his chief lientenants opposed the bill

Beyeridge and the Republican leaders
in the Senate was equally plain. Ari-
zona owes nothing to the Republican
party and even the Republican leaders
would have contempt for the people of

CHICAGO H.. July 15.-Eight hun
dred police were held In reserve this
morning at the down town Stations or
at the railroad warehouses In antici-
patton of possible attempt to raise
the embargo on freight occasioned by
the freight handlers strike and the
sympathetic walk out of the teamsters.
The situation is regarded as even
more serious than yesterday, as the
failure OF the conferences scheduled for
today is believed to mean that the
merchants. who are suffering over a
million dollars loss every day OF the
strike would assume a determined at
titude and attempt to take the freight
from the railroad warehouses with
their own trucks.

SINGULAR ARCTIC TRAGEDY.
and Family Who, Five Centuries
Apart, Chose the Same Field.

One of the most extraordinary coin
.idences> ever recorded occurred re-
.ently in Italy, states the New York
Herald
When the Due d'Abruzzi went on
his expedition to the north pole he
look with him among others Lieut..
Querini, Venetian gentleman of an
Sd and noble family. His work over,
the due returned, but the lieutenant
was not with him, for through an &C
.ident he had lost his life in the arctic
regions.
Now at the very time when this ac-
sident occurred, professor of the
technical school in Trieste, while rum
maging in the archives of that city,
discovered a manuscript, bearing the
date 1901, and containing an account
Of a journey, which one Pierre Querini
took in 1431 to the arctic regions.
Querini is not a common name and a
little investigation showed that this
Pierre Querini was a direct ancestor
of the Pierre Querini who lost his life
in the arctic seas few months ago.
Pierre Querini," says the old man
uscript, SAILED from Gambia for Elan
ders on board vessel loaded with
merchandise and precious stones.
When he arrived in Flanders he sold
his cargo and started for the arctic
regions. A storm forced him to aban-
don his ship and to take refuge with
his crew in two barks. The wind then
carried them to the coast of Norway,
but on January o, 1882, Pierre Querini
was again shipwrecked near the Lo-
foden islands, in 20 degrees north
latitude and almost all his compan-
ions were drowned"
| For some time it was supposed that
he, too, had been drowned, but in JAN
uary, 1888, he appeared in Venice, with
ten companions, these being the only
survivors of his original crew of rs
men. It seems that he succeeded in
| gaining the shore after the others had
been drowned, and then slowly made
his way home through Denmark and
| Germany.
Though these two Pierre Querinis,"
says French writer, "are separated
from each other by five centuries, we
find the same destiny at work in the
case of each. Nay, is it not possible
that the adventurer of the fifteenth
century, desiring to enjoy once more
the exciting days of his youth, actu-
ally became incarnated as a hero of
the twentieth century?"

tho, dryly, land she learned early to
have her wishes carried into fact.
1t was notorious that before she had
grown to Is years she ruled not only
the women of the household, but
Zaemon also, and the province that
was beyond Zaemon."
"Zaemon was learned" said, land
a devout follower of the gods, and
searcher into the higher mysteries;
but, as ruler, he was always q
f1abby fellow"
Il do not say that opportunities
have not come ~usefully in Phoren-
ices way, but she had genius as
well. For her to have raised her
self at all from what she was, was
remarkable. Not one woman out of
a thousand, placed as she was, would
have grown to be aught higher than
a mere wife of some sturdy country
man, who was sufficiently simple to
care nothing for pedigree. But look
at Phorenice: it was her within to
take exercise as man-at-arms and
practice with all the utensils of war;
and then, before anyone quite knows
how or why it happened, rebellion
had broken out in the province. and
here was she, slip of a girl, leading
Zaemon's troops"
"Zaemon. when l knew him, was a
mere derision in the field
Hear me on. Phorenice put down
the rebellion in mastery fashion. and
gave the conquered a choice between
sword and service. They fell into
her ranks at once, and were faithful

Tatho frowned still. eff 1 did not

The Runaway Star

Recent determinations of the mo-
ton of the celebrated runaway star,
1880 Groombridge, by Prof. Campbell,
of the Lick observatory, show that that
singular object is approaching the
earth at the rate of SO miles per Sec
ond, or more than three times the We
locity of the earth in it's orbit about
the sun. Unless it changes its course,
however, it will never get near the
solar system, because it's velocity of
motion across our line of sight
amounts to no less than $50 miles per
second. Its velocity in a straight line
is sufficient to carry it across the dis
lance separating the sun from the
nearest fixed star, Alpha Centauri, in
about 5000 years.
