demonstrated. 80 a.. -. :. -
Captain McNiehol, who is in com
mand Of the Victorian, says they left
Neville in gale and had bad weather,
with heavy head seas, nearly all the
way westward. A factor that lessened
the Victorian $ speed, more potent even
than the weather, WIS the printing of
the boiler, which adversely affected the
steam pressure: But in the face of all
this, they were able to make an aver
age speed Of 1928 knots an hour, not
deducting time from several hours de-
lay by fog on the banks Of Newfound-
land. Never once, from beginning to
end of the voyage, did the turbines
cease their swift revolutions. The max
imum speed attained was 1917 knots
an hour. The average run was 6 knots
day, and the total distance covered
was 1850 miles, which, the captain
says, is 1884 miles more than the short
est distance that might have been trav-
ersed had it not been for the ice.

THE ROOSEVELT"
TO SEEK THE POLE
Peary's Arctic Exploration Ves-
sci Will Sail for Far North
ri ..:..,s in July. ..y~

Portland, Me-, April s.-Robert E.
Peary's Arctic exploration ship, the
Roosevelt, is here to receive her ma
chine-y. This will be Of powerful cali
Der. and will be installed within a
month, when the Roosevelt will be
ready for her trial trip. She will then
proceed to New York and sail for the
far north early in July. ~
The Roosevelt is the first ship ever
constructed in this country for polar
work. She was built under the personal
supervision of Mr.. Peary, whose long
experience in northern waters enabled
him to embody in the Roosevelt many
ideas which, it is believed, make her
one of the best equipped ships for Arc
tic exploration ever. built.
The vessel has attracted much atten-
tion among shipbuilders in Maine by
her massive frame and peculiar CON
struction. All the woodwork was spe-
cially constructed with view of with
standing the great strain which the
Roosevelt will be subjected to in the
ice, and Mr.. Peary is confident that he
will reach the furthest point north ever
made by man.
The launching Of the Roosevelt at
Vernona was a great event in ship
building circles, and nearly everyone in
the town turned out to see the Peary
creation take the water.

the radical reforms that make these col

This present ascendancy of. labor can
be traced, curiously enough, to the de-
graded position of labor at the begin
ming. A hundred years ago there were
but two. kinds Of settlers, the convicts
and their keepers. Often their posi-
equity. When free settlers came. the
convicts were hired out to them like
slaves. Horny hands became almost as
much sign Of disgrace as leg-irons
themselves. It was not till the convict
system was abolished that honest toll
was reputed honorable. Then came the
inevitable reaction, The workers, so
long desspiised, could command! respect
when reinforced by the gold miners and
ism, came in the eighties to organize
their forces, raise their courage, and
swell their pride. Their pride was soon
humbled, but their courage could not be
broken. The great maritime strike of
1890 crippled the commerce of the con
tinent and paralyzed dozen industries
in no sense maritime. It was followed
during the next three years by ghearers'
the government So, 100000, and the men
more. than double that. All the strikes
failed. In FIVE years the employers
won every strike in every, colony.
Drouth and financial disaster followed
fast to swell the ranks of the unem-
ployed and weaken the force of labor.
Yet labor turned defeats and difficult
ties into reasons for better organiza-
tion. In. it's victories, capital might
have read the ultimate triumph of the
vanquished. Henceforth the horny
handed stood a political integer. Ten
years ago wOrkingmen began to win
seats in colonial parliaments Some
times by merging with the progressive.
sometimes by holding the balance Of
power between the two old parties,
sometimes by standing aloof from both
and striving for office! itself, the labor
party in the various colonies has sue
ceeded in molding recent Australian
Legislation and in making q jonrneymaI
printer the premier Of the continent.
