Inc departure this morning of an
American newspaper correspondent
with each of the two scouting parties
who have taken different trails leading
to Moose Factory has aroused keen in
terest at the southern ends of the two
trails.
The two men started on their re-
spective trails fully aware that one of
them was doomed to disappointment.
And now the natives are going the
limit on bets as to which will be the
lucky one.
Boo Grassland. correspondent of The
Tribune, has taken the Abitibi River
trail from Clute, settlement fifteen
miles north of here, while the repre-
sentative Of an American press syndi-
cate is heading along the Missanabi
River from Mattice, the HuJson's Bay

safety Of the airmen last Sunday.
Each man is accompanied by two In
dian guides with dog trains, and it is
estimated by oldtimers mere that by
dusk tonight they we're from twenty
five to thirty-fivc miles north of the
transcontinental railway line and
civilization. Their progress must have

West Point Cadet, Failing in
Examinations. Kills Himself
Corporal Dennis B. Tottens Body, With Pistol Be-
side 1t, Found by Students Grounds
of Academy Reservation

Disappointed because he had failed
in his West Point scholarship examina-
tions. Dennis Bunker Totten, twenty
two years old, "a corporal in the cadet
corps at the United States Military
Academv, committed suicide Thurs
day night by shooting himself. His
body, with discharged pistol beside it.
was found yesterday morning on the
reservation by group of cadets.
The boys father, Lieutenant Charles
Adie! Lewis Totten, had been an honor
man in his class at West Point in 1878.
Proud of his fathers record, Dennis be-
came despondent when he learned that
he had failed in the tests and cou dn t
be graduated next June, even without
honors, and decided to take his life.
He wrote to friends in his home town
of Milford, Conn, telling them of his
failure, but making no mention of his
plans to commit suicide. So far a. is
known, he kept his own counsel and his
relatives learned only yesterday that
he had died a suicide.
Officials of the Academy were reti-
cent in discussing the case. They said
that he had been seen alive last about
dusk Wednesday, when he wandered
alone across the reservation 1t was
said that he had been in i'll health for
some time but the authorities refused
to intimate that the boy had killed
himself. The board Of officers at the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Advisability
Of sending a Congressional commission

Senator Hiram Johnson. as chairman
Of the Cuban Relations Committee

the subject to-day by Senator Phi.
lander C. Knox, Mr. Knox taking the
position that Congress ought to be in
formed about the situation, since obvi.
ously intervention was we'll within the
realms of possibility, unless there
should be a decided improvement.
Senator Knox was member OF
President McKinlcy's Cabinet. and

His prophecies included two which
proved accurate-the foreteilinc Of the
San Francisco earthquake and the

astray, including his most sweeping
conclusion that the millennium would
