LOST IN BAY OF FUNDY,
Only Four Survivors to Tell of the
MOnticellO's Wreck.

YARMOUTH, n. s., Nov. 12.-The
shore of this county for ten miles east
and west Is strewn with wreckage of the
hull and cargo of the steamer City of
Monticello, which foundered Saturday
morning, and % bodies of victims of the
disaster have been recovered from the
sea, which is still raging with terrific
fury. Many people have assembled at
Rockville, near where the first body
came ashore, and numerous relatives of
members Of the crew, who nearly all be-
ionged to points on this coast, have ar
rived to identify the dead.
The first body was found at daylight.
when the zinc lifeboat which was sup
posed by the survivors of the first boa I
to have been swamped was discovered on
the shore.
The fury Of the surf is simply appalling
in this region.
The total number of people who were
on board is now placed at 40.
The four survivors are Captain Smith.
a passenger; Third Officer Fleming, Quar-
termaster Wilson and Stewardess Smith
The place where the Monticello struck
is at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy.
where the waters of the bay join those Of
the Atlantic. There are many reefs and
shoals at this spot, and the currents are
many and changeable, it being one of the
most dangerous places on the coast. The
gale kicked up tremendous sea, and at
the time the vessel struck the waves were
beating upon the rocks and sending spray
hundreds of feet over the land.

EXPLORERS RETURN.
Arctic Scientific Expedition Secures
Important fnfortna tion.

EDINBURGH, Nov. 1O.-1t now ap.
pears that DR.. Leopold Kann is the only
member of his party of arctic scientific
exploration who arrived at Dundee on
the whaler Eclipse from Davis strait.
DIR. Robert Stein OF the United States
geological survey decided at the eleventh
hour not to come to Scotland, but to
awaitethe first opportunity of being land
ed on the American side. Mr.. Samuel
Warmbath of Boston preferred to remain
at Cape Sabine for time.
In an interview DIR. Kann gave some
interesting details regarding the Peary
and Sverdrup expeditions.
Lieutenant Peary's party" he said,
passed the winter at Etah. on Smiths
sound. near the spot where DR.. Hayes
had his winter quarters in 1850 and not
far from the scene of the Grecly disaster
In February and March of this year Fort
Magnesia, our winter house ut Bedford,
on Pym island, was thrice visited by the
members of his expedition. On the first
occasion Dr. Hansen's party came, on the
second party under DIR. D0derick and
later Lieutenant Peary himself in com
mand of a sledging party.
He reported that about ten months
previously he had met Sverdrup in the
Kane basin, north of Smiths sound.
From conversations / elected that some
feelng had been engendered between
Lieutenant Peary and Sverdrup, the for
mer rather resenting what he considered
the latter's intrusion into ground which,
Tor exploring purposes, the American was
inclined to regard as his own.
Sverdrup's party had thoroughly ex-
plored the Ellesmere hintcrland, mapping
out region that was hitherto blank
on the charts. Many of Sverdrup's flags
were seen by us.
In the course of our hunting expedi-
tons in this great tract of country guam
titles of musk oxen were found on what
seemed to be old and established feeding
grounds.
when the Peary and Sverdrup parties
separated. Sverdrup's understood inten-
ton was to explore the vast area of land
and water in and around Jones' sound be-
yond Cape Eden. | believe Sverdrup,
on the Fran, is now wintering in Jones'
sound, and my opinion, which is backed
by that of the Dundee whalers is that il
will be impossible for the Fran to come
home this year. The autumn has been
very tempestuous. and the ice was such
as TO render navigation next to impossi-
ble
Il am certain that Lieutenant Peary is
now wintering at Fort Conger. When
/ left Cape York on the Eclipse June 8,
the Windward was expected to touch
there about the middle OF July, where or
ders from Lieutenant Peary which / had
brought were left with the Eskimos."

THE PRESIDENT AT EOMi..
an Index to Simplicity of
Our Public Life.

The use of the front door of the
white house tells an impressive story
of the simplicity of our republican
form of government In and out this
one portal go the president and his
family; the ladies of fashion who
call upon the presidents wife: the
copyists, telegraphers and messengers
who are employed in the clerical work
OF the executive mansion, and they
number score; the office kers and
all visitors to the white house on
business; parties of tourists on their
way to see the historic East room;
and the ambassadors of foreign mon
archs going to present their creden-
tials to the president of the United
States.
In the palace Of "a European mon
arch there would be several entrances.
Inc public would have one door, the
family another, and the diplomatists
third.
Inc only attempt made at the
whlte house to secure privacy for
the president and his wife, says the
1outh's Companion, is this: When
they enter or depart, two of the
guards about the door quietly take
places at the head of the. little fight
OF steps which lead up to the portico.
and hold the public back a few sec
onds, while the president and wife
step out to the carriage or go in
from It, Usually little bevy of peo-
PIE collects to see the president pass
so near and to them he always bows
cordially.
Inside the door it is expected that
no one will accost the president while
walking to and from his private onort-
ments' But there is nothing to bre-
vent one from doing so. Not long ago
a green reporter, who had lust
come to Washington, took this occa-
sion TO approach President Mckinley
and question him upon the issues of
the day The president. recognizing
,he innocence of the intruder. chatted
Pleasantly with him. The next dav
'he young man was warned bv the
guards that he should not do so again.
Even president must occasionally
nave few minutes to himself.

CHINESE ANTIPATHIES.
They Are Based Upon Some Ancient
and Very Powerful
Causes.

IN should be remembered that the
antipathy of Chinese to foreigners
from the west has several very an
cient and very powerful causes, says
eX- Minister Angel in Atlantic.
Profound differences of belief and
OF temperament separate the Asiatics
generally by wide chasm from the
Europeans. The golden age of the
former, all their ideals belong to the
remote past. Those of the latter be-
long to the future. Their economic
ideas are far apart. Inventions. ma
ehinery, division of labor, belong to
the Europeans, and are repelled by
the Asiatics. Their religions touch
ing the deepest springs of life are dis
cordant The western man regards
his civilization as so far superior to
that OF the eastern man that he looks
down with certain contempt on him,
contempt which is cherished to the
full by the Tum for "infidel dogs" by
Brahmins Tor the conquerors of India,
by the Chinese for foreign devils"
But the Chinese have special grlev-
ances; the opening of ports and the
imposition of obnoxious treaties on
them by force, the construction of
railways and telegraphs, and the
working of mines in such way as to
disturb the graves of ancestors. and
to interfere with the feng, shut and
thus to bring disaster on the people,
and the presence of the unwelcome
foreigner not only in the ports, but
throughout the interior in the person
of the missionary.
