 Territory as American.

Territory as American.
 Washington, Feb. 10.--Upon the the ory that there existe in the Arctic re- gions an enormous archipelago as yet unexplored. lying between the Parry Islands and Wrangel Land, off the Si- berian coast, Captain Ejamar Mikkel- son, commander of the Anglo American poler expedition. will undertake what Is said to be an entirely novel campaign in the history of Arctic expeditions. Although a subject of Denmark, Cap tain Mikkelsen, upon discovering the new continent, intends to plant there the American flag and claim 1t as Q possession of the United States. He has no intention of trying to reach the North Pole, an undertaking which he believes to be both improbable and use less of attainment. Y
 Captain Mikkelsen 4oday, accom- panied by the Danish Minister and MI Henry Edward Rood of New York city called upon the President and explain ed to him the objects and purposes ot the expedition. President Roosevelt expressed his hearty approval of the enterprise. It was explained that the intention of Captain Mikkelsen is tq make scientific investtgations which will probably result in new and import ant additions to present knowledge oi
 Captain Mikkelsen will have as his companions on the expedition which it is proposed shall start from San Francisco in May of the present year Ernest Lif1ngwell of the University oi Chicago and Ejnar Dittevsen of Copen- hagen.
 Mir. LefingwelPs father. a prominent educator of Knoxville, Ills.. has sub- scribed literally to the undertaking. as has Mikkelsen himself. Additional sums have heen contributed by indi- viduals in America. In It's entirety the expedition goes out under the auspices of the Royal Geographical Society and an American magazine.

coming conduct, 1t found such a re-
|sponsive chord in the meeting that 1t
started the Peoria representatives TO
thinking. Mr.. Sexton readily con-
WINGED Mr. Quinn that there was some
thing about baseball law that the latter
was not familiar with
Nothing Done TIL Evening.
The board finally reached the even
ing session without accomplishing re-
suits, and then after going over the sit
Euation, adjourned for an hour to give
the Peoria club an opportunity to pro-
duce the names of the members of the
team who were guilty of the charges of
giving out the reports rejecting upon
the league and Belden Hill, under pen
atty of dismissal from the league.
The Peoria representatives in the
meantime got together and when the
board reassembled the committee COM
posed of Messrs. Finley, Pindell, and
Quinn appeared again and Mr.. Finley
informed the meeting that the desired
Information could be had at any one
of 25 saloons in Peoria. This sugges-
ton Infatuated Manager Hill, who re-
lOllSQ IHdI lllS lCd5uG was nv eoOAh0
to run about the saloons of Peoria
looking for vindication and incidental
ly Mr.. Hill reproached President Hol-
land for sitting quietly and tolerating
such propositions before the meeting.
President Holland then informed Mr..
Finley that the meeting would enter
tain no suggestions of this kind and
that the Peoria club would have to
obey the leagues mandate to produce
the players complained of or stand the
consequences Thereupon Mr.. Finley
gave the name of George Hughes, sec
ond baseman of the Peoria team as the
man who had given out the interview.
The meeting was for eXpelling Hughes
then and there, but Mr. Sexton object
ed on the ground that the evidence
was not sufficient, but moved that
Hughes be suspended for the remain
der of the season pending further in
vestigation. Mr.. Sexton in the same
connection accused the Peoria repre-
of using Hughes as scape-
goat for Manager Charles Buelow;
whom he regarded as the real offender.
Passed Over TIL October.
The meeting thereupon adjourned to
the October meeting with a resolution
the Peoria club to then pre-
sent the names of any other Peoria
players guilty of the offenses of which
it is admitted that Hughes is guilty of,
under penalty of forfeiture of fran
chise.
Before the adjournment Messrs.
Finley, Quinn and Pindell compliment
ed the league representatives on their
firm and manly attitude in the defense
of clean baseball and indicated that
the Peoria club would cooperate in
that spirit hereafter.
All the clubs, Mr.. Sexton said today,
are determined in the matter of weed
ing the Peoria case to the roots.
Hughes is suspended for the season.
but will be given a chance to defend
himself before suffering heavier pen
atty. And it is likely that Buelow. too.
will have hearing that will not be to
his liking before the Peoria situation is
adjusted.
