MIR. ELKINS THINKS
 LEGISLATION LIKELY
FRIENDS OF THE PRESIDENT CLAIM THAT THE OHIO ELEC- TON RESULTS HAVE GREATLY STRENGTHENED HIS HAND.

Washington, November 9.-(Special)- With the arrival of Senator Stephen B. Ellkins, the chairman of the interstate commerce committee, there was renewed gossip in Washington today concerning the likelihood of railway rate legislation this winter.
 The West Virginia senator had little to say on the subject other than that he believed some kind of a bill would be passed He added that he doubted if the committee would be able to make re- port to the senate on December 10 as was intended by the resolution passed last spring. This in itself indicates that the advocates of legislation cannot expect an immediate show down on the part of their opponents.
 Friends of the President claim that the result of the elections, especially that in Ohio, have strengthened his hand in the matter of railroad legislation. It is de- clared that Senator Foraker dragged the rate question into the campaign. though it had nothing to do with the issues pre- sented by Governor Herricks administra- tion. Many claim that his sole object was to get a vote to which he could point as an indorsement of his hostility to the Presidents plan. Foraker's effectiveness as a leader of the opposition on the rail greatly impaired.

FERROUS VOYAGE IS
 MADE ON HUDSON BAY
Party Had Planned to Make the North west Passage and Return Via
 Behring Strait.

St. Johns, N. F., November 9.-The auxiliary Canadian cruiser Neptune ar rived here today after a perilous voyage into Hudson bay, which the cruiser en- tered later in the season than any other vessel Is known to have done. The Nep- tune entered there October 3. On board the cruiser was Major Noodle, governor of Hudson bay. He made the trip to sup ply winter stores to the remote police posts in the Hudson bay country.
 MT. Noodle reports having communl- cation from Copt. Ronald Amundsen's Norwegian expedition in search of the North Magnetic pole as recently as May 22 of the present year. The sloop Gjoads with the expedition on board spent last winter in Simpson strait King William land, four hundred miles north of Full lerton, Governor Noodles headquarters on the northwest side of Hudson bay.
 Captain Amundsen hearing that Can- adian steamer was at Fullerton, dispatch ed letters there last November reporting himself and his companions well but short of dogs. The messenger was start ed back with ten dogs. The messenger reached Captain Amundsen's party May 22 and then returned to Fullerton with a second letter from the head of the ex- pedition reaching Governor Noodle headquarters June 25. The second letter reported that the magnetic and other scientific observations of the party had been conducted undisturbed since the establishment of the magnetic station in October. 1903
 Half of the party began an exploration of Victorialand in April last hoping to achieve the northwest passage this sum mer and come out through Behring strait next season. It was agreed if any ms hap occurred efforts would be made to reach Fullerton.
