come down the Yukon river in a
canoe.
The head of the Bell river. emty-

frozen so they had to walk back
to Fort Macpherson. For twenty

the men experienced hardships
worse than those of Peary.
For many days there was only n
handful of food for each man daily.

aver they had practical assurances
from the state department that this
step would be. taken and it is ad-
mitted that severe defeat for the
Estrada army in the field would not
have been a'more serious blow than
the failure of the American govern

Further representations will prob
ably be made to the state depart
ment at Washington looking to that
end. In the meantime, the rebels
declare they will continue armed
warfare against Madriz, whom they
designate as puppet in the hands
of Zelaya. They declare they will

seize the government that the
Washington authorities will be

IRE TREASURES Sur S
British Syndicate After
Relics From Ancient
Palaces.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. l.
Under the supervision of two Turk.
ish members of parliament an En-.
glish Syndicate is excavating at the
Pool of Sloan, near here. 1t con.
sists of Captain Montagu B. Par.
kerr, Gernadier Guards, brother and
heir presumptive of Lord Morley;
Clarence Wilson, Mr.. Duff, rela-
tive of the Duke of Fife; Cyril
Ward, Messers. Walsh, Foley and
others.
Some mystery attends the aim of
the excavators. The popular belief
is that they are searching for the
crowns and treasures of David and
Solomon and other kings of Judah,
which some think are buried in this
region. But others believe that
their main object is to provide Je-
rasalem with the drinking water it
sorely needs, of which there will be
plenty and to spare should they
tap the source of the spring.
The scene of the excavation is
the spring known as st. Mary's
well, from. a legend of the four

AMALGAMATION WITH
JAPAN SOUGHT BY
KOREANS

TOXIC, Jan. IA Korean polit-
ical party is agitating strongly in
favor of amalgamation with Japan
on the ground that the present in
choate system tends to produce a
feeling of uncertainty which checks
national development and encour-
ages the insurgents. The Japanese
press points out, however, that the
Koreans would in that case be
obliged to pay the same taxes as
the japanese and to discharge all
constitutional duties, including con.
scription. The consent of the treaty
powers would also be an essential
preliminary to such step, and it
therefore considers the project
as wholly premature.

Finally they were compelled to
take their moccasins and muck

Fort Macpherson and came
through without further difficulty.
