EXPLORER HEADED FOR POLE,
First Message Is Received from the
Cook Arctic Expedition.

New York. The first message
from DR.. Frederick E. Cook, the
arctic explorer, since he started for
the pole from a point north Of Etah
February &c, has been received in this
city. 1t was brought here by Rudolph
FRANKIE, who accompanied DR.. Cook
on the early stage OF his journey and
who received it from the explorer by
messengers whom he sent back to the
winter base after he was we'll on his
way to the north. The message was
written March II, about three weeks
after DR.. Cook had started on the last
stage of his journey. 1t was dated
polar Sea, North of Cape Hubbard"
and said that up to that point every
thing had gone well, although the
weather was extremely cold. He was
making a straight line for the pole at
that time, he said, and expected to be
back at the base late in May.
Il am making straight course for
the pole," DR.. Cook wrote. "The boys
are doing we'll and l have plenty OF
dogs. hope to succeed. At any rate.
l shall make desperate effort. While
I expect to get back by the end OF
May, still wish you to be ready to
go to Acponie, the island off North
Star, where the whalers' steamers
come, by the 5th of June, and If am
not back, to go home with the whalers

Thsre will be much discussion OF
farming for the next few months from
many angles, one among them being
the most useful size of farms, says a
writer in Golfers Weekly. We do
not wish to be one-sided, and shall
always state fairly the large farm Or
combination arguments. but it seems
to ~ that farming in this respect is
the exception among businesses. Eco.
Monty In the cost Of supervision Is the
only reason for the expansion Of the
unit s. any business, and land is more
productive under. the small farm sys-
tenn. Even IL larger farm units are
possible they are not desirable. We
do not want the European regime OF
an overload with tenant farmers. We
want the greatest number Of independ.
sent little farmers, who hardly need
even one farmland. James J. Hill
has more sense than nearly all of the
professors, and he delivered an opin-
lion two years ago to the effect that
the individual farmer must have fewer
acres and more hoes. 81

1HAW SENT BACK TO ASYLUM
RETURNED TO MATTEAWAN By
ORDER OF JUSTICE MILLS.
Trial by Jury Is Denled'-Counsel for
Prisoner Refuse to Submit
Evidence Of His Sanity.

White Plains, N. Y. Harry
K. Thaw will have to remain in the
state hospital for the criminal insane
at Matteawan, N. Y, until the court
Of appeals shall decide whether he is
entitled to a hearing before a jury to
determine the question of his sanity.
Justice Mills Of the supreme court re.
fused week or two ago to grant the
application of Thaw's counsel for a
jury trial on the sanity question and
decided to hear the case himself. The
hearing was fixed for Monday. When
Thaw was brought into court his
mother and several relatives were
present.
The prisoners counsel again moved
for jury trial, and when this was
denied asked that Thaw be discharged
from custody on the ground that the
jury in the last trial for murder did
not find him insane. This, also, was
denied. Thaw's counsel then de-
clared that they had appealed to the
New York state court of appeals from
, the decision refusing jury trial and
that until the higher court had given
a decision they would submit no evi.
dence on the question of Thaw's san.
ity.
Justice Mills said there was no 9TH
err alternative than for Thaw to be re-
turned to Matteawan asylum, and he
was ordered to be returned to that IN
stitution.
District Attorney Jerome of New
York, who withdrew from the case
when Justice Mills refused to trans.
| fer it to New York, did not appear in
court Monday.
As soon as the judge had ordered
Thaw sent back to Matteawan an or
der citing him to appear in
Pittsburg forthwith and give testi
mony in the United States court in
the bankruptcy proceedings brought
against him there was served upon the
| prisoner. It could not be learned
what action will be taken In this
| matter.
An order committing Thaw to Mat
teawan asylum was signed by Justice
Mills in the afternoon and he was
taken back to that institution. DR.
Baker, acting superintendent of the
asylum, said he would produce Thav
in Pittsburg If he were served witt
| an order to that effect.

BALKAN PROGRAM
GREAT BRITAIN, RUSSIA AND
FRANCE UNITED IN PROPOSAL.
THEY RECOGNIZE BULGARIA
TIE Program Also Includes Rec
ognition of Austria's Annexation
Tof Bosnia and Herzegovina.

St. Petersburg, Oct. ia further
important detail of the discussions be-
tween M. Iswolsky and Baron Arhren'
, thai, in their interview at Buchau mas
been learned. Baron Won Achrenthal
preached the question OF the OAR
danelles and offered to support the
Russians wishes with regard to the
strait In return for Russia's accept
ance of the annexation Of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Since the powers have
practically swung around to this point
of view with regard to annexation,
Russia Is in position to claim fulfill
ment to the promise. Austria has
not formally been consulted as to the
programme elaborated.
London, Oct. 15.-Great Britain
Russia and France have reached an
agreement on programme to be sub
mitted to the other powers as basis
for discussion by the proposed
European conference to settle the
Balkan situation. The proposals to
be laid before the powers are eight
in number. The first recognizes the
independence of Bulgaria as at pres
ent constituted and determining the
financial obligations of Bulgaria to-
ward Turkey. The second and third
proposals are that the powers shall
take note of the annexation Of Aus
tria-Hungary of Bosnia and Herze-
govina, and the return Of the Sanjak
of Novipazar to Turkey. The fourth
article relates to Crete, by clauses re-
cognizing the annexation of Crete to
Greece, and determining the financial
obligations of Greece in respect to
Crete toward Turkey. The fifth pro.
posal Is to the effect that arranoe-
ments similar to the above shall ap.
ply to the Armenian provinces Of
Turkey. The sixth article deals with
Montenegro and her rights of sover-
eighty. The seventh point in the pro.
gramme is the statement that 1t Is
desirable to seek and give compnsa'
ton to Servia and Montenegro by a
rectification of the Bosnian and Her
zegovinian frontiers adjoining Novi'
pazar. The eighth proposal concerns
the river Danube, and declares it is
desirable to revise the regulations
governing the Danube traffic so as to
give larger rights to the states Dor
dering on the river.
The eight articles of the programme
are followed by declaration that as
the new Ottoman constitution fore
shadows a reorganization of the Judi
cial system and remodeling Of Turk
ish legislation in conformity with the
principles of other European states
the powers are prepared to consider
In concert with Turkey as soon as
these reforms are realized, the best
means Of doing away with capitula
tions. 1t is desired also that this oc
casion should be taken to consider the
abolition Of the postofices now main
:ained by foreign powers in Turkey
