BACK FROM THE NORTH.
Peary Failed to Find the Pole. But
Says He Gained knowledge.

North Sidney. n. s. Sept. l9.-The
Windward arrived here from the north
at a. m. with Lieutenant Peary and
DR.. Diedrichs on board. Although he
failed to reach the pole, Lieutenant
Peary says that he has made scientific
discoveries in the Arctic regions OF
greater importance than the discovery
OF the pole would be.
The Peary exploring party. while it
did not reach as far north as some OF
its predecessors. obtained an accurate
knowledge OF the geographical condi-
tions in the region visited. which is the
field over which most OF the recent ex-
poring parties have attempted to travel.
Much information was gained regarding
the passes to the northward. Peary
claims that while his progress was less
than he had expected. he has acquired
fresh knowledge OF the country which
will almost insure success az the next
effort
Soaking OF the general result. Pearv
said to the waiting newspaper men;
my last dash for the pole was very
successful. | reached latitude much
further north than SO degrees and p
minutes. which was my former record.
All OF my party are in excellent health
except Mrs Peary, who has been i'll for
a fortnight. She is now recovering.

WRECKED A BANK
MAN WITH A BOMB AT SkAGWAY,
ALASKA
Demanded Twenty Thousand Dollars
of Canadian Bank of Commerce.
Clerks Escaped. and in Carry
ing Out Threat WOuld.be Rob-
ber Was Horribly Mangled.

Skagway, Alaska, Sept. 1S.-At 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon an unknown
man walked into the Canadian Bank of
Commerce. a revolver in one hand and
a nitro-glycerine bomb in the other,
and demanded 5000 or threatened
to blow all to eternity.
Cashier Pooley and Teller Wallace
were the only two in the bank. Wal
lace ducked to get his gun and ran
quickly to the back OF the room, yell
ing for Pooley to do the same.
"No you DON'T yelled the man, and
dropped the bomb.
The two clerks had by this time got
ten out of a rear window. The bank
room was wrecked. the unknown had
his head smashed and one arm torn off
hole was torn in the right wall OF the
clear across the street, and money was
scattered to the four winds. The side
of the building bulged ont. and furni-
ture in the living rooms over the bank
was tumbled around. the occupants be-
ing blown into the air from the concus-
sion. Windows for blocks were broken.
The fire bell was Immediately rung.
The soldiers responded and Captain
Summerall took charge.
The dynamiter was taken to the hos
pital. where he died late in the night
without regaining consciousness. No
papers were found on his body to reveal
his identity. and there was only 81 80
on his person. Marshall Shook has ar
rested six men who have been seen
with the dead man since he came here
last Saturday from Dawson.
At the inquest il was brought out
that the man fired two shots at Wal
lace, one of which is believed to have
set the bomb off.
The bank possibly lost about a thou
sand dollars, chiefly in gold dust, which
was lying on the counter in pokes
which were scattered about. The bank
resumed business in the morning. al
though there is no front to the build
ing. The marshal is still rounding up
suspicious characters. A great many
are here from Dawson who are known
to have been on the woodpile there for
crime.
Cashier Pooley is a son OF Hon. Pool
ey of Victoria. Manager Lay OF the
bank is absent at White Horse.

FORESTS NOT HURT.
Damage BY Fire Did Not Extend to
Wooded Lands.

Seattle. Sept. l9.-Railroal officials
and lumbermen say that the recent
forest fires have not seriously affected
the standing timber OF this state. 1t is
estimated by these authorities that the
loss to Washington through the destruc-
tion OF timber will be less than per
cent.
In the aggregate this is a small sum.
but il does not take into consideration
the loss 10 individual settlers who had
made extensive improvements and were
good customers OF the railroads through
the shipments they made over the reg
ular lines. The logged off lands. it is
pointed ont. are more easily affected by
forest fires and a better opportunity for
their spread exists in districts which
have been gene over by lumbermen
than in the forests Of the state.

NO COMPROMISE
Mine Operators Say Their Original
PropositiOn is Their Only One.

New York, Sept. IA conference
OF the leading anthracite coal interests
has been held at the Philadelphia and
Reading company's office. The precise
subjects of the conference could not be
learned but it was stated in advance of
the meeting that no concessions would
be granted. and that recent events OF
a semi-political character would not be
seriously considered.
Following meeting with j 7. Nor
gan, John Markle made this statement
II do not think it necessary to re-
peat that all talk OF concessions on the
part OF the operators is foolish and
without foundation. Our position now
is the same as when Mitchell made his
original proposition. and no different
than when the strike began.
1--WE said tina. we would make no
concessions and we repeat it now
There is no reason why this should not
be understood. Tie operators have
shown that they mean it, and | repeat
it only by way OF emphasis. There is
just one way to end the strike-bv the
men returning to work. and every day
they remain away by giving willing ear
to Mitchell's specious promises will
only entail further loss and suffering to
them. Conditions are improving daily;
more men are returning to work and
more coal is being mined.
$50 far as recent attempts at settle
ment are concerned. it is only nececs-
sary to add that every effort. IRON Sem
ator Hanna down. has been futile.
We have defined our position and will
maintain it,

ENGLISH SUBSIDIES
A Parliamentary Inquiry on Ocean
Traffic.. 70.

London, June 12.-George Renwyck, con-
servative member OF parliament for New
castle -on-Tyre and a shipowner, testifyine
to-day before the parliamentary subsidies
committee in behalf of the owners OF
tramp steamships, objected to the govern
me1t subsidizing the great liner instead Of
subsidizing cargoes. He said the foreign
competition which he most feared was the
American. The transfer of British ships tt
foreigners was absurdly simple. All the ships
in the American combine could be transferred
to the United States within quarter Of ar
hour and at the cost only of. a few stamps.
Mr.. Renwick, when asked If he thought the
American ship subsidy bill would be dropped
in consequence of the Morgan shipping com
bine, replied that, on the contrary. he hat
good reason to believe it would be pressed on
One Of the most important points in con-

wick pointed out, was the fact that the SELL
ers were precluded for a number of years
