EXPLORERS RETURN.

Important Inforhiatlon,
EDINBURGH, Nov. 10,-It now ap
pears that Dr. Leopold Kami .Is the only
member of his party of arctic scientific
exploration who arrived at Dundee on
the whaler Eclipse from Davis' strait.
Dr. Robert Stein of the United State
geological survey decided at the eleventh
hour not to come to Scotland, but to
nwaitthe first opportunity of being lnnd
ctl on the American side. Mr. Samuel
Wartnbath of Boston preferred to remain
at Cape Sabine for a time.
In an Interview Dr. Knnn gave some
Interesting details regarding the Peary
and Srerdrup expeditions.
"Lieutenant Peary's iiartv." he Raid.
"passed the winter nt Etnli, on Smith 'a
sound, near the spot where Dr. Hayes
had his winter quarters in 1H0O and not
far from the scene of the Grecly disaster.
In February and March of this year Fort
Magnesia, our winter house' nt Bedford,
on Pym Island, was thrice visited by tho
members of his expedition. On the first
occasion Dr. Hansen's party camp, on the
second a party under Dr. Dwlerick and
later Lieutenant Penry himself in com
mand of a sledging party.
"tie reported that nbont ten months
previously he had met Sverdrup in the
Kane basin, north of Smith's sound.
From conversations I elicited that some
feeling had been engendered between
Lieutenant Peary and Sverdrup, the for
mer rnthpr resenting what he considered
the latter's intrusion Into ground which,
for exploring purposes, the American was
inclined to regard ns his own.
"Sverdrnp's party hod thoroughly ex
plored the Ellesmere hintcrlund, mapping
out a region that was hitherto a blank
on the charts. Many of Sverdrnp's Hags
wore seen by us.
"In the course of our hunting expedi
tions in this great tract of country quan
tities of musk oxen were found on what
seemed to be old and established feeding
grounds.
"When the Tenry nnd Sverdrup pnrtles
separated, Sverdrnp's understood inten
tion whs to explore the v:ist area of land
nnd water In and nrottnd Jones' sound be
yond Cape Eden. I believe Sverdrup,
on the Frnni, is now wintering in Jones'
Bound, nnd iny opinion, which is bneked
by that of the Dundee whalers, is that it
will be impossible for the Fram to come
home this year. The autumn has been
very tempestuous, and the ice was such
ns to render navigation next to impossi
ble. "I nm certain that Lieutenant Penry is
now wintering at Fort Conger. When
I left f'nnp York nn tlin liVlirtun J,,,... l
J the Windward was expected to touch
there about the middle of July, where or
ders from Lieutenant Penry which I had
brought were left -with the Eskimos."
LOST IN BAY OF FUNDY.
Only Konr Survivors to Tell of the
Montlcello'a Wreck.
YARMOUTH, N. S., Nov. 12. The
shore of this county for ten miles east
and west Is strewn with wreckage of the
hull and cargo of the steamer City of
Montieello, which foundered Saturday
morning, and 25 bodies of victims of the
disaster have been recovered from the
sea, which is still raging with terrific
fury. Many people have assembled at
ltockville, near where the first body
came ashore, and numerous relatives of
members of the crew, who nearly all be
longed to points on this const, have ar
rived to identify the dead.
The first .body was found at daylight,
when the sine lifeboat which was sup
posed by the survivors of the first boat
to have been swamped wns discovered on
the shore. " "
l lie fury of the surf is simply appalling
in this region.
Tlie total number of people who were
on board is now placed at 40.
The four survivors are Captain Smith,
a passenger; Third OlHccr Fleming, Quar
termaster Wilson and Stewardess Smith.
Tlie place where the Montieello struck
is at the mouth of the "Bay of Fnndy,
where the waters of the bay join those of
the Atlantic. There are many reefs and
tdionls at this spot, und tlie currents are
many and changeable, it being one of the
most dangerous places on the coast. Thn
gale kicked up a tremendous sea, and at
the time the vessel struck the waves were
beating upon the rocks nnd sending spray
hundreds of feet over the land.

CHINESE ANTIPATHIES.
They Ave Ilnaed I pon Some Ancient
and Very Powerful i
Cause.
It should be remembered thnt the
antipathy of Chinese to foreigners
from the west has several verv nn-
cient and very powerful causes, savs
ex-Minister Angell In Atlnntic.
Profound differences of belief nnd
of temperament separate the Asiatics
generally by a wide chasm from the
auc Kuiien age or tne
former, all their ideals belong to the
remote past. Those of the latter be
long to th future. Their eeonomlo
idens are far apart. Inventions, ma
chinery, division of labor, belong to
me Europeans, and are repelled bv
the Asiatics. Their religions touch
ing the deepest springs of life are dis
cordant. The western man ree-nidn
his civilization as so far superior to
that of the eastern mnn that he looks
down with a certain contempt on him,
a contempt which Is cherished to the
full by the Turn for "infidel dogs," by
Brahmins lor the conquerors of India.
by the Chinese for "foreign devils."
' But the Chinese have special griev
ances; the opening of ports and the
imposition of obnoxious treaties on
them by force, the construction of
railways and telegraphs, nnd the
w-orklng of mines in such n way as to'

And out of the situation there grew
tlie desire, stronger ami stronger, to
get away, anywhere from Silkminster
to London, perhaps London, whith
er every fortune-hunter or fortune
loser turns his steps. At length a
definite plan took possession of me.
Hastily I packed a few things In

knocked at my landlady's door, and
said: "I am going for a long- ride.

ipon a stretch of roud that was more
than usually dreary and secluded. On
my right wns nn open expanse of com
mon, nnd on my left, on the top of an
embankment, the main line of the
Great West-Northern railwny ran for
some two or three milos parallel with
the road, a hedge between me and the
bottom of the embankment. The mo
mentary flash of a warning red light
on a signal-post as I began ridimr bv
the side of this embankment set my
mind flowing in a new channel. The
whole country hnd recently been
aroused to the sense of a terrible dan

certain of our greut trunk railways to
wreck express truins. " Some of these
attempts were successful, nnd more'
than one accident was the result;

But there was more to be done, and
no time to be lost. I hnd to remov
the obstructions from the metnls nnd
secure my prisoner. I wnnted light
on the scene. Hastily I dashed down
the embankment, took off my blcyel
lump, and hurried back again. Then
saw the extent of his devilment.
He hnrfl mnnnged to get three old
sleepers, which were probnbly lying
by the side of the track nwniting re
movnl. Two of these he hnd lashed
firmly across the metals, with a space
of about a couple of feet bclweon
The third he had been in the net of
pecurlng between them, pointing nt
nn angle toward the train so Hint
it would catch under the bcd-ploto
of the engine and wreck the works
The third sleeper I removed. Then
took the piece of rope he hnd been
about to use, nnd tied the wretch's
arms behind him, lnshing his feet to
gether also. Having disposed of him
I wns turning my nttention to the
other two sleepers, when nn ominous
ronr in the distance, In the direction
of London, startled me. A train was
coming! With n yell of dcspnlr, I set
to work nt those ropes. It was tic

the approaching train. How could I

As I asked myself this question I
felt something warm trickling from
my left arm. I turned my lnntern on
it. Blood dripping red blood from
the knife-wound, which I had forgot
ten.
Ah! An inspiration. And with
prnyer that it might not be too late,
1 proceeded to put It into execution
Drawing out my handkerchief, 1
quickly applied It to my arm. In
three or four seconds It was saturated
with blood.
I I glanced ahead again. Oh! those
lights! They were only about half a

Hastily I folded the dripping hand

it across the face of my bicvele lamp.

Stumbling, running, leaping.
rushed toward the train, waving my
extemporized danger-signal franticnl
ly as 1 did so. The headlights gleamed
brighter and brighter, the ronr be
enme nearer and nearer. Would they
never stop? Ah! A whistle. A shriek
In the night ns of a startled wild ani
mal. And then a rasping nnd n grat
ing of nruke-blm'ks, a stream of flying
sparks from the rails as the wheels
dragged along them, a glare of light
in my very face, and a hoarse voice
from the foot-plate.
"What's up there? D'ye k:iow you're
stopping the Silkminster express?"
"Thonk God I have!" I answered.
And then for a few minutes all was
black the excitement and the loss
of blood were too much for me. When
I came to there was n crowd of pas
sengers around me, and they gave me
some stimulant,
"Huve they got him?" I asked. '
"Got him? Aye, we've got him,"
said the guard, "ond we won't let him
go in a hurry.
They got my machine from the road,
and I traveled in n first-class car
riage bock to Silkminster. The kind
ly guard, who had a knowledge of am
bulance work, had bound up my
wound, which was a very slight one.
One of my traveling companions, cu
riously enough, wns a director of the
line, and to him I told the story how
I had captured the train wrecker. He
congratulated me heartily, nnd told
me thnt the company would certainly
pay me the reward.
"Excuse me," I said, "but mey I nsk
for it at once that is, within this
fortnight? The truth is thnt the
money is a godsend to me. It will
save me from ruin,"
And it did. A week afterward I was
able to walk into the partners' otlice
with my books properly bnlunced. Mr,
Mursh shook me by the hand.
"We will not nsk," he said, "for any
explanation of the mistake or how It

our method of dealing with you will

curring again, 'for in that case not
fven such a plucky action at that
which you uchie.ed Inst wee't or tho

we trust the matter is at un end for
iver." And so it was. I do not think the
partners will have eaiiKc to complain
of me nguin. And the day that 1 suw

THE PRESIDENT AT EOiii:.

on Index In Sliiipllelty of
Oar I'nlillc Life.
The use of the front door of the
white house tells nn impressive story
of the simplicity of our republican
form of government. In nnd out this
one portal go the president and his
family; the ladies of fashion who
call upon the president's wife: the
copyists, telegraphers und messengers
who are employed in the clerical work
of the executive mansion, nnd they
number a score; the office-seekers rind
all visitors to the white house on
bnsinefs; parties of tourists on their
way to see the historic Kast room:
and the ambassadors of foreig-n mon-
arens going to present their creden
tials to the president of the United
States.
In the palace of a European mon
arch there would be several entrances.
The public would hnve one door, the
fumily nnother, and the diplomutlsts
a third.
The only attempt made nt thB
white house to secure nrivnev fnr
the president and his wife, says the
Youth's Companion, is this: Vhen
mey enter or depart, two of the
guards about the door quietly take
places at the head of the. little flight
of steps which lend up to the portico,
nnd hold the public bnck a few sec
onds, while the president nnd wife
step out to the carriage or go in
from it. Usually a little hew f
pie collects to see the president pnss
so near, nnd to them he always bows
cordially.
Inside the door lt is expected thnt
no one will accost the president

that this is clone once a week, iu or
