mony at North Pole.

Battle Harbor, Labrador, via wire
less to Cape Ray, N. F., Sept. 16.-
Commander Robert E. Peary, who is
still at Battle Harbor ON board the
steamer Roosevelt, conversed further
with a correspondent regarding his
journey to the North pole. He spoke
particularly of the flags he raised at
the pole and the records he left there.
Commander Peary said that when
he reached the pole the first flag to
be thrown to the breeze was silken
American emblem presented to him
by his wife fifteen years ago. He had
carried this flag on every one of his
expeditions, leaving piece of 1t at
the highest point he attained. The
last remnants were raised and left
at the pole. The explorer then raised
the navy ensign, the flag of the Navy
league. then the flag of the Delta
Kappa Epsilon fraternity and finally
flag of peace. Tent poles and snow
lances were used as fiagstaffs and
when all had been raised the COM
mander took several photographs of
the group.
Records Buried In the Ice.
After this ceremony Peary enclosed
records Of his trip and other docu-
ments and personal papers in box
and buried it in the ice. The docu-
ments were placed in watertight COW
erings and the box itself was water
tight, so 1t would float If the shifting
or melting ice brought it to water.
Referring to the weather condi-
tions at the apex of the world Com
mander Peary said he found nothing
like the revolving wind referred to by
Antarctic explorers. The weather con-
ditions varied from time to time. al
though there was probably consider
able uniformity.
Peary did not witness the beginning
or the end of the solar eclipse; the
part he did see was obscured by

DETRIMENT TO THE SERVICE
Army Officer criticises RooseveIt's
Riding Test.

Washington, Sept 16-The Roose-
welt riding test for the officers of the
army Is a detriment to the service
rather than an aid in increasing it's
efficiency. This, in substance. is the
severe criticism of the tests made by
General Albert l.. Myer, commanding
the department of Texas, in his annual
report.
There are many efficient asd val
liable field officers" he said, "particu-
larly in the staff and supply depart
ments, who would never In any cir
cumstances be required to make any
such rides"

MORE TROUBLE
AT CAR PLANT
Strike Of Foreigners Re-
snmed at McKeeS Rocks.
THREE THOUSAND ARE OUT

Declare Many Men Imported During
Recent Dispute Have Been Retained
as Bosses and the Company Is
Asked to Discharge Them--Much
Excitement Follows Walkout, but
No Demonstration Is Made.
Pittsburg, Sept. 16.-A new strike
has been inaugurated at the Pressed
Steel Car company works at McKees
Rocks by 5000 foreigners, who re-
fused to work unless the bosses and
sub-bosses of the plant were dis
charged. The American workers at
the plant are said not to be in sym
yathy with the movement.
Chairman c. A. Wise of the strikers
executive committee expressed the
belief that he would soon have the
situation well in hand. He is now at
work among the foreigners and ex-
poets an early adjustment of the trou-
BILE.
At the offices of the company it was
stated that no grievances had been
presented and nothing official was
known of the new movement.
The strike caused much excitement
in and about Schoenville. but there
was no demonstration, aside from the
foreigners assembling about the gate.
Most of the American workmen
went to work as usual and no effort
was made TO Interfere with them.
About forty deputy sheriffs are still
on duty at the works.
Later several hundred Americans
quit. The absence of the foreigners,
they said, necessitated their coming
out. The main grievance, 1t is said,
is the employment of large number
of men imported during the late strike
in the capacity of bosses and sub
bosses. The men say that one of the
agreements by which the last trouble
was settled was that all of the i'm
ported men should be discharged.

oxen, 335 hares and seven bears. We
reached the end of the land and the
beginning of the ice on March IS,

station and / picked out the two best
men and twenty-six of the best dogs
for the dash across the ice.

460 miles from the pole. We started
our advance three days later, on
March 81 During the first days we
made long marches. / lived as the
Eskimos did and managed to get some
comfort by sleeping in snow houses
which we dug out, eating tallow and
drinking tea. March 80 an observa-

S447. We had covered therefore not
more than 130 miles In nine days.
II recorded daily our position and
the incidents of the march. AT noon
of April 81, 1908, my observations
showed that we were at the pole The
temperature was SO degrees below
zero. The barometer stood at 1888
degrees There was no land in sight,
nothing but a depressing waste of ice
and snow, which appeared purple in
the light"

CIRCULATION
CONCERNING VALUES.

When Governor Woodruff called at- tention to the fact that the oyster lands of Connecticut were a source from which more revenue should be received. he called attention to some thing of which the people were ignor- ant and with which the legislature seems little inclined to meddle.
 The valuation of these lands, which were apparently bought cheap, Is now an issue, and while Connecticut has four and a half times as much acre. age of oyster lands as Rhode Island, she receives but SCOTS revenue to Rhode Islands $1o1,1
 The fact is pointed out that there is one acre of oyster ground that is assessed for $500 or $500 that is mort gagged for $9, ,000." The board of equal ization ought not to be puzzled to tell what to do in such a clear case as this.
 Governor Woodruff did the state a real service when he called attention to this tax lodging and said:
 This matter of oyster taxation get four and a half times as much as the Income of Rhode Island from this source we would be receiving S45O,O a year.
 It is not 6 matter of getting a half million of revenue year, but to get a just income upon the value of the property. The total revenue now is only equal to a mortgage upon land assessed at one-eighteenth part of its mortgaged value. when it should be 75 per cent. upon its market value To continue this would be shameful.
