Peary's Evidence Now in the Hands of
Arctic Club President.
A de psteh from Portland,
Maine, says : ('ommander Robert
le Peary has placed all of his evi-
dence to prove that I)r. Cook did
tee reach the North Pole, as he
hays he did, in the hands of Gen.
Thomas Hubbard, of New York,
the president of the Peary Arctic
Club. Ile Nil! not make any fur-
ther move in the controversy until
Gen. Hubbard has gone over all
the documents he received on
Thursday, and the two have con-
sutted together.
Peary announced from the Lab-
rador haven that he was bringing
with him indisputable evidence to
cut the ground from ,• under
Dr.
Cook's claim to Polar achieve-
ments. He would not accept any
invitations or ovations, he said lat-
er, at Sydney, until the matter of
Cook's pretensions had been final -
1; settled. On Thursday he turned
over to the head of the associati n
which had financed his recent Po-
lar expeditions, and which shares
with him the burden of present dis-
comfort, the proof on which his
claim to being the sole discoverer
cI the North Pcle rests. Gen. Hub-
bard, besides being the president
ct the association as Peary's hack -
c rs, is also a lawyer of high stand-
ing, and Peary's personal counsel.

An army of white hien who at best
are novices are a distinct hin-
drance, while a cumbersome luxury
(.f equipment is fatal to progress.
We chose to live a life as simple as
that of Adam. and we forced the
strands of human endurance to
scientific limits. If you will reach.
the Pole there is no other way. We
were not overburdened with the
aids to pleasure and comfort, but
I did not start for that purpose.
The expenditure of a million dol-
lars would not . have given us a
greater advantage."
TO BUILT) MEN-OF-W%I1.
A Montreal Company Will Estab-
lish a Plant.
A despatch from Montreal says:
It is stated here that a number of
roniinent shipping men are form-
ing a big ship -building company.
They are planning to build a plant
capable of turning out men-of-war,
and in fact every kind of steam-
ship. Sir Montagu Allan, inter -
a iewcd on Wednesday, admitted
that many prominent Canadians
had been discussing t!ie project
quietly fur some time, and had
promised to unite in financing the
scheme. "There has been nothing
definite done yet," he said, "hut I
1( pe very shortly to see the com-
pany well under way." Sir Mon-
tagu said that as yet no decision
•s to the site of a shipbuilding
plant had been determined on, but
admitted that a largo one would
undoubtedly be established.

According to a London Times de-

1912. When the scheine is in full
working order it is estimated that
It. will provide 40,000 junior ca-
dets, 75.000 senior cadets, and 55,-
000 citizen soldiers under 21. The

forth he recruited only from the
lolly -trained men. It is hoped that
after 1916 Australia will have a first
line of 50,000 men ready to go any-
where, a seeoud line of 50,000 ready

line of 140.000 composed partly of

A despatch from Ottawa says:
Lying across the grave of his young
wife in Beechwood Cemetery, with
a bullet hole through his brain, E.
11. Hamilton, a former resident of
Ottawa and latterly employed in
New York by a boot and shoe com-
pany, was found dead on Thurs-
day afternoon by the caretaker of
the cemetery. A revolver lying be-
side shim on the grave told the
story of the su'cide. Hamilton's
wife died a few months ago. after
they had been married less than a
year. On Wednesday he came from
New York to look at her grave in
the cemetery here. At noon on
Thursday he called on the clerk at
the cemetery and asked for the bill
for the care of the plot. A few
moments later a pistol shot was
heard near the grave of Mrs. Ham-
ilton, and the lifeless body of the
despondent husband was found a
few minutes later prone over the
grave. The deceased was 35 years
of age, and was formerly a mem-
ber of the Ottawa police force.

BUTCHERED BY PEASANTS
Thirty Are Dead and One Hundred and Fifty
Seriously Injured at Kiev, Russia.
A despatch from Berlin nays:
Another meassacre of the Jews by
the Russians has taken place at
Kiev, according to information re
seised on We4iuesday by prumi'1
ent Jews of this city.
The latest outrage began on last
Thursday, the Jewish New Yeas's
Day, and lasted for three days,
during which time 18 Jews were
killed outright, 12 so severely in-
jured that they subsequently dike',
and 150 seriously injured. Ther^
were a thousand lesser casualtir,,
besides the destruction of sever11
hundred thousand dollars' worth .ef
Jewish property. The Jews haft
but scant means of defending
themselves, and succeeded in kill
Ing but three of their Russian as
sailants and injuring a score.
The reactionary party is respon-
sible for the latest anti-Jewish
outbreak. It became enraged at
the Jews for their support of tap
reform movement, and decided t
inaugurate the Jewish New Year
with another attack on the Jew
several of which have darkened
Kiev's history in the last few yea's.
Hundreds of peasants were hired
l•y the reactionary party and they
leu in Ow attack on the Jews. At
the height of the mob's frenzy 100
Jewish women and girls were seized
ha the drunken rioters, stripped of
their clothes, chained together in
a long line and paraded naked
through the streets, tthile the
crowds of Russians jeered. reviled
and spat upon them. Two Jewish
toys who sought to defend the wo-
men against this outrage were
seized by the leaders and thrown
into a nearby bonfire that had been
built of the plunder of sacked Jew-
ish houses, and roasted alive, while
the mob danced abut the flames.
One of the first. acts of the snob,
which had been made drunk before
b1 ing turned loose for the murder-
ous work. was to rush to the syna-
gcgue, where the rabbi was butch-
ered and the congregation driven
from the building. The edifice was
then demolished.

111(311 EST TOWN IN THE WORLD
Mining Station Run Far Up in the
Andes.
Cerro de Pasco is the highest
town in the world. The remark-
able broad gauge railway by which
it is reached passes over a higher
altitude -about that of Mont Diane
-and there are mining camps and
Indian villages at greater eleva-
tions. It is also true that there are
higher railway stations, for on the
Arequipa-Puno lino the station of
Crucero Alto attains the stupend-
ous elevation of 14,660 feet ; I.at at
;1,200 feet above the sea level there
i, no other real town of 8,000 in-
habitants, with a railway station,
telegraph, telephones, churches,
shops, clubs, hospitals and vice-
ccnsuls. It is a wonderful example
'1 American enterprise, says the
London Spectator.
The section of the railway which
tuns from Oroya tc this town oo-
longs to the Cerro de Pasco Min-
ing Company, and is extremely
cemfortable, smooth running and
fast, considering the gradients. It
passes through fine grassy valleys
grazed by countless herds of lla-
mas, and the blue sky, the spark-
ling streams, the snow peaks, com-
bine with the green pastures to give
a delightful variety of colors which
afford a striking contrast to the
uniform brown hue of the barren
Chilean Andes.
To get a fair vies of Cerro de
Pasco it is necessary to go to the
top of a high rock near the railway
station. The town, with its little
thatched houses and narrow streets
hes in a lat•ge undulating basin in
which the chief features are the
tall chimneys and other buildings
belonging to the mines. In the dis-
tance a Targe lake can be seen, and
all around the horizon is studded
with snowcapped heights.
At our feet is a busy scene. The
useful Indian is everywhere - now
driving herds of llamas, the univer-
sal mountain carrier. now riding
mules or driving carriages over the
undulating roads --and all his busi-
ness is a part 441 the great work of
extracting copper and silver from
the deep shafts. The rosy cheeks
4f the Indian children, whose heal-
thy color shines through their
brown akin, is an unusual sight in
sallow South America, for the cli-
mate is healthy and ins-igui'ating. Itt
the sinter there is n great deal of
rain and sleet, but the summer is
bright and crisp and all the year
round the temperature itt equable,
one of moderate cold in which the
thermometer seld:,m falls much bo -
low freezing point.
Everything at Cerro 41e Pasco is
"run" by the American. There is
a spacious club where lends are
played nightly, and in the hollow
below there is a base1,aIi ground.
Both these games are characteris-
tically American. they are played
at high pressure the whole time,
the biggest thatch can be played
in about one an41 a half hours. and
the players are near enough to the
spectators to hear the comments,
eneeuraging or otherwise, that are
ltherally bestosed. The hospital -
''.s of the Americans is unbounded
and the life is one of the utmost
good feeling and good fellowship.
The only drawback to the visitor's
enjoyment itt the soroche or moun-
tain sickness, which is almost eer-
:ain to attack a newcomer unless
1 e ascends by very gentle stages.
