to Antarctic Expedition.

70 AuC0TCClC EXpe0lLlOn.
LONDON. February Fin an inter-
view with the Associated Press concern
ing the proposed American antarctic ex-
petition. Capt. Scott says:
The American project was no surprise
to me, as l had been corresponding with
Commander Peary for some time No
step was taken by him until he con-
suited me. and had received the assurance
that l heartily welcomed American CO.
operation.
THE rivalry between the British and
American expeditions will be entirely
friendly; but, naturally, each will be keen
that men of its own nationality shall frst
reach the pole.
1.-The Americans will have the longer
route. but possibly an easier one. There
are Indications of gradual slope from
Weddell sea to the pole. Their main
difficulty will be to find suitable winter
ing spot in Coates Land"
Funds for British Expedition.
Capt. Scott said that $50. 900 had been
collected for the British expedition, but
that another $4,000 was needed to cover
the expenses. Two months ago, he ad-
ded. he received over 1000 applications
for posts in the expedition, that similar
requests still were pouring in, although
practically all the places had been
definitely filled.
Lieut.. E. II. shackelton, the south polar
explorer, will sail for the United States
March 10, and after a lecture tour wall
make an extended hunting trip in north
ern Alaska.
He will be accompanied by five friends
But the party has no intention Of ex-
ploring the north polar regions. as has
been reported from some quarters.

all incoming coasting and bay steamers
were delayed today as the result of last
nights severe coast storm, when the wind
reached a maximum velocity Of between

from Baltimore and was not delayed.
though she experienced a rough trip
throughout the night.
No coast wrecks are reported, and the
weather having cleared to a considerable
extent today a number of stormbound
craft in Hampton roads proceeded to sea.
Continued high winds and rough seas pre-
vented others from venturing out, how
ever. Practically all points 100 miles

Several years ago DR.. Walter E. Har-
ris, correspondent of a London newspa-
per and a friend of. the Moroccan sui
tan. was captured by the bandits and
held by Raisuli for ransom of $4,000.
Harris refused to pay it. and the sultan
sent a force of troops after the bandits,
but they escaped.
Harris finally secured his freedom by
paying the ransom, after headless body
had been thrown into his tent.
American Held for Ransom.
Two years later Raisuli seized Ion Per-
dicaris, a native of New Jersey, which
act was the occasion of the dispatch of
United States squadron to the Moroc-
can coast and the alleged ultimatum
purporting to have emanated from the
State Department: 'Perdicaris alive or
Raisuli Dead which caused great en-
thusiasm at the republican national con-
vention in Chicago which nominated Mr..
Roosevelt for President.
Raisuli's next exploit was to capture
an Englishman, Kaid Sir Harry MacLean,
the adviser of the sultan. MacLean was
held for seven months. until finally re-
leased on the promise of the payment
of 100000.
Raisuli was appointed governor of the
province Of Djebala a year ago, and at
that time he promised to renounce the
ransom paid On behalf of MacLean.
