Seett to the Antarctic on his way to the &otlth Pole, and which returned there to fetch him book, but instead brought the news of his and his companions' heroic death, arrived in this port on'Wednesday morning. Commander ]:vans said that. reckoning by the progress of the supporting parties, Captain Scott should have returned to Hut Point by March 17. Regarding the shortage of fuel, he said that Scott had enough fuel to last a month beyond the date of his expected re - tarn. The Terra Nova brought every written record of the southern party, including the private diar- ies, which will be handed to the re- latives of the dead explorers. Cap- tain Seott kept a daily record un- til March 24, and spent the last day in writing hismessage to the pub- lic. Commander Evans will com- plete Captain Soott's story for pub- lication. All on board the Terra Nova look to be in good healthy and bear no outward signs of the hardships they have undergone. All Details Will Be Given. A despaltch from London says : In reply to a cablegram from the edi- tor of The Daily Chronicle inform- ing him of that paper's donation of £2,000 to the Scott memorial fund and asking for further news of the expedition, Comrnander Evans begs to he excused from "going intto the detail's, which may be painful in regard to the end of our beloved comrades." "The whole history of this expedition," adds Evans, `will certainly be given to the public in due course, but please let us com- plete our work in quieitnees. We are pledged to do our utmost to bring this expedition to a success- ful termination. Included in that is the publication of the ecientifio and other details as •a lasting tri- bute to those who have not been spared. Perhaps now you can rea- lize w'hy the official telegram was so short. Surely .its painful brev- ity needs no defence." of further work. Garrard collapsed through over -strained heart. His companion was also sick, and it was impossible to comrnunietute with Cape Evans, ship having left March' 4, and open sea lying between. At- lanso,n and Keohane, Only two'. men raledged out to. Corner Camp to render any help that night bo wanted by southern party, They fought their way out to Corner Camp against the itnu,sually severe weather, and, realizing they ooel•d be of no assistance, were forced to return to Hut Point after depoting one weelc'.s provisions, "On October 3O," the official re- port says, "a large party under Atkinson, well provisioned, set oust. It divided into two sections,and one of them, under Wright, the Toronto man, found Seat's tent, in which were the bodies of Scott, Wil- son and Bowers." Evaporation of Oil. The Christchurch correspondent of the London Daily Mail tele- graphs an . interview with Lieut. Evans, in which the eolnmander re- fused to be drawn into a,discussion of what he called "wicked rumors and conjectures." He denied the stories of dissensions, and was em- phatic in his statement that the supporting party on their way back after having bade farewell to Cap- tain Scott and his conirades ontheir way to the, pole did not -Heddle with the oil. ' `.`There was evaporation, he said, "owing to the leather washers of the cans, and as the supplies were cut so Fane, this made .a considerable shortage." Lieut. Evans declared that the rumors that Seaman Evans had gone insane were cruel, scandalous and baseless, adding • that he be- haved admirably. Capt. Scott, Commanded Evans said, • left in- structions that no search parties should leave the base to seek him. He added that it was beyond hu- man possibility forthe base 'party to have saved Capt.

Atkinson would have accompanied this party, but was kept back in medical charge of Lieut. Evans, second in command, who, it will be remembered, nearly died of scurvy.

In manner he resembles the lawyer somewhat ;more than the poli- tical orator. • The Roy Orator. Mr. Lucas is the happy possessor of a smiling, rotund, ,cherubic. face, which gained for him the nickname of "the boy orator" the first day he appeared in the Legislature. The name has stuck even to this day, though "the boy orator" is now 45 yeare old. Two stories will always be told of him. One is that when he was in 1898 first erected to the House. and came jiown to' Toronto to take his seat, the doorkeeper of the Legislative Chamber re- fused to admit 'him until he had been identified. The doorkeeper thought it-wae some youth trying to play -a praotieal joke on him. - The other gives an incident of Limas' electioneering clays. He had °ailed on a farmer '.whom', he expected would vote right, but just . wielied to make . sure of. He introduced himeeif as Mr. Lucas. To his surprise the voter was standoffish and indifferent. Finally; after a long argu- ment, the farmer gave a grudging consent, to vote for the Conservative candidate. "But," he added, "you can tell your fa - thee to Dome himself next time. If my vote is worth anything I'm -- if I don't think he ought to come after it himself." In the .practice, of law Mr. Lucas' forte is his handling of jury oases. He is head also a member of a city firm, n which hnd e has as partner.s such stalwart Liberals as Alex. Mills and W. E. Raney. ec r It is generally admitted that Mr..

Friday when the British people through their representative heads joined with London's crowd in a solemn requiem to the, brave now lying icebound 'n an 1 n dead 1 tomb in the Antarctic desert. King George, the members of the Cab- inet and the •heads of the navy and army and other national.- services shared in a stately ceremony in. which also the nations of the world associated themselves with Great Britain through their Ambassadors. The vast cathedral of St. Paul, which is the resting -place of Nelson and, many other great dead whose games are on Great Britain's hero roll, was manifestly the fittest place. for the lofty rites to Captain Scott and comrades: Dr. Fernow and the Clay Belt. Dr, B. E. Fernow, who hae: been saying' thingsabout the quality of the soil in Ontario's .20,000,000, acre clay belt, thereby getting into controversy with different members of the Ontario . Government, is one of the most interesting men in To- ronto. 'He is a German who is given credit by most authorities for having in- troduced the practice of the conservation of forest products into the American continent. He, and not Pinehot, ie re- garded as the big forester of the United States. He hail had an active 'and inter- esting life, and gets his •enjoyment as he goes along. He is a veteran of the Franco- Prussian war and himself tells the story. of how, when hefirst came to Toronto, he sat at dinner one evening: beside . a prominent Frenchman, Tho Frenchman asked pr.' Fernow if he ,had ever been in Franco. Dr. Fernow replied: "Yes, once for sev- eral weeks." "When?" .asked the Frenchman. "In 1871," replied Dr, Fernow.

Toronto's Crime Record. There are few more interesting blue. books than the annual report of the Chief of Police of Toronto. I[is figures for the year 1912 have just been made public and reveal the remarkable fact that 34,380 per- sons were arrested or summonsed during the year. This means that about one per- son hi eve'Y 15 of the: entire population during the year has come into collision with the police department. The percent- age would he somewhat greater if allow- ance was -not made for the fact that a good many persons have more than one arrest or summons, to their credit- The figures constitute an increase of 6,724 over 1911. 'Drunkenness on Increase. A BUSY ELEVATOR. Port Colborne Handled More Than 12 Million Bushels in 1912. A despatch from Welland trays : The Government elevator at Port Colborne has had a wonderfully successful year in '1912. With a ca- pacity of 760,000 bushels, it handled last year 12,100,000 bushels, which is the largest quantity handled by any elevator on the lakes, except the Grand Trunk' elevator at Tif- 'fii, which handled 13,680,000bush- els, but its .capacity; is •two million bushels, Port Colborne , handled more graifi than' lingston. Port' Colborneelevator w owbeing en- larged n- 1g ar ed to the two -million size, so. thatt no dottht it will handle more grain the corning season than any .other elevator on the lakes, Toronto School supplies will cost thirty-four thousand 'dollars more t.11aa last year. One of the most narked increases ap- peared under the heading of drunks and disorderliee. This is due, no doubt, to two reasons. One being' the influx of foreigners, and the other being greater stringency on the part of the police. It may also indicate an actual increase in drinking habits. Certainly the number of drunken men who may be observed on Toronto streets is not to the credit of the city. and .does not, one fears, compare favorably with most other cities in Ameri- ca or England of like size. - *The number of prosecutions for keeping houses of i11 fe:me practically doubled. there being 249 duri'n,' the year. This in- crease also : is no doubt largely due to greater vigilance on the part of, the police. It is noteworthy that of the serious crimes the city is comparatively free. Thus, during the entire year there were but two murders, but 46 burglaries, 36 cases of robberyby violence and 43 eases of .pocket picking. , Sir elm G.ibeoe was probably actuated by a desire to uphold the dignity' of the Province.
