Sydney, N. S., Sept. 19.-The Peary
Arctic club relief steamer Windward,
with Lieutenant G. E. Peary on board.
arrived here during the day from Cape
Sabine. All on board are we'll. Lieu
tenant Peary said:
t"Our expedition did not reach the
North pole but we made most impor-

well and glad to get back to civiliza-

He recovered and brought back the
instruments and library abandoned Ly
the Greeley expedition. He also
brought numerous and rare specimens
of natural history. Lieutenant Peary
sent to the Arctic club the following
report of the operations of the eXpedi-

coast, Aug 29. The party reached
Payer harbor Sept. 16, crossing Roose

Washington, Sept. 19.-China is on
the verge of another boxer uprising
which may equal that of 1900, accord
ing to mail advices received at the
state department from Minister Con-
ger, dated last month. The troubles
appear to arise principally from eX-
tortionate taxation combined with re-
sentiment against the presence of mis-
sionaries, thus justifying the judgment
of the department of state, which
pointed out to the powers that the de-
mand for excessive indemnities would
result in serious internal troubles in
China.
Mr.. Conger's first advice bears date
of Aug. 6, from Peking, and he reports
serious anti-foreign riots near Chentu,
ir. the province of SEE Chuan, in which
a number of native Christians had
been massacred and chapels destroyed.
Mr.. CongeT appears to have acted with
energy upon telegraphic complaints
from DR.. Canright, an American med
ical missionary at Chentu, not only ad-
dressing tie Chinese foreign Office by
letter but calling there in person to
impress Upon the Officials
the Importance Of immediate and eff
fective action and finally succeeding
in causing the removal of the local
Chinese officials, who had failed to re-
press the riots and preserve life and
property
Mr. Conger incIoses with his report

tween himself DR.. Canright and the
foreign Office. Under date of June 20,

MEETS BRITISH APPROVAL.
Protest of United States Against Treat
nent of Jews.

London, Sept 19.-The United
States initiative in protesting to the
countries which are parties to the
treaty of Berlin of 1878 against the
treatment of Jews in Roumania meets
with approval here. The Globe, how
ever, the only afternoon newspaper
which comments on Secretary Hays
note on the subject, sees nothing in
Mr.. Hays action but self-interest. The
Globe nevertheless hopes that it will
lead to check being placed, on the
wholesale expectation Of undesirable
persons from Eastern Europe to Great
Britain and America.
Washington, Sept. 19.-Secretary
Hay has sent a letter of appeal to the
powers for the double purpose of pro-
tecting the long-suffering Jews of the
Balkan states and Of averting the very
present danger of immigration into
the United States of a horde of pau
pers.
The appeal takes the form Of state
paper dispatched in identical form to.
every ambassador and minister of the
United States residing in one of the
European countries parties to the
famous Berlin treaty of 1878.
The fearful miseries of the 100000
Jews in Roumania is called atten-
tion to.

TWO AGREE TO MARRY THERE,
Offer of Lion Show May Soon Be
Accepted.

The cfer made by the Americas lodge
of Elks and the manager ofthe Bostock
trained animal show may be produc-
tive Of 8 wedding inside the lion cage
ere the week ends. Such was the re-
port yesterday.
In fact, two men have approached
Manager Miller very seriously upon
the subject.
And the first one Of these who will
induce lady to accompany him in
side the barred Enclosure while the
ceremony is performed will be all the
Weather thereby.
The Times-Recorder told yesterday
all about the proposition.
This is, that cash purse of 500 and
suit of furniture costing $50 will be
presented to the couple who, with the
lion tanner, would stand within the in
closure while the preacher outside did
the rest.
A sedate but handsome old bachelo:
member of the cotton fraternity, with
matrimonial aspirations, denied the
statement that he had consented to
such a ceremony.
He fears there will be enough of the
lion in the game afterwards.
Such banters have been accepted by
young couples, and it would surprise
no one If Manager Miller and the Elks
had to make good their offer this week.
A great crowd would witness the
novel wedding.
In the meanwhile crowds of people
go to see the trained animals.

HE FIGURES ON FIGURE SEVEN
Americus Man Who Tells Strange
Story.

There is a well known citizen of
Americas in whose life the figure :
plays an important part
In fact st stands outvery prominent
ly in his career.
For instance, he was first married at
the age of %. Thus 7777 -four sevens)
make that number.
His wife died at the end of the 7th
year of their married lite.
He remained a widower just years
when he married again. This second
wife lived years.
Thus, the figure played star part
up to that time.
But this was not all; there were just
z children born as the fruits of these
two marriages.
Thus, if counted, it will be seen that
the figure shows up 9 times in his
career.
Multiply Z by and we have his exact
age at this date, which is sixty-three
years.
He has, for years past, been wild
over, and will marry again.
This gentlemen lives in Americas
and will verify this rather remarkable
statement.
Now who will say that Z is not q
