NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

Officials of the department of com.
merce and labor feel considerable con-
cern, it is said, because of failing to
receive the report of Agent w. l.
Lembkey, giving the number of seals
taken on the Pribiloff islands by the
North American Commercial company
which leases the sealing rights from
the government. The report should
have been received by August 10, but
nothing has been heard from Mr..
Lembkey. The fact that there were
known to be a number of Japanese
pelagic sealing expeditions in the Vi

cause for the alarm. Mr.. Lembkey took
with him two mountain howitZers and

t1on in January. 1905. Although for
merly identified with the conservative
or clerical party, Gen. Reyes adopted
some of the principles of the liberals,
which aroused the bitter enmity Of
the conservatives. His most radical
departures from the policies of his
predecessors were the separation of
church and state and the establish
ment of capital punishment for trea-
son. which previously had been lightly
dealt with.
Before becoming president Gen.
Reyes had spent many years In the
military and diplomatic branches of
his country, one of his posts having
been minister to France. He is a
man of wealth, with large estates in
the province of Cauca. Gen. Reyes
rendered distinguished service for his
government in the rebellions of 1885
and 1895.
Gen. Reyes quietly left Bogota
some time ago for Santa Marta, on the
Atlantic seaboard, where he boarded
steamer for Europe. At that time
it was reported that the general had
abandoned office, and 1t was openly
asserted that his voluntary resigna.

Abadie, and the dome Is 260 feet high.
Work was begun in 1875 and the

called plaster of paris was formerly
obtained.
Already $6000.O00 has been expend-

With PEARY ON
DASH FOR Pole
I COMPANION TELLS OF
THE FARTHEST NORTH.
Position Verified by Observations
and Flag Planted at Spot That
Was Goal for Generations.

BATTLE HARBOR (Labrador),
September 15.-(By wireless, Cape
Ray, N. F).--"We hoisted the Stars
and Stripes twice at the North Pole"
said Matthew Henson, Commander
Robert Il. Peary's colored Lieuten-
ant and the only other civilized man,
according to Peary, who ever reach
ed the Pole.
Henson then gave an account OF
one night and two days he and Com
mander Peary and four EsquimauX
camped at 30 degrees north latitude.
Henson assisted in raising the Ame-
rican flag, and he led the Esquimaux
in the cheers, an extra cheer for Ole
Glory in the Esquimaux tongue be-
ing given.
Having passed eighteen years
with Commander Peary, and con-
siderable portion of that time in the
Arctic" said Henson, Il have acquir-
ed knowledge of the dialect OF
Northern Greenland Esquimaux, who
probably are superior to any other.
AS Is commonly known to travellers
in the Far North, the Esquimaux en-
terrain strange prejudice toward
any tongue but their own, and it Is
therefore necessary for successful
dealing with them to study their I'M

distance Travelled from Cape Column
bia. Having completed the snow
houses, We had dinner, which in
cluded tea made on our alcohol
stove, and then retired to rest, thus
sleeping one night ut the North Pole.
Observations Success.
The Arctic sun was shining when
| awOke, and found the commander
already up. There was only wind
enough to blow out the small flags.
The ensigns were hoisted toward
noon from tent poles and tied with
fish lines.
1--WE had figured out the distance
pretty close and did not go beyond
the Pole. The flags were up about
midday, April 18th, and were not NOV
ed until late that evening. The
haze had cleared away early, but we
wanted some hours TO take observa-
ton. We made three close together.
when the flag was placed, Com
mander Peary exclaimed in English:
We will plant the Stars and Stripes
at the North Pole. In the native
language ! proposed three cheers,
which were given in the Esquimaux'
own tongue. Commander Pcary
shook hands all around and we had
more liberal dinner than usual,
each man eating as much as he pleas
ed.
1.-THE EsquimauX danced about ana
showed great pleasure that the Polo
at last was reached. For years the
Esquimaux had been trying to reach
that spot, but 1t was always with
them, 'Tiquelgh,' which translated
means, Get so far and no closer. They
exclaimed in n chorus, Ting Neigh
Timah Ketsher, meaning, We have
got there at last.
Conditions at Pole.
Henson, who reached the farthcst
North with Peary three years ago,
said that conditions were about the
same at the Pole as elsewhere in the
Arctic Circle. All was a solid sea
of ice, with two-foot lead of open
water two miles from the Pole. The
natives who went along on the finat
lap were Ootah, Egingwah, Ouzaue-
eah and Singloo. the two first named
being brothers. Commander Peary
took photographs of Henson and the
Esquimaux waving flags and cheer
ing.
"The report is absolutely untrue
that did not go to the Pole" said
Henson. Il went the whole distance"
Henson said that he knew that
some on board did not wish him to
go TO the Pole If they could pre-
vent It, but he knew that before he

SEATTLE. July 23.-Joseph
Mouingway, of Everett, aged 81,
was shot and killed by a blank
cartridge from the rife of a men,
Der OF the National Guard, in The
sham battle held by the Red Men
at the exposition yesterday.
The Red Men, arrayed as In
dams, were attacking stage
coach in true Buffalo Bill show
style, when the soldiers dashed in
to the rescue. In the midst of
the battle Moringway dropped
bleeding at the abdomen. A
waxed wad had penetrated his abb
dcmen and exploded. He died In
two hours.
The ammunition used in the
sham battle was regular govern
ment property, the wads being
filled with powder to cause them
to explode as soon as fired, to
prevent damage. At close range,
however, they are dangerous.
The occurrence stopped the festiv-
tiles of the Red Men and they
abandoned their night jubilee.
The state may investigate by
what authority the National Guard
took part In the affair.

BIG LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
SEVEN TENANTS IN BACON
BUILDING.

Fire In the Bacon building al
4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon costs
losses ranging from $50 to $500
to the seven tenants who occupied
the block and the roof of the
building was also damaged. The
greater part of the damage is due
to water used in extinguishing the
flames.
The fire started In the northeast
corner of the roof just over the
kitchen in the fiat occupied by J.
A. Denholm and family. Its or
igin has not been ascertained but
the flames are believed to have
started from sparks carried from
the chimney in Dixon Brothers
bakery adjoining.
The fire department responded
promptly and the flames were con-
