DE WINDT's PROGRESS
Expedition Frost Bitten in Siberia
but Undismayed.

Expedition Frost Bitten in Siberia,
but Undismayed.
London, April 21.-Letters have been
received here from Harry De Windt,. head
of the expedition which is attempting to
make its way overland from Paris to New
York, dated Verkhoyansk, East Siberia,
at the end of February. In spite of the
forebodings Of the authorities of Yakutsk,
who advised Mr.. De Windt against the
attempt, saying the conditions were worse
than ever before, the expedition reached
Verhoyansk, 600 miles north of Yakutsk,
Feb. %.
The expedition had a terrible expert
ence while. crossing the Verkhoyansk
mountains. The cold was intense and all
the travellers were frost-bitten. Other
wise they were we'll and in good spirits,
and were leaving the same day for Sredne
Kolymsk, east Siberia, 900 miles farther
on, which the party hoped to reach about
the middle of March. Then it was their
intention to push on $500 miles to East
Cape on Boring strait. Probably the
next news of the expedition will be its ar
rival in the United States via Boring
strait.

LABOR IN POLITICS
Unions in Connecticut Seek Control
of the State.
SUCCESS IN CITY ELECTIONS

Eew YORK. SusY SpocEaI ScrvEca

New Haven, Conn. April 21.--The we'll
developed movement OF organized
labor to secure political con-
troll of the state will have an
unfavorable effect upon the movement for
constitutional reform. The victories or
Mayors Charters, Mulvihill and Sullivan,
IN Ansonia, Bridgeport and Hartford, have
attracted wide attention. The announce
ment Of John O'Neil and other labor lead
ers that they will take the unions into
state politics this fall and form economic
leagues like the one in Hartford mas
aroused much speculation.
In this city the power of the unions has
been further accentuated by their success

legislation, One or more of these men
have radical ideas relating to the social
conditions. The conservative and manu-
featuring elements are beginning to fear
that the substitution of popular represen-
tation in place of town representation
ct this time may place the legislature
In the hands of labor organizations.
The fear is expressed that legislative
body so controlled will be likely to pro-
duce mass of hostile legislation that will
be serious in its effects on manufacturing
business interests.
The labor men are keenly alive to the
gain they would derive from popular rep
fesentation and are working tooth and nail
to bring it about The New Haven Trades
council has memorialized the constitu-
tional convention and other bodies of la
Dor men are preparing to take the same
course. The fear that the state govern

Dor unions is, in the opinion of very con-
sentative men, not a fancy. Opinion has
been fastened and ripened if not actually
created, by the tremendous increase in thu

LUMBERMEN OBJECT
Seek Protection From Alleged Black
mail of Bogus Settlers.

Washington April 21.--Unexpected OPP
position has developed against the rati-
fication Of the treaty made with the Chip
pewas providing for the cession to the
government of the eleven townships Oh
the western portion of the Red Lake res
ervation. 1t comes from lumbermen OPP
Grating on the Red river. They say that
unless safeguards are provided they may
be held liable for overflow Of lands on
both sides of the river.
The matter has been investigated by the
interior department and the house COM
mittee on Indian affairs. The testimony
before the committee tends to show that
the lands are not subject to overflow.
Further investigation shows that the com
plant of the lumbermen is we'll founded.
Some plan will doubtless be adopted to
protect the lumbermen from what they
term the hlackmail of bogus settlers.
