Thousands of forest wolves had to be fought hundreds of miles at a stretch, then the fierce Chukehee Indian tribes and hostile Siberian exiles.
 When Okhotsk was reached, fort had to be built to spend the winter in. There, also, number of vessels for the sea voyage to Petropaulovski had to be constructed. And after Petropaulovski was reached, two stout double-Gecker vessels for the . perilous ocean voyage had to be built and equipped.
 And all these preparations for the mere beginning of the expedition took eight years to accomplish

COUNTESS B0NI
SCORES FIRST
American Wife of De CaStellane
Retains Children &c. J. Gould
Invites Her.

PARIS, Feb. 6.-Countess Boni de
Castellane, formerly Miss Anna Gould,
has received a message from her broth
er. George J.. Gould of New York, in
which he expressed his sympathy and
invited her to visit him in America. 1t
is quite likely that she will accept the
Invitation pending trial of her divorce
suit which she has brought against
Count Boni.
Notwithstanding published denials, ii
is a fact that President Ditto of the
First civil chamber has issued a decree
authorizing the Countess de Castellane
to have provisional custody of the Cas-
tellane children. This fact has been ver-
flied in the courts. =
Before the countess was allowed to
enter her plea for divorce the court
tried to bring about a reconciliation.
according to the French custom, but all
in vain. The judge is said to have been
assisted in this by friends of both the
count and countess.
According to reports, very strong eff
forts were made, particularly ON the
part of the family of Count Boni de
Castellane, to bring about a re~concilia-
ton. The De Castellane family is re-
ported as saying that they expected to
bridge over the trouble, although it is
said that when members sought the
countess in an attempt to negotiate a
peaceful outcome of the affair she ex-
claimed:
MY happiness has disappeared. This
can never overlook. l have borne
much, but this is too shameful"
In the meanwhile the troubles of the
Castellanes are food for gossip through
out all Paris. The nam of the Duchess
dues is frequently linked with that of
Boni. She is the celebrated Duchess
Marie Therese, wife of D'Uzes. the pre-
mier duke and peer of France. She
stands high in Paris society and is said
to be beautiful. 1t is whispered about
Paris that as a result of all these de-
y%elopments Il duel is impending be-
tween the husband of the duchess and
the count. The count has been in duels
before and is perfectly at home with
foils, being considered one of the best
duelists in Europe, and he is almost as
good with a sword. =
The countess is still living. with her
boys. ut the beautiful mansion which
De C~astellane erected on the Bots de
Boulogne. The count is living at his
club.
