STRIKERS GET THE BENEFIT Claim to Be Helped Btjr Injunrlloo, ,,' Which Bedaces Shop ... Forces, Strikers claim to be reaping benefits from the Union Pacific'! injunction. Aside from the forty men who they said left the Omaha hops Wednesday, others, according to the claims of the pickets, went out yesterday morning and those who are still Inside are restless result ot the wave ot immigra tion that has been set In motion. As was stated 'from an Interview with one of the men who leftt the hops Wednesday, these men now feel a greater degree of security In coming out since the restraining order has been Issued, believing, ot course the reports given them ot the desperate character of the strikers and the' Injunction will have a tendency to suppress all violence. There la something strange about 'this movement ot men to and from the shops. Pickets who stood at or near the shop yard entrances all 1 dsy Wednesday stated that as high aa forty desertions occurred during the day and reporters met and talked with many men at Labor temple who said they had Just left the shops. Yet, on the other band, officials of the Union Pacific dispute all claims Of desertions and bold that their ' shop forces are not diminished or reduced la the least. One of the highest officials yesterday said: "You tell us forty men left the shops, but we have not missed one." Again the statement has been made by a member of the twosrlotendent ot motive power staff that the shop forces here are up to the normal In numbers and efficiency and have been for several weeks. Events ot the last few day have challenged this statement, however.' ' '" I During the inquest over the body of Earl I Caldwell Tuesday, one ot tbx Union Pacific guards who testified. Informed the Jury In answer to a question by the attorney for the strikers, that In the blacksmith de partment where he had been employed, there are now and have been tor some tlmo all told, thirty men. This lacks consider able ot being normal force. When tb strike began this department contained about seventy-five men. Whether the forces are up to the stsndard or not. the company continues Increasing them by Importing new men. A large shipment of men was due and they are aaid to have arrived from the east yesterday. There were to be fifty-eight in all, forty from Buffalo and eighteen from New York, according to Information received by strikers from their union brethren In these two cities. United States Marshal Mathews has not yat completed the service ot his Injunctions. It has been Impossible for the strike leaders to get all their men together for ' this purpose and the marshal was at Labor Temple yesterday distributing writs to some of the stragglers. ' Charles Posplsll, one ot the strikers whom the coroner's Jury In the Caldwell Inquest, recommended be held for further investi gation, although not Implicated In the crime, baa been released from custody on 15.000 ball.

Pesry on bosrd, ar rived, at North Sidney at 8:15 thli morning from Greenland. , Lieutenant Peary did hot succeed In reaching the pole;"but It' is announced that he made Important discoveries. When Peary stepped from Windward to the wharf no one would have supposed that ho had braved th rigors of a winter In th polar regions. H's face waa bronted, but he looked the picture ot health. Mrs. Peary and daughter, who had gone with Windward to meet him, looked well, al though the former. Is just recovering from an Illness. Dr. Dlederlck was on board and quite well. As far as can be learned the difference be tween him and Lieutenant Peary has not been patched up. Dr. Dlederlck declined to say anything further at present then that the difficulty between him and Lieu tenant Peary had not been settled. Ill Faith. I daonteri. The cltixps of Sydney gave Lieutenant Peary a public reception In Alexandra hall this evening. Mayor Crow, presided and presented to Lieutenant Peary an eloquent address commendatory ot his work, to which the explorer made a brief but ef fective response. "God Save the King" and "America" were sung by the audience, after which many of those present were presented to Lieutenant Peary. Lieutenant Peary has received an invi tation from the Scottish Geographical so ciety to visit Edinburgh and receive a gold medal, , Ita highest honor. He has also been elected an honorary fellow of the National Geographical society, whose head quarters are at Washington. D. C. He ssys he feels certain that the polo ran be reached and furthermore that If he were a man of Independent means he would persevere until he succeeded. Lieutenant Peary said: "Our expedition did not reach the north pole, but we made most important scientific discoveries. We are well and glad to get back to civilization." Ho recovered and brought back the In struments and library -abandoned by the Greeley expedition,. Ha also brought numer ous snd' rare specimens of natural history.' Lieutenant Peary sent to the Arctic club the following report of the operations of th expedition since August 9, 1901: Left at Erik harbor, on the Kllesmere cosst, August 29, the party reached Payer harbor September 16, crossing Roose bay by sledge and partly by boat, then going across Beford Pima about. a week later and met Eskimos, began to fall sick, not one escaping. Before November 19 six adults and one child were dead: neatly all the others were very weak, but out of danger. . Ravage ot Fatal Kpldemlc. 'Early In January Eskimos rams ax-ross from Anvllaka, bringing new of the rav ages of a fatal epidemic through the tribe. Word was sent back by these ecouta for as many of the survivors aa could to come to me, and by the end of the month they began arriving. In February a large depot of dog food was established near i'ape Louis Napoleon, some sixty miles north of Sabine. On March 1 my advance party of six sledges In charge of Hehsen left for Conger. March 6 started with the main fiarty of eighteen sledges, leaving Percy n charge at Payer harbor. Conger was reached In twelve marches, arriving 'Within an hour or two of the advance party. My supporting party of Eskimos returning from Conger brought down the instruments, chronometers and Arctic' library. Eight marches more took us to Cape Hecla. The north end of Robinson channel was all open across to the Greenland coast, lakes of water extending northward as far as could be- seen from Black -Cape and Cape Ramaome. From Hecla another support ing party returned Start Over Polar sea. April 1 started northward over the Polar sea with Hansen, (our Eskimos and six sledges. Old floes covered deep with snow and intersected with rubble ridges and lanea of young ice were encountered from the moment we left the Ice foot. The same1 kind of traveling, except the lanes of young Ice, as found by the English expedition of 1876. After six marches open leads, floes In motion were encountered. .Two natives were sent bsck. As we advanced the floes became smaller, the pressure ridges-on a grander scale and the open leads more fre quent. Each day's march was more peri lous snd our general course deflected West by the character of the ice. Finally, at 84.17 north latitude, northwest of Hecla. the polar pack became Impracticable and further efforts to advance were given up. New leads and pressure ridges with foggy weather made our return In some respectH more ssfe than the advance.' ' Hecla was regained April 11 and Conger May 8. Leav ing Conger May 6, Cape Sabine was reached on the loth. A rew days later went north as far aa Cape Louis Napoleon to complete the survey of Babbit bay, returning the first of June. A proposed trip across Ellea- mere land westward wa prevented by open water in Ducnanan Day. . The Ire broke iu earlier than In 1801 and Bayer harbor wa blockaded almost con tinuously. . Bores Way Thraasjh Ice. The Windward bored Its way through the Ice and entered the harbor the morning of August 6 and got out again the same after noon, with scarcely fifteen minutes to spare before the harbor was closed by the Ire. Forcing our wsy across rlmlth sound.- my Eskimos with their belongings were landed In I ghflelil gulf. Several days were de voted to hunting walrus, then Windward started south, reaching and leaving Cape York the afterncon of August 2S. Calling at Moldhoun. Ureenland. and Cape Haven. Bafflnsland. Windward arrived at Chateau bay, Iahrador, September 14, and sent dispatches, l he summer voyage has been without mishap and Windward with lis engines nas mails as good time aa the larger ana more powerful ships that nave been going north the last ten years. The year at Payer harbor was passe, comfort ably, though an anxious strain, caused bv the ravages or disease among my ralthful people waa not light. Food was abundant and our supply of musk ox and deer meat continued throughout -tne year. The north ern siedge trip in tne spring was arduous. but not ma'ked by special exposure, suffer ing or danger more than Is necessarily In cidental to serious arctic wont. . Find Qrcelr Instruments. Equipment and personnel were satisfac tory and further advance was vetoed by Insuperable natural -oOpdtttons. --'Wind ward hum on board the instrument, chro nometer and arctic library abandoned by the ureely expedition ana numerous speci mens of natural history, tear, mask ot, reindeer and walrus aklns.

God-fearing men will do right and Justice, .Unfortunately, nearly all the statements : furnished from abroad to., the America press on the friar question are filled with calumny and mendacity in re gard to the friars In the Islands. We do not blame the Philippine commission for any of the opinions that body holds for wo know the Information furnished it waa mainly obtained from our enemies, men who have stopped at nothing to vilify and malign our brothers.
