Laden with Arctic Spells.

Seattle. Wash, Aug. 1.-The Harrl-
man Alaska expedition returned here yes
terday on the steamer Joe WeIder. The
expedition, both from a scientific and
Measure point Of view, was an entire
success. A journey Of over 1900 miles
was made. The party left Seattle May

During almost the entire trip fine
weather was enjoyed. There was not a
single storm, and comparatively little
rain or fog. The health Of the party was
good throughout. Large collections were
made in vertebrates and invertebrates,
zoology. and in botany, geology and eth
nology, Many birds ana mammals NTH
nrto rare were found in considerable
numbeis The geography results OF the
eXpedition are considerable and impor-
tant. New waters were entered anu eN-
plored and many new glaciers discovered;
hitherto unknown and a splendid glacier
running into 1t at its head were named
by the geographers or the expeultLon
after Hartman. 1t was FOUND tnat

At Port Clarence, the Eskimo were found
in their primitive condition, living In nuts
made from the bones OF whales ana COW
cred with skins, and travelling In boats
Of skin. The expedition visited all points
originally planned, and In addition made
the trip through Boring sea to Siberia,
and was in all respects successful. Sew
eral thousand photographs were taken,
and there will be a revelation of magnih-
cent scenery even to those who AVE seen
the better known portions OF Alaska.
With unusual good fortune unrestricted
views were had of both the st. Elias and

tons brought back will not only interest

BRYAN'S INDIANA VISIT.
Silver Leader Confers With Hoosier
Democratic Chiefs.

indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 1.-The confer
enCe betwee w j. Bryan and the leading
Indiana democrats who met him here
Thursday night was continued until long
after midnight, and early Friday morning
there was another assembling In his room,
Those who attended say Mr.. Bryan be-
lieves the abandonment Of free silver by
the democratic party would cause the
loss OF thousands Of democratic votes 10
the populists In Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois,
Wisconsin and many of the southern
states, and that II would make doubtful
many states that he regards as certainly
democratic with that as the issue. He
believes. though, that opposition to ex-
pansiOn hould be made prominent In the
coming campaign, and thinks there Is a
fair prospect OF carrying Connecticut,
Massachusetts and other New England
states if this is lone.
1t is quite certain. say those at the con-
ference, that Mr.. Bryan opposes any con-
ccssiOnS TO the gold element Of the party,
and that he expects to win the battle Of
1900 without them.
Much comment has followed the pres
enCe Of Judge John Robinson, Of Spencer,
at the conference. He was one OF the
electors at large on the gold ticket In
1896 and made speeches all over the state
for Palmer and Buckner. Silver demo-
Gratis say he is ready to act with the
party again, and his return to the fold
is regarded by them as suspicious.

yesterday on their way from Yellow
stone Park, returning from a trip to
Alaska. The stop was made on request
of Captain Palmer, of Omaha, who has
been appointed by the Grand Army Of
Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota to
wait upon congress in the interest OF n
national sanitarium here. The party,
accompanied by Captain Palmer, SEN
ator Hayward, Representative Burkett
and wife, was taken through the state
soldiers home, and much praise given
the commandant for efficient work.
Captain Hull expressed the opinion
that n national home viii be estab-
lished here or at the Arkansas Hot
Springs soon. His preference is for
this place.
Asked as to the Alaskan boundary
dispute, Mr.. Hull replied their investi-
CATION was private, being a trip
planned before the question came up
for settlement. He says he will insist
on the United States retaining every
inch of territory owned by Russia at
the time Of the transfer 10 the United
States; that by the treaty of 1927, be-
tween Russia and England, prior to the
purchase, the boundary was fixed at
ten meridian degrees from the coast.
Canada's demand now would shut the
United States out from the only sea-
port entry to the gold fields except by
the Yukon river, taking Skaguay at
the head of the Linn canal; that Can
ada's contention that the United States
has lost its claim to the disputed terri
tory through it's laches in taking pos
session Of il is idle.
The representative party spent nine
days in National park and left last
night for the east. Mrs. Hayward and
Miss Archibald will remain here for a
stay of several week.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The agricultural
department will soon issue In bulletin
form some notes recently made on the
forests OF Puerto Rico by Robert I, Ill.,
OF the geological survey. Hill says that
comparatively little OF the original forest
Of the island remains. He estimates the
remnant at not to exceed ten square
miles. The principal part thus left Is on
the summit OF the practically insur-
mountable mountain peak OF II Yunquei
the highest pesht in the Sierra Liquillo
mountains. The evidences of original for
ests are plentiful, and Mr.. Hill suggests
that one Of the principal problems for the
United States Is to r%efOrest the island.
This, he thinks. will be comparatively
easy. The soil and climate are well
adapted TO tree growth and maturity will
be speedily attained. For the present,
however, there Is not sufficient timber 10
supply the needs Of the island, even for
fuel. Incidentally, Mr.. Hill gives much
information concerning the coffee, uga
and tobacco plantations. He avs there
are on an average "a farms TO the square
mile IN the island, which accounts for tho
