EXPLORER SATISFIED
NJ. De Gerlache Talks of the Results
of His Trip to Antarctic.
Six Points Wherein the Expedition
Met with Succeas-Discovcry OF q
New Channel and an
Archipelago.

The antarctic steamer Belgica has
sailed from Montevideo for La
Plata. NJ. De Garlache, leader of the
late expedition, sums up as follows the
result of his journey to the antarctic
regions:
/. Discovery Of channel which was
named Belgioa channel.
2. Discovery of an archipelago for
merly believed to be an isolated island.
3. Recti6cation of numerous errors
in the British admiralty maps concern
ing Fireland and Shetland islands.
4. The water temperature permits
the supposition that there is a CONT
nent far to the south.
S. Important discoveries referring to
fora and fauna.
6. Discovery of unknown lands, espe-
cially Dance Land.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, of the BeIgica
antarctic expedition, has arrived at
New York. DR.. Cook said:
1.-THE Belgica expedition was organ
lied in part by the Belgian government
and in part by private subscription. I
accompanied the expedition as sur
geon and anthropoIogist. Briefly, our
itinerary was as follows: Leaving
Staten island land of the southern seas
on January /. 1898. we proceeded d.
rectly for Cape Horn, taking soundings
directly south from this point to the
South Shetland islands, passing
through the group of Palmer land. We
entered Palmer land through Hughes
gulf, which we found was not a gulf
but strait as long as Megellen and
somewhat wider. We spent about two
weeks surveying Hughes gulf and final
ly emerged into the Pacific and pro-
ceeded along the west border or coast
of Graham's Land until we entered the
main body of pack ice west of Alexun-
der island. We passed through the pack
ice about nine miles south until we
were frozen in. The vessel thus frozen
in the pack ice remained fast for Is
months, during which we drifted 1900
miles to and fro and finally emerged
into clear water ut lO3 west longitude.
We then returned directly to Punta
Arenas"

HITS AN ICEBERG.
The GunbOat Buxzard Damaxed in
Collision In Straits Of
Belle Isle,

The British gunboat Buzzard, which
leftSt. Johns, N. F., to patrol the French
shore in the interests of fishery protec-
ton, struck an iceberg at midnight in
the straits of Belle Isle. She was going
about ten knots, the night being dark
and foggy. The iceberg she struck was
a low-lying one, locally termed a
"growler."
The collision stove her stem, forcing
it back and leaving gaping hole in the
bow through which the water poured in
great volume. The fore compartment
was flooded, and the shock of the col
lision sent the whole crew of 1870 men
on deck. There was no confusion and
every man found his station, and boats
were manned and made ready for
launching. The collision bulkheads and
doors were closed, gangs were set at
the pumps, and the ship was headed for
the land while the officers examined
into the extent of the damage.
1t was found that the vessel could be
kept aaoat by temporary expedients.
Mats were placed over the bow, the ORR
fee was closed with hammocks backed
by timber, the guns were moved to the
stern, and the break elevated above wa
ter. In this condition the vessel made
her way to port.

GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Treasury Department Orders $780,
100000 Worth PrinteL-WillB lie
of $50 Denomination.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE treasury
department Saturday made requisition
upon the bureau of engraving and
printing for the printing of $1O,Oo0,-
900 gold certificates in denom-
nations of $40 each. The treas.
urer now holds a large unissued
supply of certificates of the larger de-
nominations. 1t is the evident inten.
ton of the treasury department. to be in
position to issue gold certificates
freely for gold coin, should the fall
movement of currency lead to a de.
mand at the treasury for gold certifi.
Gates in exchange for gold coin. It is
to be noted that while gold coins can
be freely had in denominations of fves
and tens, the law restricts the issue OF
gold certificates to denominations OF
$40 or multiples thereof. 1t is
debatable question, therefore,
whether gold certificates will adequate
~ meet the demand for money of small
denominations.

A REVOLVING CRIME.
Middle Aged Man Becomes Infatu-
ated with a Child,
MOTHER OBJECTS TO HIS ACTIONS.
He Drags His Sleeping Victim from
Her Bed and Cuts Her Throat
Awful Deed of "A Mother
in Greentown, O.

Washington, Aug. IA horrible
murder was committed Sunday in the
northeastern section of the city. The
murderer was Ben amin H. Smell, spe-
cial examiner in the pension Office, a
man about As years of age. His victim
was Liza Weissenberger, girl 10 years
of age, who had been employed in his
household until a few months ago,
when she was taken home by her
parents, who became suspicious of
SHELLS conduct towards her. Smell
seemed to be infatuated with the child,
and paid her a great deal of attention,
which, however, she resented. Sunday
morning Smell went to his victims
house and, entering at the front door,
passed on through the middle room,
where the girl was sleeping, to the din
ing-room door. While standing at the
door the mother ordered him out of the
house. Smell started to go, passing
again through the room where the
child was.
Cuts the Child's Throat.
He bent over the sleeping child and
drew her from the bed. Awakened sud-
denly, she screamed in terror. Twist
ing one hand in the girls hair and
throwing back her head, Smell drew a
razor from his pocket and swept it
across her throat. Twice he slashed
her throat, and once he missed, cutting
a great piece of flesh from her cheek.
The head was almost severed from the
body, and both the murderer and his
victim were drenched with blood. At
tracted by the child's screams, the
mother ran to the rescue. In frenzy
she grappled with the murderer, and
was badly slashed ON the arm with the
razor. The murderer attempted to es-
cape, but was soon captured by the
police and locked up in the Ninth pre-
cinct station. He refuses to give any
explanation of his acts, and says he re-
members nothing about them. The
murderer is a native of Vermont, and
was at one time employed in a bank
in Montgomery, Ala. He has wife
and two children.

An Empress' Pen,

1 heard an interesting fact regarding
the former empress of the French the
other night which shows in what direc-
ton her thoughts run. Whenever She
has occasion to write anything about
her lamented husband, she always uses
the diamond pen which signed the
treaty Of Paris. All those who partici-
pated in this historical occasion wanted
the pen as memento. But SO keen was
the empress on possessing it that she
begged that only one pen should be
used, which she thought she had q
right to retain as souvenir. This was
agreed to. The pen takes the form of q
quill plucked from a golden eagles
wing and richly mounted with dia-
mends and gold. -Woman's Life

SHE: is A SMOKER.
Daughter ofthe Mexican Ambass 81 dol
At Washington Distinguish-
Tag IIerself.

Since the beginning of the summer
season residents in the vicinity of the
Mexican embassy, Washington, have
been surprised to see beautiful young
woman emerge from the embassy
smoking a cigarette. She dresses in
light summer attire, and is invariably
attended by an escort. During her
walk she continues to smoke, and seems
entirely unconscious of the attention
attracted. and goes through all the
graceful manipulations of the cigarette
in a fascinating manner. Her escort
does not smoke, but devotes all his at
tention to the fair daughter of the land
of the cactus. The woman is Sonora
Perez, the widowed daughter of the
Mexican ambassador and Sonora AS
piroz, and her escort is her eldest broth
er. The cigarettes Sonora Perez smokes
are the product of Mexico, and her way
of smoking them is so distinctly Next
can that no one could possibly object
to it.

.cHoATE's LovE-MAK1NG.
MRS. Hetty Green Tells an Interesting
Story on the United States Ann
bassador to England,

Mrs. Hetty Green tells an interesting
story of United States Ambassador Jo-
seph II. Choate when he was young
man. Even in,sthose early days and
long before his fame as q wit had been
established, Mr.. Choate was ELOQUENT
in his descriptions of current events.
According to Mrs. Green, she and Kit
ty Wolfe were boon companions in their
girlhood. and compared notes on their
love episodes. Mrs. Green, now an aged
woman, with husband and family,
takes great delight in talking over the
period when she received the attentions
of young men who later made their
mark in life.
Conspicuous among them," she said
to reporter, was young Joe Choate,
as we knew him. He visited me on
Tuesday evening and called on Kitty
Wolfe on Thursdays. We girls would
meet on Fridays and compare notes.
Young Mr.. Choate was flowery in his
conversation, especially on subjects of
love, and I called him Cupid. In later
life. when l knew him only as a law
yer opposed to me, I changed his name
to that of Cherub.
II recall a certain evening at my ia
theirs home, in West Twelfth street.
when Mr.. Choate, referring to a we'd
ding of mutual friends, said: Cupid
has spread his bow over these happy
people and their cloud has silver
lining
II thought that was beautiful. The
following Friday I called upon Kitty
Wolfe, and laughingly she said that
Mr.. Choate was graphic in his descrip-
ton of the wedding. To my surprise
she repeated the same sentence about
Cupid which had pleased me so much"

evolution of practical and of devotional
religion in Scotch sheepdogs on a COM

The churchyard was crowded with
shepherds, accompanied by their dogs,
which lay quietly asleep at the feet Of
their masters. The sermon was finished,
the psalm had been sung. the final
prayer was being offered, and there was
no sign of impatience, but tho moment
the benediction commenced the devo-
t1onal doggies all reused themselves,
and before the amen they were in

The assurance given in this letter one
week ago that Governor Lind would
not be baked in his purpose of reform
ing the Inspection department was
made good with rapidly occurring
events of the first days following. No
sooner was Inspector Clausen made
aware of the situation, than like Davy
Crockett's coon, he "came down." and
his resignation and the election of Sen
ator Reishus quickly followed. There
was never at any time the slightes st
question but that Gov. Lind would re-
deem his pledge to the people Of the
state, in this regard. The only ques-
tionwas as to what ends those who have
all these years manipulated the depart
ment would have the cffrontery to go,
and therefore what action the governor
might be required to take ere he could
take these first steps necessary to re-
organize and habiitate an utterly dis
credited branch of the public service.
