LONDON , Sept 3. The Ilrltl h steamer
Windward , having on board the Jackson-
Harmsworth expedition , which has spent
thrco winters near Cape Ploia , Franz Josef-
land , arrived hero today from Fran ? Josef-
land with P J. Jackson am ! his colleagues
All the members ot the expedition arc 111
good health. They report having explored
1'iatiz Jcscflaml thoroughly with the ex
ception of some odd corners. Before the
Windward sailed , the quarters of the ex
pedition at Klmwooil were fastened up , but
Mr. Jackson lett there a quantity of sup
plies in uayo the place ohould be visited
by Prof. Andree or other explorers. Ho
also established a depot at Bell Island.
Talking over his experiences , Mr Jackson
said that since the Windward left Franz
Jouafland labt jeir with lr ) Nanscn , the
winter had been less severe and less wlnd >
than usuul Mr. Jacluon ami Albert Arm-
itage , nautical astronomer of the cxpcdl-
tio.i , started on March 1G with a pony and
dog sledges to explore the western part
ot FranJoscfland. . Thov encountered bois-
teroua vvcathei , and at the end of the flist
month a majorltj ot the dogs and the ponj
sutpunibed , and the exploreis were com
pelled to abandon all but the most essential
part of their equipment The party followed
I the coast line , sometimes on a sea of Ice
ml inmictlmrs along glaciated land The
onstant mists which prevailed made the
ourncy very hard They shot a heir , the
inly one seen , and having procuied meit and
lubbci , they leturned to Elmwood In the
ilddle ot May , nfter meeting a partv sent
ut to look for them. A second expedition ,
hlch went eastward at the beginning ol
linewnu less successful , as , on the second
av out , the explorers lost a sledge through
: io thin ice and had a hazardous return
ourncy.

HCVOLUTJONIZES OLD IDEAS.
The lesnlt of the explorations , it is
Idlmcd , completely revolutionizes , the old
dea of Franz .losefland , and proves that
ho much discussed Gillies land does not
lo where Arctic geogirplieis have been In
ho habit of plaiing It , aud thcrefoic it
uaj bo considered nonexlstant. The whole
ontlnental niaaj of land is replaced b > n
ast number of small Islamic and the lofty
iiountalna bj long ridged hummocks and
co packs , while north of these are , as has
been found , an open sea , which is the most
open north sea in the vhole world.
The most valuable magnetic , metcoro
oglcal and geological obbcrvatlons were
nude , and very valuable- botanical and
oological collections were brought lo Eng-
and.
The winter llfo of the explorers was un
eventful. The members of the expedition
tilled 1,100 loon ( a webfooted bird found in
ho northern rcgiont ) in the autumn , which
novlded ample fresh meat During the
v Inter they caught nineteen loon and
wcnttwo Uttlwakcs ( a hlid ot the gull
vlnd ) , to which they fastened labels in-
tlaled "J" and liberated them. The cold
sometimes i cached 40 degrees below ere
ind then jumped up to 20 degrees below the
rcczlntt nolnt.
The members of the Jackson-Harmsworth
expedition failed to sec King Oscai land ,
and are convinced that there is no gre-U
and noith of Trans Josefland. They add
that the existence of Petermannland is
doubtful and that at moit it must be small
Thesw alterations in the map render tha
prospect of reaching the north pole fiom
I'ran Jcselland more than doubtful , as the
returned explorers aie satisfied there Is no
land north of 82 degrees They did not see
anything of Prof. Andree , vvho stalled on
July 11 from the Islan 1 of Tromsoe In an
attempt to crosvs the north pole by balloon

ST JOSEPH , Mo , Sept 3. ( Special ) "If
by an > chance Albert Kneeland ehould get
out on bond , or should not be convicted , "

burg , W , Va. , "I swear that I will riave the
commonwealth of Missouri all fuither expense

iled the last woman "
The writer of the letter sajs he has been
hunting Kneeland a number of jcars , with
the Intention of killing 'him ' on sight. In
the lettei to Sheriff Hull he alleged that the
artist ruined a little girl , ) a little more thau
Ii years old. the daughter of the man who
wrote the letter. He cays ho lived In a
small tovvn in Iowa , where Kneeland came a
few jcarsago , enlarging pictuus The wilter

COLUMI1US , 0 Sept. 3. The end of the
great miners' strike Is In sight. This after
noon the National Executive board of United
Mlno Workers agreed to recommend to the
minors a propceltlon from the Plttsburg op
erators for a Gtralght price of G5 cents n ton
to continue In force until the end of the > ear
A delegation of all miners who have sus
pended work has been called to meet In Co
lumbus September S at 10 a m to act upon
the recommendation President Hatchford and
the other members of the board say there is
not the slightest doubt that the miners will
approve the recommendation. The ploposl-
tlon docR not Involve arbitration and In effect
proMdcs for an Immediate settlement of the
strike.
Picaldcnl natchford said tonight that there
were special reasons for the board rccom-
nondlnjc the proposition. In the first place ,
It conceles the miners a material advance.
Had a l > 9-cont rate been secured he was ccji-
Ililcnt It could not have been maintained for
nero than seventy da > s The proposition
dots n-vay with all the uncertainties of the
matter and will -bring - the strike to a speedy
termination As fioon CD the miners ratifj
the proposition work will be rc&umcd In all
the mines. In the occond place , the propo
sition provides fora revival of the joint con
ferences for the adjustment of prices The
operators are pledged to meet with the min
ers prior to the termination of the ORieement
and determine the tate of mining for the ne\t
year. Doth the" members of the miners' ex
ecutive boird and the operators' committee
are pleased ovei the outcome of the confer
ence and feel that public sentiment will cus-
tnin theli action
This morning the operators' committee re
newed 1's ' first nropoHltlou for n Gl-ccnt rate ,
pending aibitrntiou This was again rejected
by the miners' board Then the operators'
committee got together and submitted a nev >
proposition for a straight price of Gr > centfl

P1TTS1IUUG , Sept. 3. The , ettloment of
the coal strike on the basis of the proposi
tion now under constitution at the Colum
bus conf-rcnco will have no tlTect upon the
futuie action of thu Now York and Cleveland
Ga'i Coal company , according to the statc-
me-nt of Picaldcnl DP Aimltt. Said he
"Even if the gloat bituminous coal strike
is settled In every state and dlstilct in
volved , and nil the strikers return to work
pending arbitration on a new price , the
mlneib of the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal company will still have to fight It out
with the company and return to work to
cany out the contracts legally signed and
accepted by the workmen. "
In the last great strike Do Armltt's em
ployes were Induced to Join the strikers and
It was three months after the strlUo was
settled before the miners of the New York
nml rirvrlanil lomnanv returned to vvoik at
the fame price they were receiving when
thej quit. President Do Arniltt figures that
the strike has bo far cost the miners ot the
couutiy $8,000,000 He based this statement
upon the supposition that 100,000 men were
out and that they aveiaged ? 10 per week
His men have io&t ? 15,000 In wages to the
company hj breaking their contracts. The
fight of the Do Armltts against the miners
lias also been a very costly one. Already
about $11,000 has been spent by the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company for
wages and board of deputy sheriffs'
A boilj of btrlkeis were stopped by dep
uties this morning while marching to Cen
ter. The men were in squads of twos > and
threes , hut n crowd of seventy-five soon col
lected and when the order was given bj
John McGulio the rush was made and thcj
went through in s-plte of the deputies. A
short , sharp scullle ensued , but no further
opposition was made by the deputies and
the men marched on Last night the cam
pers at Plum Creek drummed a py out

MARYVILLE , IMo , Sept. 3 ( Special Tele
gram. ) Judge Herndon ruled this morning In
the Rasco case that the confessions made by
nasco , excepting the first one , which ex-
Sheriff I'lxler sajs was made to him , shall bo
admitted as evidence. In making this ruling
the court said that the credibility of IMxlcr'o
had been badly shaken on cross examination
and that neither the court nor the Jury would
bo justlllcu in believing all lie had eaid.
Hut , " he naid , "I deem the ex-sheriff's testi
mony Immaterial. My opinion of the faeNi \
that the boy only Indicated to him that he
would confess and that his first confer Ion
was made at Callahan's house In the picsenco
of four other persons. At the former trial
of this case 1 had i > ome doubts as to the , id-
mlHslblllty of these confessions , but I 1mo
no doubts about any of them now , excepting
about the onu purported to have been made
to I'lxler The court , theiefore , rules that nil
confessions made by tills defendant ind testi
fied to here shall bo admitted before the jury
as evidence , excepting the onu first made to
Plxler. "
The court'H ruling on tills question Is re
garded as a hard blow to the defense Inter
est in the case is great and the court room
\san picked this afternoon. All tlio testi
mony introduced today related to the con-
slons , five in all , that Ham > has made.
The state's evidence will probablj all bo in
before noon tomorrow.
