Arctic Explorer and His Companions
Massncred by Esl<imos shortly At
ter Balloon AIighted.
Chicago, July 5.-A special to the
Record Herald from Winnipeg, Mani
~toba, says:
Rev. DR.. Ferries, a Church of Eng
land clergyman, arrived from York
factory, Northwest British Territory,
to-day and brings authentic Informal
ton of the fate of Explorer Andre
and his companions.
Two years ago, 1900 miles north of
York, a party of Eskimos under the
leadership of "Old Huskie," saw the
Andre balloon light on plane of snow
in that vicinity. which is about two
miles north of Fort Churchill Three
men emerged from the balloon,
and some of "Huskie's" peo-
pie approached them out of
curiosity. AS they did so,
one of Andres party fired a gun. This
is a signal to uncivilized natives for
battle. 1t was regarded as a chal-
lenge, and almost instantly the ma
tives fell upon the three explorers and
massacred them. Everything pertain
ing to their outfit was carried to the
homes of the natives on the borders
of the Arctic region

LORD SALISBURY TO RETIRE.
EngIand's Premier Only Waits for
Coronation to Conclude His Public
Service.

EngIand's Premier Only Waits for
Coronation to Conclude His Public
Service.
London, July Sat the earliest pos
sible moment Lord Salisbury contem-
plates retiring from public life. But
that severance from the affairs of the
empire which he has so long admins
tered is not likely to come until after
the coronation and it may posi-
bly, be still further delayed
by now unseen reasons of state, or pol
itics. During the last few months the
premier has more and more detached
himself from the cares of office. With
increasing age his dislike of publicity
and dread of details which high Of
ficeholding involves have been
strengthened into an antipathy so
strong as to render even the Conserv-
alive leaders less importunate in their
demands that he remain premier.
Those who recently have been
brought into contact with the
aged statesman privately comment on
his observation-disclosures which is only
overcome by great effort when it is
absolutely necessary for him to deliv-
er a public utterance on a question of
importance. Peace in South Africa
having been procured Lord Salisbury is
said to consider the browning of the
King as the moment when his services
to the nation may most fifty be ended.

Mr.. Chamberlain's Reply.

London, July 5.-The reply of the
colonial secretary. Joseph Chamber
lain, to the petition for the suspension
of the constitution of Cape Colony,
was published in a parliamentary pa
per this evening 1t says there is no
precedent for the suspension of the
constitution of a reponsibly governed
colony. The suspension could be eff
fected only by an act of the imperial
parliament, and the government be-
lieves such step is not called for I'M
less it is proven that the constitution
is a positive danger to the colony's
peace or that great majority of
whites desire that the authority be
completely transferred to the impe-
rial government. Such a desire could
only be constitutionally expressed by
a resolution of the Cape Parliament.

Children in Open Surrey in
DrenchinG Rain.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 5.-President
Roosevelt arrived here at SIG this
afternoon and was given a very cor
dial welcome. When the train APP

Island Railroad, every whistle of the
village, through a pre-arranged sig
nal, was set going. and the old friends
and associates of the President gath
cred on the platform to extend their
greetings. When he alighted they
completely surrounded him and for a
time prevented his children, Kermit,
Ethel and Archie, who had been await
ing his coming. from getting to him.
When finally they did so, he embraced
them in a manner that gave unmis-
taxable evidence of his delight at be-
ing home. Mrs. Roosevelt did not
come to the depot, but Assistant Sec
rotary Loeb was there. After eX-
changing greetings with his friends
and neighbors the President entered
an open surrey with his three chill
dren and started in a violent rain
and thunderstorm for Sycamore
Hill" Neither he nor the children
seemed any the worse for their drench-
ing.
During the journey from Pittsburg
to Oyster Bay the President frequent
ly spoke of how glad he was at the
prospect of being with his family and
escaping to considerable extent
many of the official cares which had
constantly beset him in Washington.
The trip from Pittsburg was without
particular incident. The President was
compelled to make one speech, at Lam
caster, where, in response to calls for
Teddy" he appeared on the rear plat
form and spoke briefly, saying he was
glad to be greeted and knew his hear
ers would be glad that he was going
back to his family for a holiday. The
enthusiasm over the Presidents APP
pearance was very great.
AT Philadelphia he remarked to a
friend:

Rochester, N. Y, July 5.-The State
Industrial School was the scene last
night of mutiny, in the course of
which one boy was shot and three es-

The riot was started while the off
GERS and many visitors were watching
a display of fireworks. A number of
boys succeeded in climbing to the roof
of the drill room, whence they hoped
to drop outside TIE stone wall which
surrounds the school. When their
presence. on the roof was discovered
vigorous attempts were made to dis
lodge them. The officers were met
with volleys of stones, bricks and
pieces of iron torn from the roof of
the drill hall.
One of the officers procured a shot
gun, loaded, 1t is said, with bird shot.
This he fired at Che mutineers and
wounded by mistake one of the in
mates who was trying to capture the
mob. This was Clever, who was shot
in the temple, but probably will re-

Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
