AMERICAN TRADER STANDS WELL WITH
 SIBERIAN PEOPLE
Russian Tradesmen Have Not Gained the Confidence of Suspicious.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-The Jabiqui- tous American trader appears to have discovered a part, at least, of North ern Siberia and to have made it his own. So strong a hold in fact has he secured upon the natives of that little known part of the world that while the American silver dollar is taken with avidity in trade, the Rus sian trader who offers two Russian roubles for the same amount of goods is looked upon with suspicion.
 Lieutenant Arbeniev, of the Russian navy, who was a member of the Rus sian expedition which upon it's arrica1 at St. Michael, Alaska, a few weeks ago, reported having found a large body of land forming the counterpart of Nova zemlya, and enclosing the Kara Sea, in a book on the work of the humorous about the American traders met with during the voyage.
 Wherever natives congregated, he says, there stood the ten-ta1e log cab in, whence silver dollars. American rifles and canned goods were do1ed out in return for the previous furs in which the land abounds.j The offer of two roubles instead of one silver suspicion.
 Lieutenant Arbeniev argues that it is about time the Russians took more interest in their own lands and peo- pie. He records a, visit paid to the Tainyr and Waigatch, the two steam CTS of the expedition, when off Tche- husl<1n at the end of August, 1912, by Tunguz, a chieftain styled Bob rovsky, which means beaver, who proudly displayed a medal conferred upon him by the President of the United States for succoring the sur vivors of the Jeanette Arctic exped1- ton.
 The influence of the alien traders, says the Lieutenant, does not seem to have been physically harmful to the natives but quite the contrary so far as the appearance of the younger gen eration is concerned. They have, however, been unable to alter the in describab1y filthy habits of the Si- >berian redskins.
 The discovery of the new land by Captain WiIkitzky, the commander of the expedition which arrived at St. Michael, is the result of the endeav- ors of the Russian Government to render comm mercia1Iy practicable the Northern Sea route to the Far East. The Captain is a son of General Kill kitzky, who died in February last and who as chief of the Russian Fly topographic Service signed the instruc-

tions for the survey of the Northern Siberian coast for which the present expedition was organized.
 The Tairnyr and Waigatch are ice breakers specially built to perform the northern voyage from Vladivostock to St. Petersburg, and are equipped with wireless installations. Every year since 1910 a section of the coast has been surveyed, and an attempt was made to reach European waters with out wintering. Last year the exped1- ton was unable to reach Cape Tche- 1iuskin. The leader, General Sergeieff. who has subsequently invalided, de- clined to proceed northward and turn ed back to Vladtvosrock.
 According to the opinion of hydro graphers Captain WiIkitzlky decided at any cost to come westward, even if he had to winter in the Kara Sea In these circumstances he boldly moved northward and made the important discovery of new land, which he has reported in a laconic message to the Admiralty After recounting that he put into St. Michael for coal and be- cause of slight damage received dur ing a storm, he says, we continued our survey as far as Cape NTchelius- kin, where the ice proved 1mpractf- cable We then went north. seeking a passage. We discovered land ex- tending over 200 miles as far lat itude S1 north, longitude 96 east. Be- ing unable to get through we turned back. On Bonnet Island we took the collection left by Baron Toll, and in that nedghborhood discovered a new island
 Cape Tcheliuskin, in Siberia, is the most northern point of the mainland of Asia. Bonnet Island IS the most northern member of the new Siberian group, and lies about GOO miles east from Cape sTcheliuskin. The Jean cite was lost in 1881, at a point 100 miles east of Bonnet Island after drifting in a west-north-wester1y df- rection for two years. In 1884 ob- jects believed to have been from the wreck of the Jeanette were picked up on the southwest coast of Green land. It was upon the current which conveyed these relics that Nansen re- lied in his expedition with the Tram during which-he achieved his farthest north in April, 1S95.
 The presence of land in these re- gions was not unexpected, although the expeditions of Nordenskiold, Nan- sen and Toll passed through what are now known to be comparatively mar row straits without leaving any rec ord of any such discovery.

STAMFORD BROKER
 SUED FOR DIVORCE
Wenman Charged With Intol- erabIe Cruelty Files Counter Action.

Stamford, Nov. Mrs. Louise L. Williams Wennfan has begun an ac- ton here for 8 divorce from Byrd w. Wenman, wealthy cotton broker, of New York city. Their home has been here since their marriage, seven years ago. Mrs. Wenman is a daughter of MT. and Mrs. John Townsend Will Hams, of 813 Madison avenue, New York. MT. Wenman, who long has been socially prominent, is known as a keen sportsman. He is 8 member of the New York Yacht Club, the Larchmont Yacht Club, the Riding Club and the City Midday Club.
 MT. Wenman has shocked society here by filing a counter action for divorce. His attorneys said he would mention a man of social and financial prominence in New York city. This announcement has intensely interest ed the more prominent families in Stamford and along the shore of Long Island Sound, where MT. and Mrs. Wenman have been identified with society affairs
 It was learned yesterday when an actions, that MT. Wenman has been living apart from his wife since last May and that through an arrange ment between their counsel their son, now five years old, has been spending part of his time with one parent and with the other.
 Mrs. Wenman is now with her par ents in New York city. Her mother is member of the Ladew family. Mrs. Wenman's son is with her now, aalthough he spent most of the sum mer with his father on board his yachts on the Sound.
 In asking for a divorce Mrs. Wen man, who alleges 'tintoIerable cruelty ,'' asks for the custody of her son, for liberal a1imony and for the restora- ton of her maiden name. The peti- ton, so far as made public, does not mention any specific acts of '1ntoler- able cruelty, but her many friends here believe that interesting accusa- tions will be made on the witness stand.
 The statement of MT. Wenman's at torneys that his counter action will in clude the name of a man of high so- cial standing has caused another sen sation.
 NIT. Wenman was for several years adjutant of the Seventh Regiment. His family has been prominent in New York and on Long Island for many years.

Coyotes Kill PheaSants

Pierre. S. d., Oct. 3l.-A number
of the beautiful Chinese pheasants
brought to this section of the state
have been killed by coyotes, because
they were let out into the open be-
fore their wings had grown sufi-
GENTLY to enable them to fly away
and save themselves. Their wings
had to be closely clipped for ship
ping and and exhibit at the STATE
fair and they should be kept in cap
tivlty and safety until the wings
have grown again, when they will
be quite able to care for themselves.
1t is the idea of Game Warden He
drick that the birds should be turned
loose as soon as possible, for they do
not take well to captivity.
