FRESH DETAILS
THE EXPEDITION

New York, April Ga dispatch to the
Herald from Brussels says Fresh de-
tails have been received regarding the
arrival of the Belgian south pole eXpedi-
ton in South America. The expedition
when stopped by ice was near Alexander
island. 1t had travelled to a latitude of
Il degrees, minutes, and discovered new
lands, new seas and many volcanoes
One officer. Lieutenant Dance. in charge
of the magnetic observations, died in
June Some months earlier the eXpedi-
ton lost a young Norwegian named
Winc&e, an excellent drauGhtsman, who
illustrated the expedition. The members
suffered much from cold in September,
when the minimum was 43 degrees below
zero. Captain De Gerliche does not state
whether he intends returning toward the
south pole or coming back to Europe
Doubt is thrown on the matter by the
fact that he wires for his correspondence
to be sent to Punta Rcnas

Canadian Gold Output

Montreal, April 6.-Recently published
official figures show that in 1898 the
Canadian gold output was $13, 700. 900,
placing Canada in fifth place as a gold
producing country. OF a total product
$40, 900 was taken out of the Klondike
Estimates place the output from the
klondike this year at S2O,000,0 600 and Brit
ish Columbia is also expected to do much
better than in previous years, so that
Canadians hope that Canada will soon be
near the top. The yield Of silver is also
growing larger from year to year. in 1897
it was $3,323,3 395, supplied chiefly by the
British Columbia silver mines. The cop
per output is now past the 81, ,000,0 mark.

Must Have But One Entrance

Des Moinos, Iowa, April G.--In the case
of the state against Frank Bartcll from
Wlnneshlek county, prosecution under
the liquor law, the supreme court holds
that Wholesale houses distributing
agencies must comply with the mulct law
in having only one entrance and exit and
that on the public street. Otherwise such
places are subject to all the penalties of
the prohlbitory law and cannot enjoy the
protection of the mulct law. Hardly any
of these agencies for beer houses are COM
plying with this feature Of the law. They
have back doors opening on the railway
right of way, for convenience in receiv-
ing goods from cars as in this case. This
decision is likely to lead to other prosecu-
tiOnS.

BURIAL OF
THE HEROES
Who Gave Up Life For Their
C)untry.
FULL MILITARY HONORS
Paid Them When Their Bodies Were
Lowered Into the Graves in
Arlington Cemetery
FULL MILITARY HONORS

Washington. April 6-With full mill
tary honOrs, in the presence of President
Mckinley and his cabinet and a multi
tude of people the bodies of 336 dead
heroes who gave their lives for their
country in Cuba or Porto Rico during the
Spanish American war were consigned It
o'clock this afternoon to their last rest
ing place in Arlington cemetery.
In accordance With the directions of the
president every honor, military and civil
was shown to the nations heroes. The
government departments We're all closed
at noon and flags over the government
buildings We're half masted.
The military escort comprised all the
artillery troops at Washington barracks,
a troop of cavalry from Fort Myer, a
battalion of marines from the navy yard
and the national guard of the District of
Columbia. About the graves were form
ed the military in imposing array while
in group stood the president, members
of the cabinet and other distinguished
functionarieS.
Back and around these was a vast con-
course of people while about through the

ments reared to the memory of the dis
tinguished dead of the great fratrcidal
war.
The customary volleys We're fired the
taps We're sounded and military drges
We're played by the bands.
The religious services were simple. The
committal services of the Episcopal
church was read by Post Chaplain Free
land of Fort Monroe and in order that
soldiers who died as Catholics might be
buried in consecrated ground, at the re-
quest of Cardinal Gibbons the consecra-
ton service of the Catholic church was
conducted by Rev. Joseph f. McGee, of
ct. Patrick's church. who ofliciated at the
burial Of Gen. Garcia.
Interment of the bodies began at the
conclusion of the ceremonies and the
departure of the military, but as each
metallic caSket weighs almost 500 pounds
and required eight men to handle it, the
lowering of bodies was necessarily slow
and it will probably require two or three
days to inter all of the dead.
The body of Captain Dodge of the
TWcnty-fourth infantry was buried at
o'clock in the officers section.

CONDITION OF
THE WHEAT CROP

Chicago. April 6.-The Daily Trade Bull
.etin will publish today a summary of es-
Inmates by correspondents of the area
seeded to winter wheat and the percen-
tage damage by unreasonable weather
during the past two months. The reports
show east of Allegheny mountains the
damage was light. The same is true of
Ohio and Michigan. In Indiana consid-
cradle damage is reported while in
southern Illinois the outlook is very un-
favorable. In Missouri considerable
damage has been sustained. Reports
from Kansas are decidedly unfayora bic
and the loss in that state is quite serious
In Texas also the damage is larger than
part of Kentucky the crop is in rather
good condition but in the southern part
OF the state and in Tennessee severe win
ter weather made lnroads on growing
crops. In Iowa the loss is fairly large and
in Nebraska the outlook is decidedly dis
couraging. In Wisconsin the damage is
rather serious. In California prospects
are excellent. Reports indicate that the
condition of the winter wheat crop is not
to exceed % which even on the increased
acreage would not produce to exceed $780,
900 000 bushels to $50, 900 900 bushels or
twenty million less than last year. The
states east Of the Rocky mountains will
probably show a shortage of 80, 200, 900 to
40 600 bushels, at the present outlook
which will be partly reduced by increas-
cd production In California. The seeding
Of spring wheat is decidedly backward in
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South Da-
kota, North Dakota and in the Rocky
Mountain districts and of the outlook

OpDosition to Tobacco

Indianapolis, Ind, April 6.-The Pres
bytery of the Union Presbyterians, at
their session here, have voted not to bur-
den the book of discipline and govern
ment with overtures suggested by the
general assembly in regard to the use of
tobacco. The oyertures read, in part, as
follows:
''The use of tobacco is sinful, and,
therefore. inconsistent with the Christian
profession, Because the use of tobacco
is especially obnoxious in officers of the
church, no officer will be ordained unless
he promises to refrain from its use. No
student shall be admitted to license to

The Secretary of the Treasury. up to noon
today, had received a considerable number
of applications from national banks for de-
posits of public funds under the Secretary's
announcement of last night The largest
number Of these applications came from
New York and other eastern cities, although
some have been received from the large

recommended that the legislature enforce
a tax of Il cents per ton on fertilizers made
in this state. This tax will raise $4,000
per year for the state and will be appro-
priated to the building up of the depart
ment of agriculture. Delegate Whitehead

New York Presbytery Declares His
Teachings Erroneous

The New York presbytery yesterday
adopted resolutions disappearing of the
teachings of Rev. DR.. A. c. McGiffert
The resolutions, prepared by Rev. DR..
Henry Van Dyck and Rev. Dr. Howard
Johnston, find that the teachings of the
book entitled "A History of Christianity in
the Apostolic Age by Rev. A. c. Nc
Glrert, are erroneous and liable to be mis-
understood The points objected to follow:
Inc apparent acceptance of the theory
that the sacrament of the holy communion
was not instituted by Christ himself upon
the occasion of the last supper and as a
memorial feast.
The discrediting of the view so long ac-
copied by the church that the third gospel
anu the book of Acts were written by ST
Luke and the suggestion that they were
more probably the work of some writer
hFiHg IN the latter part of the first century
generation after the death of the apostle
Inc expression Of uncertainty as to the
authorship of the gospel of John, and that
the dlScourses in ii attributed to our Lord
although they embody Christ's genuine
teaching, at least to some extent are the
composition of the author.
Inc view that Jesus emphasis of faith
IN or acceptance of himself is throughout
an emphasis, not to His personality, but
OF Ills message, and thus simply a re-
animation of all trust in, devotion to and
service OF God as the essential and suf
hcient condition of an eternal life of bless
edness in heaven"
