Lloyd Kellogg, the herder, and two

their evening meal when three masked
men presented themselves at the door
Of the herCkrs' cabin and ordered the
men to throw UP their hands. They did
so when they saw gun pointed at
them. They Were bound by the mask
ed men and ordered to remain quiet
and not TO leave the cabin.
Mrs. Irving said to-day:
Il think our loss will reach $4,000 I

IBERIA, Harry De Windt of the London
Express. is ready 10 report that rail-
way practically connecting the eastern
and western hemispheres is a feasible
project.
Mr.. De Windt left Paris December
18th last and arrived at Seattle by way
of Bebring straits. the Yukon, Dawson
and Skagway, yesterday afternoon on
the steamer City of Topeka. His party
encountered great perils from hunger
and colds and attribute to the presence
of Americans in northern waters the
fact that they are again in civilized
country The party consists of Mr..
De Windt. Viscount de Clinchamp
Bellegarde, George Harding, who has
been with the leader OF the expedition
on many Journeys in the last sixteen
years, and Stephen Rastorugyen,
Cossack
The expedition from which the party
is returning was undertaken at the in
stance of Alfred ]. Pearson, owner of

tons. who wished 10 have a representa-

been accomplished. Mr. De Windt as
serts that the overland journey was
much more hazardous and difficult
than he expected. and that he would
decline the trip again.
De Wiudt left the Trans Siberian
railway at 1rkutsk. From there a
course almost directly north was fol-

but none but Russians are permitted
to mine it. Much of this part of the
"trip was made behind reindeer. Near
the mouth of the river dogs We're pro-
cured. and they hauled the four men
the remainder of the way TO Cape East.
The country trayersed was covered
to depth of several feet with snow,
the road was untrayeled and rough.
and dangers luFked at almost every
turn. The members of the expedition
were treated with kindness, but in
many places the natives We're suffering
from famine and disease and could do
little if anything for their visitors.
MANY prosperous clles EXIST on tne
map, along the route which the leader
of the party had selected. When these
points We're reached nothing but few
scattered huts and half a dozen wretch
ed natives We're all that remained of
their greatness. The people of all the
northern part of the continent have
been attracted TO the coast nearest
America, as there they can trade with
the American whalcrs and subsist more
easily than in their inland towns and
villages.
For several hundred miles directly
east of BehrinS straits, Mr. De Windt
found many settlements of the natives,
and here lie found food and assistance.
Had he not met the Siberians here. he
believes he could never have reached
Bering straits, and so his rescue is
due TO American traders.

Through the United States charge of
embassy at st. Petersburg. Mr.. Riddle,
the State Department has just received
copy of the Russian note touching
upon trusts, which has excited 90
much comment in Europe. This note,
which takes the form of q circular,
was identical and was handed In St,
Petersburg to the representatives of all
the powers that participated In the
Brussels sugar conference, and, In ad-
ditiOn to Mr.. Riddle for transmission
to his government Mt Washington. Just
why this was done, In view OF the fact
that the United States govern ment was
not represented at the Brussels con-
ference can only be conjectured, and 1t
h supposed that II was supplied as q
matter Of information and a. q cour-
tesy. Certain 1t Ia that On the present
view the United States executive can
not participate In such q conference
az 1t described, even II there were no
other objections. From perusal OF
the note, which rs In of{,cial print, It
appears that its reference to trusts.
which are rather incidental and alter.
native In character, have attracted the
principal share OF public attention al
though fhe whole note appears to be
framed ms an argument In suupert OF
the Russian system Of regulating "a.
