2 SEARCH FOR LAND IN THE FAR NORTH Anglo-American Expedition Has Sailed for the Arctic From Victoria. MIKKELSEN IN COMMAND Tales of NatlTes and Flight of Birds ' Have Id to a Belief in the Existence of an Undis covered Country. VICTORIA. B. C, May 20 The Duch ess of Bedford, with the Anglo-American Arctic exploration expedition on board, called this evening for the Arctic, with the object of seeking a large stretch of undiscovered land believed to exist In the Beaufort Sea, northwest of the Alaskan coast, and, Incidentally, conduct geologi cal, geographical and ethnological and other scientific work. The expedition Is headed by Captain FJnar Mikkelsen. a Danish navigator. vho has been twice a member of Arctic expeditions, and Ernest DeK. .Lefnngwell, a Chicago geologist, who was In company with Mikkelsen, a member of the Baldwin expedition, and Includes EJnar Ditlevsen, a Danish artist, and Zoologist George Howe, of Harvard, and seven members of the navigating crew, a total of 11. Ernest Stefannsen. of Harvard, an ethnologist, has started for Herschel Isla.nd to meet the vessel at a rendezvous there Au gust 20. From Victoria the Duchess of Bedford will call to Kadiak. thence to Siberia, to secure 60 dogs, and will then enter the Arctic through Bchrlng Strait, skirting the shore to Banks Island, where a depot wll be made, from which various scientific expeditions will be taken over the Ice. In the Spring of 1907 Messrs. Mikkelsen and Lemngwell will leave to journey over the Ice in a northwesterly direction, taking provisions for 140 days, already prepared In compact soldered cases, with two dog teams, the Intention being to kill dogs for food of the others as the supplies de crease. This trip will be taken to make sound ings through Ice cracks, with the hope of locating the edge of the continental shelf and. the stretch of land, which, according to the theory of the explorers, lies to the northwest of Alaska in an expanse at present unknown. The explorers base their theory on the drift of the Jcannette and other vessels, the known flights of migratory birds, discoveries of Eskimo re mains and stories of natives who tell of land In the direction In which they Intend to explore. After they have started over the Ice Into the. unknown In the Spring of 1!0T, the Duchess of Bedford will return to Vic toria, bringing the results of the prelim inary scientific Work, and will then re turn north In charge of Dr. MacLaren. of Glasgow, to find Mikkelsen and Lef fingwell. When their search Is success ful or the decrease of their provisions makes It necessary, they will strike across the Ice towards Wrangel Island, or the North Siberian coast, where they expect to be picked up In- the Fall of 1907. If the land sought is discovered, a more complete expedition will be organised to make a thorough exploration. AUTO RUNS INTO POLE AVOMAX KILLED XEAK ERIE, PA., AXD THREE OTHERS HVRT.

For All who have followed the prof ret of Russia's struscle for govern mental reform this week will hold great Interest, as It is expected that the answer to the addresses adoDted by the new Parliament, In reply to the opeech from the throne, will be made today or tomorrow. Dispatches from St. Petersburg indicate that the Emperor does not consider the addre of the lower House as being an ulti matum, beyond the demand for am nesty, which will take first place in his reply. It is also evident that much disappointment is felt In Russia that the ETmperor did not make his birth day the occasion for granting am nesty. The other nine demands of the ad dress to the 'throne will be taken no In turn, but it does not appear, ac cording to advice from Russia, .that they will be considered as more than suggestion for the Emperor's consid eration.

BASE ON DANES ISLAND Ascension Will Be Made From the Very Point From Which the Ill-Fated Andre launched His Balloon. PARIS. May 20. The early departure of 'Walter Wellman. the American ex plorer, and his party for Spitzbergen, in accordance with his plan to endeavor to reach the north pole by means of a dirigible balloon, is attracting widespread attention among aeronauts and men of science. This attention has been increased by Mr. Wellman's announcement that he Intends to establish a base at Danes Is land, and begin his ascent on the very Bpot where Andre inflated his balloon. The first section of his party, under Major Herzy, will leave Paris in a few days, rendezvousing at Tromsoe until June 1 and then proceeding on the Arctic steamer Frithjof to Spitzbergen. where Major Herzy will direct the construction of a headquarters, machine shops, gas plant and balloonshed. The balloonshed will be the largest ever constructed, owing to the enormous dimensions of Mr. Wellman's dirigible machine. Major Herzy's advance party will con sist of Alexander Loewenthal. chemist and gaa engineer; Dr. W. N. Fowler, of Indiana, aurgeon; Felix Rlesenberg. as sistant navigator, and Francis H. Buzza cott, commissary. Mr. Wellman will fol low June 25 with the balloon and the re mainder of his party, consisting of Max well Smith, wireless telegraph expert, who will establish . wireless station at Spitzbergen: Gaston Hervieu. aeronaut, and John Colardo and two assistant aeronauts. The balloon is rapidly nearing comple tion, and Mr. Wellman and Constructor Goddard will soon invite aeronautic engineers to inspect the motors, screws and mechanical parts of the machine. It will be impossible to Inflate here, as there is no shed large enough to shelter such a monster airship. Major Herzy is making daily balloon ascensions and has had several dangerous experiences, his balloon once falling in the top of a tree, from which It was dislodged with difficulty. Professor Jannsn. professor of Meuden Observatory, who Is also familiar with aeronautics, after having examined Into Mr. Wellman's plans, said: "It is a practical project and you have a good chance to succeed." Andre visited Jannsen before his ill fated trip and Jannsen is said to have warned him that it was not exploration he was undertaking, but suicide.

Stearns, formerly president of the Pa cific Lumber & Furniture Company, said: "Smith should be punished. I tried to get the grand jury here to indict him. charging him with swindling. I only had 1100 worth of stock in the company, but was made Its president. I lost that. I think local people lost about MOO.000. I never Invested in any land In the north, and never knew that the company did." "I never knew anything about these land deals In Oregon until I saw the re ports In the paper, said Attorney W. D.

Every day mother and I quarreled about It. I couldn't mar ry Minnie, mother said, until I had her consent, because I was under age. "I told Minne, and she said: 'I wish you would kill me If you cannot marry me. for I can never go back home and face my folks.' Mother kept her way stubbornly.

VISIT OF BRITISH SQUADRON Looked Upon Generally as a Peaceful Overture to Russia. ST. PETERSBURG. May 21 The pa pers this morning are full of comment re garding the proposed visit of a British squadron to Cronstadt this Summer, most of them considering it an overture for an Anglo-Russian entente, though It Is also regarded as another step in Great Brit ain's altered naval strategy, which looks upon the Baltic and the North Seas as the most probable naval battlegrounds of the future. The Twentieth Century regards the prospects of an entente with approval, declaring that It would make for the world's peace by neutralizing the ambi tious diplomacy of Germany, facilitate In the solution of the Balkan question and give Russia time to recuperate without fear of foreign aggression. In this connection, rumors of the forth coming meeting between Emperor Will iam and. Emperor Nicholas are received with Interest. This is believed to be a ove on the part of the German Emperor to prevent a consummation of Great Britain's policy by bringing his personal influence to bear upon Emperor Nicholas.
