EXPLORERS RESCUED.
Good Work is Done by the Arctic
 Steamer Terra Nova.

Honningsvaag. Norway, Aug. 10.- The arctic steamer Terra Nova, which went to the relief of the Fiala- -Ziegler polar expedition, has rescued Anthony Fiala and all the others connected with the expedition, with the exception of one Norwegian seaman, whc died from natural causes. The ship America, crushed in the ice early in the winter of 1903-04 and los ta large part of her coal and provisions.
 The thirty-seven members of the ex- petition who returned to safety are all in good health despite their deprivation and trying experiences and their pro- longed Imprisonment in the Arctic Sea, the expedition having been severed with all communication with the out side world since July 1903. Anthony Fiala of Brooklyn, New York. the leader of the expedition in a brief statement says:
 The rescue was most timely. By my order the America wintered in Neplitz Bay, where early in the winter of 1903-04 she was crushed in the ice and became a total loss. together with big quantities of coal and provisions.
 Supplies of stores left at Franzjose- fland by various relief parties, saved us very serious privations. Three at- ltHnplS lO EtdCH ti HlSh AdNituuC The scientific work, however, as planned, was successfully carried out by William J. Peters of the United States Geological Survey.
 Our rescue was due to the splen- did efforts of William s. Champ. sec retary of the late William Zeigler, commanding the relief expedition. who, owing to the terrible weather. failed to reach us last year, and to the un- tiring zeal of Captain Kjeldsen and his Norwegian officers and crew, who fer six weeks consistently forced their way through solid floes of ice and fin ally reached us.
 An abundance of. stores had been left on the Franzjosef archipelago by the expedition commanded by the Duke of Abruzzi and the Andre relief expedition. SO that we did not suffer serious difficulties on that score" The Fiala -Zeigler expedition reached S2 degrees and 13 minutes.

try's representatives are likely to ask. One condition will be the immediate evacuation of Manchuria. Another will be the cessation of the Island of Sak- halin. vladivostok also will be de- manded. i
 Certainly an indemnity will be ask ed. A defeated nation Is always forced to pay an indemnity at the end of a war. I do not know the amount but am convinced that 1t will be at the very least s1.000, 100000. This may be re- duced, however, if peace can be brought about in no other way.
 'Tt is to be expected that the Russian envoys will protest against such terms They may almost refuse to continue ne- gotiations but Baron Komura and MT. Takahira will not be deceived by such tactics. They will be immovable and in the end Russia's representatives will give what Is asked.
 The Russian people will undoubtedly look upon the terms of peace as dis honorable and there will be much dis satisfaction. The Czar will quiet this by a proclamation establishing a rep- resentative assembly. This will be simply a travesty on representative government and after two or three years even this solace will be taken away from the people. It will, how ever, have served It's purpose D
 The Associated Press learns from a most authoritative source that the in- itiative of the decision taken by the peace conference to keep in absolute secrecy the deliberations agreed upon by the plenipotentiaries was proposed by the Japanese representatives. The Russian representatives had no special interest in maintaining secrecy, but as the conference is the reunion of two parties. the Russians thinking that they had not the right of opposing the desire of Japan. have consented to this proceeding"

woman. whom she had accused yesier.
day OF alternating her husbands affec.
tions. The bullet entered the victims
left breast and caused almost instant
death. Wider had taken refuge In the
closet. His wife became hysterical
after firing the shot. and he came out
and took the weapon away from her.
Wider. who has been engaged In
mining and newspaper work in the dis.
trict about eight years. engaged quar-.
tiers at the hotel several weeks ago
after disagreement with his wife
which led to their separation. It is
claimed by Mrs. Wider that she went
to the hotel this morning for the sole
purpose of consulting with her hus-
band regarding their thirteen-year.old
son. Walter, who had been punished
several times lately by his teacher.
She thought that he received more
punishment than he deserved and
wanted her husband to see the school
authorities regarding the matter.
Mrs. Wider went direct to the room
which she knew her husband had en-.
gagged at the hotel. Failing to find him
there. and having seen him in com.
pany with Mrs. Douglas yesterday. she
inquired the number of the latter's
room and went there. Her feelings
overcame her when she saw her hus-
band and the woman together. and the
tragedy followed.
Mrs. Wider was arrested and admit
ted to bail in the sum Of $1,000.
a coroner's inquest was held, the
jury returning the following verdict:
1--WE find that the said Mrs. Douglas
came to her death from gunshot
wound inflicted by Mrs. Sam Vidler at
the National hotel on April 18th; that
the said shot was fired by Mrs. Sam
Wider while in a state of great mental
excitement and the said jurors are un-
able to state whether said killing was
