season forced us on to point where we could get out of the country without our horses. Therefore, it was decided to cross to Mckinley range at the first northerly break in the mountain.
 "Our previous travels had been over the trail made by the geological survey expedition under Brooks last year, but now we travelled over unknown terri tory, marching about 45 miles north ward and swinging eastward in the mountains at every available opportu- nity. We crossed the divide Sept. g over a new pass at an elevation of 5000 feet and camped in the valley of Chul- itna. Our aim was to reach the east ern slope of Mount Mckinley and, on our way out, if the season permitted. to make another attack from that side. A forced march was made down the Chulitna, it being necessary to ford and swim the river many times; but we were compelled to abandon our horses and build rafts 20 miles north of great glacier. The latter afforded the first easterly route to the great mountain peak.
 We explored it and made rapid eX- animation of the eastern slope, but the rapidly approaching winter would not permit of another attempt to climb the mountain, and with much regret we were forced to take to our raft Sept. 2l and to seek the headwaters of Cook inlet, which lay l30 miles to the south. Before us was a journey of 60 miles down the Chulitna river, of which nothing was known as to the possibility of navigation on raft. Considera ble apprehension was felt on this score but the river proved navigable and the ex- petition reached TyOnek in six days.
 ''The net result of the expedition was d march of 600 miles with horses. near ly 400 miles voyage in boats and rafts, the exploration of a good deal of new territory, the discovery of several mountains, glaciers and rivers. The summit of Mount Mckinley was not possible for us but the members of the expedition feel that we did all possible in the short working season of an Alas kan summer. Every member of the party has enjoyed good health and will return directly to the United states.
 Dr. Cook was accompanied on hi, trip by Ralph Shinwald, of Columbia university, and Robert Dunn.

EMPIRE
 FOR NEGROES
M. Lebaudy Would Solve Amer iCan Race Problem in His
 Saharan Empire.

London, Oct. 6.-The secret of NJ. Lebaudys attempt to found an empire in Africa is out. The Daily Mail today asserts that the young French million aire. who is now in London on busi- ness, desires first to obtain the consent of the European powers who claim to have influence over the territory on which he has designs. to establish along the northwest coast of Africa an empire larger than Rhodesia, to be en- titled the United States of Liberia.
 Here, it is alleged, he proposes to found a state peopled by negroes from America, especially from the Southern states, who will receive grants of land and be encouraged to found country of their own. If NJ. Lebaudy obtains all the territory he desires he will have country rich in minerals, India rubber and coffee.

Still Remains a Terra IncOgnitO to CIimberS--The Cook
 Expedition.

New York, Oct. 3.-An attempt made by Dr. Frederick A. Cook, of Brooklyn, to scale Mt. Mckinley, in Alaska, has failed. pr. Cook, accompanied by two or three other men, among them a Col umbian university student, left this city several months ago, and no news of the expedition had been received until to- day, when the following cablegram, signed by the leader of the party, was received by the Associated Press:
 "Valdez. Alaska, Oct. 2.-The assault upon Mount Mckinley resulted in our making an altitude of II, 1000 feet on the southwestern side. At this point we were stopped by an impossible granite slope which extended 1000 feet above us. We searched the entire western side of the mountain for route to the summit which might offer a prospect of success. but no opportunity was found, and the ascent of the mountain from the western slope seems practi- cally yimpossib On Sept. signs of win ter already were far advanced and al though we should have liked to search the northwestern ridge as well as Mul- drow glacier, the rapidly advancing

AUTHORITIES AT
 SKACWAY CLASH
Municipal Officials Claim Right to Deal With Gambling and
 Other MiSdemeanOrS.

As was to have been expected, a clash has occurred between the federal and municipal authorities at Skagway, and is likely to occur in the other incorpor- ated towns where municipal magis- trates have been elected and installed. The municipal authorities claim the right to deal with the gamblers and keepers and inmates of houses of ill., fame, which right is denied by the fed eral authorities and there you are
 The Mining Journal ventures the opinion that the amendment to the criminal code giving the common coun- cils of incorporated towns and cities the power to declare by ordinance what shall constitute misdemeanor, will be held not to extend to any of the public otfenses so declared by the code itself and for which penalties are therein prescribed, but only to offenses not named therein. Certainly a common council cannot declare that to be mis- demeanor which is already made such by the criminal code itself, and vary one way or the other the penalty pre- scribed by the code: hut were it to do so, fixing precisely the same penalty, its municipal court could exercise juris- diction by sutferance of the higher authority only, or, as the Skagway Alaskan indirectly suggests, by permls- sion of the U. 5. district judge. The amendment which authorizes the cleo tion of municipal magistrates in Alaska, is only another variety of the Dead sea fruit which Alaska is expected to feed upon and be truly grateful. -Ketchikan 1 Mining Journal.

EXTRA SESSION
 OF CONGRESS
Which Will Open Next Tuesday Wilt Be Devoted to Cuban
 Reciprocity Treaty.

Washington, Oct. S.-Senator Hans brough, who is in New York for few days, was interviewed on the business of the extra session there yesterday, and said:
 "The extra session of congress will be devoted chiefly to a consideration of the subject of Cuban reciprocity, a matter in which the people of the West are deeply interested. Of course other questions may be taken up. The finance committee members will meet the latter part of the present month, and it may then be determined whether anything in the line of tinan- cial legislation will be submitted at the extra session. Undoubtedly one thing will be accomplished-th of organiz- ing committees of the two houses for the regular session.
 "Yes, I have read Chamberlain $ Glasgow speech, and am sure it could be reproduced by republican spell binders in the campaign next year as an adequate argument for the policy of protection. It might be wise to engage the Englishman to take the stump for the republican national ticket. He certainly makes strong protection Speech.n

CHARGES
 OF FRAUD Are Made Against Steel Magnate SChwab. LATTER A WRECKER Receiver of United States Ship. building Company Makes
 Ugly Accusations.
LATTER A WRECKER

New York, Oct. G.-James Smith, re- ceiver of the United States Shipbuild- ing Company, has filed his answer to the actions recently instituted in the | United States circuit court against the company and himself as receiver. by the Mercantile Trust Company and the New York Security X Trust Company, the former to forccluee it's mortgage as trustee for per cent mortgage bond issue of 1l6. 00G,00O and the latter to foreclose its mortgage, also as trustee, on a bond issue of $l0,O0O000.
 In this answer Mr. Smith accuses Charles M. Schwab, D. Leroy Dresser, Lewis Nixon, John $. Hyde, Charles R. Hanscom, 1. NJ. Scott, Charles J. Canda, Horace W. Gaus and John W. Young, promoter, of the United States Shipbuilding Company, of fraudulent practices in the formation of the Ship building Company.
 Specifically, Mr.. Smith alleges that the Bethlehem Steel Company's works, worth not more than S1,2O0, GOO to Sl0.- 00o,000, was brought into the United states Shipbullding Company on, the basis of S3O.000, ,000, the transactions being fraudulent and to the great in- jury of the creditors, bOndholders and stockholders of the Shipbuiding Com pany. Mr. smith further charges that the shares that the Shipbuilding Com pany issued in eTecting this transac- tiOn constituted full payment for the stock of the Steel Company. and that the bonds mentioned in the complaint were therefore issued without consid- the mortgage given to secure the bonds is likewise null and void: that Nr. Schwab. in receiving the bonds and stock, became justly indebted to the Shipbuilding Company in the sum of S20, GOO, ,00O.
 It is also alleged that the persons acting as directors of the defendant company were not qualified to act as such, not being bona tide holders of stock in the Shipbuilding Company.
 The answer of Receiver Smith next contends that Mr. Schwab and his as- sociates, to further defraud the defend ant company, cOnspired with the di- rectors of the company to insert cer- tain provisions in the charter to enable them to control it's affairs and to ac- quire it's property at less than it's true value.
 Charges are also made that Mir Schwab caused the Shipbuilding Com pany to default in it's interest, forcing it's insolvency, thereby wrecking it and enabling Mr. Schwab and his associates to acquire it's assets. It is charged likewise that Mr. Schwab and his as socates, acting in collision with "a so-called reorganization committee, caused the interest to be withheld, by refusing to permit the directors to meet, whereby funds might have been secured from some other source to meet the outstanding obligations.

- MINNESOTA Is FIFTH
Her Place Among U. S. Universities
in Point Of Numbers. 49,

According to the statistics OF educa-
ton in the New York World Almanac the
University Of Minnesota in numbers ranks
fifth among the universities Of the United
States. At the close of the year 1902 the
total enrolment was 3,700--about. $50 less
than in 1901. The numbers of students in
the five largest universities in order are
Columbia, Abb; Chicago, 1850; Harvard,
1926; Michigan, $500, and Minnesota,
$500. These numbers do not include any
Of the graduate departments. If such de-
partments were considered Harvard
would hold first place, 49,.
The cause for the decline at Minnesota
is considered to be the raising Of re-
quirennents for registration In the med
ical department. This year the first year
class in medicine has only forty mem
bers against $50 last year. It was ex-
pected, however, that tho lowering Of re-
quirements in the dental school would
balance the registration but as no more
students can be taken in that department
this year, the registration for the present
school year will remain low. The next
semester begins on Jan. 81. and at that
time there will be seventy students ready
| for work in the operating room and there
are only chairs for, forty. In case the
| legislature does not grant funds for a new
building the requirements will have to be
1 raised to the old standard.

J.: ARCHBISHOP PROTESTS
Against Removal of the Passionist
f. Fathers From Paris

Archbishop Ireland, according to a re-
port from st. Paul, has been exerting
himself to prevent dispersal Of the Eng
lish Passionist Fathers at Paris, a Cath
olic congregation whose removal from
their present establishment has been
threatened because Of their illegal refusal
to obey the new French laws governing
religious societies.
The archbishop is said to have informed
M. Delcasse, the French minister OF for
eign affairs, that the dispersal Of the Pas
sionist Fathers would be viewed with
repugnance and horror by all sections OF
the American people," and would be re-
garded here as q needless and wanton
act OF religious persecution utterly alb
horent to American IDEAS" =
The archbishop's protest is believed tc
have been seconded by General Horace
Porter, the American amba ssador at Paris
and by Sir Edward Monsoon, the British
ambassador. =

Professor Ernest F. Fenollosa's Gen

Art delivered last evening under the au-
spices of the Minneapolis Society Of Fine
Arts was full Of revelations to his audi
ence. The appreciation Of oriental art
has certainly been increased by the lee
turers enthusiastic presentations Of the
subject 't-. :.
Examples Of the art Of the orient and
the occident were thrown on the screen
side by side to illustrate the conclusions
Of the lecturer that instead of being Who'll
ly different the arts Of the two hemt-
spheres have in common at least nine
tenths OF their attributes and that orf-
entail art is quite as serious and dignlfled
as that Of the occident. The striking
thought Of the whole series was the iden-
tity of the human mind and race as re-
yealed in it's art. ;. The parallels were
shown to be very numerous and In some
| instances SO close that the amateur could
! not have distinguished between the Eu-
ropean and Japanese examples on the
screen. To show the faithfulness with
| which Japanese artists have reproduced
nature and life Mr.. Fenollosa showed
painting and photographs side by side on
