son, the explorer, with two companions
set out from Martin point east of the
mouth of the Barter river, March %
last, with six dogs, sled. two rifles
and plenty of ammunition, heading
straight north over the ice in search of
new land. A supporting party of three
others accompanied Stefansson sixteen
days due north on the sea ice and then
returned, reaching shore April Is.
Before starting Stefansson left orders
with DIR. Rudolph NJ. Anderson, his
lieutenant in the Canadian government
expedition, to establish a camp for him
on Banks Land.
May Be Gone for Two Years.
Stefansson may not be heard from for
two years, his associates say The three
men in the Stefansson party are re-
markable ice travellers, and expected to
be able to subsist on seal meat, like
the dogs Their sled is built so as to be
readily convertible into boat for cross
ing streams of open water in the ice.
The story of how Ernest De koven
Leff1ngWeu the arctic explorer, and
Capt Otto Nahems. former member
of the Stefansson party, had travelled

party included W. c. Allis, president of
the Arctic Whaling Trading Company.

tfves Towner, Iowa. Miller. Minnesota.
Tess, Ohio; Young, North Dakota: Peters.
Maine, and Frear of Wisconsin, who adj
vocated immediate legislation to meet
commercial emergency needs in the Phil
fppines. The report declares that the
minority do not object to the conservative
for recognition of Philippine independ-
ence when the Filipinos are able to set
up stable government. but adds:
1T is significant that the bill is so much
less radical than the Philippine independ-
ence bill of two years ago and so much
ence and gives the Filipinos so much less
extension of autonomous government"
Change in Sentiment Alleged.
1.-TWO years ago the democrats were
clamoring for immediate or quick indie
pendence- Now they do not even suggest
an early independence. 1t is unfortunate
that the consideration of the bill is forced
into partisan politics.
1.-The minority would be glad to con-
slider at any time any bill for the bene-
fit of the Filipino people and to extend to
them from time to time larger measure
of self-government.
1T is unwise to consider at this time
complete change in the government of
the Philippines. There is a great need
just now of emergency legislation to
which there would be little or no objec-
ton.
