NEW YORK, Nov, 27.-Thrilline
from beginning TO end is Robert f.
Peary's own account, written for the
New York Herald and the Seattle
Times, Of his last desperate dash In
search Of that fleeting will o'the wisp-
the north pole-the pursuit of which
has been his life work The story OF
the two months, from February %
when he left the Roosevelt, frozen in
at Cape Sheridan, to April Fl, when he
planted his flag on the summit Of an
ice pinnacle in latitude 81 degrees, &
minutes north, is almost terrifying, al
though told in the simple language OF
a narrator Of cold facts.
But the terrors and hardships en-
/ countered on the way to the newest
farthest north were as nothing to
those On the return to the ship. Pro-
visions nearly gone, Peary and his
companions, blind from the glare Of
the snow and from the ice particles
that a steady gale drove into their
faces, dogs giving out and being fec
to other dogs and tc the explorers
themselves-thus did the party nght

Water Bars the Way.
And then it seemed as II all hope
must be given up when a lane Of
black, forbidding water barred theil
way. For days they made their way
along it's edge, seeking occasionally
to cross it on floating, slushy ice, only
to be driven back to shore Sometimes
it seemed as If they would not &c,
back.
Finally they found the water two
miles wide spanned by rubber ice.'

words, and though the frail bridge
creaked and bent under them, they

ELECTRICITY DOES FAST work

BUFFALO, Nov. 27.-Over million
tons Of ore can be handled at the new
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad ore docks here.
These were built to keep pace with
the ever-growing ore traffic on the
Great Lakes. The large dock at Erie
was not sufficient for the great ton
mage OF ore that passes over the rail-
road from Lake Erie to Pittsburg.
The electric machinery with which
the Buffalo dock is equipped can ham
die 500 tons of ore an hour and put it
directly into cars along the face OF the
dock or into large storage bins capa-
BILE Of holding from 100000 to 100000
tons Of ore.
In the last few years the ore ship
ments over the lakes nave increased
so rapidly that the dock builders have
been put to it to hold up their end of
the work. Thirty-four million tons OF
ore were shipped from the Lake Su-
perior mines from May to December,
1905. three times the tonnage passing
through the Suez canal in a year. The
Pennsylvania has made prompt provi-
sion for taking care of these snip
ments.
With the enormous increase in traf-
fic, the unloading facilities had to be
ravolutionzed. Until the last three
an ordinary steel tub, holding about
one ton. When a bucket went down
into the hold of a vessel, gang OF
shovelers filled it with ore. Now the
method of unloading is entirely differ
ent. Self filling baskets, each of from
five to ten tons capacity, are used and
no snovelers except to clean up the
fragments of a cargo.
Two EAST" Plants.
On the new dock, along the face OF
the canal, are two "fast plants" and a
"stif-leg" unloader that can transfer
cargoes into cars and into the storage
bins with equal facility. The unloade1
can handle 200 tons of ore in an hour
and the fast plants" each have a ca
pacity Of $50 tons an hour.
The depth of the water at the dock
and at the entrance of the Channel is
sufficient for the largest class Of boats
Complete arrangements for fueline
vessels for the return trip are made
The entrance by canal is convenient
and the time lost in getting vessels ir
and out is reduced to a minimum, be-
cause no turning of boats is necessary
The new dock is close to the mair
harbor at Buffalo and is we'll protected
by breakwaters.
The Philadelphia and Erie dock al
Erie, Pa, is 1900 feet long and its
average width is $50 feet. 1t has {
storage capacity Of 10000 tons. New
hoists. recently built, are of heavy con.
struction, with clam shell buckets o.
one and a nalf tons capacity each
With the dock at Erie and the new
one at Buffalo the Pennsylvania rail
road can unload 100000 tons Of ore
during the nagivation season.

IS THE SENATE ROTTEN?

The United States senate was,
until recently, considered the
highest type Of American citi-
zenship. The attainment to this
high station was a prize worthy
Of the noblest ambition, but is it
so now? Senators have been
found corrupt, their sins were
discovered, and the locks of jails
have clanked in their faces;death
rescued one from a criminals
garb. One is now lingering be-
hind Gagged doors in fulflment Of
a court sentence, and there are
others now sitting in the Ameri-
can parllment who would better
fit a stone pile. The recent trag-
edy in Washington lifted theveil
from the black sin of a former
senator and exposed IN all of it's
hideousness the double life of a.

It is stated that Hon. J. Fra
ser Lyon, recently elected At

ed from the West, where ne has
been making Investigations in
connection with the dispensary.
Mr.. Lyon told a reporter that
strong prima facie evidence has
been produced already, but
with public sentiment divided, it
would be difficult to convict on
what has been brought out.
However, if the legislature
should instruct him to go ahead
with Administrations, he would

be the heighth of folly to have
an Investigating committee that
will not corporate with the At

any. 1t was plain to be seen
that the present committee was
not unanimous IN their metnooS
of searching, and in their con.
clusions, the Investigated had
friends on the committee looking
after their interests. There is
only one way to accomplish to-
wards getting positive evidence
of corruption, and that is by
legislation giving the Attorney
General the same power and the
means to have investigations
made by experts. as is given to
the prosecuting officers in other
States. Let him have the books
of the dispensary searched by
an expert, and let him have the
power to bring suits in the
United States Court for any
sums of money due the State
which are not properly credited.
An action for an accounting IN
the United States Courts may
even unearth treasury that vas
