sufficient Information and expressed an
honest Judgment aa to aurh value It .luflg

assessment purposes that he acts fairly
and Impartially In fixing such valuation
21. Heiil In the cane at bsr under the

motives and fraudulently In making the
assessment complained of with the wrong
ful Intention of discriminating In favor of
the railroad and telegraph companies
whose property was assessed.

metropolitan and first class different stand
ards Of valuation prevail than In the as
sessment of property generally throughout
the state for general revenue purposes, and
the State Board of Equalization cannot
assess property In harmony with such dif

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.

tic club's relief steamer Windward, with
Lleutensnt Robert K. 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

people waa not light. Food was abundant
and our supply of musk ox and deer meat

and adds: "The captain has taken Informa
tion and has hsd several Interviews with
General Herrera to Induce him to treat
the foreigners here In a way to insure a

terror that all foreigners feel. As Csptaln
Rodgers has done so much good by his
presence here and his firm but courteous
manner of treating with General Herrera
for the Interests of sll foreigners, the con

have appealod to the sovereign pontiff as
a peacemaker. The American government
has appealed to him, and rightly so, to set
tle the trouble In the Philippines. We
have no fear of the outcome. Prejudice and
cant must be put aside and the facts only
considered. 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. I speak not as one
who does not know the conditions In the
rbiiippiues. I spesk with a personal
knowledge ot the priests and the people.".
