Reports Success.

German Steamer Gauss Returns and
Reports Success.
Simonstown, Cape Colony, June g.
The German antarctic steamer Gauss
arrived here to-day She shows out
ward signs of her experience in the ice.
The expedition has been a great sue
cess. After sailing from Cape Town,
Dec. Z, 1901 the Gauss called at Ker-
guelen Island, where a party was land
ed. The vessel reached floating ice
Feb. A. 1902, and was ice bound on Feb.
p, in latitude $3.50 and west longitude
90
The expedition discovered new land,
which they named Emperor William III
Land. 1t was covered with ice, with
the exception of an inactive volcano.
The expedition was ice-bound here for
almost year, the ship being fast in
pack ice. The crew went into winter
quarters, and many scientific inves-
LEGATIONS were carried out during this
period.
Several expeditions with dogs and
sleighs left the winter quarters, but
found the season too advanced, and
their progress was hampered by fear
ful snowstorms and darkness. The
Gauss made her way out of the ice
with northward flowing currents and
leaving the ice April of this year
she proceeded to Durham, passing Ker-
guelen Island and calling at st. Paul
and New Amsterdam islands.
The expedition enjoyed good health
and there was no sickness, accident
or death among it's members. There
was no trouble with the dog teams.
The expedition did not sight the Brit
ish Antarctic steamer Discovery, now
ice-bound in the Antarctic regions nor
the ship Morning which was sent to
the Discovery's assistance.

brIhEs on correspondence Between
Gordon and Root.
Washington, June 9.-After the close
of the Confederate reunion at New Or
leans there was an exchange of letters
between Gen. John B. Gordon, COM
manderin-ch of the Confederate
Veterans Association, and Secretary
Root. Gen. Gordon wrote:
my Dear Mr.. Secretary: Please ac-
cept from me and the United Confed-
crate Veterans whom l represent the
assurance of our sincere appreciation of
your generous course in urging the
provision for roster of all ex-Con-
federates, as we'll as of ex-Union SOL
diers.
AT our recent reunion in New Or
leans our Indebtedness to you was ex-
pressed by formal resolution, unani-
mously adopted. The readiness of all
Confederates to cooperate with you
was also fully expressed"
Secretary Root, under date of June
6, replied as follows:
MY Dear Gen. Gordon: 1 thank
you for your kind letter of May 2S,
advising me of the gratifying way in
which the Confederate veterans look
cation of a roster of ex-Confederate
and ex-Union soldiers. 1 beg you to
believe that 1 fully appreciate and
highly prize this expression.
II think that next to the splendid
fighting that was done on both sides
of the Civil War; the re-establishment
of friendly relations and common SYM
pathies between the two sections, with

fought so desperately against each
other, is a high title to respect FOR
Americans by all the world It is a
very great pleasure for me to be able
to do anything which may contribute
towards the further advancement of
these friendly relations"

COMMENTING editorally on the recent attempts
to blackmail the Northern Pacific railroad company,
the usually sane and conservative ST. Paul Globe has
the following to say:
"The man least tolerant of lynch law would not
sorrow if the dastards who have been threatening
and plotting outrages along the line Of the Northern
Pacific railroad should be caught and summarily
dealt with There is not the slightest need of bur-
dening the courts with the trial of miserable wretches
such as these is there any penalty short of i'm
mediate execution that would fit the crime j.
We hope to see the miscreants caught without delay
and shall express regret if any accident should
happen to them on their way to the nearest Jail.
Granting that hanging is too good for man
who wrecks train, and that the gang which is op-
too quickly, we cannot where there is any
sion for the Globes remarks They imply that under
certain conditions anarchy is not only permissible
but commendable. They imply that the courts of
Justice not competent to deal with certain Grim
inals and that,a few justified in disregard
ing the will Of the whole people expressed by the
laws when such criminals are discovered In short,
they belittle government and uphold anarchy. Why
should not the courts be 'burdened' with the trial
of these men when they captured? What else are
the courts for? Does the Globe think that an illegal
execution of criminal is a greater punishment
than legal execution does it harbor the belief
that lynching exerts wholesome and restraining
influence on the community? In either case, it is
mistaken

People who walk in their sleep
could at least get temporary relief
by taking a room at our hotel De
Slow Water.
When other people travel they
simply travel, but whenever Mr..
Peary goes north at snail's pace
| it is ''dash."
It seems like a big waste of good
valuable time for people to devote
one-third or one-fourth of their
time to sleep. If some one could
produce a machine that would en-
able people to determine just who
are going to sleep a few years or a
few million years in the grave, and
those who are going straight to
heaven, as we'll as those who are
going to make bee line for hades
when they get through doing bust
ness on earth, then it might be
worth while for science to develop
something that would enable the
former to devote the entire "a
hours of each day to work and re-
creation and side track their Sleep
ing apparatus until they shuttle off.
According to the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, the mouth Of
the Mississippi River is about
four miles farther from the center
of the earth than is Lake Itasca.
In other words the Mississippi runs
up hill, and but for the centrifugal
force generated by the rapid revo-
luton of the earth upon its axis,
the water of the Gulf of Mexico
would flow with tremendous force
up the Mississippi Valley to the
north pole. Inasmuch as Mr.. J.
Pierpont Morgan and his associates
own a controlling interest in the
earth, it would seem that some of
the enthusiastic seekers of the
north pole might make arrange
ments with these gentlemen to
have the Mississippi River run
north instead of south and put on
a line of steamers to the north
pole. Cargoes of heat could be
taken north in exchange for ice.
DR.. r. II. Blackwell, writing in
the Westminster Re0ve7O, takes a
pessimistic view of Great Britain's
future. He seems to think the
colonies are outgrowing the mother
country and that they show dis
position to ignore the mother to a
very considerable extent in great
problems which affect both or all.
Never since the quarrel of Great
Britain with the North American
colonies, he says, has the position
of the British colonies been 80
serious as it is now, and the ques-
ton that seems likely to break up
the empire is simply this: Will
the colonies pay their fair share
and proportion in defending it?
To him it is perfectly clear, he
says, that the British politicians,
stupid tho they may be, and far
inferior in intelligence and educa-
ton to the colonial public and
politicians, have had lesson from
the South African war which they
will not easily forget.
In the interest of minority of
English speaking people scattered
about South Africa, says the doctor,
they plunged into war which
could find sno justification in the
law of nations, which has been
disastrous to the British army and
which at last was terminated by
the most ignominious peace ever
signed by victorious nation. It
has cost Great Britain thousands
of men and hundreds of millions
