HOW BEHRING DIED.
The Pathetic and Pitiful End of a
Famous Explorer.

Collins Shackleford tells III Harper's
Magazine the true story of the fatal
expedition of Explorer Eering, for
whom Boring Straits are named. Here
is his account of the adventurer's death
after the loss of his ship:
"Bering, who had Leen for SON e
time totally disabled, was brought
ashore on hand barrow in boat and
placed in a sheltering hollow, where
his still faithful men-a mere handful
had cleared the snow from the sand =.
Even then he was dying. His great
age and the hardships he had under
gone on this voyage made his struggle
for life hopeless.
"His slow passing away was pathetic
and pitiFul. In effect he partially bur-
led Iimselp alive. He lav under the
shelter of tent made from an old sail.
Long suffering bad made him childish
and petulant. Each day and all day
his weakening hands were constantly
busted scraplng down uron his body,
beginning at his feet, the sand from
the ridges on either side.

ROUTES HELD UP BY
REPUBLICAN ROTTENNESS
Resembling ORDER RECEIVED WITH
POOR GRACE BY CONGRESSMAN.
They Do Not Like the Idea of Having the
Routes They Promised to Have Es.
tabIished Abandoned.

A Washington dispatch says Post.
master General PAYNE has created q
panic among those congressman who
had secured orders under the Machen
regime for the extension of the rural
delivery system in their respective
districts, which were to go into effect
July /.
The senators and representatives
from all parts of the country are daily
arriving in Washington to ascertain
what becomes of the promises they
made to their constituents that gen.
eral extension of the rural free deliv-
cry system is to take place at the be-
ginning of the next fiscal year,
just now there are more than doz-
en- southern represent tives in Wash
ipgton who had secured from Mr..
Machen official notice that certain ru-
raj free delivery routes were to be es-
tablished in their respective districts
this year. One of the most demoLstra-
tive comp ainants against Postmaster
General PaYne's "stop order" is Rep
resentatiYe Charles Bartlett of Geor-
gia.
In view of the recent developments
in connection with the mismanage-
ment of the rural free delivery system
under Mr.. Machen all orders previous
ly Issued to take effect ulY l are held
up, and there is no means of estimat-
ing when, ifever, some of these orders
will go into effect.
MAY ABANDON SOME ROUTES.
Since the investigation commenced
reports are being daily received at the
postoffice department from newly as
signed inspectors, stating in some
cases that routes have been establish
ed in New England, in the west and in
the south where there is practically
no demand or justification for the es-
tablishment of quick service. This
condition of affairs is exceedingly en-
barrassfng to Representative Bartlett
and his associates of the house who
have already selected persons expected
TO be appointed to the rural free deliv-
erv service during the coming month.
al OhOS
instead of increasing the rural free de-
livery service the possibilities are
that it will be materially curtailed in
all directions.
Representative BARTLETT had several
companions in misery and disappoinL-
ment at the postoaice department in
Representatives Livingston of Geor-
gia, Underwood and Richardson of
Alabama, Wadsworth of New York
and Griggs, chairman OF the demo-
cratic congressional committee. All
of these gentlemen left Washington a
few months ago with assurances from
Mr.. Machen that certain number of
routes would be established in their
respective districts. The resembling
of these orders by Postmaster General
Payne may be easily understood by
the statesmen interested, but the lat
ter will encounter great difficulty in
explaining 10 their constituents.

GLAD HE IS NOT RICH.
Ex-Secretary Long Would Not Elk,
change Freedom for Wealth.

"I am glad 1 am not a rich man. /
would not exchange my freedom, home
life and content of heart for the wealth
of a Morgan or a Carnegie" said
John D. Long, former secretary of the
navy, at the recent Rockland (Mass)
Commercial club banquet, at which he
was the guest of honor, says the New
York Herald. A moment before he re-
ferred in a touching manner to the
death of Frederick o. MacCartney, a
socialist who represented Rockland in
the legislature.
81 did not agree with Mr.. MacCart-
ney in his views" said Mr.. Long, but
l respect the man for his sterling quail
tiles. He was working for a principle
which he believed to be right. Ad-
vances make the nation what it is to-
day. Is not every man part OF the
advance that is going on if he is sim
cere in his beliefs? l love to think of
q man as an individual. We criticise
severely the man who stands aloof,
but he is working for the common
good"
In speaking of socialism Mr. Long
said there has been respect for the
rights of property in the past and
there always would be. If the reward
is taken away there will be no in
centive to work.
"Our mothers and grandmothers
worked like slaves" he continued, but
the life Of the people Of today is rem
dered much easier by the accumula-
ton of wealth. We live better and
have more advantages than they had.
We are living in an age of socialism
as l understand socialism. fear no
theories, no fanatics and no million
aires, but l do believe in and trust
in the judgment of the good, everyday
people of this country to work out
these problems. Wealth is all right,
but it is not to be considered for a
moment with a clear mind, good
health and a clear conscience. The
advances that are being made Will
work for the benefit of mankind"

The brave defense put up by Travis
and his chief aids, Davy Crockett,
Bowie and Bonham, is still the subject
of many remarkable illustrations of
courage. Bowie was sick in a little
room in one corner of the building at
the time of the attack and the gallant
Travis fell at the cot OF his friend, de-
Tending him to the last from the Mexi-
can invaders.
The woman who survived the attack
was Nine. Candelria, nurse to Bowie in
his last illness. She lived until few
years ago, dying at the age Of 115
years.
How highly Texans regard the old
ruins can be realized when 1t is un-
derstood that the State building at the
st. Louis Worlds Fair is being mod
eled after the architecture of the Ala
mo. 1t was the stand of Travis and
his little band at the Alama that led
to San Jacinto and at the latter place
Texan independence was won.

East.
Comparing this growth with that Of
our commerce with other parts of the
world, 1t may be said that our total ex-
ports to Europe in 1903 aggregate a
little over a billion dollars, against
six hundred and sixty-two millions in
1893, having therefore increased less
than 60 per cent during that period.
Those to Asia in 1903 aggregate about
S6OOOO,OOO, against $16,OOO,OOO in
1893, an increase of 275 per cent. To
Oceania the total for the year is about
$3o,OOO,OOO. against $11, ,OOO, 900 in 1893;
but this does not account for the COM
merce with the Hawaiian Islands
which is considered as a part of the
domestic commerce of the United
States and separately stated.
1t is apparent from these figures that
the growth In our exports to Asia has
been more rapid than to any other
section Of the world except Africa, and
the growth in the exports to China has
been a very important factor in the
growth Of shipments to Asia.-Har-
