NIT. MCKINLEY SCALED AT LAST.
ArchdeacOn Stuck Puts Church EN-
blem on Summit of Highest Peak.

A. dispatch from Fairbanks,
2 laska, June goth, says:
The ascent of the highest peak of
Mount Mckinley was accomplished
Tor the first time, June z, when the
Iarty led by Archdeacon Hudson
stuck, Episcopal missionary for
Alaska, accompanied by Robt. G..
Tatum, H. p. Karstens and Walter
Harper, reached the top of the south
peak of the mountains, the highest
on the Continent.
The news was received to-day by a
messenger sent by DR.. Stuck, who Is
resting at the base camp. DR.. Stuck
and his assistants erected a six-foot
cross on the summit of the great
mountain. observations made with
the mercurfal barometer indicated It's
height Is 20,500 feet. Archdeacon
stuck confirmed the ascent for the
north peak by Thomas Lloyd and
three companions in 1910, being able
With field glasses to see the flag staff
erected by the Lloyd party.
The message sent by Archdeacon
Stuck from Fairbanks said:
Expedition successful. Accom-
plished first complete ascent on
Mount Mckinley June 7th. H. P.
Karstens, r. G. Tatum, Walter Har-
per and l reached top of South
(the highest Of aH) peak on clear
day, when 1t was possible to read all
the angles of the mountains and
other prominent points and make
certain that the peak we had con-
quered was the highest Of all.
1--WE successfully carried a mercu-
rial barometer to the top and made
complete readings and observations.
With field glasses we clearly saw the
flag pole erected in 1910 by the
Thomas Lloyd party on the North
peak. After completing observations
on the summit we hoisted the Ameri-
can flag on the upper basin, erected
a siX-foot cross and said 'Te Deum'
on the highest point of North Amer
lea.
"The Northwest ridge is the only
possible approach to the summit
Due to the violent earthquakes of
last July, the higher ridges were ter
ribly shattered and this added large
ly to the danger, difficulty and labor
Of the ascent. We spent three weeks
in continuous bad weather, hewing
passage three miles long through this
side. This was the chief cause of de-
lay. The chief credit for our success
is due to Karsten's good judgment,
resourcefulness and caution. We did
not have a single mishap."

FEDERAL AID is WITHDRA WN.
Action PrecIudes Annual Encamp-
ment of State National Gnavd.

Columbia, Junl 24.-The United
States government, taking umbrage
at the letters Of Governor Blease,
withdrew all Federal aid to South
Carolina's militia, thereby causing
abandonment of plans TO encamp the
three militia regiments this summer.
Notification of the withdrawal Of
aid came to Adjt. Gen. Moore In a
telegram from Gen. Mills and
through a letter from Secretary of
War Garrison to Governor Blease.
After careful consideration of
your communication / am forced to
the conclusion that you leave the
war department no other course to
pursue than to withdraw all Federal
assistance to the organized militia of
South Carolina, and 1t is with great
regret that | have to inform you that
such action will be taken immedi-
ately," said Secretary Garrison in a
letter to Governor Blease to-day.
This announcement Is very pleas
ant to me. l fought this Dick law
when | was in the Senate, and have
seen the wisdom of my opposition
since, and nothing gives me more
pleasure than to see South Carolina
relieved from it's iniquitous provis-
ions,' said Governor Blease.
South Carolina has been getting
annually about $4,000 from the
Federal go ernment for her militia
and it was this fund which was
counted on to defray the expenses
of encampments. No State funds be-
ing on hand, the encampment will
have to be abandoned.
