under data of March &, eppard In tha
Haattl Poat-Intaiildencer.: Three years
ago this spring Petr Wllborg left his

k4. Por naarly three years h workd
unceasingly in the gold rgion. Laat
Novemlnr he cam bark to the .itat on

left her on the steamer City of Topeka

While th etcame r waa lying at the
wharf he amu.nl nlniaelf by throwing
double handfuls of allvvr dollars at the
boys on th wharf. Every boy who
could hit the eccentric Alaxkan miner
with a anon ball would tt a handful of
coin throan at him in r.lurn. Wllborg
appeared to enjoy the sport, and of
courao th boya did. As th boat pulled
cut from the wharf he pelttl th? boy
with money as long as l.a waa within
throwing dlatanoa. During Wtlborg's
three years of exile his only companion
waa a dng. On hi return to day h tad
two dogs, which he will take to hla lonely
retreat In the far north. II expects to
remain another three year.
PROGRESS IS MADE

Hay la now In a critical condition. Laat j
Friday the e)cna agrexi io pui
their ded to that portion of their land
located north of the right of way. The
deed, have not yet been Wed. but they
no doubt will be today. The action on
th part of ln Welchea In whl.-h their
deeds aro rendered without consideration,
la worthy of all commendation and elim
inate one of i hi? principal obstacles In
the way of securing this tract. Th oth
r principal stumbling Mock la the Clat
sop Mill property, concerning which Mr.
V. 8. Kinney is quit firm In his de
mand of about tx. In caah. Aftsr
many conferences Saturday anl yester
day, th matter has almost been ar
ranged with this company, and It Is
hoped by all who are Interested In the
question. tht the negotiations will be
completed at once The committee In
charge of affairs should be consulted
this morning, and all deeds not yet filed
ought to be turned In. Prom Information
received late last night. It la very proba
ble that If this entire question la not
aettled by noon today. It will be useless
to longer consider th Brow ltay prop
raltion. Prom those who are In a posi
tion to know. It is asserted that Mr.
Hammond will not longer dally with the
matter, and th hard working committee
might a well abandon tha project. Mat
ters have now been held over several
days at the earnest request of those
rltlsens who are determined to secur
this site.
It can be stated almost positively that
If this matter Is not settled today, that
Mr. Hammond will retire from th field,
without making any decision at once,
and that so far as construction of the
line through the city and the erection of
a depot Is concerned, nothing will b
done for this summer, at least. Should
this be th- case. It will be a hard blow
lo Astorians, as It would probably carry
with It the cessation of any further
work on the line thla year beyond the
ten miles now undr construction, and
ihe Young's Bay bridge work. The
question now Is whether the cltlxens can
afford to see this slat of affairs or
whether It would not be better to do at
once what their good Judgment will lead
them to do ultimately.

Tha Republicans have aljty-alght mem
bers gad the Democrat sixty-seven, with
a probability of the support of two

nominee. Taking Into consideration tha
announced determination of the Repub
licans to force a vote In the bousa to
morrow oa Ihe Dunrap-KnufT-nan contest,
for th purpose of unseating Kauffnun
(Democrat), the key to the situation
seem to be the attitude Lieutenant
Governor Worthlngton, who presides at
Ihe Joint session, will take upon the
question of a quorum. If he holds to
the derision be la said to have announced
when a vacancy was caused by th death
of Representative Wilson, that seventy
shall constitute quorum of the Joint
session, the Republicans, even by seat
ing Dunlap, can count on only sixty
nine votes, and Ihe Democrats, with the
two Popullata. will have the aunt, ao
that either party may break th quorum
at will and prevent an election.
If he takes tha position that sine lb
death of Senator Welasinger. sixty-nine
members constitute a quorum, Ihe elec
tion of 8t. John hoyle, of Loulsvlll
can be accomplished by th Republicans
If they unseat Dunlap and give tha cau
cus nominee the whole party strength.
This session will expire before a suc
cessor to Wtlsslnger can be elected. It
Is almost certain that tomorrow a vote
will be taken In the Dunlap-Kauffman
rase, and that Kauffman, Democrat, will
b unseated.
The Republican assert the -lection of

CLEARED.
Soma Raon lor Believing First Reports
Confusion Caused by Two Names.
St. Petersburg. March 3 Major General
Svotlltsky, the governor of Irkutsk, tele
graphed here. In reply to queries regard
ing the reports as to Dr. Nansen's re
turn, that Teter Tvanwltck Kuchnareff,
who trades at Ust Yanxkor. under date
of November 10. wrMe to the merchant
KurhnareiT at Yakuask as follows:
"W learn that Dr. Nansen as reached
Ihe poK has discovered hitherto un
known land, and has now retumel Con
sequently th Arctic ocean has now been
explored."
Governor Srotlltsky adds that there Is
no continuation of this news from other
sources, but he has Instructed a mem
ber of his administration In the Verho
vansk district to proceed to Ust Tansk
to verify the news and to aid the ex
pedition, if necessary.
The above dispatch will serv to cUar
up several obscure points In the news
that first came of Dr. Nansen's return,
and goes Mr to corroborate the report.
The fact of thre having been two Kurh
nareiT s Involved In transmitting the first
report has led to some confusion and
skepticism as to th report having been
received from a really tillable source.
It was pointed out that if the report
came from the merchant KuchnarefT, In
Yakutsk, there would be no ground for
regarding It of special Importance, as he
would have no special facilities for get
ting the news at lirst hand of Dr. Nan
sen's return.
Rut the above dispatch asserts that the
news came to Kuchnareff. of Yakutsk,
from the trader, Peter Ivanowltch Kuch
nareff. Now Peter Ivanowltch Kuchnareff Is
the accredited agent of Dr. Nansen. and
has been entrusetd with a supply ot Ss
klmo dogs for his expedition. His trad
ing poet Is at Ust Yanskos In the Arctic
ocean, at the mouth of the Yana. river.
Just south of Liskov Islands, one of the
New Rlherlas, and leas than Mw miles
east of the Lna Delta.
Beyond the fact that the date of the
trader Kuch orefTs letter Is fixed at No.
vember 10 there Is llttl additional In
formation In the dispatch from the gov.
ernor of Irkutsk over that contained In
the dispatch bringing th first report on

Successfully Escapes With Much Arms
and Ammunition.
Tltusvllle. Fla., March 9,-Desplte the
precaution exercised by the United
States authorities, a large, well-equipped
filibustering expedition sailed from Cipe
Canaveral the other day for Cuba. Cape
Canaveral Is a lew miles souli of here
and Is an ideal place for the departure
of filibusters because of its loneliness.
The expedition did not originate at Cana
veral. Th men composing- It were
gathered at Key West and Tampa by
Gallaho, who has made repeated efforts
to get to Cuba. After Gallaho had se
cured his men they were takjn on board
a three-masted schooner at a point above
Key West. The schooner thin sailed
for Canaveral, wher arms and ammuni
tion were cached. Th vessel arrived off
Canaveral, ncd boats came ashore and
quickly transported the munitions to the
vessel. About nightfall the task was
completed and th schooner sailed .or
Cuba. There were over Its) men on the
schooner, some of whom wer Americana.
One was an ex-officlal of Key Weil
The vessel carried about 2,000 rifles and
tW.OUO cartridges, a lot of machetes and
som dynamite. It Is said the stores
wer Irft on Cape CanaverU some time
ago by tha steamer Three Friends, of
Jacksonville, according to p rearrange
ment with Cubans. The Three Friends
was owned by three arde-it Cuban sym
pathisers. The vessel left Jacksonville
ten days ago, ostensibly for Nassau.
She proceeded along the east coast and
lay to a night off Canaveral, and, it la
said, landed and concealed th arms.
The Three Friends then proceeded to
Key West, and her owners announced
that the Nassau trip vras abandoned.
At Key West the Cuban leaders were
Informed wher the arms were stored,
with the result that they were taken off.
and are now en route for Cub. Al
though Gallaho planned the expedition.
It is not known whether he accompanied
It. The government suspected some
thing, for last week customs offlclals
were combing the coast Finding noth
ing, however, suspicions wr allayed,
and the Cubans secured the arms and
got away unmolested. The Spanish min
ister at Washington some time ago com
plained that Ihe Three Friends was en
gaged In aiding the Cubans.
