 Owing to the weakness and incapac- ity of their commander. General Sub botich. who was relieved of his duties as governor general simultaneously with the issuing of the proclamation the soldiers were entirely out of hand and had been holding great meetings at which they discussed a plan for the troops to abandon the frontier, march through the empire to St. Petersburg and replace the Romanoff dynasty by a military republic.
 The proposal was seriously discuss sed. many officers being present at the meetings.
 Murders of merchants and rich trav- elers across the border by their own escorts were every day occurrences.

come in Chicago.

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 3.-The long de-
layed discovery of the north pole which
arctic explorers of many nations have
attempted to reach. may become an ac-
complshmed fact us a result of the OBJ
seryations made by Capt. Road
Amundsen. the Norwegian arctic explor-
er and discover of the north magnetic
pole, who arrived in Chicago yesterday.
He was the first to sail through the
northwest passage. Following the greet
ings and congratulations, Capt. Amund-
sen was escorted to the Auditorium An
mex, where he spoke about this expedi-
ton. He explained that while the Brit
ish government had offered q prize of
100000 for navigating the Northwest
passage, the offer had been Withdrawn
long ago, and he did not start on the
expedition in the hope of winning any
thing but scientific knowledge
Il hope that when we obtain the re-
suits or the calculations made from Il
great number of exact observations
taken III the vicinity of the north mag
nctic pole during nearly two years 1t
will aid in determining the exact loca-
ton of the pole Itself, said Capt
Amundsen
The lowest temperature we cncoun-
tered during our passage was 20 degrees
below zero and the highest was 20 de-
greeS above zero. For nearly two years
we lived almost continually among Eski-
mos. and 1t took rs long time to learn
to converse with them. When we showed
them matches they showed great sur
prise and evinced much interest"

THE SUN DANCE.
It Has Nothing to Do with the Sun-1s
More Like Ancient Bacchanal

DR.. Dorsey, writing in the Los Ange-
les Herald of the native tribes of the
west, remarks that what is known az
the sun dance has no evidence of the SUP
in it,
It is instead an ancient rite continued
till much of the reason for its institur
ton has been forgotten, but what is
known is that it is regular in recurring,
that it 10 kept up eight days and illus
trates the creation or regeneration of the
world. This would seem to denote that
it is counterpart of the Bacchic rites
and Adonis worship of former periods in
which. under the figure of the death and
resurrection of the divine being, the
whitening and renewed growth of vege-
tation were implied.

Why Sailors Trousers Are Baggy

A navy man has been explaining to a
landsman that baggy ones are the only
possible trousers for a man-o'-war's
man.
They are baggy at the bottoms" he
said, so that they will roll up above the
knee conveniently and easily. Sailors
washing it is necessary to have the legs
bare to the knees. Trousers of ordinary
cut. rolled above the knees, would cramp
the flesh of the upper legs and hinder
the circulation, but sailors trousers may
be taken by their wide bottoms and
pulled in a jiffy up to the hip. They fit
the thigh like a hip boot. Sailors trou-
sers, in word have so odd a shape be-
cause they are cut from the knee down
to fit the leg from the knee up."-Liver-
pool Post and Mercury.
