Great Hardships of Trip --Incessant Battles With Ice, Storms and Head Winds -Point Made Within 203 Miles of Pole. New Yark, Nov. 5. -The United States now holds the record of "farthest north," 87 degrees 6 Minutes. This feat was accomplished by Commander Robert E. Peary, of the United States navy. The intrepid Arctic explorer failed to reach the north pole as ho had confident- ly hoped to do with his specially con structed vessel, the Roosevelt, but he penetrated nearer to the polo than the Duke of Abruzzi's expedition, which had held the Arctic record, 80 degrees 34 minutes. What Conunander Peady did and his experiences during the past year in the frozen north aro briefly but vivid- ly smnmarizecl in a communication re- ceived by Herbert L. Bridgeman, Secre- tary of the Peary Arctic Club. This communication follows: Hopedale, Labrador (via Twillingate, Newfoundland), Nov, 2. -To Herbert L. Bridgeman: Roosevelt wintered north coast Grantland, somewhat, north Alert winter quartets. Went north with sledges February, via Ileckla and Colum- bia..

Roosevelt magnificent ice -fighter and seaboat. No deaths or illness in expedition. (Signed) Peary. The Roosevelt. Mr. Bridgeman said that there was little doubt that Commander Peary was coming home. This stems to be borne out by the routing of the despatch. Hopedale or Hoffentbal is a Moravian mission station on the east coast of Labrador. Twillinga.te is a port on the east coast of Newfoundland. Mr. Bridgeman said' the message probably was mailed by Commander Peary from Hopedale to the most accessible cable point. Commander Peary's polar steamship, the Roosevelt, left New York on her long journey in search of the north polo July 10, 1005. The vessel for whied funds were furnished by the Peary Arc- tic Club of Now York, was designed par- ticularly for Arctic exploration. She cost about $100,000. The Roosevelt had a crew of twenty men and Captain Bart - let. The previous record for the point nearest tate polo was made by Captain Cagni, of the Duke of Abruzsi's Italian expeditions, who reached 06.34 north or within 237 statute miles of the pole. the point reached by Peary, 87.0 places hint about 203 miles from the pole.

STARTS GENERATOR. -- f ELECTRICAL DEVELOPMENT COM-' PANY'S PLANT. Everything Running as Smoothly as a Top- The Company Keeps Its Agreement With the Ontario Au - the -cities. Niagara falls, Nov. 4. ---+The Electrical De- 1 velopment Company of Ontario has made goad , its agreement with the Ontario Government and the Queen Victoria Niagara Fails Park commissioners to havo machinery running in its plant by November 19th. A unit of the power house equipment has been started and found to run perfectly. When the head - gate wait opened and tho water filled the long penstock the twelve thousand horse- power turbine wheel began to spin as smooth- ly as a top, and the biggest vertical electric generator ever started in tho world -was put in motion. The mammoth machinery ran as evenly, smoothly and quietly as a watch, and the assembled engineers and officials of the com- pany were delighted with the performance as well as rejoicing that the company had been able to carry out its obligations to the letter. The unit was run for some time as a test. and then shut down. One or more units will bo started in a tow days and run continuously, but no load will be put on them for some- time. In order to have the forebay filled with water to supply tho ,power house as soon as needed, water was admitted from the Dui - Perin Island channel, but the remeval of the cofferdam has progressed so far that the water now runs in from the river proper, London, Nov. 5. -Tito Times correspona dent at Pars cables as follows: General Picquart, Minister of War, has taken a decision which reveals the policy of the Clemeneeau Cabinet on the grave question of anti militarism. A few months ago the anti -patriotic campaign of the Socialist followers of M. Ilerve became so outrageous that even M. Jaures was forced to repudiate it. Re- cently when the French youths were call- ed out for service under the flag there was a revival of the efforts to inoculate them with the poison of Ilerveism. Cer- tain newspaper posters describer) the while military organization as a middle class invention, enslaving the people. Cases were mentioned, it wits set forth, wherein the duty of the soldiers was to fire on their chiefs. General Piequart has now taken action against the rnbid So- cialist paper, "Voice of the People." for provoking disobedience to the military chiefs and insulting the army. 1.I NEWFOUNDLAND'S STAND.

COMPLETE SET OF HIS ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS. Brought to the States by J. Pierpont Morgan -Cost $2oo,000-To be Pre- sented to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. New York, Nov. 5.-J. Pierpont Mor- gan imported yesterday what is said to be the most complete set in existence of the original manuscripts and private let- ters of Robert Burns, the Scotch poet, says the Tribune to -day. Mr. Morgan's agents have ben scouring Great Britain for the last lb years in order to' secure the documents. An expense of no less than $200,000, it is intimated, has been so incurred. The manuscripts are in two books of some hundreds pages apieces. They were nominally appraised by the United States customs authorities at $25,000 each and subjected to a duty of $20 p.c. ad valorem, so that the Mole gun customs brokers paid $10,000 duty. It is believed to bo the intention of Mr. Morgan to bequeath the Burns manu- scripts and letters to the Metropolitan Museum hn of Art. The value of his col- lections, other works uteluded, are said to bo nearly $15,000,000, but the heavy tariff has deterred him fro bringing them over. STATE IN FRANCE WILL PERMIT ALL, BUT FAVOR NONE. Will Be Neither Martyrdom Nor Per- secution -Catholics Will Simply Be Placed on an Equality With Citizens of Other Beliefs. Paris, Nov, 3. -Tito Minister of Public Instruction and Worship said in an 'au- thorized interview that the Government did not regard, the Catholic Church as being in revolt against the law providing for the separation of Church and State. Tho Catholic Church having simply de- clined to take advantage of its privilege under the law as the other religions did, on Dee. 11 would forfeit its $8,000,000 'worth of property, and thereafter would live toiler the common. law. 1 .iero would be neither martyrdom nor persecutions of the faithful. The Churches, as State and communal property, would remain open for Catholic worship. The object for which the Republican party in France had struggled for thirty years)` was Achieved. The concordat was at an end, the State would. no longer be a support to religion, and -priests would no longer enjoy privileges. In both their duties and obligations they would be on an equality with other. citizens. In other words, the State was neutral towards all religions, and would permit the exercise of all of them, with special favors to nope. -•--o+c.- TOOT( THE OATH.

Military Executions Going on. AU Over Russia, Scene Described by One of the Witnesses,, The wholesale military executions go - ins on all over ].tussis are productive of scenes which for terror and pathos sur- pass the novelists' wildest imagination. The features aro nearly always the same. The majority of the doomed men die quietly and penitently, Only the ringleaders, in most eases, /accost - citable revoluttonista, are defiant. It is the sheep like docility and penitence of the majority which give the execu- tions their most tragic features. The mutineers, though condemned to hanging, arc invariably shot, It is ire, possible to find a nangrnan in Russia, such is the hatred of capital punish- ment. 'J'!te two last military :hangmen committed suteido, and though Gen, Scallon of Warsaw offered $200 to any one tvho would hang two Jews con- victed of bomb -throwing, no ono ac- cepted. Even convicted murderers re- fuse to execute on behalf of the hated government. This is a picture of how the 'mutin- eers of the warship Pamiat Axova met their death. It was written by an of- ficer who witnessed the scene: "Into every convicted man's cell was carried a short coat of sail cloth. They were ordered to put these on; most begged to remain in their sailor's jack- ets but they were told that their sen- tence deprived then' of their rights as sailors, and that they must take off the naval uniform. Upon which they sub- mitted with sighs and dressed them- selves. "When the order was given to Bind their bands behind their backs again they begged to be let off, weeping at the indignity and swearing that they would make no resistance. But again learning that as hanging had been changed to shooting, it was necessary to tie their hands, they bowed their heals and submitted, asking only that their eyes should not he bound. With one man an incident of appalling horror occurred. Ile had been, it appeared, a member of a shooting party which had some months before executed the .Cron- stadt mutineers, and in a fit of religi- ous exaltation, he took it into bis heal that he was to be shot by the ghosts he had himself shot. He screamed, fought and bit, and then subsided into quiet- ude, begged piteously that he should he shot by ordinary men and not by spirits. We did what we could to calm him. "The men were lined up in the prison corridor and thence led through the castle yard to the place of execution. As they passed the sentries on guard, they cried: '.Farewell, and forgive us brothers; we go to die for our limey sins' Ono struck up a religious song, and the others joined in for a moment. Then all were silent. "On arriving at the place of execu- tion, they addressed the commanding officer with i request to be allowed to take leave of one another. This was granted, and each man having• kissed repeatedly all the others, they marched steadily to the end of the square, where a cable was atrstehcd between two posts. They begged not to be bound to this cable, saying they would stand still, but again they were told that this was (necessary in order to avoid unnecessary suffering. "Soon ail were bound and the shoot- ing party. which was chosen by lot, drew up in lino before thein. The priest went around with a cross, which all kissed. One of the condemned ealled an officer, and asked who would shoot him, as he. wished to Ieave his silver watch as proof that he, being deserving of death, bore no ill will against his exe- cutioner.

"The widow of one victim insisted on accompanying her husband's body, and as she threatened to kill herself if refused, she came on board the steamer, ell the time wailing so piteously that the b -:tial party lost thea nerve and threw one body overboard without sufficient shot., with the result that floated, wobbling hideously in the rough sea, and had to be taken on board again. , "And when the funeral was over, the court-martial resumed its session, and began the trial of ninety-four more sail- ors, all of whom are accused of capital offenses.
