Portland, Ore, Aug. by this

dition is well on the way in the
Arctic seas. In a letter heceived In
Portland Monday, dated at Port
Clarence on July 20, Ejnor Mikkelsen,
who has charge Of the expedition,
says the vessel would sail that night

A month or more ago the steamer
sailed from Unalaska. Landing at
st. Lawrence island, Mikkelsen
writes, they found the natives to be
hard up for boating gear and he sue

all of the dogs needed, thus avoiding
a trip to the Siberian coast After
trade was completed the steamer
went through the Behring straits and
on to Port Clarence without mishap,
although the weather was extremely

1t is probable that this will be the
last message received from the ex-
plorers until they again return to the
outskirts Of civilization, which will
be something like two or three years.

ENTERPRISE TOO SLOW.
Ball Game Yesterday Gave Abilene
Fans An Inning.

[From Saturdays Daily.l
The Enterprise ball team and the
big crowd Of rooters which accom-,
panied them received q bitter dose
yesterday by being badly defeated BY
the fast bunch Of Abilene players.
the score being 70 5.
The game started off with q rush,
! the Abilene team showing q much
better form than in any game they
have played against Enterprise. Giles
was in the box and to his steady work
is largely due the results. Sommer
did fine work behind the bat. In fact
every member Of the team was on his
mettle determined to make fine
showing. Parent was particularly
good at second and also did some
good work with the stickas did also
Glade, Ludee, Lamb, Shearer, Horrell
and Sapp.
Hoffman, Of K. U. fame, pitched for
the visitors until the 9th inning when
Heshley took his place. The Abilene
players simply knocked Hetf out Of
the box, and as the team rendered
him poor support be doubtless became
disheartened. Abilene got its first
two scores through errors and some
Of the rest also. Ten errors were
made by the visitors and six hits
were gotten from them. Abilene
made FIVE errors and gave only three
hits.
The facts are that it was Abilene's
day to play ball and at no time was
the contest in doubt. 1t is hoped
Enterprise will appreciate the dub
bling it got and come again.

From Tuesdays Daily.l
Hopes ball team met sharp defeat
yesterday which was well deserved.
There were only about four Hope
players in the team, the balance be-
ing selected from the Enterprise,
Chapman, solomon and Lincoln teams.
Hoffman was in the box for Hope and
was pounded pretty lard but his sup
port was SO poor that the big score
should NOT be charged entirely against
him. The Hope team was clearly
outclassed.
Giles continued his fine work for
the home team and gave only five
scattered hits. His pitching is as
steady and reliable as any ever seen
here and he can always be depended
upon.

PUNEHES THE INNOCENT
Regarding Discharge of Negro Troops He Thinks 1t Invalidates All Pre- vious Work President Has
 Done for Negro.

Washington, November 1S.-(Special.)- President Roosevelt came in for a se- we're and sensational denunciation tonight at the hands of Rev. ". Bishop Johnson. a negro minister of Washington, for his action in discharging the three compa- iies of negro troops. Johnson in his ad- dress, compared the action of the Presi- dent with that of the Atlanta mob, de- claring that in both instances the guilty and innocent suffered alike.
 MT Roosevelt's punishment of the three companies was unfair, and unmerci- ful,'' he said. "The affair at Atlanta was exactly the affair at the White House, with some of the savage elements elim- mated. All were cut down alike It has always been said that it is better that ten men should escape punishment than one innocent should suffer Wherever this truth has been observed, our civilization has flourished, but MT. Roosevelt has completely ignored this fact. He has pro- ceeded on the principle thet all are guilty and confessed that he knew some were innocent MT. Roosevelt has no faith himself in the tattling scheme, as a way to find out things that men re- gard more harmful to society to tell than to. keep secret
