ANOTHER TRAGEDY
OF THE ARCTIC

Nome, Alaska, Sept. 16.-Twelve
members of the Stefansson Arctic ex-
pedition have perished it was learn
ed yesterday when the United States
revenue cutter Bear arrived with
eleven survivors of the exploration
ship Karluk's crew, rescued from
Wrangel1 Island by the gasoline
schooner King and Winge and trans
ferred to the Bear seventy-fve miles
from Wrangen Island
The Karluk was crushed in the ice
last January and part of the crew,
after Incredible hardships and perils,
reached Wrangell Island, eighty
miles distant, on March II with sew
enty-nine days rations. These were
exhausted about June 4. Death by
starvation and cold was ever near the
until Sept. when the res
cue ship arrived. The King and
Winge, after leaving Nome Sept. 6,
went TO East Cape, Siberia, to take
on Eskimo and skin boats.
She then laid her course for Rog-
ers Harbor, WrangeH Island, arriv-
ing there about 1880 O'Clock on the
night of Sept. 6. Four Eskimos in a
skin boat went ashore and brought
back a number of men. The schooner
then proceeded to the other side of
the is!and, where it picked up the re-
manning survivors. "A black and
white cat picked up by the Karluk s
crew at Victoria, B. c.. last year, also
was rescued.
Counting the eight men who
perished on the ice while trying TO
reach land, after the Karluk was
crushed, the three who died on
Wrangell Island, and Andrew Nor
man, of the Anderson party, who
committed suicide by shooting, while
insane from exposure, twelve men of
the Stefansson expedition have died.
After the Karluk was crushed in
the ice north of Herald Island last
January, her party camped on ice for
some time. Finally they decided to
make for Wrangell Island. They di-
vided into parties and set out. The
party led by Dr. F'orbes-MacKay
changed its mind and headed for the
Siberian shore. 1t repented and was
seen to lay its course again for
Wrangell Island -Four days later, in

ITALY MAY JOIN
THE TRIPLE ENTENTE

Bordeaux, Sept. 16.-The Temps
quotes Prince Tasca di Cuto, an 1taa-
ian socialist deputy, with reference
to the attitude of Italy:
Opinion in Italy says the dep
uty, lis unanimous in demanding the
realization of the anti-triple alliance
program. Every one today believes
that Italy must absolutely separate
her policy and destiny from the triple
alliance.
UNITED action with the triple en-
tente is the inevitable autgrowth OF
the situation. Itaay's neutrality has
been a necessary transition; cur mil
itary measures have been taken as
quickly as geographical conditions
permitted, and the italian army is
ready for eventua1ities. Our fleet is
modified and coaled, thanks to ar
rangements with England.
'fWe are now neutral only in ap-
pearance. The action of Italy might
definitely turn the scale in favor of
the triple entente"

gies, and Mr.. Boyer came from Nc
dntosh with a two+mule wagon lead
of sixteen attractive ladies and
handsome men to the Methodist
church during the last week of the
protracted meeting at this place. The
services were conducted by Messrs.
Henderson and Brown of M1canopy
and Mcintosh. During the meeting
the choir, assisted iby an excellent
orchestra, rendered delightful music.
Sinners and converts were invited to
the church regardless of denomina-
ton. There were three converts
during the meeting. Mr. Henderson
begins a protracted meeting at OWN
stcn this week.
Orange Lake should feel especially
blessed, as she is growing up some
sober. good boys. and pretty, indus-
trious girls, has good schools and fine
churches, and is visited by many peo-
pie from all sections.
The A G. Il. r. r. Co. has Just
erected three section houses at this
place. The men employed on this
work are good, sober workmen and
were regular attendants at the SER
vices at the Methodist church.
A fair effort is being made for a
fall crop.
The fish men are disturbed on ac-
count of the fish law, which also dis
turbs and disappoints the public who
come to enjoy the fish fries. and have
