T'liri.AUKi.i’HlA, Sept 2V.—Lieuten
ant I’eary said to-day. concerning the
Arctic trip from which he has just re
turned:
"in addition to securing the Cape
'York meteorite, ! laid the plans for
next year's expedition, and when I
leave again, which will lie about the
rnd of nett duly, it will be to remain
up there until I reach the pole or lose
my life in the attempt, if it takes five
years to accomplish this object.
"Next summer I shall take my ves
sel up to Bherard Osborne Fjord and
make that place my base of supplies.
"fin the last trip. I made arrange
ments with Arctic highlanders, a tribe
of Kskimos, consisting of ‘.MO tnen, wo
men arid children, known as the most
northerly tribe of human beings on
earth: to put in this coming winter in
obtaining seal, bear and deer skins for
our clothing, and in securing all the
walrus meat they can for dog food. 1
have singled out eight young men of
the tribe, who, with their wives, ca
noes, dogs, sleighs and tersfs, are to
accompany me to (Sherard Osborne
Fjord, which is about 300 miles further
north than their present abode.
“My .party will consist of a surgeon,
possibly another white man und my
self. The rest will be Eskimos. Tlie
latter know how to drive dogs, they
can go.hungry, and know how to get
food.
“The conditions under which I shall
make the coming expedition are of
the most satisfactory character. The
American Geographical Society has
assured 9150,000 to meet all expenses,
and 1 have been given five years’ leave
of absence. I shall probably buy a
new ship: for next year, though we
may use the Ilopo again. Mra Peary
will not accompany me.
>:>, “J am quite sure that I shall succeed
in reaching the pole. Nansan got
within SCO miles of it, but Andree did
not have one chance in 1,000 when he
started to drift over the pole. I don’t
think Andree' will accomplish any
thing. and he may have lost his life
long before this ‘n his attempt.”
DUN’S REVIEW.
Ecropc leading Gold to Pay for Amer
ican Grain.
NeW York, Sept 2?.—• R. G. Dun A
Co.'a Weekly Revifew of Trade says:
“Gold imports,have begun direct from
England andfrom France, besides the
arrival of 94.000,000 at San Francisco
from Australia for wheat exported.
The .gold i .received there and
stapled from Europo amounts to
?i,1>00,00') in , four days, und the
dvanee of its rate by the Bank of
England to per cent seems little
likely to check the movement, in view
of heavy merchandise balances due
this country, and a rise in the rate of
interest here. The August excess of
merchandise and specie exports over
imports was not far from 913,000,000,
and the September excess will evi
dently be larger,, unless shipments of
gold are considerable.
B'radstrea t’s says: ' ‘There is a cheek
to the onward sweep of demand in
staple lines notiesable throughout the
country for the past six weeks. The
yellow fever quarantine, which ex
tends from 'Texas to Georgia, has
brought wholesale business to a prac
tical standstill throughout the greater
portion of the region embraced by the

CUMlt'i Protest Against Participation
In Sealing Coalsrsscs Heeded.
London. Sept -.JT.—Officials of the
foreign office decline to give the rea
sons for Great Uritian's notification to
the l.'aited States that It cannot
participate in the sealing conference
at Washington if Russia and Japan
take part in it. The action of the
Marquis of Salisbury is the more sur
prising because he accepted for Great
l!rltain the invitation to take part la
the conference with the full knowl
edge that Russia and Japan were in
cluded ia the invitation.
it is known that Canada requested
the withdrawal of Great Britain from
the sealing conference and the gov
ernment unwillingly acceded to this
request, in accordance with its policy
of cultivating the friendship of the
colonies, even at the risk of offending
1 other powers. It is thought in diplo
matic circles that Canada's action in
the premises was influenced by the
fear tbatGreat Britain would be out
voted by the 'United States, Russia
and Japan, whose views regarding
the protection of seals coincide.

The tup Pioneer, which left Puget
Sound September 13 with the bark
Shirley in tow for Skaguay, returned
at I o’clock this morning, having
made the run down in ninety-six
hours The Pioneer brings a report
of a landslide near Sheep camp, on
the Chileoot pass, last Sunday morn
ing, in which eighteen men are said
to have lost their lives. Only one body
is said to have been recovered, that of
a man named Cboynski, a cousin of
Joe Choynski, the prize fighter. The
men supposed to have been lost were
packers on the Dyea trail.
The officers of the Pioneer says that
the story was brought to Skaguay Sun
day evening by three men, who told
it in such a way as to leave no doubt as
to its truthfulness. They described the
avalanche as consisting of rocks, ice
and dirt which had been loosened by
the rain, which had been falling con
tinuously during the past month. All
the bridges on the Skaguay river have
been washed out and the river is a
raging torrent
W. W. Sprague, of Tacoma, who
started eight weeks ago with a three
years’ outfit, returned from Skaguay
on the schooner.
The steamer Alki, a week overdue
from Alaska, arrived this morning at
4 o’clock. It carried a large list of
men returning from Skaguay who
were unable to eross the pass. The
snow was six inches deep at Lake
Benton, and three inches fell on the
summit of the Chileoot pass last Sat

Wiggins predicts a great hurricane

“The announcement by the marine

moving up the Atlantic coast from the
West Indies is a meteorological event
-of more than common interest.
That a great storm is near is a
meteorological fact The moon will
'be in conjunction with Jupiter and
Mercury on the 25th, and Mars on the
'27th. The moon crosses the celestial
equator on the 25th, moving south

with the sun on the 2<ith at 1 o’clock,
p. m., London time, and will be at her
perigree or nearest point in her orbit
to the earth on the 21th. They are

notice of her intention to return to
California by the end of Novem
ber. Prince Bsterhazy will accom
pany ber and immediately upon their
arrival here they will bo married in
Lake county, I presume, for her home
la there. Because they have preferred
to he married in this state it must not
be argued that either Mrs. Langtry or
Prince Esterhazy regard the former
divorce as lacking in legality in any
other jurisdiction. On the contrary,
they are advised by tbelr solicitors in
London that the decree granted at
Lafeeport baa freed her absolutely
from Edward Langtry, so that she
may marry in any part of the world,
if she chooses.”

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.
|t Will Educate the Children and Sara
Money to the Tax-Payers.
The law passed by the last legisla
ture, says a Lincoln correspondent of
the Omaha Bee, empowering school
boards to provide transportation for
pupils to another school in the same
district whenever the distance to the
school is impracticable for the pupils
to attend without transportation, is
being taken advantage of by several
districts of the state. In Lincoln it has
been decided to abandon one of the
schools in the edge of the town and
transport the pupils by street cars to
one of the other graded schools. It is
estimated by this the expense of pro
viding an education for these pupils
will be reduced 45 per cent. In Fre
mont and Nebraska City the school
boards are also preparing to try the
new system.
In many of the western counties there
are districts in which the average at
tendance of pupils is less than five. In
some it runs as low as one pupil to the
school. In 1,700 districts the average
attendance is below ten pupils to the
school. Should districts of this sort
agree among themselves and transport
the pupils of one district over to the
school run'by another district, there
would he a saving of fully 30 per cent
in the furnishing of an education for
the pupils.
It is learned by consulting the rec
ords at the office of the state superin
tendent that in one district the ex
pense of maintaining a school from
February 2, 1891 to October 8,1892, was
91,389.65, although the average attend
ance during that time was shown to
he two pupils. The teacher was paid
940 a month and the directors got th«
balance. In another district the re
port shows that in 1892 the sehoo;
house was 14x14 feet in size and wai
fitted out with nine single seats. The
average daily attendance for that year
was three. The expense account,
aside from the teacher's salary, shows
that 930 was expended for a map, and
that 9508.09 was drawn by the three
directors in various amounts of from
920 to 975, the vouchers showing that
the money was drawn to pay for “at
tending meetings, work and visiting
schools.” The same district in 1893
contained thirteen pupils of school age
of whom six attended school. The
average attendance was three as on
the previous year. The levy for the
year was 18 mills. The expenditures
were as follows: Teacher, 9360; re
pairs and fuel, 973.75; maps and charts,
941.40; books and supplies, 913.30; well
and windmill, $294.45; janitor work,
kindling and carrying water, 9100;
other purposes, 990.76. In 1894 the
district contained eleven pupils of
school age, the average daily attend
ance was four. The directors paid the
teacher 9120; new scliool house, 9466.10;
repairs and fuel, $28: books, maps,
etc.. 960.73; books and supplies, 920;
janitor and furnishing water, 990; in
surance, 917-50; all other purposes,
9183.22.
A report of the Peru normal school
just mode to the state superintendent
shows that the total enrollment of the
school at the end of the first week is
larger than the enrollment at the end
of the term of last year. The enroll
ment last Friday evening was 572 in
the normal and preparatory depart
ments. _
Union Pacific Will be Sold.
A special to the Chicago Times-Her
ald from Washington says: It was
practically decided at a cabinet meet
ing that the government will not in
terfere with the proposed foreclosure
upon the Union Pacific Railway, and it
is therefore morally certain that the
syndicate scheme of taking over that
great property, as arranged during the
closing hours of the Cleveland admin
istration, will be carried out. While
no official announcement to this effect
is made, numbers of the cabinet do not
deny that such was the conclusion
reached and that there will be no ap
peal from the decree of foreclosure and
sale recently entered by the district
court at Omaha.
The syndicate has already deposited
a forfeit of 94,500,000, and has, it is un
derstood, completed all necessary finan
cial arrangements to pay the balance
as soon as the road is sold in compli
ance with the orders of the court. This
arrangement meets with the approval
of the subcommittee of the senate com
mute on Pacific roads, which held a
meeting here last week, and as soon as
he terms of purchase have been com
plied with by the syndicate, the gov
ernment's connection with the road
will cease.
pteoraaita t'roaucts Abroad,
The El Paso (111.) Journal of Septem
ber has this to say of the Nebraska ag
ricultural exhibit which is going the
rounds of the Illinois county fairs:
The exhibit made by the gentlemen
from Nebraska is a beauty. In point
of artistic arrangement it would do
credit to our state fair and should be
seen by every visitor to the El Paso fair
this year.
We judge by the expression from the
many who have been to the building in
which it is located that the display of
farm products is equal in its entirety
to any ever shown in this county, de
spite the fact - that Woodford county
has the reputation of taking great in
terest in this department and was suc
cessful in carrying off the premiums at
the world's fair display in the Illinois
building. _
A Splendid Show of Cattle.
Elijah Filley, of Gage county, super
intendent of the cattle exhibit at the
state fair, said that the eyes of man
never saw a better display of cattle
than was at the state fair. All the cat
tle barns were full and the stock had
to be run over into some of the horse
barns. Everybody acquainted with the
history of the state fair united in say
ing that the cattle show had never been
equaled in the state. Stand up for Ne

Answer: Recording any paper that
affects the title to a patented invention
in a county or state is not a legal no
tice to the public. The following is
the law upon the subject:
Sec. 4898. Every patent, or any inter
est therein, shall be assignable in law
by an instrument in writing and the
patentee or his assigns or legal repre
sentatives may in like manner grant
and convey an exclusive right under
his patent to the whole or any specified
part of the United States. An assign
ment, grant or conveyance shall be
void as against any subsequent pur
chaser or mortgagee for a valuable
consideration, without notice, unless it
is recorded in the patent office within
three months from the date thereof,
