Gen. Greedy Tells of Peary's
Discovery of Stores in 1898

NORTH, CONWAY. N. H., Sept. 21.-
General A. w. Greedy. U. S. A. (retired),
talked brifly last night regarding the dis
covery by Commander Robert z. Peary's
party of some of the stores of the Gree
ly expedition in 1888. He said:
Those stores were left by me in 1855
when retreating southwark. In 1898 when
Peary went north during the winter from
his ship then wintering at Cape Durville,
he was badly frozen and was obliged to
seek shelter at my old quarters in Dis
covery Bay. He then lost eight toes and
was saved from death by the stores then
found by him in good condition. l think
1t was more than two months before he
was able to return to his ship. There
was left at Conger all the books. cloth
ing and other personal belongings of %
men. Almost anything might be found,
as we took with us only our scientific
records, diaries and the clothing which
we wore, with ten pounds of selected
personal property for each man."

LEOPOLD RALLIES
FROM OPERATION
Able to Sign Military Law Of
Great Moment to Belgian
People.

Brussels. Dec. fixing Leopold to-
day underwent most serious opera
ton and astounded the surgeons by
the manner in which he withstood it.
His remarkable recuperative bowers
manifested themselves directly he re-
gained consciousness, and the optim-
istic spirit which I've has shown
throughout the course of his illness
returned to him. The operation was
for relief OF simple obstruction OF the
intestines.
To night the King Is making a
plucky night for life. He was even
strong enough to sign the new mill
tary law. just passed by the Senate.
But the battle has not yet been com
pletely won. The crisis probably will
last three days. There is a possib!l
ity that the intestine will lie gripped
by paralysis in which case a rocur-
renee of the obstruction IS likely and
another operation would be necess!t =
ated.
Leopold emerged from the operation
of cnterotomy with regular pulse
and cheerful. He was SO talkative
that the doctors were obliged 10 war;,
him, after which the patient fell into
a light refreshing slumber The con-
dition OF His Majesty tonight is stat
ed to be satisfactory.
To-day has been dcubly moincntou. in
Belgian history. 1r the presence of
Prince Albert, who has a hereditary
right to a seat the Senate adopted with
the concurrence Of the chamber. mill
tary law which once threatened to over
turn the cabinet. Tho measure involves
the complete reversal OF the system of
recruiting tho army. 1t provides for the
service of ore son in each family. in
stead of general recruitment by lot. but
more important, all are forbidden to hire
substitutes. The bill fixes the peace
strength at 5000 and war strength at
$4,000. King Leopold favors the law
and his supporters nave been most anx-
ious that he shoud have the opportun-
ity 10 attach his signature 20 it.
The last member Of the diploma tic
corps to sec King Leopold was the
American minister. Henry Lane Wilson
who was received q fortnight ago pre-
pa"atory 20 his departure TO his new
post in Mexico. The King was then
in tho gaycst of spirits, and conversed
in English, in which he is an adept. He
spoke in admiration Of and paid Il warm
tribute to Mr.. Taft. He asked the min
lister to convey his respects to the Presi-
dent. adding aushinsly: But do hope
that the United States will change from
her drastic attitude on Congo"

Orleans. Dec. 13-Seventy hands were

'ustral activity of this town suffered
,evere blow when the Oldest of the f. L.
Chandler Co. mills in this town was al
most totally destroyed By fire tonight.
At eleven o'clock the fire is thought to
De under control afte~ a desperate fight
~ two hours. The railroad station stu
ated but few rods away and the whole
north end of the village were saved only
oy the snow storm. which covered the
roofs with a heavy protective mantle.
owing to q rush of orders the mill
!orce had been working overtime leaving
Tonight at 9:l5 o'clock, when everything
ihout the building seemed to be IN Or
Ter. Fifteen minutes later flames burst
rom the roof in the middle OF the struc-
.ure
The efficient private fire fighting sys-
tenn of the company was at once brought
INTO play and 1t was soon augmented by
the village apparatus but the several
streams turned on the seething furnace
were as nothing. AS the fire dies out only
a portion of one end of the building
remains standing. several piles of lumber
md one car, half full of finished stock
being included in the loss.
1t is particularly hard to estimate the
loss because CT the unusually large stock
on hand. Elmer r. Doc. manager OF the
mill. woull attempt to name no
figure. but various estimates place it at
from $4,000 to $4,000 1t is thought that
10000 is an extremely conservative esti-
mate.
The company have several mills here
and others ut Lisbon ~ H., but this
was the oldest one It was three stories
high and 56Xi3t feet in ground dmen-
sions. Two years ago their facilities here
were greatly increased and the force
OF men enlarged. 1t is probable that in
view of tho large amount of business
in sight the mill will he rebuilt as soon
possible Meanwhile the work UNDER
way in the burned structure will be taken
UP at the other mills
The cause Of the fire is battling mys-
terry. Intense heat and largo quantities
of glue are used in making the piano
backs and It ir probable that some de-
feet in the heating apparatus is res
ponsible for the destruction. Owing to
the particularly dry nature Of the ma
terials used in the factory the fire burn
ed fiercely and no amount Of fire appara-
tus would have been equal to the task
