Should negotiations with the Mex

successful, the ships which are sup
posed to carry japanese emigrants
from here to South America, may be
utilized to bring back Portuguese i'm
migrants who will take the places
vacated by the departing ones.
The Mexican Oriental Steamship
Company is the concern which repre-
sents the Togo Kisen Kaisha in the
South America business, and supeffn-

Unless the present plan falls through,
the Portuguese immigrants will be sent

PARIS, September AFTER suffer-
ing untold hardships DR.. Frederick A.
Cook reached the North Pole on April
81, 1908, according to q signed state
ment from the intrepid explorer, pub
lished yesterday in the European edi-
tion of the New York Herald.
On February 10, 1908, DR.. Cook start
ed on the final 700-mile dash to tha
pole. He was accompanied by ten Is
kimos and took with him 1o3 dogs and
eleven sledges. The mercury showed
81 degrees below zero.
On March Is, the party reached Her
bert Island, where six Eskimos des-
erted and returned to their people.
With the four remaining Esiximos,
forty-six dogs, and supplies sufficient
to last for eighty days, DR.. Cook push
ed on. Three days later, two more Es-
kimos left him. The remaining AGO
miles was made with but two Eski-
mos and twenty-six dogs.
The monotony during the latter part
of the journey was maddening. The
influence of ths shifting desert Of frost
became almost uncomfortable. Dog after
dog was killed and eaten by the hungry
survivors.
Finally, on April 81, the party reach
ed North Latitude 80. where longitude
became mere word. The flag was,
flung to the breeGes at the North Pole.
No ground was visible, only an i'm
mensity of dazzling snow.
On the 23rd, the intrepid explorer
and his little party started on their
return journey. Cook is now en- route
to Copenhagen and is expected there
Saturday.

Drawn up in squadron front. with
red and white troop guidons and the
national and regimental colors futter-
ing in the breeze, the officers and men
of the Fifth Cavalry, q. s. A, greeted
the members of the Congressional par
ty shortly before noon yesterday, a
salute of honor being fired from the
gun at the base of the flagstaff. As
the special train entered the post limits
the Congressman and ladies crowded
to the ear windows to glimpse the
khaki clad troopers and their hand
some mounts, and ssthe party left the
train they gave expression to the salts
faction they felt to see the great gar
rison flag over the post.
The party was met by Lieut.-Col.
Hunter, senior officer of the Fifth
Cavalry in the absence of Colonel
SCHUYLER, who conducted the visitors
across the parade ground to central
position in front of his own quarters
from which a splendid view could be
obtained of the promised review. The
ladies of the garrison, headed by Mrs
Hunter and Mrs. Sturges, wife of the
regimental adjutant. formed an at.
tractive group as they waited on the
turf, and their greeting was most cor.

Ap1il 80.

Says the Birmingham Age-Herald:
'Yf Inauguration day had occurred on
April 30. Al some had wished, the
weather would still have been detest-
able"
True, the 3Oth Of April was not an ideal
day. but 1t was 20 much better than the
4th of March that no one would ever
hesitate about expressing q choice. To
fully express the improvement of April
so over March this year 1t is necessary
to look over the mortuary records Of the
four or Ave weeks following the inau-
guration. No one knows Just how many
people died In consequence OF exposure
to the snow and cold and wind on that
day in Washington. But it Is positive
that twice as many people as were here
on the 4th Of March could have gathered
in this city on the 3Oth OF April without
one-tenth Of the casualties. Whatever
April 80 may be, In all the years to
come. short of some great cosmic change
materially altering the climate OF North
America. 1t can never be as bad as the
last 4th Of March. 1t is one OF the sur
est things conceivable that the pending
joint resolution can be adopted by Con-
gress and ratified by the legislatures
with perfect assurance that tho new
Inauguration date will never be menace
TO health. however moist and disagree
able II may occasionally be.

Shifting Specialties.

New conditions make new professions
and occupations. The industrial and edu-
cational world adjusts itself speedily TO
the shifting circumstances OF developing
social life. A need arises and the men
to meet 1t are promptly evolved. An old
trade becomes obsolete through the sub
stitution Of better methods. and the men
engaged in 1t train themselves to dis
charge other duties, following, II wise, the
line Of the development. Thus cab
drivers who are clever become chauffeurs
of taxicabs. Yet the old stage driver
may not In person be the street car
motorman Of today. and the motorman OF
today may not be individually the aviator
Of tomorrow. But the supplanting OF
discarded human speciality never means a
nat loss to the working world. There is
always something for every hand to do
that Is trained to particular form Of
effort.

Tucker would not be, AZ he is. the worthy
son OF John Randolph Tucker II he did
not stand for something openly and
boldly.
Still. let not virginians OF pride be cast
down by the petty features OF their cam
paisn. Unfortunately. such things In
here in our politics. Nearly all cam
paigns Of consequence everywhere reflect
them. and some campaigns have been de-
cided by them. Mr.. Blaine was defeated
for the presidency by the blunder Of
supporter who in an address to the can
didate Travelled entirely out Of the track
OF q political discourse. and said stupid
and most offensive thing. Four years
later the British minister at this capital
was trapped into writing foolish letter.
and lost his place as the result. The re-
publicans used the letter. and Mr.. Cleve-
land in frantic effort to break the force
Of 1t. bundled the Enslishman out OF the
country. The conduct Of both parties
was unworthy OF the occasion.
As we all know. the chairmen Of the
campaign committees Of the two great
parties spend the last fortnight Of every
presidential canvass In mortal dread OF
roorbacks. BY that time the real issues
are all understood by the voters, and the
two candidates are of record by letters
or speeches with regard to them. But
suppose = yarn Is sprung bearing upon
some personal matter wholly aside from
the political issues involved. What eject
will that have on the fortunes OF the can
didate thus attacked? Will there be time
enough before election to expose 1t. and
confound its authors and disseminators?
When party blood Is up mere cackle at
times carries far. Men. ordinarily fair
and rational, are liable to be influenced by
small and unworthy things. In their heat
they will employ means from which In
cooler moments and about everyday
transactions they would turn in disgust.
Politics, indeed. In some things. Is what
