Did Scott Reach Pole?

The question naturally arises in ones
mind, did Captain Scott reach the pole
before December ID? II SO. the honor
lies with the British flag, but the same
endurance. same skill in the same need
OF cDdeavor must be granted To Amund
sen as the Norwegian people would
grant to Scott IL the position was re-
versed.
1T would be quite possibl& that the
two expeditions having reached Beard
more glacier would be in touch with
each other. or would come across depots
which would indicate the advance or re-
turn of either party, and If Captain
Scott had left a party at the foot OF the
glacier they would not be acquainted
with Amundsens movements, as Amund-
sen would be, had he left party or a
depot in the same position.
"There may have been more dra
matte situation still. Two parties cross
ing the glacier and converglng toward
the coveted spot from different direc-
tons may have met at the pole itself,
Amundsens equipment, though not so
large as Scotts, has peculiar advaD-
tages when YOU consider the nationality
OF the expedition.

The shipment detained by Colonel
StecVer is one Of three which have been
made in two days. and which have oc-
casloncd the greatest concern in Texas
On Tuesday a shipment Of 900 rifles
and $4,000 rounds of soft -nosed bullets
was made. This was manifested and
passed by The customs officers, acting.
il is said, under instructions from Wash
iuetou. Before the shipment was all
lowed to pass Colonel Steover was in
formed Of the fact by Major Peter Muir
ray, commanding The troops at the
Santa Fe bridge. II IS understood that
Colonel Steever admitted lack of au-
thority, and as the shipment had been
pa sscd by the customs officials. it was
allowed 10 proceed.
Tho arms and ammunition were dis
tributed Yesterday morning among the
men of the Nasquista army at Juarez.
Yest ter1ay shipment Of ten old model
Springfield rifles and 10000 rounds OF
ammunition was made. This likewise
was detained by the United States mill

The question of the transmission of
arms and ammunition has been on the
tapis for more than n year. II having
arisen during the Madcro revolution IL
ia understood that at that time the
customs officials here were advised TO
allow all commodity shipments whether

This course was pursued and IL oc-
casioncd considerable dissatisfaction
among the people Of Texas. especially
the residents Of III Paso.
Now. that Juarez is occupied by the
Nasquistas, in command OF General An
tonic Roias. the question again has
arisen and there is much comment con-
cerning tho regulations governing trans

INTENSE INTEREST
IN GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON, March while intense In
terest has been aroused in the results
attained by the south polar expeditions
under command Of Capt. Roald Amund :
Robert T.. Scott OF the British royal navy,
respectively. which are returning from
the Antarctic regions, dispatches reach
ing here on the subject are conflicting.
Captain Amundsen has arrived AT Ho-
bart, Tasmania, on the steamer Fran,
and according to the first word from that
port he declared that Captain Scott had
reached the pole, Up TO a late hour to-
night, however. no word TO that effect
has come to Mrs. Scott, wife OF the Brit
ish explorer. who still doubted the
achievement and reiterated her hope that
the news was true.
Nor did Lieutenant Evans. the London
secretary of the Scott expedition, receive
any direct word Of Captain SCOTT re-
ported success and he assumed that he
would be among the first notified, prob
ably by a message from Captain Scott
himself through the agency OF Captain
Amundsen if it had happened that the
two explorers crossed tracks after their
dash 10 the pole.
With reference TO the results of the
Amundsen expedition, dispatches reach
ing London from various points gave
early reports that the Norwegian eXplor-
cr had not been successful In his quest
Later however, a Copenhagen dispatch
said that the Social Demokraten had pub
llshed news from Christiania that a tcle-
gram from a member Of the FRAN eMpe,
dillon declared that Amundsen had
reached the south pole.
Other reports seemed 10 confirm thus.
Reports of Arnundsen's success appear
al the same time to have disposed OF inc
rumor that Captain Scott had reached
the pole.
clned TO credit this latter report un-
confirmed.
