Gloom Over London.
The news Of the disaster cast a
gloom over London; which has been
uneQualled since the death of King
Edward.
The Terra Nova sailed on June 1,
1910, for New Zealand and the south
pole. 1t was Joined by Captain Robert
F. Scott few days later at Cardiff.
The expedition consisted of twenty
two officers and scientists in addition
to crew of tWenty-three picked men
from the British royal navy.
The date of Captain SCOTS attain
ment Of the south pole, Jan. IS, 1912,
shows that he reached the goal of his
expedition almost exactly one month
after Captain Roald Amundsen, the
Norwegian explorer. Captain Amund-

News Of Success After Death.
The report of Captain Scott was
destined not to be received by the
waiting world until after his death.
No details had come to hand this
morning as to how the records of Cap
tain Scott were found, but that he
arrived at the pole on that date men
toned was definitely known
The expedition under Captain Scott
was the best equipped that ever had
'een gathered together.
Amundsen 10 Shocked.
Madison, Wis.-"Horrible, horrible!
can hardly believe it," said Captain
Roald Amundsen when he received
from the Associated Press news of
the disaster to Captain Scott and his
party.
Captain Amundsen reached here
from La Crosse. The captain said he
was too dazed to speak but finally said:
1T is hard to believe this. There
must be some horrible mistake. It
seems incredible that such large
party should perish in this way. They
must have been near to their base Of
supplies and it is also hard to un.
derstand how the weather could have
been SO severe as to cause the death
Of all Of them" .......
Correct, correct" was Amundsen's
comment, when he was told of SCOTS
discovery of the Norwegian flag left
by Amundsen. He gave full credit to
the report that Scott had found the
pole. He said he was not personally
acquainted with Scott-had never
seen him, but referred to him as q

STRIKES a HlTCH

Mexico City, May 22,--The discus
sion of the remaining article of the
Hill authorizing the issue by the Mex
lean government of loan of 100000,
| 600 at six per cent has developed a
| hitch in the chamber of deputies
hich may delay the completion of the
transaction. The charge was reiterat-
ed by many deputies at last night S
session that the best Offer for the loan
Lad not been accepted by the Mexi-
can government.
The assertion was made that the
minister of war. General Manuel Mon
dragon, had negotiated a better offer.
A resolution was then passed by the
deputies to call him to the chamber
and ask him for a declaration on the
subject.
At 10 o'clock last night The deputies
declared that chamber in permanent
session until the matter had been set
tied.
Provisional President Huerta had u
the meantime sanctioned the accept
ance of the offer by French financiers,
which had Leen agreed to yesterday
Ly the members of the cabinet and al
SO in principle by the deputies.
General Mondragon, the war min
lister, in reply to an Interpolation in
the chamber of deputies, refuted the
charges brought by some of them
that the minister Of finance had not
availed himself of the best offer for
the S100,000000.
The session was adjourned today
without final action being taken on
the loan bill.

There was no secret agreement,
