for Fairbanks after ten-day stay in Rampant, had the good fortune in Eagle to meet and converse freely with Capt. Amundsen, whose fame has be- come world wide through his recent successful navigation of the northwest lassage.
 MT. Marion is himself a well-informed man on matters pertaining to Arctic exploration. That the meeting with the famous navigator was mutually agreed ble goes without saying.
 Capt. Amundsen was to have started on the return journey to the Gjoa and her gallant crew Jan. 20. It is probable that he will be heard from again on the return to Dawson of detachment of Northwest Mounted Police who recently left that place for Herschel Island. The police went across the Stewart river di vide into Peel river and thence to their destination over d route not hitherto traversed by them. They invited Capt. Amundsen to accompany them, but his Eskimo guides were awaiting him at Fort Yukon and he could not disappoint them. He expected to go up the Porcu- pine and thence back to Herschel Island over his incoming route. He was wait ing in Eagle for mail from Norway,
 on |, may be that he did not get mail commu- nication from Nansen, who had been appointed Norwegian minister to Eng and and was on the ocean bound thither when Amundsen's messages reached the outside world.
 Mir. Marion says Capt. Amundsen is man of great intelligence and he knows practically all that has ever been learned about the Arctic and Antarctic regions. On his present trip he met Eskimo who had never seen white men and who had but vague tradition that such were in existence. There is a bright little Es- kimo boy on board the Gjoa whom Capt. Amundsen will take with him to Nor way.
 The prime object of the expedition was not the navigation of the northwest passage, although that was one of the possibilities considered in laying the plans Capt. Amundsen's principal ef- forts were to be made in taking observa- tions and studying conditions in the vicinity of the magnetic pole. This he accomplished to his satisfaction.
 It is expected that his report will throw much light ou the accepted the- ory that the magnetic pole is not s,a- tipnary.
 statements printed in several papers that Capt. Amundseu had been within ninety miles oi the true pole of course were erroneous. His headquarters was for bong time within ninety miles of where hc believes the magnetic pole e. be, bat be had uo intention of going near the true pale.

The Trolley VS.. the Circus.

That the trolleys Of the middle west
have made theatergoers of the farmers
was stated to me with the greatest
frankness. last summer, by Mr.. James
A. Bailey, proprietor or the Barnum &
Bailey circus.
Ten years ago this country said
Mr. Bailey, was the richest circus
country in the United States. 1t still is,
for that matter, yet circus receipts
have fallen off appreciably here in the
past seven years. blame the innumer-
able trolley systems you have in this
section for it. They have placed the
farmers in easy touch with the towns
and this has resulted in their paying
fairly frequent visits to the town thea
ters. The familiarity with professional
entertainments has served to lessen
their interest in the circus which, ten
years ago. offered them the only en-
tertainment it was possible for them TO
enjoy. Karl Edwin Hartman, in the

SALVATION az TIT7F sFNAT-E.

How the United States senate pro-
tects the Conservative interests Of

from governing is told in an editorial

zine, edited. by the way, by a professor
in the University of Chicago. Shailer
Matthews. Professor Matthews edi-
toriaI Is so well put that It is well worth
reading.
IF conservative oracles divine
truly" he says, the country just now
is in a desperate plight. Reform has
become an orgy. No wonder that
conservative peopIe-especiall these
whose special privileges are under
scrutiny-should view the future with
alarm. What with a nation rising to
demand the examination Of the land
titles of senators. the reduction OF
salaries of insurance dynastl IS, the re-
moval of public funds from banks
that pay half the current rate of inter

law to show that railroads are the ser

try, and an order to advance, rather
than to stand pat conservative re-
spectability, like the car, has need OF
Cossacks.
LAS long as we have the senate the
conservative element of society can
sleep O. nights. If the president yields
to the temptations of extravaganza
and pays Panama commissioners sal
aries which are a fifteenth of those
received by presidents of insurance
companies, the senate will see that
the treasury of the country is not
robbed. If public opinion and ex-
ecutive zeal overreach themselves and
threaten equality of treatment in
railway rates, the senate will protect
the endangered corporations from
demagogie appeal. If the house of
representatives. too susceptible to that
public opinion to which its members
owe their ofice, would. hasten legis-
lation, the senate will wisely guard
the people against that impetuOsity
which would pass bill in a single
session If the business men and the
press of a great city favor the reten-
ton of an efficient postmaster, they
are delivered from unseen evil by the
foresight of a senator who provides
salvation in the person of a practical
politician If the nation at large de-
mands relief from a tariff that checks
the development of important indus
