CLIMBING MOUNT rKENLEf.

The news that Judge Wckersham. of the
United States District Court of Alaska. has
made the ascent of Mount Mckinley will cause
disappointment among the friends and admirers
of DR.. Cook, who left Brooklyn on q similar
errand two or three months ago. No doubt the
Eastern explorer will reach the summit; but it
looks as if he would not be the first man to do
so. He has apparently been anticipated.
1t is consoling, however. to feel that the feat
was performed by an American Mckinley.
whose height has been estimated at 20464 feet
is undoubtedly the loftiest peak on the northern
half of this continent Fitzgerald and Eur
briggen have probably surpassed this achieve
ment by 1000 5000 feet in the Andes and
Sir Martin Conway has done still better in the
Himalayas. 1t would have been a pity if for
eigner had made the first ascent of Mckinley.
Nor does the fact that DR.. Cook has been beaten
show that he is less brave or skilfuI His rival
enjoyed peculiar advantages in being a tenn
porary resident Of Alaska

equal ease from the north and the south II

fully four hundred miles Messrs. Brooks and
Reaburn, of the United States Geological Sur

Guilty and to the wisdom of beginning the actual

route, which Judge Wickersham seems to have
taken would not be available until the opening

HONEY NEEDED F0R FRESH AIR.

In one respect we do not hesitate to play the
part of Oliver Twist That is in asking for
more" What We want is money, and we want
it for the Tribune Fresh Air Fund. COntrbu-
tions thus far this year have been generous.
Many people have given sums, large and small,
according to their ability. For these gifts. in
the name of the charity. we return sincere
thanks. But more money is needed. 1t is
needed at once; ana if it is not promptly forth
coming the work of this great charity must
come to a standsttll.
Here is the situation: Down to last Saturday
the Fresh Air Fund sent this season 4,S21 chill
dren into the country for two weeks each. Hos
pitality has been extended in the country for
three thousand more It has been accepted by
the Fund for two thousand, and two thousand
children have been notified to get ready to go.
The people offering room for the other thou
sand are waiting to know whether children will
he sent to them.
Now money is needed 10 enable the Fund to
send the two thousand children who have been
notified and are now ready to go into the coun-
try; and also to enable it to accept the hos
pitality which has been offered for another
thousand. If it is not provided by benevolent
friends in few days it will be necessary to
disappoint children who have been told that
they are to 90 to the country and to decline
hospitality that has been offered by generous
people in the country and has already been
accepted. That would be a deplorable thing
and we feel sure that the public which has for
many years sustained the Fresh Air Fund will
not permit ii to occur. They will, we hope and
believe. prevent it ny promptly contributing the
needed money.

BULLOCK COUNTYS
'EXHIBIT HERE.
All County Exhibits Were Delayed
at Macon for Two Days.

All County Exhibits Were Delayed
at Macon for Two Days.
At 8 o'clock last night General Man
ager Saussy received a telephone mes
sage announcing that a portion of the
Bulloch county exhibit had arrived.
Three carloads of agricultural products
are at the Central depot ready to be
unloaded. 1t is expected that the re-
maing three carloads will arrive early
this morning, and with them will come
the exhibits from Worth, Camden,
Troup and the other counties
It was expected that all the county
exhibits would be in place by last night,
but unavoidable delays at Macon and
along the road kept the cars contain
ing the displays from arriving. The
work of removing the Bulloch county
exhibit began at once and this will be
in place by the time for the opening at
noon.
One of the men in charge of the Bull
loch exhibit said that ii had been inn
possible to bring the exhibits here be-
fore. The delays were due partly to
the length of time necessary for pack
ing and loading the displays and part
ly due to delays en- route.
1.-THE beauty of our exhibit" he said,
depends almost entirely upon having
the specimens displayed in perfect con-
dition and unbroken. Many of the ag-
ricultural displays are very delicate,
having become more or less brittle ow-
ing to the length of time that they
have been out of the ground Extra
ordinary care was necessary In packing
them In the cars, and the length of
time required was considerable.
1--WE also have large amount of pre-
served fruit. This, of course, means a
great number of glass jars. Should
one OF the jars be broken while en- route
the exhibit in that particular would
be almost totally ruined. AS a result
great care was necessary and many of
the jars had to be packed in boxes with
excelsior and other packing material
I'm addition we had several delays
en- route caused by our being forced to
give way to other trains which were
being rushed through to other points.
We did our best to get here on time
and We are congratulating ourselves on
arriving as quickly as we have
The exhibits from the other counties
left Macon only a few hours behind
the Bulloch exhibit, and 1t was ex-
pected that all of them will arrive
some time during the night or early
this morning. The work OF removing
the displays from the cars to the
grounds will be done as rapidly as
possible, ana III tnere are no unfore-
seen delays, everything will be in place
by tonight at the very latest
Owing to the lateness of the hour
only a meagre idea could be gained of
the Bulloch display. A hasty glance,
however, showed that practically every
agricultural product raised in the coun-
ty is in it, Both extremes, the giant
species and the dwarf, are included.
There is also a large display of pre-
served fruits. When properly arranged
at the agricultural building the exhibit
should present very handsome APP
pearance.

MAY BE TWO WARSHlPS
HERE INSTEAD OF ONE.

British Vessel, Alert, May Accom-
pany Newport from Jacksonville.
1t is not unlikely that when the
United States warship Newport ar
rives in the Savannah harbor this
week to remain during the fair she
will be accompanied by his Britannia
majesty's warship Alert, which vessel
is now anchored with the Newport at
Jacksonville.
The Alert, which is visiting Ameri-
can ports, arrived at Jacksonville
Monday, and was visited by Jackson
Ville's Mayor and the officers of the
Carnival Association of that city, and
1t is not unlikely that Commander
Power will proceed to Savannah in
company with the Newport, thus af-
fording additional sights for Savan-
nah's visitors to see.
The officers of his British majesty's
ship Alert are as follows:
Laurence E. Power, commander:
Henry w. Parker. lieutenant; Charles
G. Johnson, lieutenant; Godfrey M. R.
Rayne, lieutenant; Bertram C. Allen.
paymaster Henry G.. Williams. sur
geon; George Collins, gunner; James
Liddle, artificer engineer; Arthur w.
E. Baddeley, clerk.
The Alert has a capacity of $50 tons.
and is of LOO horse power and be-
longs to the North American and West
Indian squadron. The Alert was re-
commissioned at Bermuda on March 7
1901, and is considered an excellent
ship of her class.

NEWPORT WILL ARRIVE

Commander Mertz Has NOtiAed
Mayor of His Coming
Some time Friday morning the
United States warship Newport will
arrive off Tybee and will be brought
up to the city by a pilot. The gunboat
will be anchored at the foot of Bull
street, where she will be open to Wis
itors.
letter was received by Mayor My
ers yesterday from Commander Albert
Mertz stating that the vessel will reach
Tybee at the time stated, and asking
that a pilot be sent down to bring her
up to the city. The commander stated
that he had been instructed to report to
the Mayor. Mr.. Myers addressed a
letter in which he stated that the pilot
would be on hand and that all arrange
ments would be made for the docking
of the vessel.
Harbor Master Mcbride will look
after the anchoring of the Newport
and will arrange it so that no difficulty
will be experienced in getting aboard
the vessel. 1t had been Commander
Merits idea to anchor in midstream,
but his attention has been called to
the fact that other war ressels have
come up to the wharves. No formal
programme for the entertainment of
the officers has yet been made, but ar
rangements of some sort will be made
to-day.
Mayor Myers will probably entertain
the officers, and they will also be given
supper by the Naval Reserves. Col.
j. H. Estill and General Manager A. B.
Moore of the Fair Association called
on Mr.. Myers yesterday and the sub
ject of entertaining the officers came
up. Mr.. Myers stated that he would
appoint committee to take charge of
the matter. The Mayor will confer to-
day with Commander Colding of the
Naval Reserves. and the officers of the
Newport are certain to be we'll enter
tanned. They will be extended the
privileges of all the clubs A COM

a list of her officers, has been given
