K Colt
koff, guide. expected to proceed to st.
Michaels, which they would reach in
about ten days after leaving the Bear.
From st. Michaels the overland eXpe-
dition will go to Teller station. where
reindeer will be procured with which
to make the trip to Point Barrow. On
account of the ice, the Bear was only
able to get within sixty miles OF
Sledge island. where it was intended to
land the overland expedition.
The Bear made the trip from Seattle
to Unalaska in ten days, including
delay of tWenty-fouT hours about 100
miles out, caused by a severe storm.
No special incident attended the run to
where the overland expedition was
landed.
The Bear also brings news that the
bark Coloma, which left Tacoma Dec.
20 with lumber for Dutch HarbOr. had
not reached her destination, and it is
feared that she is lost.

They Know Better Now.

Mr. Dingley says that the tariff had
wages in the New England cotton
mills. 1t is long hours and cheap labor
South, versus short hours ard dear
labor North, that is the matter. And,
dutifully, the organs take up and echo
the solution. The strikers have no de-
lusions, except some shattered ones.
They have no policy that must be de-
Tended at all cost. They are out of
work; wages have stopped, and hunger
keeps right on with it's hnperious de-
mands. 1t is a condition, not a theory
that confronts them. They know what
is the matter When a barn falls on
a man he generally knows what hurt
him. They used to think that life
would be dreary waste Of labor, re-
lieved by none of the dignities of
American citizenship, if there were
not a good stiff tax on cotton i'm
ports. They got it. Dingley gave 1t.
And now their wages are reduced and
they are fighting against it.
Robert Howard is the organizer and
leader of the united mill workers.
Bright fellow as he is, he knows more
now than he did last year. He dag
noses the case. He says "the tariff is
to blame for a lot of the depression, -
because, when the tariff was laid,
wages did not go up. If prices of what
workingmen consumed had remained
where they were, 1t would have made
no difference if wages stood still. But
prices of those things went up Wages
stood still. Consequently the wage
Garner found his cost of living increas-
ing; his wages buying him less. That
is one cause of the slow cotton mar
ket. Working people aren't buying so
much, and the loss of their "purchas-
ing power is felt all along the line back
to the manufacturer" Which is a fair
diagnosis; a better one than Dingley's.
And his conclusion? A very sane one
Mckinley can never fool lot of coz
ton operatives again.

CLUE is TRACED TO CHICAGO.
Authorities Have Not Given Up the
Lambert Lake Mys-
tQry.

Assistant County Attorney Zollman
is still working on the Lambert lake
mystery. He spent two days in Chi
cago last week in looking up a clue to
tie identity of the dead woman found
on the Hog Back pass, near Barnum's s
farm, several months ago.
The assistant county attorneys mis-
sion was a secret. but it was divulged
yesterday that he went to Chicago OH
what was considered a very tangible
clue, recently turned up by Detective
Campbell, who was engaged on the
case at the time the body was found
In Chicago Mr. ZOllman sought the
assistance of the Windy City police,
and, with couple of detectives,
searched day and night for the person
whom it was desired to locate. 1t is
said the individual sought was in St.
Paul about the time it is believed the
unknown woman was murdered and
the answer to certain questions. it was
said would lead TO important develop
ments in the mysterious case.
Mr.. Zollman has not yet made known
the result of his Investigations in Chi
cago, but it is understood that they
were satisfactory and in line with one
of the most reasonable theories of the
local authorities.

A Notable Admission.

Gradually the relation of the state
to the corporations it creates for the
performance of public duties is devel-
oping out Of the chaos of assault and
resistance. Between the contention for
vested rights and private enterprise
appropriation proposed by advocates of
public ownership and operation, a mid
die ground seems to be acquiring solid
ity. The proposition is that, created to
perform functions of public nature,
the profits Of these corporations should
be restricted to a reasonable limit, the
surplus to be turned into the public
fisc in return for it's grant of power
to exercise it's sovereignty The Gothen-
burg method of dealing with the liquor
traffic is an instance. Our own gross
earnings tax is bottomed on the same
idea. The Toronto solution of the mu-
nicipal street railway is an embodi-
ment of 1t. The provision in the re-
charter of the Bank of France, that
takes for state uses a share of the
profits above a certain limit, indicates
its adoption there.
The report to the Massachusetts,
legislature of the commission appoint-
ed to consider and report upon the
street railway problem in that state is
the latest testimony to the acceptance
of this idea, and it gets it's chief value
from the rather ultra conservative
character of the men composing the
commission. At the head is Charles
Francis Adams, and with him are ex
Congressman CrapO and ex-Mayor
Hayes, conservative men all of them.
They send two bills with their report.
One, in addition to requiring the street
railway companies to share the cost of
street Improvement, provides for the
payment into the treasury Of all profits
after paying annual dividends of per
cent. Local taxation is to be on a slid
ing scale, adjusted to gross receipts.
The second bill provides for municipal
ownership of tracks and the lease of
lnen 10 companies at rental based
on earnings. The significance, as we
say, lies in the source of these recon-
mendations; for when men like Adams
admit the right of the state to limit
profits of corporations-invol ne
cessarily the power to limit capitali-
zation-and to take for it's revenue the
excess, the advance of the process of
right adjustment of the vexed relations
of the state and its corporations can
be better appreciated.

When that sickness of heart that

feeling akin to dispair in the stalwart
Republican editor, he turns from con-
templating the Cuban policy, the cur
rency reform policy of his administra-
ton, and the growing shadow of that

Some things he does not mention. He
