WILL. END II.

WITHOUT a doubt the North
Pole-or, To he more exact, the
most northern point of this earth
will soon be known; aud the hidden
mysteries which have for centuries
been only surmised will be common
history.
From North Spitlbergen the air
ship which Is To carry Dumont and
Wellman will start in June, The
starting point is less than 600 miles
from the desired destination and il
Is expected the distance will be
traversed in about fifty hours. The
airship is huge one with great
lifting capacity. but only half
load will be carried.
Dumont and Wellman will take
with them provisions to last nearly
three months - because the un.
certainty OF their trips duration is
very great Many scientific ap-
pliances will be carried-and there
is no imaginable accident for which
the airship will not be equipped.
II is anticipated that the buoyancy
OF the airship will keep it ahoat for
twenty five days-yet complete
apparatus for re-filling it with the
100000 cubic feet OF hydrogen will
be carried,
The scientific world is largely in.
'erested in this proposed voyage
as 1t has been in every expedition
since that of Sir John Franklin's
relief expedition.

ARBITRATION BOARD.

THAT there is one way to SETH,
the question of strikes is agar
suggested by the present troubl,
among coal-miners. II has beei
rumored If the strike continues a.
IL did few years ago-and AL
classes Of people are denied the
opportunity of procuring fuel foi
both domestic aud manufacturing
purposes - that the government
should step in and, by right oi
eminent domain, seize aud operate
the plants. Bu, that is believed Ia
he an illegal method.
The one way out is to have q
non partisan arbitration board Of
national crcation-supplemented by
a board of like character in each
state. These men 10 be OF the
highest character, appointed as the
supreme judges are appointed
with terms Of office ended only bv
death or by reaching the age limit.
With a state board second only
10 supreme national board all minor
differences could he settled
quickly: because when the board
was created |, should he declared
that its findings should be final
and both capital aud labor should
abide by its dccision-and only u
majority report would be needed
from this board.
OF course, the cry might lac
raised that the board would he al
ways OH the side Of the employer
and against the employee; yet the
decisions OF the supreme court are
usually considered free from bias.
And, in any event, there is hi, of
risk ~ every measure.
This method of settling strikes
must, pcriorce, be adopted some
time. Compulsory arbitration will
add wealth To the government by
preventing any cessation in pro-
ducing In other words strike

BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE
Surrey and Other Valuable Contents
Consumed Origin is Un-
known.

Fire was discovered little be.
fore 9 O'Clock this morning in Mrs.
M z. Trips barn on Choctaw
avenue between Fifth and Sixth
streets. II was blazing lively when
discovered and the building and
contents were almost ruined before
the FIRE boys could arrive. The
department made a fast run and
had the flames under control in a
few minutes. A Si7s surrey which
Mrs. Trip had just finished pay
ing for, large amount of winter
clothing, bedding and furniture
which had been stored in the barn,
were among the valuable contents
that were almost a total loss while
two tons of hay was partly destroy
ed. No insurance was carried on
the building.
The origin of the FIRE is not
known, though from appearances it
was the result of carelessness of
boys who lett matches lying about
the barn. w w. George who had
been hauling near the barn twenty
minutes before the fire broke out
says he saw part of box of mat
ches scattered about the place and
it is not improbable that a COM
bination of matches, boys and rats
were responsible for the loss.
