Fish's Successor.

James T. Harahan. who through the

Central many years. and was advanced
from one grade 10 another by the man
whose place he IS 70 take. He started as
brakeman on the road, soon after the
close Of the civil war, and has been with

Mr. Benson Too Modest.

In the scramble for the Senatorship in
Kansas made vacant by the resignation
Of Burton, and which now seems TO be
unsettled. although the Republicans have
carried the legislature, even the name Of
the holder Of the seat by appointment.
Judge Benson, seems to be forgotten. No
more modest and withal painstaking a
statesman has appeared in Washington
for years than Judge Benson. He came
to the Senate only a few weeks before the
adjournment Of the last session, and be
cause OF his apparent shyness, the ribald
element of the press gallery had consid-
erable sport at his expense. All sorts Of
stories were concocted about him, and his
home papers were kept busy denying
them. Judge Benson went his way
serenely, however and at the close of the
session he was universally respected. He
is the type Of clean cut, straightforward
Westerner, and in any assemblage would
be picked out as a Kansan of the better
class He has served his home people in
various capacities, not brilliantly in any
Of them, but faithfully, and the only
wonder IS that his modesty ever permit
ted him to get into politics at all.

PEARY PARTY ALMOST sTARvE.
They Had to Eat Fourteen Dogs on
Wav Back From the Pole.

WAY Back From the Pole.
New York.-In a special from sgd
ney. N. s., the World today gives some
details of the hardships endured by
Lieutenant Peary and his men in their
futile dash for the north pole. After
reaching the most extreme Greenland
settlement, it is stated, 70 Esquimaux
and 100 dogs were secured and tnen'
taking the ice, the steamer Roosevelt
drifted on and steamed through the
barrier of 1927 degrees north, where
winter quarters were taken up, being
the farthest north winter quarters in
the history of Arctic exploration.
Arrangements to secure the ship and
make all comfortable were completed
by February Z, 1906, and on that day
Peary, with .-.s Esquimaux and three
teams of dogs made his start for the
pole. Other parties also went out IN
charge of Captain Bartlett, DR.. Wolfe,
R. G. MARGIN, j. Clarke and M. Ryan,
respectively.
These were relief parties, and they
kept so miles apart.
During the first part Of the journey
moderate weather prevailed and Peary
made good speed. Before his return
to his ship, lit days later, however,
conditions changed and terrible suffer
ing from hunger and privation was en-
dured.
Undeterred, Peary went further for
ward into the Arctic night until he
reached the highest point ever reached
by any explorer, S7.06 north latitude,
within 1853 miles of the pole.
Before he started on the return voy-
age the food supply had almost given
tered a fierce snowstorm which lasted
wick and which drove the party out
of it's course. Peary Immediately set
out to recover his lost course, but be
fore he succeeded hunger threatened
and Peary was compelled to kill some
of his dogs The commander enjoyed
the luxury of dog meat equally as wei
as his Esquimaux. When Peary re
turned to the ship only three dogs out
of II remained, IA having been eaten
Musk OK and deer killed on the roat
by Esquimaux helped the famishet
men.
Clarke, with one of the relief parties
also went astray and he was compelled
to kill some of his dogs to provide
food. Clarke, it appears, was unable
to find his way back, but Peary luckily
came across his tracks and went tt
Clarkes rescue. Clarke, it is stated
has not yet recovered from his trying
experience.

eermany's old Age Pensions.

The 25th anniversary of the late
Prince Bismarck's announcement in
the reichstag that the emperor was
determined that the state should sys-
tematically assist the working people,
male or female, by accident, sick and
old age insurance, was commented on
widely Saturday in the German press,
which approved or disapproved of the
results according to the political opin-
ions Of the commentators.
The socialists, following the policy
which they adopted when the laws
were passed, found fault with the in
surance as being inadequate and not
radical enough to really provide for
the casualties in the industrial war
fare and the disabilities of those worn
out In the service of capital" but the
whole body Of liberal and conservative
opinion appears to be convinced that
the laws are beneficial. During the
last 20 years s555,75O,00O has been
paid out for sickness; 1892, 100000 for
accidents and s13,500,000 for old age.
