ACROSS LABRADOR
WITHOUT A GUIDE
Dillon Wallace Succeeds in His
Z Journey Thru the North
ern Wilds. .

st. Johns, N. F., Nov. 22.-Letters
today from Dillon Wallace, the Labra-
dor explorer and New York lawyer,
contained the news that he had success
fully crossed Labrador. Mr.. Wallace is
the first white man who has ever crossed
Labrador without either guides or In
dian assistants. With Mr.. Wallace was
one companion, named Easton. The let
ters said both were well and had plenty
of provisions when they reached the
province of Ungava, on Oct. 16.
In 1904 Mr.. Wallace went with
Leonidas Hubbard's Inflated expedi-
tion. Mr.. Hubbard, whose purpose was
to cross Labrador, lost his life from
starvation, and Mr.. Wallace was found
by the rescuing party after he had
fallen exhausted in the snow.
Altho the most perilous part of Mr..
Wallace S trip is completed, he still
has before him a winter Of travel on
showshoes before he. reaches civiliza-
tion He and Mr.. Easton, at the time
when the letters were written, were
planning to start westward thru Ungava
for Georges River Post and thence tc
reach Fort Chino, which is one of the
most northerly points on the mainland
of. North America. Here the two vii
wait until the. coast waterways are
frozen over. Then they intend to start
southwark toward Quebec on the froze1
rivers, travelling with dog sleds ant
snowshoes. Mr.. Wallace said he ex
pected to reach Quebec in April.

he asked to make some provision at it's
coming session for the clerks who have
crown old in the service, and who can
now no longer perform their work sat-
isfactorily. - :.
The question Of what to do with the
old clerks has worried cabinet officers
for years. Men and women, many of
them old soldiers or widows of veterans,
are unable to do the work assigned to
them. vet are carried on the rolls at the
salaries they received when competent
To discharge these clerks would be
equivalent to sending them to the poor
house, as few have made any provision
d for the future. This has prevented any
drastic action in the past on the part
Of the heads Of the various departments.
The aged clerks are now referred to
as Hdead wood,o and the younger ele-
ment in office is demanding. promotion
to the higher salaried places held by the
old clerks. The department heads have
SO far managed to withstand the de-
mand for the dismissal Of these clerks,
who have outgrown their usefulness, but
now admit that the government g work
is being delayed by their retention.
| The Keep commission, which is to
make recommendat for placing the
DEPARTMENTS on business basis, is
exnected to recommend radical meas
ures. The president has time and again
said the departments need new blood
mon and, women with push and energy
and the old clerks do not feel that they
have a friend in him.

hopes on the action OF !cogress.

Journal Special Service. ~ ( .T.'
New York, Nov. 22.-There could not
be a better illustration Of the extraor-
binary prosperity of the country than
the quick and apparently complete re-:
covery Of the money market from the
dangerous conditions Of last week.
There is plenty of evidence OF ma
nipulation, and the bulls who. now are
speeding the market upward seem to
have few if any tangible reasons Tor
the hope that is in them. -
Nevertheless, without interference by
the government, without calling upon
the artificial supply in the treasury re-
Sources and with the bank reserves
still dangerously near the point required
by law, the rates for money steadliy
have gone downward, the 1Wmedlate
stringency has passed by, and strong
bull movement has been lnaugurateG
to the astonishment, it is said, OF al!
| foreign nations, where crash freely
was predicted less than week ago.
The upward tendency in stocks, II
spite Of the bank statement, which Is
comparatively unfavorable, gives on
at a glance the secret of the present
condition of the money market in New
York. The great mass OF the stocks arr
in the hands of strong men with Amos
| unlimited resources, who can and VII
| protect their interests at all hazards
| They were not driven to sell their hold
ings by the extraordinary high price
of money which prevailed last week.
Another thing which shows tn
strength of the money market, backe'
up as it is by the marvellous prosper1t.
of the country, is the fact that the un
usual political situation here in Ne1
York and the astounding revelation
regarding the biggest fnanciers in tn
community have not had any disastrou
effect on the money market.

The fire was caused by an overheated
furnace. "
Sister Mary, one of the teachers, and

the sworn testimony given by President
Richard A. McCurdy of the Mutual

for state campaigns. 1t was also
brought out:
That Senator Platt talked with Presi-

yearly. thru John A. Nichols by the
