Antarctic ExpIorera Return.

members of the German antarctic ex-

months this detached party pursued

tions. One doctor succumbed, and an
other, DIR. Werth, who was the leader
of the party, is not likely to recover.

and try to arrive at a common basis or
parliamentary action.
rThe~ proceedings at the convention
revealed passionate discomfort with
various features of the bill, but moth
ing so serious as to indicate danger
of it's ultimate rejection.
Every available seat in the round
room of the Mansion House was'taken
by the delegates, who surged up the
aisles in a solid mass and overflowed
the surrounding rooms. For six hours
without break the delegates sat or
stood listening to the speeches of their
leaders, spiritual and political. Not for
many a day has such representative
| gathering been seen in Dublin. Irish
wit and eloquence lived up to its repu-
tation. Speaker after speaker brought
the audience to that pitch of enthusi-
asm where hats were thrown up and
men stood yelling with delight upon
the chairs.
Throughout the day this gathering
of Irish tenants, so picturesque, SO ter
ribly earnest, so swayed by the elo-
| quence of the Irish leaders, never
ceased to make a fit setting for the
heroic epithets in which the speakers
decribed the convention and the issues
depending on it's decision. Through
all the various waves of emotion John
Redmond sat in the chair, impass1ve
and keeping order like Parnell," as an
OLD Nationalist said. His head was
constantly endangered by the swing.
ing hands and arms of the speakers.
William O'Brien and Michael DavItt
were the heroes of the hour. After the
convention all the leaders expressed
their complete satisfaction at the pro-
ceedings and the practical unanimity
of so many representative bodies
| throughout Ireland.
Eager for peace, but ready for war
in case the English wish to continue -
was. to quote one speaker, the keynote
, of the convention.

The new primary law makes several
radical changes in the manner of con-
Quoting the primaries 1t is step in
the right direction. Holding both
primaries on the first day of registra-
tion will doubtless bring out more
people and not leave everything in the
hands of a certain few and their fol-
lowers. 1t also gives any independent
candidate an equal chance to have his
pane on ticket, at the same time it
prevents any candidate spIinging a
ticket at the last moment.
All these are good features but there
is one great objection to the law as it
stands. 1t interferes with independ-
ent voting. A man, if challenged at
the primaries, must swear as to what
ticket he voted at the last election
and has to tell how he,will vote at the
coming election. This abolishes to q
large extent, the secrecy of the ballot
for all the men who are considered
doubtful can be challenged and the
way he voted and intends to vote can
be learned. Many men hold that their
ballot is secret and it is no ones

STARTLING CHARGES
Metropolitan Railway Guilty
of Grave Irregularities.
STOCKHOLDERS ATTORNEY REPORTS
New York street Car system Claimed
by Mr.. PhiIbi1 to Have Been
Dishonesty Managed-Mil-
lions Are at Stake.

NEW YORK, April 17.-FOrmer Dis
frict Attorney PhIlbin's full report con-
rerning the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way company, which he made to the
two stockholders who retained him to
investigate its affairs, was made public
late yesterday. 1t contains many SEN
SatiOnal statements regarding the af-
fairs of that corporation.
The report it is said, embodies state
r~ents which w. N Amory expects to
bring out at further sessions of the
Amory- -Vreeland case. Hitherto it was
thought that the only stakeholder who
had retained Mr.. Philbin to make the
investigation was Henry ]. Broker
but it was said that another stock
holder had employed Mr.. Philbin for
the same purpose. Mr.. Philbin de-
clined to disclose the name of his 9th
er client.
ut is clear when the company's own
statements are analyzed that the In
terurban lease was calculated to pro-
vide and has actually provided many
millions of dollars in excess of the hon
cot requirements VI tic MClIOpOllldu
company.
Mr.. Philbin's report begins by charg-
ing that in 1898, 1900 and 1901 the COM
pany informed the commission it had
expended for construction and equip
ment millions of dollars more than the
balance sheets of that period show was
spent. The difference was $10,057,-
$4,000.
Further. Mr.. Philbin states, there
were incorrect reports of disburse-
ments, particularly with regard to
loans and investments, and the differ
ences in these items, as shown in re-
ports and balance sheets, aggregated
millions. 1t is impossible, says the re-
port, to account for the apparent dis
crepancy of $3,OOO,0OO where the re-
port of 1901 reported $2,245, ,598.78 as
the amount due from lessor companies,
and the item was carried forward in
the next years report as balance due
from lessor companies, June 80, 1901,
$5, 5,245, ,59S.7S."
The report brings out the claims
made by Mr.. Amory on the witness
stand two days ago to the effect that
the reports showed the company to
have charged several times for build
ing the Second avenue electric line.

New York ticket sellers for the ele-
waited roads do their work with a celer-
ity equaled only by the lightning
change artist OF big circus. How do
they manage it? Peep into one of the
little ticket offices. and you will see
that the methods of the man inside
are Identical with those of the circus
man. There is only one way of selling
tickets rapidly, whether at an Il" sta
tion or from the red wagon of a circus.
When you hand in your money through
the little opening, your coin or green
back goes to the ticket sellers left,
and from that side comes the ticket,
which he tears off from the long strip
with his right hand. Almost simulta
neously the same hand shoves out your
change, for he has the exact change for
your coin or bill ready. counted out
and piled up. Close to his right hand,
just inside the little window, are q lot
OF nlckels for changing dimes. Next to
these are nickels and dimes arranged
with 20 cents In each pile. ready for
the man with quarter. Then there
are lot of forty-hve cent piles and
Others containing 80 cents. so he doesn't
need TO stop to count out your change.
If you call for two tickets and hand in
a dollar. the ticket seller takes nickel
from one of the ninety-tive cent piles
and instantly has the change that you
require. and whenever there Is lull in
the stream of ticket buyers the man
behind the window replenlshes his
piles of change. so that he is seldom
caught without just the amount you
need already counted out for you

ply it to that practical purpose and to
demonstrate that with sufficient cleo

More than 100000 American farm
ers now have the benefit of the rural
free delivery, and the amount of mail
they receive has been more than dou-
bled since the system was adopted.
During the past year the system cost
the government about S24, 900, and
with this amount the postoffice depart
ment has been able to give excellent
satisfaction. There are still 100000
square miles not covered by the rural
delivery system. To accomplish this
work it will require the employment of
26,000 to $1,000 carriers in addition to
those now employed, making the en-
tire force when the extension is COM
pleted about 10000. The department
expects that this will be accomplished
within the next three years.

EDUCATIONAL LECTURES.
Prof. Henry Thurtell, of State Uni
yersity, Highly Received.

At the Gardnerville school house
last Friday afternoon Prof Henry
Thurtell, instructor in the Department
of Mathematics of the state Univer-
sity, delivered an interesting and in
structive lecture to the teachers and
pupils of the school, his subject being
'sIhe Astronomy of the Earth" He
explained in detail the location of the
different planets and told their re-
spective names. He then took up the
subject of the eclipse of the moon and
defined it thoroughly.
AT his evening lecture Mr. Thprtell
addressed an audience of sixty people
or more. In his Introductory remarks
the professor pointed out the advan-
tages young people have at the present
time over those of forty or fifty years
ago in the matter of schooling. He
said twenty students attend the Uni
versity to-day where one attended
forty years ago. At this rate of in
crease a University education will
soon be within the grasp of all who
desire this advantage. "Being more
familiar with mathematics, of that I
speak," said Mr.. Thurtell, and he is
conceded to be the most expert math-
metician in the State. His subject
was, 1.-The Value of the Engineering
Schools of the State University to
Nevada" He pointed out the differ
ent branches through which the stu
dent has to pass in the Engineering
course, and in conclusion told the
names of the seventy-two graduates
who had completed their course during
the time he has been instructor at the
University. He also told what each
one was engaged in at the present
time, and it was shown that out of the
seventy-two graduates there was not
single drone or idler, each one filling
a prominent position and commanding !
handsome salary. Several tables in I
the hall we're filed with fine specimens
of wood and iron work done by stud
ents, and on the walls were displayed
a number of mechanical and architec-.
turai drawings, every one of which
showed exceptional care and skill.
His lecture was highly appreciated
and vigorously applauded.
While there was a good audience,
there was room for more This should
not be, for lectures of this kind should
interest enough people in this section
TO fill the largest hall in town.
After the evening lecture Mr.. Waits,
Principal of the Gardnerville school,
made few brief remarks He thanked
the people for their attendance and
close attention, but expressed himself
as not being thoroughly satisfied with
the number present. 81 am glad to
see so many present tonight, "said Mr.
Waits, but in plain words | wish to
say that am hard fellow to please.
| want TO see this house jammed full
at the next lecture course, and | most
solicit your aid in obtaining
this result" Mr.. Waits remarks
were heartily applauded, and adjourn
ment followed.
The next lecture of the course will
be given by Prof. S. B. Doten. The
subject of his lecture will be, "Beauty
In Common Things and will be beau
tifully illustrated by lantern slides.
This lecture will be given in Gardner
vile on February 2Oth or Dist. The
exact date will appear in later issue.
