DR.. Cook went with an expedition to
the north which was equipped by John
Il. Bradley. Mr.. Bradley is an anna
tcur explorer ana has spent large sums
of money to crafty his taste for adj
venture in the northern seas. His
schooner arrived ut Etah in Septem-
Der. 1907. and it was then that DR..
Cook proposed Il trip to the pole. Mr..
Bradley returned to New York in De-
tober of that year and told of the de-
parture of the physician. whom he had
left with supplies Of food sufficient to
last him and his party for more than
Il year Tho physician started from
Etah with Il large party Of Eskimos,
and it is believed that later his retinue
was reduced to two or three youths.
They had twenty dogs and several
sledges and Il large quantity of sup

have been made in February of 1908
Since then. as far as is known. nothing
has been heard of DR.. Cook direct. He
intended to cross F,llesmere Land in a

that he may have made his way to

stubbornly fought Of all, the opposi-
ton in the senate to this part Of the
administration program being especial
ly strong The anti free hides men in
cluded the senators from number Of
the cattle growing states of the west
like Wyoming. Idaho, Montana, Utah
and the DakOtas. To overcome the op-
position of this element proved diff
cult task, and it was in the effort to do
this that the proposal was made to off
set the placing of hides on the free list
by making proportionate reductions in
the duties on leather manufactures,
particularly boots and shoes and har
ness.
Senator Aldrich informed senators
from northwestern states that he
would not consent to the abolition OF
the duty on hides unless there was a
material cut In the rates on boots and
shoes and other leather goods. In no
other way, he said, could he get the
votes necessary for the adoption of the
report in the senate if it carried free
hides. Senators from cattle raising
states insisted that the only way con-
sumers can get any benefits from the
removal of protection on hides would
be by corresponding reductions in the
duties on boots and shoes and harness.
The discussion over the hides sched-
ule has aroused some warm blood, and
there have been many varying state
mentS about the effect of duty on
hides. Advocates of making them free
claimed that the beef packers are en-
gazing largely in the tanning bust
ness and that Il duty on hides would
virtually give them monopoly on the
article and result in large increases in
prices of manufactured leather prod
ucts. Senator Francis +. Warren of
Wyoming, who has been Il leader
among the anti free raw material SEN
ators, maintained that the facts did
not bear out such an assumption. He
cited figures purporting to show that
the three largest packers in the Unit
ed States tan annually 1,363,OOO hides,
this number constituting only Z per
cent of the entire domestic consump-
ton. He denied that the beef packers
could control the leather market.
AS soon as the Republican conferees
reached an agreement on schedules the
completed and corrected tariff bill was
sent to the public printer to put iii
shape for the use of the conferces.
Then followed the reporting of the
bill to the senate and house of repre-
sentatives and the beginning OF the

Previous to this both houses adopted

confereeS pretty near to his point Of
view on this subject and in securing
important reductions In the duties
placed on some other articles enter
ing largely into general consumption
he is credited with having carried out
considerable part Of his program.
The five items which the president
desired especially to have on the free
list were hides, oil, coal. lumber and
iron ore. He was not allowed to have
his way on all of these items, but Sc
cured the placing of some on the free
list and the reduction Of duties from
senate rates on others. The fight In
the conference room was chiefly over
hides, lumber, coal and iron ore. OIL
was admitted from the first to be
proper subject for the free list in view
of the strong sentiment in both houses
in favor Of such plan. The proposal
to place coal on the free list and per-
haps iron ore aroused Senator Elkins
Of West Virginia in particular, and 1t
was owing in part to his influence
that small duty was placed upon
each in the conference report. The
controversy over hides was the most

CAN DUPLICATE PAPERS
Aliens Cannot Lose Citizenship by Loss
of Certificates, Says U. s.
Official.

Aliens in the northwest, Of whom
there are a large number. who have
lost their certificates Of entry issued at
the American ports are in no danger
of deportation. According to Richard
X. Cambell. chief of the bureau of nat
uralization of the department of COM
merce and labor, the certificates can
be duplicated
In statement issued to officials, Mr.
Campbell says this certificate is not es-
sential to the process of naturaliza-
ton. If the aliens were properly pass
ed at the port of entry, and are legally
admitted to the country, the records OF
the immigration department will show
that fact, he says.
When application for citizenship is
made their records can be secured from
the government files, and proper proof
of entry obtained. Mr.. Campbell says
he has frequently watched the incom-
ing Of immigrants at the ports of en-
try and seen the floor strewn with the
slips of paper which constituted their
certificates of examination and pas
sage. These papers have never been
regarded as essential and their loss is
not material to the aliens.

According to reports from Crook :

The Times of CrocEston says:
"The information from Fargo has
caused great stir In Crookston for
the reason that a man Of the same
name, Jos. Slyl5oort, now accused Of
murder, resided for several years in
CrooGuston and prior to that resided

FIANcEEs or TEACHERS IN THE
PHILIPPINES WILL BE ALLOW
ED TO TAKE EXAMINATION FOR
SERVICE WORK IN ISLANDS.

The United States civil service COM
mission announces an examination on
December 1880 at the federal build
ing In Fargo to I'LL the vacancies as
they may occur In the positions of
clerk and teacher in the Philippine
service.
The entrance salary Of the majority
OF male appointees will be $1,000 per
annum, although some appointments
may be made at salaries of $1,000 or
SLIGO, based upon the experience and
the relative standing in the examina-
ton, and they will be eligible for pro-
motion up to $4,000 per annum for
teachers. Eligibility In the assistant
examination is required for promotion
to the position OF division superintend-
ent, which carry salaries ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000.
The work of American men teachers
Is largely of a supervisory character,
and the higher positions are filed as
vacancies occur by the promotion OF
those who have demonstrated their
efficiency and ability in the service.
Heretofore the majority Of those
qualifying in the assistant examina-
ton who are willing to accep. appoint
ment as teacher have been selected
Others will be required in the various
clerical and administrative offices in
the islands.
Men only will be admitted to the ex-
animation for assistant.
Women will not be admitted to the
teacher examination unless they are
the wives, immediate relatives, or A.
ancees OF men examined for teacher or
assistant or appointed to or already
employed in the Philippine service as
teacher. Each woman applicant should
state definitely In her application the
name, address, and relationship of such
person. Only small proportion of ap-
pointments can be made from the fe-
male teacher register, and such APP
pointees usually receive entrance sal
aries of $1,000 or 5000.
1t is desired to secure as many eligi-
bles as possible who are college gradu-
ates, and especially graduates of poly
technic schools and of agricultural
schools and also to secure eligibles who
are graduates of normal schools
The Philippine school year begins in
the early part of June and ends with
the month Of March. So far as possible
all appointments as teachers are made
with view to their arrival at Manila
before the beginning of the school year,
which requires that the appointees sail
in April or the first week in May. In
this way the contract period of two
years expires with the school year.
Later sailings are sometimes per-
mitted, but few appointments are made
during the remainder OF the year
