There are three expeditions now lock- ing for the North Pole. In addition to Captain Sverdrup of the Fran, Lieu tenant Peary with the Windward is awaiting in Greenland waters to push farthest north. and Wellman and his party are supposed to be wintering in King Oscar Land with view of mak- ing an early rush for the pole when the season opens. So far as location Is con- cerned it is believed that Lieutenant Peary is nearest to the goal, and has the best promise of success. He is still many miles south of the highest point reached by Lockwood and Brainard during the Greedy expedition, and twice as far from the pole as the highest north reached by Nansen and Johansen four years ago.

Professor Grassis discovery that the Roman malaria is spread by partlcu- lar species of gnats has been verified at the Santo Spirto Hospital at Rome. All attempts to communicate the disease to animals had failed when a patient in the hospital volunteered to have the experiment tried on himself.

Starving Spanish soldiers.

1t was in the gathering room of Com
pany l, at the Seventy-first Regiment
Armory, that I found Lieutenant Will
Jams one morning, in a group of his
comrades, some of whom were busy
with accounts, while others listened to
comic songs jingled at the piano.
one OF the odd things he told ME
was about giving food to Spanish SOL
diers during the days of the truce fol-
lowing the capture of San Juan Hill.
You see, those chaps were starving, y
he said, "and they'd sneak across the
iOO yards between our lines and make
motlons tnat they wanted something to
eat one day we got an interpreter and
asked them II they didn't think they
had pretty good nerve to strike us for
hardtack and things while the fighting
was still on. They made lot of polite
gestures and talked a string of Spanish.
the meaning of which was: '.Honora-
bic gentlemen and brave soldiers of
America, 1t is true we have been fight
ing against you; we have tried to kill
you; you have tried to kill us. These
things have happened, and may hap
pen again, but in the meantime we
must eat. Please understand that, al
though we shoot you down we have no
personal animosity against you what
soever. We obey orders just as you
do, and we see no reason why we
should not accept your bacon and hard
tack if you will be gracious enough
to give it to us, especially as we need
it sorely."
"Well," said the Lieutenant, that
speech made big hit with us, and the
Spanish soldiers went away with an
armful of provisions which we took up
in a collection for them. As they
started to leave they sa1uted us again
with the greatest politeness, and re-
peated their assurances that they
thought the war a deplorable business,
and that it would cause them great
regret in the future to have to kill such
distinguished gentlemen as we had
proved ourselves -''-Cleveland Moffett,
in Leslie's Weekly.

That Is always the talk after a great

tried to use the ropes. only four got
down with life or without terrible in

spared injury through the GOODNESS of

world will not excuse an improperly

flon OF guests. Had the Windsor been
built correctly there would have been
no such loss Of life when it burned. But
1T was constructed unscientifically right
under the noses of the authorities. and
now they seek to lock the stable door
after the horse has been stolen. What
New York and all other cities should
do, is to compel structures such as ho-
tells. lodging g-houses, etc., over three
stories in hight, to be provided with
inner fireproof walls. SO equipped at
openings that in case of fire the build
ing can be easily and swiftly divided

DISPOSAL OF THE CITY GARBAGE.

The Trustees at their meeting to-
night ought to take action looking to
the establishment of garbage crema-
tory It will not do to attempt to be-
little the complaint about the dumps
In the American River bottom. That
was no sensational scare, it was and is
a sober and disgraceful fact. The
dumps are i'll placed. The waters did
rise about them and sweep through
them. In the opinion Of all, we'll In
formed sanitarians the situation was

ment's sake that the city could do no
better, that it was a case of necessity
to locate the dumps where the rising
waters might invade them-as they did
last week-the city garbage should
hereafter be cremated or disposed of
otherwise than by dumping. No city
located as is Sacramento in low bot
tom lands can afford to have dumps
for garbage. Upon that the sanitary
engineers. Of the world agree. There
is not a work upon the subject-and
its literature Is large-that does not
warn low lying places to avoid dumps.
The progressive cities are all adopt
ing cremation, not only on sanitary
grounds, but for economic reasons. A
crematory for the Sacramento garbage
and pits for the chemical treatment of
such as is not Immediately ready for
fncineraxion, or that must be other
wise disposed of, do not cost so greatly
as is supposed by many. But no mat

ed, especially are they necessary in this
dow lying locality, where summer heat
is great and winter waterfall sufficient
to occasionally bring the streams to
flood hight and to cause sipage to rise
we'll toward the surface.
1t wil1 certainly cost the city very
little to set on foot immediate inquiry
must be scientific, not conducted by
men who have not or cannot make a
study Of the subject. We apprehend
that the City Board of Health could,
without the cost of more than a hun
dred dollars or so, or perhaps without
any expense. report to the Trustees
precisely and in much detail upon the
subject since 1t viii be a matter of cor
respondence only to ascertain what Gre
mation furnaces, chemical pits and
handling garbage costs other towns and
cities. Also what income there is from
such furnaces and pits, since there is
always some income, the product of
these means of disposal being largely
useful. In some cases it has been
found that a large percentage of the
necessary fuel is drawn from the gar
bage itself.
AT any rate the matter should be
taken up at once and in the broadest
and most public spirited manner. What
has been done is of the past and there
as no call for defenses or excuses. Let
the members of the Board of Trustees
take hold of the subject with the fu-
aure alone in view. Let them consider
this matter one Of first Importance
with no other having precedence, if
they would have the commentator of

the rank and file into line with the
Carnegie, Schurz and other sentiment
talists who represent American Fill
pinoism. Fact is, not all the Democrats
in the House concurred in the resolu-
tions; numbers of them left the con-
ference before the vote was taken ana
not a few refused to vote upon them at
all, or evaded the test. At the time
the Record Union commented at
length upon the resolutions, which II
was vaindy hoped would form the sub
structure of a new Democratic plat
form. 1t is noted that the leading Dem
ocratic editors at the East are COM
menting upon the adopted declarations
freely and along precisely the lines this
paper suggested would be taken They
declare that it is one thing to say, get
out of the Philippines" and quite an
other to do it. That they are not pre-
pared and will not be to condemn the
war against the insurgents, or to say
that the archipelago shall be turned
over to the native rule as soon as the
Filipinos form a fairly representative
government.
Mr.. Watterson, the brilliant Demo-
cratic editor, is boldly declaring that
his party cannot afford to and will not
adopt the cut and run policy. For he
says such declaration as party tocsin
would simply turn the organization
with its face to rear at a quick march
of retreat Such leading journals as the
New Orleans '.Times-Democrat" warn
the resolution promoters that they will
find a greater division in Democratic
ranks than in Republican on the ques-
ton of expansion or retention of the
islands.

Mr.. Jones, Chairman Of the National
Democratic Committee. has been send
ing out letters to the New York lead
ers Of the unterrified, as well as to the
dele gates in the late New York Demo-
cratic Convention, asking what they
think should be done with silver, and
whether they will stand next time for
free coinage Of the white metal? If
this has any meaning whatever it in
dicates nervousness on the part of the
Bryan supporters that presages trouble
for that ambitious candidate. Right
on the heels of this feeler, however, Mr..
Bryan himself challenges the right of
Belmont to send out invitations to a
Democratic banquet, on the ground
that Belmont did not support the Chi
cago silver platform. Between Jones
and Bryan it is not likely that the Chi
cago Democracy will capture the New
York Democracy next season.

Neither the sOakland Tribune" nor

Precisely, gentlemen Does your con-
ception of the spirit and integrity OF
Sacramentans rise no higher than your
own measurements of motive? Can you
conceive of no purpose in life superior
to that of sordid gain? Sacramento
does not desire an extra session of the
Legislature for the reason that she has
the States interest at heart, and she
cannot conceive of any benefit to the
State by reason of an extra session
that would justify the expense of call
for reassembling the legislative body.

BoUNTY OF THE RAINS.

Oakland Tribune: 1t is impossible to
overrate the value of these bountiful
and protracted rains to every material
interest of our splendid State. Each day
now of their continuance constitutes an
almost immeasurable coefficienn of their
worth from the agriculturist's stand
point. The manner of the rains bestow-
ment is often of even more Importance
than the totaaiHy of the rainfall. This
was the case at this stage in the sea-
sons growing crops. While the down.
pour has been ample in all sections Of
the State, it has been conserved to the
soil and to the crops by its distribution
over many days., and by the holding off
of the quickly drying north winds
These conditions have far more than
compensated for the tardiness of this
years rainy season in its arrival.
There is no single adequate measure
of the worth of such rains to this great
State. Whereas the exports of wheat

We confess to a good deal of surprise
that the San Francisco, and largely the
interior press, during the late storm did
not go into Mysteries as usual over the
danger of a flood at Sacramento
Even the Weather Service Bureau,
which has the unhappy habit of scent
ing a flood whenever there is a sprinkle
of rain at this point, did not on the last
occasion indulge itself. While Oakland
was indeed threatened, while a great
body of her people in one suburb moved
out and carried their household gods
with them to escape impending waters;
while Stockton began to move up
stairs" and spent nights in sleepless
vigils; while many another town and
city battled to keep out rising waters
Sacramento, high and dry, safe and Sc
cure, pursued the even tenor of her
way, though the largest stream in the
State rolled its foaming flood at her
feet. Not that we might not have had
some little trouble, since all things OF
that order are possible, but we note
with pleasure that the people of other
sections have outgrown their Mysteries
about Sacramento floods, and even the
sensational press finds no more food
for scare heads on that subject.

WE DO NOT DISCUSS 1T NOW.
| Humboldt Standard: Besides what
President Mckinley said in his address
to the Home Market Club of Boston
on February 18th, in regard to the
Spanish war, Cuba, Porto Rico and our
possession of the Philippines, he touch
ed upon the tariff issue and incident
ally on the money question; and, if we
carefully consider what he said as the
true leader OF the Republican party, we
shall find small comfort in it for sthose
who desire to fabricate modern Re-
publican policy Those who look for
an abandonment Of the Republican
policy of protection, or the renuncia-
ton of the honest money policy by the
party, will do well to study his utter
ances. In regard to the tariff question
Mr.. Mckinley said:
I'VE have quit discussing the tariff
and have turned our attention to get
ting trade wherever it cam be found. 1t
will be long time before any change
can be had or any change desired in
our fiscal policy, except to strengthen
| it, The differences on this question
which existed have disappeared. We
have turned from academic theories to
trade conditions, and are seeking our
share of the worlds markets.
| The President touched the right
chord in the American heart He told
the genuine Americans what they most
desired to hear: I'VE have quit dis
cussing the tariff" said he, and cit will
be a long time before any change can
be had in our fiscal policy, except to
strengthen it, Eve have turned our
attention to getting trade wherever it
can be found" These are the words of
an American statesman and the one
among them all who knows that there
is to be no change in our fiscal policy
except to strengthen it" This comes
