Brussels, May 30.-At today's session ot the international polar congress Her bert l..

The coast of Grantland will be followed west ward to Cape Columbia over route which will shorten the distance 100 miles and counteract the effects of the eastern currents Upon the return voy- age Lieutenant Peary proposes to ex-

Pig iron stocks at this time gre said to approximate 1,500,000 tons. This figure looks large, but at the rate of consumption for the larger part of 19J7 it would mean only about two weeks SUD- plies. Those who have been disappoint- cd that the market price of iron and steel shares has not responded to this revival in pig iron should remember that a very material advance took place in anticipation thereof.

 From down on the corner of William ond Pine streets comes the story of a arrow escape from a rupture between D. H.

 This campaign has had it's greatest success in the towns. It is doubtful If the larger cities will ever abolish the saloons altogether.

The stock market is drifting into political period which IS moro than likely to be decidedly disturbing. As the political conditions become more clearly defined it is growingly evident that the dominant party will have a real fight on it's hands this year-a fight full of dynamite and trouble with all tn possibilities of two or three years of violent tariff agitation and the reframing of the personnel of the su- preme court of the United States. Viewed at it's best there is nothing in the political situation now or for the next several months conducive to mar ket serenity. The best the stock mar ket can look for out of the political tumoil is the worst of it.

 During the year 1907 550,00O foreign CTS left this county for their former homes taking with them approximate ly S9O,O00, ,o00 It is due 10 say in this connection. however. that only smai. proportion oe this aggregate of $50, 0e0 COG in F months came out of the banks or visible suppllLs of currency.
 It is the habit of people of this kind to keep their money in their stockings, ip the bottom of teapots or in the mat tress. So in reality a very considerable part of this large total reappears in cir Culaton by reason of the re-mgration, being spent for steamer fare and other travelling expenses. It is a curious fea- ture of immigration statistics that more foreigners return to their old world homes during the years of presidential campaigns than at any other time.
 This has been especially noticeable dur ing the last F years. It is also noticed that during presidential campaign years foroign-born citizens are prone to send a considerable part of their savings abroad for deposit The huobub and ex- cite-nent and the seeming lierceness of the great political battles appear to ter rifv the new arrivals, most of whom left the old country to get rid of just that sort of thing

The manner in which some of the so- called .malefactors of great wealth" have taken advantage of White House hospitality to feather heir own nests and to promote their warfare of az. gression stands out more clearly as time grows older. It does not appear that any single one of the parties against whom the Washington batteries were turned most vigorously has lost ground by reason tn ereof On the con- trary many of them are more strongly entrenched and richer than before the attacks began.

The Business Of Farming.

We are just awakening to the fact
that the value of farm land Is rap
idly increasing in America. Ever since
the discovery of the continent there
have been vast tracts Of unoccnpied
land subject to free settlement until
now. We have at last filed up the
continent and al, the land worth till
ing is under ownership. We are doing
much by irrigation to reclaim the arid
lands. but these are rapidly filed up
as soon as they are made tillable.
Relieved Of the pressure Of vacant
lands. there can be no doubt that the
va!ue Of farms will continue to rise
and the value Of farm products will
rise with them. The present depres-
sion in the commercial and industrial
world has caused no drop in the price
Of farm products, no particular de-
crease in the cost Of living: indeed. it
has increased. il measured by wages.

The excuse sounded all right and

was a myth.
The truth was: Preoccupicd he had

much to his surprise. Where In the
mischief were his wife and children:
he wondered. Why didn't they tell

He went all around the house and
tried the doors, but they were locked.
Then he found q piece Of iron in the

He crowded out through the win
