Enselskjoen Not n Fakir.

The report that colony of white
people, apparently of Teutonic stock,
had been found in the interior Of the
island of Mindanao was looked upon as
a clever fable by all newspaper read
ers, but there appears to be reason. to
believe that it is not all a dream. The
author Of the story. Nels Engelskjo
is found to be a remarkably reliable
young man. and is very we'll known to
the United States military authorities
in the Philippines. 1t is on that ac-
count that his story is given so much
credence.
Engelskjoen was born and educated
In Christiania, Norway. He went to
China four years ago, and in time be-
came an agent for buying spices in
Manila. When the war broke out be
rendered the Americans inestimable
service as scout and guide, and re-

Washington, Jam 6. - The senate
committee on privileges and elections
yesterday decided by Il vote of to 3
to make an adverse report upon the
resolution to seat Senator Cray. The
resolution was as follows:
''That Matthew S. Quay be admitted as
a senator from the State of Pennsylvania,
in accordance with his appointment made
on April %, 1882 by the governor of said
state"
The members OF the committee voting
for the resolution were Senators Chand-
Ter. Hoar and McComas, and those OPP
posing Senators Burrows, Caffrey. Pettus
and Harris. Senators Turley and Pritch-
ard were paired, the latter for and the
former against the resolution.
No definite time was set for the pre-
sentation of the committees report to
the senate. The minority will also present
a report and the understanding is that
the minority shall be notified by the ma
jority when it is ready to put in its re-
port Senator Burrows, the only Repub-
lican on the committee who voted against
the resolution, will prepare the report of
the majority, and Senator Hoar that of
the minority.
The clark Case.
Washl gton, Jan. 5.-The senate conf
ruittce on privileges and elections to-day
began its veStigation of charges of
bribery made in connection with the cleo
ton of Serator Clark of Montana The
cceedings were begun by arguments
from counsel on both sides. Mr. Clark
himself was present with his counsel,
former Senator Faulkner of West Vir-
gnia. Senator Edmunds appeared as
leading counsel for the complainants,
making the first statement in support of
the memorial presented against Mr.. Clark
He said the con plainants expected to be
able to Prove all the charges ard to show
that Mr.. Clark's election was obtained
by the liberal use of money, and that
large sums of morey We're furnished to
this end by Clark.
Ex-senator Faulkner made the formal
statement on behalf of Mr.. Clark. He
reviewed the politics of Montana, refer
ring to the "Daly gang and the Clark
faction" in the Democratic politics of the
state. 1t was, he said, an acknowledged
fact that opponents of Mr.. Clark in the
state had determined to prevent his po-
litica preferment, regardless of all the
proprieties. 1t would be shown that not
withstanding that charges were made of
bribery against some fifty persons, in
Guiding thirtyeight members of the legis-
lature, there had been no proceedings
against any of the MEN involved in any of
the Montana courts. This was evidence
that the present proceeding was not sus-
tanned by the public sentiment He con-
tinued:

womb of personal malice, rocked in the
cradle of personal hate and nourished

way, of the railroad from the Gelliyra
iron mines in Swede1, Says the New
York Sun. The, harbor will be about
40 miles north of the arctic circle The
ore docks to be built there will rival
these of Lake Superior in size and con-
venience. The trains laden with ore
will run out upon the quays, the bot
tom Of the cars will be opehet and the
ore will be discharged into great peck
cts on the floor below. The steamships
tied ur at the quays will be loaded in
the sasse way, the floors of the ore
pockets saoping ut such an angle that
when the doors are opened the ore will
be carried by gravitAtion info the holds
Of the vessels. They will be loaded at
the rate Of LOCO tons per hour, and
fifty to eighty men will be able to
handle 100000 tons of ore in a year.
This news is of the greatest interest
to British iron manufacturers. because
Sweden is likely to be their main
source Of iron ore for many years to
come. The mines of Bilbao. Spain,
have long fed the blast furnaces Of
England with much of the iron ore that
country has turned into pig iron. But
the Spanish mines are now almost en-
hausted. ard Sweden is coming to the
front as the source of British supply
The Swedes have no coal with which
to smelt their ore, and they are, there
fore, willing to sell their product
abroad. The most famous center of
their iron mining is Geilivara. not far
from the Baltic, and considerably north
Of the arctic circle. It has an an APP
parently inexhaustible supply Of ore,
and for years a railroad has brought it
down to the Baltic for shipment. But
as this narrow arm of the sea freezes
over in winter, there are only four or
five months navigation in the year, and
the railroad has not been a tirst-rate
success. This is the reason a railroad
is now building from Gellivara across
Sweden and Norway to Ofoten, where
the warm influence Of the gulf stream
drift keeps the fords open the year
round, and so constant supply OF ore
may be forwarded from this new At
