TRYING TO TELL MRS. SCOTT.
Widow Probably Knows by Now
Fate of South Polar Explorer.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 1.-THE
widow of Capt. Scott probably knows to-
day that her husband was overwhelmed ID
by blizzard while making his way back
from the south pole, but how she re-
ceived the news is blanketed in the
silences of the Pacific ocean.
Mrs. Scott sailed from here February
on the liner Aorangi, bound for Wei
1ington, n. Il. 1t was impossible to reach
her by wireless in daylight hours yester-
day, but the sending station here believed
last night that the Aorangi was in range.
and repeatedly sent messages.
. These should have. been received, but
the Aorangi's feeble+sOunding apparatus,
which has a. radius of only about 800
niles permitted of no acknowledgment
that could be caught, either here or at
Honolulu. Today the AOrangi will pass
out of range entirely. and inasmuch as
there is neither cable nor wireless at
Papeete, Tahiti or Raratonga. her next
ports of call, no further effort will be
made to communicate with her.
The liner Tahiti, bound for San Fran
cisco and due to pass the Aorang next
Sunday. has a powerful sending equip
ment. and may pick up message and
relay either to Honolulu or the American
mainland. Otherwise the Aorangi will
not again be in touch with the world until
she reaches Wellington. February q.

M'vEAGH MUST EXPLAIN
Senate Passes Poindexter
Resolution Regarding "TreaS-
ury Order No. s."

The Pondexter resolution, calling upon
Secretary MacVeagh for a full statement
of his reasons for issuing Treasury Or
der No. g." for the deposit of customs
receipts in national banks was passed
by the Senate today after a short debate.
Senator Poindexter insisted that Secre-
tary MacEeagh had acted without au-
thority of law and Senators Lodge. Srnoot
and Root declared the law gave the Sec
retary full authority for his action.
The order was issued January .. and
has been attacked on the ground that it
would allow an undue concentration of
government funds in New York banks.
Senator PoindeXter said the order had
created great surprise" throughout the
country, the belief being held that it
would bring approximately S20oO00. 600
of Treasury receipts into the national
banks. where it might be concentrated in
New York.
Il do not believe there is any au-
thority of law for this order" said
Senator Poindexter The law appar-
emily specifies clearly that these de-
posts shall go into the subtreasuries
or into designated repositories. If the
law does not authorize this order. it
is q matter Of serious import. which
requires action of a pronounced char
acter by Congress"
The PoindeXter sM, resoiutiSn ion. requires
nish M his authority for acting. but
to explain also the effects OF the
change, what proportion of daily re-
ceipts have been deposited i'm New
York banks what interest has been
secured by the government and all
other features in connection with the
operation OF the new order.

All England Thrilled
With Grief and Pride
at Capt. Scott's Epic

LONDON, February 11.-Grief and pride
in the simple narrative of high courage,
endurance and sacrifice given in Capt.

world are close competitors for dominance
in the feelings of the British public to-

1T is q white and not a black mourn

The closing words of Capt. Scott's epic
were:
Had We lived I should have had a tale
TO tell of the hardihood. the endurance
and the courage of my companions which
would have stirred the heart of every
E;nglishman. These rough notes and our
dead bodies must tell the tale. But sure
ly, surely, a great and a rich country
like ours will see that those who are de-
pendent upon us are properly provided

These words have had an electric ef-
feet. Steps are on foot already to re-
spond to his appeal to the nation by
assuring a comfortable future for
those dependent on the men who, while
awaiting certain death, could still write
that they did not regret their journey.
Capt. Scotts interest in the welfare of
his men was emphasized by practically
the last business he transacted before
he left to join the expedition in New
Zealand. This was the sale of his
story.
He declined to make any private
profit from the action. and decided that
the total receipts should go to increase
the financial reward Of the men who
had undertaken to share with him the
dangers of the antarctic region.
Men Were to Get Money.
1t was therefore arranged that all sums
realized from the story of the adventure
should be distributed among the members
of the crew as a surprise bonus on their
return to England. Mrs. Scott is assured
Of a good pension from the British gov
ernment.
