DISCOVERIES oFrHE DISCOVERY
some Results of the British Ansnrtio
 Expedafton.


 | Lyttleton, New Zealand, April 1.-The British antarctic steamer Discovery, and the relief steamers Morning and Terra Nova, arrived here to-day. Captain R. F. Scott, R. N, of the 1 Discovery says that the winter of 1903 passed pleasantly and the members of the expedition enjoyed much greater comfort than in 1902 Sledging opera l tions began in September under severe conditions, owing to extremely low tenn peratures which frequently fell below sixty degrees.
 Tn November one party reached a point 16O geographical miles southeast of the ship. There was no trace of land and evidence was obtained showing | that this was vast floating ice plain. Captain Scott, with another party, 1 made two excursions westward in Oc- tober over a glacier. They gained the summit October Il and crossed the mag netic meridian October 20 in longitude | 155 1-2 east. Still proceeding westward !, the party reached a point 270 miles I from the ship in latitude IS south, lon- gitude 146 1-2 east. The interior of South Victoria is evidently a vast con- 1 tinental plateau stretching continuous l ly for 5000 feet. The glacier valley af- l lords magnificent scenery and gives q natural geological section of the moun- l tains.
 | Ill the middle of December the party attempted to cut a canal through the ;oo oIo fn icr1, font thick, but the effort was futile owing l to constant. re-freezing. The open wa | ter was then seventeen mile from the l ship.
 The relief ships arrived simultane- I ously Jnauary 5. The ice began to break at the end of January assisted 1 by systematic dynamiting. On Feb rCary 12 a general breakup brought the 1 relief ships to Hut Point and on Feb- ruary IA two heavy charges of dyna- mite placed the Discovery in open Wal l ter.
 "In the succeeding days the heavy l gales drove the vessels apart and the Discovery was driven ashore where she remained for eight hours in a critical position before she freed herself.
 "On February 19," said Captain Scott, i've got seventy-five tons of coal from the relief ships. Before a fresh gale drove us north we kept close along the coast line and parted company with the other ships at Cape Washington, with clear sea to the north. We enter ed Wood bay and Robertson bay, but in attempting to pass around Cape North we met with heavy pack ice. We found that we had not sufficient coal to enter Smith inlet and skirted the pack to the east and the north and l proceeded west along parallel e9 1-2 lat itude and on March found that Bal

 Barenu.
 Washington, April 1.-The weather bureau summary of crop conditions for March is as follows:
 From the upper Mississippi valley to the middle Atlantic coast the season is generally reported backward, although the average temperature for the month in these districts was generally in ex- cess Of the normal. In the southern states the month has been mild and favorable for farming operations. The northern portion of the central gulf states, however, the central valleys and the greater part of the lake region suf- fered from excessive rains and vest ern Texas and the southern plateau re- zion from drought. From northern Wisconsin westward to the Rocky mountains the ground is still frozen deeply and no farm work has been done.
