THE TOUR OF
 MIR. DE WINDT Overland from Paris to
 Alaska. HE TELLS OF HIS TRIP Railway from Europe to
 America Feasible. After Leaving Irtiusk the Exploring Party Met With Many Peril
 ous Adventures-Natives Treated Them Kindly.

Seattle ,WaShn., July 2S.--After travel steppes and frozen mountains of Siberia. Harry de Windt of The London Daily Express, is ready to report that a rail- road practically connecting the eastern and Western Hemispheres is a feasible project.
 MT. De windt left Paris December Is, last, and arrived in Seattle by way of Boring Sraits, the Yukon, Dawson and Skagway this afternoon in the steamer City of Topeka
 His party encountered great perils from hunger and cold and attribute to the presence of Americans in northern waters the fact that they are again safe in a civilized country.
 The party consists of Mir. DeWindt, viscount de Ciinchamp Beiaarde, George Harding, who has been with the leader of the expedition on many journeys in the last sixteen years, and Stephan Rastorugieff. a Cossack. The Cossack will sail at daybreak tomorrow for his native land.
 The expedition from which the party is returning, was undertaken at the tn- stance of A. J. Pearson, owner of The London Express, and two other publica- tions. who wished to have a reporter make the trip by land from Paris to New York. a feat which had not been before accom- plished.
 Journey Was Hazardous.
 Mir. De windt asserts that the overland journey was much more hasaFdobs and difficult than he expected and that he would decline the trip again.
 De Windt left the Trans-Siberian Rail- way at Irtiusk. From there a course al- most directly north was followed to the borders of the Arctic Ocean. The trail was along the Lena River, which is one of the great rivers of the continent of Asia. On the Lena, great find of gold has been made, but none but Russians are permitted to mine 1t. To Cape East the county traversed was covered to depth of several feet with snow. the road was untraveled and rough dangers lurked at almost every turn.
 The members of the expedition were treated with kindness, but in many places the naLlVeS were SuHeIlnB AOhH AdAhaIo and disease and could do little for their visitors. Many prosperous cities exist on the map along the route which the leader of the party had selected. When these points were reached. nothing but few scattered huts and half a dozen wretched natives were found. The people of the northern part of the continent have been attracted to the coast nearest America, as there they can trade with the American whalers and subsist more easily than in their inland towns and villages.
 For several hundred miles directly east of Boring Straits, Mir. DeWindt found many settlements of the natives and here he found food and assistance. Had he not met the Siberians. he believed he could have never reached Boring Straits. and so his rescue is due to American traders.

MONEY ROLLING IN.
Miners Headquarters Converted In-

to a Banking Room.
 Indianapolis, Ind, July &.-The miners headquarters in this city have been con- verted into a banking room and every inch of space Is required to accommo- date the extra force that has been put to work to handle the contributions received since the voting of the assessments on the miners and the appeal for funds was made.
 Secretary Wilson smiled at report from New York that the coal trust has 100000 tons of anthracite coal in re- serve within one days haul of the me- tropolis.
 T have not been East recently and do not know where thls coal can be hidden, said Mir Wilson, but If the operators have got 1t, I hope they will show 1t pretty soon. It would be shame to keep us waiting too long to ind out where this great supply Is.
 Even if that much coal is being held in reserve, 1t would not postpone the time when the market will be exhausted very long, Mir. Wilson declared.
 The usual amount of contributions ar rived at headquarters today, but no rec ord was kept of the total owing to the changes being made in the arrangement of the headquarters. A check from the Alabama district for $1,OOO as its donation to the defence fund was one of the large contributions received.

A member of this family had been killed a week or two prior to this conversation. and this was not SUD- posed to make 1t any more desirable for any white person to fall into Adoys pow CT.

FOR PROTECTION OF MINERS.

Enforcement of Law in Indian Ter
 ritory May Ruin Industry.
 Washington. July 2S-Complaint reaches the Interior Department from mine own CTS in the Indian Territory of the diffi- culty of enforcing the law recently en- acted by Congress for the protection of miners in the territories.
 The law limits shots to be fired in the mines to one per day and the mine in- spector for the Indian Territory has sent a report to the Secretary in which he says that if the law Is literally interpreted the products of some of the mines. which Is now 800 or 1000 tons per day, will be reduced to two or three tons per day. He suggests that the law be construed as if the word 'one' were "once." This change while permitting the usual num- Der of shots, would conf1ne them to a certain period of the day and thus af- ford the desired protection to the mine workers. The suggestion has not yet been taken up for consideration by the Interior Department officials.
