GREAT NAVAL DISPLAY

 sembled at One Time.

Washington, D. C.-Practically all naval vessels of the Atlantic fleet may rendezvous off Oyster bay late In Sep tember and be reviewed by President Roosevelt.
 Secretary Bonaparte said that 1t had not yet been decided to have review. but that the question may be consid cred later. If it Is decided to have a review, the largest number of Amer lean warships ever assembled at one time will anchor of Oyster bay The fleet will consist of about Is first class battleships, all in the navy except the ohio, Wisconsin and one or two oth- CTS Of the Asiat!e squadron, and sev. eraI cruisers and torpedo boats de- stroyers

ing to his calculations, he would reach home not later than October of this year.
 Eskimos and dogs. it is supposed. were taken aboard the Roosevelt last summer, for it Is on the hardy inhabit- ants of the polar regions that Peary always relied. It was thought. how ever, that a whaling vessel might bring some tidings of the Roosevelt, and the failure of any news of the ex- petition to reach the outside world for so many months Is arousing the keenest anxiety.
 It is now just thirty years slnce Peary began his work as an Arctic explorer.
 Since 1886, when he made his first journey, his great aim in life has been to reach the one spot on earth which ever has been considered unattainable He has not forgotten, however, to make complete scientific observations on his trips, and has contributed as much, if not more, than any other ex plorer to knowledge of the polar re gions.

 FEAR THAT CAPT. PEARY IS LOST.
HI

Washington-That Capt Robert E. Peary has sacrificed his life in the eff fort to discover the north pole is the fear of naval men here, who are wor. ried by the failure to get any tidings of the ship Roosevelt, which sailed for the Arctic regions, July 16, 1905.
 Advices from the American Geo. graphical society add to their fears. Re ports are that the weather in the far north this spring and early summer was more than usually rigorous, that severe storms have been frequent and that the ice is heavy. Consequently, it is feared that Peary's ship may have been ground to pieces by the drifting foes.
 The explorers plans, when he left last summer, were to proceed to the farthest possible point of land north of Cape Sabine, and within 500 miles of the pole.
 There he was to establish a winter base and make all preparations for a dash across the ice this summer as soon as weather conditions would per init. This he expected would not occu- py more than six weeks and, accord

II Pacus as a special envoy to present the Salvadorean position to the Amer ican authorities and prevent any SC rious internal complication.

Does 1t Belong to Us?

Taeoma.-A new island has risen above the sea near Boroslov Island, Alaska, which was thrown up by a similar eruption about 100 years ago. The infant island presents super ficial area of several acres, and with Boroslov and another small island, which rose from the depths in 1882, forms the points of small triangle about 70 miles west of Unalaska. News was brought to Unalaska by fishermen, who were unable to ap- proach the island because the water surrounding 1t was still seething from heat, indicating that the islands up heaval was of recent occurrence. When the observers attempted to ap. proach the new island closely they found the water so hot they were compelled to keep away. The Alaska peninsula and its land extension, the Aleutian chain of islands, lie in vol canic belt, and occasional eruptions occur throughout the length of the peninsula and the archipelago.

THE ALTON INJECTED
s4o,ooo IS THE PRICE FOR REBAT.
 ING IN TWO CASES.
Two Officials Also Taken in to the Tune of $5,ooo Each for Granting
 the Said Rebates.

Chicago.-Judge Landis in the United States District Court sen fenced the Chicago and Alton Rail. road. which was recently convicted of granting Illegal rebates at Kansas City. to pay fine of s20,000 in each of two counts, or total Of $i0,000.
 John Faithorn and Fred A. Wann, former officials of the road, who were also convicted of granting the re- bates, were sentenced to pay a fine of s5,000 each on two counts, or total of $l0,000 each.
 The defendants were fined on two counts of an indictment containing ten counts. The specific charge on which they were convicted was that they had given to the Schwarzchild Sulzberger Company rebate of one dollar per car on shipments for the Kansas City plant of the packing company. The defendants claimed that the charge was made against them by the packing company. which had the right to levy it because it owned the track near the plant, and therefore had the right to charge the railroad for trackage.
 Judge Landis. in his instructions, practically directed the jury to bring in a verdict of guilty, and after 1t had been rendered the attorneys for the railroad and for the individual defendants asked to be given time to show that the rebate was public, and not secret affair. The attorneys for the raiload said that they had not ben able to bring witnesses into court to testify because they feared pros ecution themselves.
 The fine inflicted by Judge Landis Is identical with that imposed on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail- road in similar case by Judge Bethea In the United States Court
