After the negro had been arrested
and fully identified as the slayer OF
Detective Murphy he was hurried to

mining there with a small force of po-
lice at his command, he was the sole
representative of executive authority.
He began his explorations in May,
1887. pushed for hundreds of miles
Own the Lewes and Yukon rivers. then
up the Tat-on-duc, POrcupine Bell,
Trout and Peel rivers TO the Macken-
zie and then southwark along the great
system of lakes and tributaries in the
Mackenzie basin until he reached OF
tawa in 1889.
Most of our information with regard
to the regions he traversed had been
derived from agents OF the Hudson
Bay company, who had entered the
country only to buy furs from the In
dams and whose geographical reports
were far from accurate. Ogilvie was
man of scientific training, and this fact
gave much value TO his work and made
Il possible greatly to improve the maps
CT Northern Canada.
He ascertained the attitudes of rivers
and mountains, traced the direction of
hills and ranges, offshoots of the
Rockies, and made some entirely new
discoveries. He found. for example. a
pass leading from tidewater in Chill
koot inlet to the navisable part of the
Lewes tributary of the Yukon
On his journey to the Mackenzie he
discovered a hitherto unknown river
ever 200 miles long, which has since
heen named the Ogilvie river. He de-
termined the place where the Yukon
river crosses the national boundary.
On one side of the river he blazed the
letter "A on trees and on the trees Of
the other side the letter &C" to denote
that they were respectively in the ter
ritories of Alaska and Canada
Most of Ogilvie's explorations were
carried on in two Eastwood canoes built
extra strong and weighing about 40
pounds each, so that two men could
carry them without much difficulty.
Each canoe carried two men and 400
pounds of goods. They transported
Ogilvie and his heavy outfit over $500
miles along the rivers. He met a con-
siderable number of Indians who had
never seen a white man before.
Since that journey a large area of
canada east of the Mackenzie river has
been explored by members of the Ca
madam geographical survey: but moth
ing has been added to the maps of the
region between the lower Mackenzie
and Alaska except what Ogilvie sup
Piled in his journey of 1SS7-S9. The
working out of his observations show
ed that they had been made with great
care and had added a large amount of
accurate information to the mapping of
that part of Canada.-New York Sun.

KEROSENE MADE FROM WATER.
A Foreigners Plan, If Successful
Would Demolish the Standard Oil.

Fearing the wrath Of the Standard
OIL company and of all Pennsylvania s
oil operators, on account of the re-
markable substitute for petroleum
which he says he has made, Charles
Fitz De Morgenstern waits at the Hotel
Lafayette in New York City for flu
ture developments.
He Gang to this country two weeks
ago with his idea and with a box of
chemicals by means of which he says
he can make manv barrels of artificial
petroleum at cent a gallon.
Then it could be sold at five cents
q gallon" said the inventor. land that
would be al half the price which is
obtained for the kerisene which we
burn in lamps. l might sell my inven-
ton for $1,O0O.000 and an interest in
the company. Perhaps I could sell the
secret and Mr.. Rockefeller could keep
il locked up in his safe for awhile, or I
could show him how to make kerosene
non-eXplosive."
Mr.. Morgenstern is of French de-
scent ard he is also connected with the
family of James II. of Scotland, he
says. Educated as n physician, he took
several courses of chemistry. He exhi-
bted certificates from the university
Of Brussels and of Bonn and from an
English school. His home is at Diano
Marina, Italy, not far from Monte
Carlo.
He said that two years ago he began
his experiments with a view of obtain
ing a fluid which could be used in mo-
tor cars, and quite by accident he dis
covered the remarkable substitute for
kerosene.
The inventor says the liquid is large
ly water and that it's properties are i'm
parted by the addition of a chemical
salt, which is obtained from vegetable
matter. The wick which is used in
lamps filled with his petroleum substi-
tute is soaked with acetic acid
The new fluid" continued Mr. Nor
genstern, will burn with five times
the light of ordinary kerosene and it
will not flash at any temperature 1t is
not adapted for use in motor cars be-
cause it gives forth no explosive vapor,
but at the same time for heating and
lighting it is all that could be desired.
Once the world knows the value of
my invention" he said, 1.-The petroleum
business will be revolutionized. The
Standard Oil men will be amazed.

All Canadians and all geographers
know of Mr. Ogilvie. Sixteen years
ago he began the explorations i'm the
northern part of Canada that made
him famous.
He was a surveyor in the service of
the Canadian land survey when he took
his journey through the northern ana
little known wilds, covering a distance
of 2,700 miles. This journey ranks
among the notable feats to the credit
of the explorers.
Ogilvie was away from civilization
nearly two years and when he returned
with many sheets of new maps and
modestly told of mis- achievements he
suddenly sprang into notice in all geo.
graphical centers. He was specially
honored by the Royal Geogra pliers So

While the Little Falls representa- tives
were compelled to acknowledge defeat,
they may well feel proud Of their efforts.
Many of their points were We'll taken and
ably supported. but their arguments
lacked proper marshalling and their de-
livery the finish that could be seen in the
speeches of two of the st. Paul debaters.
Y. The question was: Resolved, That
United States sena tors should be elected
by the direct vote OF the people, Little
Fails had the affirmative and took full
advantage of the popular feeling against
the present mode Of electing senator's.
They referred to instances of bribery;
pointed out that the present system inter
fered with state legislation, and mixed
state and national politics. Their points
were well re-enfcrced with citations and
seemed almost too strong for their op-
ponents ea"
The St. Paul debaters in opening the
negative advanced the. claim that the af-
1lrmatlve had to prove that the present
system of elccting senators was a failure
They then pointed out the evils of the
irresponsible convention eulogized the
wisdom of the trainers of the constitu-
ton and closed with a strong plea for
maintaining the present SYSTEM winch
