LETTER RECEIVED TELLS OF
TRIP THUS FAR
AngIo-Amerlcan Polar Expedition Now
Thought to Be Well on Its
Way in the Arctic
Seas
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
PORTLAND, Aug. 6.-By this time
the Anglo American polar expedition is
well on it's way in the Arctic seas.
In a letter received in Portland today
dated at Port Clarence. on July 20,
Ejnar Mikkelsen, who has charge, of
the expedition, says the vessel would
sail that night for the unknown north.
The steamer Is the Duchess of Bed
ford, which had been used as whaler.
Among the head officials Of the party
is Ernest Leffingwell. a Chicago scien-
tist.
A month or more ago the steamer
set out from Unalaska for the Siberian
coast to secure dog teams. 1t was the
intention of the party to stop EN- route
and make an examination of the new
island which appeared recently near
the Pribyloff group, but Mikkelsen says
the winds were unfavorable and seas
rough, and it was decided to abandon
the idea.
Effecting q landing at ST. Lawrence
Island, he explains, they found the ma
tives to be hard up for boating gear and
he succeeded in striking a bargain for
all the dogs he needed. After a trade
was completed the steamer went
through the Behring straits and on to
Port Clarence without mishap, although
the weather was extremely rough.
1t is probable that this will be the
last message received from the eXplor-
ers until they again return to the out
skirts of civilization, which will be
something like two or three years.

By Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Aug 6.--New York and
its environments sweltered all today
and far into the evening, for this was
the hottest day here this year.
More than twenty persons in this city
alone died from the heat, and the hos
pital and police ambulances were kept
busy, so numerous were the cases Of
prostration. These numbered scores.
The government thermometer regis
tered 90 degrees at its highest this af-
ternoon, which is a record for this year.
1t was much hotter in the streets and
some thermometers recorded as. high
as 1O2 degrees. The humidity was ex-
cessive.
Thousands of tenement house dwell
ers could not endure to stay in their
crowded homes and deserted them for
the time being for the city parks and
the seashore, where they will sleep to-
night in the open. The curb brokers in
Broad street were obliged to suspend
business because of the fierceness Of
the suns rays. Special arrangements
were made by the immigration officials
for the comfort of immigrants detained
at Ellis island.
Reports tell of excessive heat
throughout the east.

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. Z, 3:45 a..
MIN the light of yesterdays develop
ments the general strike may almost
be regarded as fasco.
The summons to go out has met
some response in Moscow, where the
printers and the street car men and
part of the employees of the gas, water
and electric light plants quit work, but
these are more than offset by the defec-
tions in st. Petersburg.
The revolutionists may. possibly be
yet saved by the railroad men, but
the central committee of the railroad
men have not yet reached a final de-
cision, and up to the present time, in
spite of the frantic efforts of the agi-
tators, not a single important line of
the empire is affected.
Fifteen Thousand employees of the
government powder mills struck yes
terday, but this was counterbalanced
by the return of the Westinghouse and
other factories, VINO have notified their
superintendents that they will begin
work today.
The printers of st. Petersburg, in
stead of abandoning the strike entire-
ly, have decided to print only one lib
eral newspaper a day. This, however,
really places things in the hands of the
government, as the Novoe Vremya and
the Svet, ,sthe two conservative journals.

and resume publication tomorrow in
unabridged form.
The compositors on the Official Mes
senger joined the strikers yesterday,
but they were at once replaced by mill
tary printers.
The organizers of the strikers are in
despair over the prospects of failure.
Some already counsel calling the strike
OF in an effort to save prestige, but the
majority is waiting in the last hope for
some action on the part of the railroad
men.

CARTAGENA, Spain, Aug. 6.-The
reports continue to arrive here of the
terrible scenes attending the wreck on
Saturday evening off Hormfges island
OF the Italian steamer Sirio, from Ge-
noa, August 2, via Barcelona and other
ports for BuenoS Ayres, resulting in
the loss of over 300 lives.
The drowning of the Bishop of Sa7
opaolo, Brazil, is now attributed to
the action of an Argentine passenger,
who forcibly took from the bishop a
life belt with which the latter had pro-
vided himself Il
One Italian woman kept her three
children afioat on plank until they
were all picked up.
A bridegroom who was on his honey
moon lost his wife and sister, and one
old man who was saved lost three
children.
Capt. Giuseppe Paradi commander
of the Sirio, was 62 years of age and
had forty-five years experience in navi-
cation.
Many Bodies Wash Ashore
Numerous bodies were thrown upon
the shore during the day. Most of them
are persons of the better class. Sew
eral small fishing smacks have arrived,
bringing in some times one and some
times several survivors of the Sirio
who were found floating at sea along
distance from the scene of the disaster.
Spanish warships stationed at Car
tagena and Alicantes have been or
dered to search the neighborhood of the
catastrophe for survivors who may be
still floating on pieces of wreckage or
with life buoyS.
British warships at Gibraltar also
have left at full speed in the direction
of Cape Palos to render assistance in
exploring the surrounding seas.
The first reports of the disaster de-
clared without qualification that the
captain of the Sirio had committed sui
eide Later information, however,
showed that he was on board the
steamer when she sank and expressed
the determination to go down with
his vessel He was afterward rescued
in spite of his refusal to be saved.
The survivors of the Sirio are COM
posed of 34S Italians, forty Spaniards,
fourteen Arabs, ten Austrians, six orr
entails, four Argentlans, four Bra
ziIians, two Montenegrins and 119 per-
sons whose nationality is not set FORTH
One of the woman survivors has

and Paymaster William b. Scofeld,
son Of the late Lieut. Gen. Scofeld, u.
S. A. (retired), committed suicide at
his residence at 3942 Twenty-third
street some time between noon and 8
o'clock today by shooting himself in
the left temple He left note ad-
dressed to Whom 1t May Concern"
reading:
This is deliberate suicide. No one
is to blame but me-"
The discovery was made by his wife,
who upon returning home at o'clock
this evening went to her husband s
room and found him lying dead on the
floor with pistol in his hand. He
had taken off his coat, vest, collar and
cuffs, unrolled his army blankets on
the floor, laid down on them and ap-
parently fired the shot with delibera-
tion.
The reason given by his family for
the deed is worry over his ill health
as the result of service in the Philip
pines, in addition to locomotor ataxia,
thinking that he would become a
burden to his wife.
Fails to Improve
Major Scofield contracted dysentery
in the Philippines and went to Japan
early in the year. Not improving very
rapidly, he came to San Francisco last
April and entered the general hospital
at the Preside. Just before he sailed
from Nagasaki he was informed by
cable of his fathers death in Florida.
After spending some time in the
general hospital he became somewhat
improved, and was granted a three
months leave of absence and had been
residing here with his wife.

and formerly teller in the Nevada
bank in this city and also for a time
In the New York branch of the bank.
He entered the service in 1898 as major
and paymaster of volunteers and
served through the Philippine and
Pekin campaigns.
When the army was reorganized in
1900 he was made captain and paymas-
ter in the regular army, and two years
later was promoted to the rank Of
major. Two years ago he was married
in the Philippines to Miss Laura Egar
He has one brother, Richmond, major
and quartermaster in the army, who is
at present stationed in Manila, and a
