TO TUNNEL ENGLISH CHANNEL
Scheme Is Being Revived in Spite Of
Refusal to Pass Last
Bill.

The scheme for a tunnel between
England and France is being revived
in spite of the emphatic refusal of
the last bill which was presented in
1907. But great changes have been
brought about since then in relation
to the military opposition to the
scheme, for the coming of the aero
plane and it's rapid Development as
an implement of war have to some
extent removed the idea of danger
from invasion by tunnel
If IL aeroplanes can cross the
channel together, as they did a few
weeks ago, there is little reason why
an army of them may not do so in
the near future if they wished. A tun-
mel also might under certain circum-
stances be a help in time of war
rather than a danger, as much of our
food supply could be brought
through it.
The chief advantage, however, Of
the tunnel would be an increase of
trade and tourist traffic between Eng
land and France as well as countries
beyond France. At present the Dor
ings at each side are well over a
mile and It is estimated that the
whole work could be completed with
in five years, as there is no hard rock
to be pierced. The adoption of cleo
tricity instead of steam would also
remove one of the original draw
backs

GREATEST CROPS IN
THE NATIONS HISTORY.
Corn and Oats Run Into Billions Of
Bushels. Wheat Nearly So.

Never before have the great cereal
crops of the United States been so boun-
tiful as those of this year The Octo
Der crop report of the department of
agriculture shows spring wheat. oats.
barley. rye and hay all have exceeded
the best record productions. while the
crops Of corn and potatoes from pres
ent indications also will be the greatest
ever yet harvested.
The indicated harvest yield of corn
is 27.9 bushels an acre, with total of
3.016O00.000 bushels; spring wheat 172
391 900 bushels; all wheat. 100 an acre.
with total of 720.33333. 900 bushels:
oats. 37.4 bushels an acre, with a total
Of 1,417,170.0O0; barley. 29.7 AN acre
and total of 224.619000 bushels: buck
wheat, 21.4 an acre. producing 1S.000.-
600 bushels: potatoes. 1888 bushels an
acre, producing 401 100000 bushels; to-
bacco, S16 pounds an acre, producing
074000,000 pounds; fax, 90 bushels an
acre, producing 100000 bushels; rice,
334 bushels All acre, with a total OF
241 100000 bushels.
Speaking of this great showing made
by the country's farmers Secretary
Wilson said: THE crops are the heav-
lest on record. The season has been
favora BILE, bnt some credit is due to the
wide efforts made in late years by the
federal government and the state to
help farmers throughout the country
to get better returns from the average
acre
1.-The world has been searched for
better plants by the department of ag
riculture, and its scientists have been
creating new plants by hybridization
for the several localities.
at looks as If we won't have to i'm
port any potatoes next year." said the
secretary in commenting on the record
potato crop. Indications are that the
farmers will have 10S.0000O0 bushels
more potatoes this year than last. when
by reason of the short crop, large guam
titles were imported from Europe.

"BOMBSHELL" HORSE DEAD.
He Saved Lives of King Alfonso ant
President loubet.

When King Alfonso and the then
President Loubet of France had a mar
row escape from death at the time Of
the bomb outrage in May, 1905, the au-
thors of which were never discovered,
their lives were probably saved by the
fact that the horse of captain of the
mounted escort plunged over the shell,
which burst underneath the animal.
The veterinary surgeons despaired
of saving the animal's life. although
King Alfonso urged them to make
every effort and also asked the cap
tain, whose name is Schneider, to take
good care of the animal The captain
kept his word and doctored the animal
so that he came around all right. The
horse dropped dead during a parade
recently. and the veterinaries say his
death was caused by a portion of the
shell which entered his body in 1905

CONTROL OF THE
next SENATE
Democrats Declare They Have
a Fighting Chance.
THEY NEED ONLY SIX SEATS.
While They Have Eleven Chances.
Profess Great Confidence In Colorado,
Massachusetts,, New Jersey and Me-
brsska-Where G. o. p. May Lose.

The Democrats declare they have a
| fighting chance this year OF overturn-
ing the Republican control of the Unit
ed States senate.
The senate stands today fifty-one Re
publican. forty-three Democratic, with
one vacancy each in Colorado and Hi
nois. The full membership of the SEN
ate is ninety-six. which would make
forty-nine votes majority of the to-
tai membership. The Republicans at
present hold two seats more than the
requisite majority, but the Republican
control is more or less nominal, owing
to the presence of an even dozen pro-
gressive Republicans. who do not work
in harmony on all questions with the
regulars. The Democrats need six
more votes to put them in control
Where can we get those six yotes?"
IS the question Democratic managers
are asking themselves. The terms of
eighteen Republican and thirteen Dem
ocratic senators expire on March 3
next The Republicans. having carried
Maine, are assured of a member of
their own party to succeed Senator
Obadiah Gardner, who was appointed
by the Democratic governor to succeed
to the seat of the late Senator Fry.
That gain in the total membership for
the Republicans. however. will be off
set by the retirement OF Senator San
ders. who. like his Maine colleague,
was appointed by the Republican gov
ernor of Tennessee to succeed a de
ceased Democrat.
Democrats Have Eleven Chances.
Senators of both parties agree that
there are at least eleven chances out OF
which the Democrats may draw prizes,
but no Republican will admit the like
lihood of 80 per cent OF prizes going to
the Democrats. These opportunities |
for weakening Republican strength |
are found in Idaho. New Jersey, Mas |
Kansas. Montana, Colorado, |
Delaware. Oregon and Wyoming. |
Democrats assert New Hampshire is |
very likely to send u Democratic sena
tor. This is booted at by the Repub-
licans. Colorado is to elect not only
senator to succeed Mr.. Guggenheim. |
but one TO fill the long standing vacan-
cy caused by the death of Senator
Hughes. In Illinois two are to he chos-
en-, the one to succeed Mr.. CuIlom and
the other to fill the LOrimer vacancy /
Oregon is placed by Democrats in the
doubtful column because Senator
Bourne. defeated through his own pri-
mary law. has come out by petition as
IN independent candidate. or Color
ado, Massachusetts. New Jersey and
Nebraska the Democrats profess great
confidence.
Here are the states where if any
where inroads may be made into the
Republican strength in the senate: Col

been told by old time whalers who
were sometimes driven into Bankland
by ice foes.
The narrators were laughed at and
called prevaricators when they de-
scribed Eskimos with red hair and
white skins. In the early nneties Cap.

over GREENLAND
Or. De QuerVain Tells Of Reach
Ing Highest Point.
FOUND NEW SWITZERLAND.
Declares That Inland Ice 10 Not So
Regular az Has Been Supposed.
Dogs Better Than Ponies For tho
Work-No Flora Seen.

The Copenhagen newspaper Riget
prints the first detailed story OF the
expedition of DIR. Alfred de Quervain,
which crossed the Icy waste of Green
land some time ago.
The expedition consisted. In addition
to DR.. Quervain, of six Swiss sayants.
1t started with twenty-nine dogs. three
sleds and ten Eskimo bearers. The
first difficulty was the reluctance Of
the bearers to persevere in the ven
ture They promised to accompany
the party for five days, but one by one
they deserted. One only stuck through
the whole journey.
The ascent toward the interior pla-
teau was reached in ten days. and on
June 20 the expedition began the real
journey of crossing the ice wastes. At
first they travelled only sixteen miles
a day with a view to sparing the dogs.
There were tremendous ice crevasses
all around. They were In the most
dangerous part when suddenly, while
on the thin ice of an inland lake, the
whole expedition was immersed. On
emerging they found that their cloth
ing had been frozen stiff. but fortu-
nately only some of their provisions
had been lost.
Gradually the dog marches were ex-
tended to twenty-eight miles a day.
They were frequently almost over
whelmed by fierce billiards. The high
est point. $3.50 feet above the level of
the sea, was reached on July ~. This
was In longitude Al degrees AZ min
utes west. latitude 81 degrees % min
utes north.
Touched Other Tracks.
Meanwhile the expedition had touch
ed Pearys and Nordenskjold's tracks.
1t was ascertained that Nordenskjold's
Laplanders had not gone SO far as had
been stated Their high records did
not tally with the facts.
To the northward of Sermilik ford
a great mountainous region was To-
Gated and christened Switzerland. The
highest peak seen. $500 feet above sea
level. was named Mount Forel 1t is
the second highest peak in Greenland.
At this time new danger threatened
the expedition The food cache on the |
east coast could not be located owing |
to an error of the map. but fortunate
ly Angmagsalik was not so far away.
DR.. Quervain says the inland ice is /
not so regular in its formation as has |
been assumed. The lowest |
temperature encountered was % de- |
grees below Flora was absent. but
birds were located as far as the forty
first degree of west longitude. The
dogs behaved excellently and 1t was
with sorrow that they were slaughter
eded. But this had TO be done. as they
would not be allowed to enter Ang-
Dr. Quervain is convinced
that the dogs are better for this sort
of work than the ponies which Cap
tain Koch proposes to use in his expe-
dition.
