C H W A T K A \S trip to KingWIlliain I .anti may have been wnntIng in some of tho picturesque ami marvelous features of those voyages ami sledge journeys which aim to solve the scientific ami geographic nt y s teriesof the frozen north or navigate the open polar sea. hut it Chtlctl all suspense as Hi the tragic fate of
his crew. It atltlnl to our life in the higher latitudes,
proved that civilized men tuny accustom their liotlit s to the intense cold of it winter along tlie seventieth parallel and their digestive powers to the food which the hardy natives use anil which the region produces generally in atnindance. Franklin was last heard from in 1NI5 in Hatlin's bay, moving westwaril, witli open witter to tho south of his course. At the end of two years an expedition set out from F.nglund for his relief, followed by otliers at intervals until 1H5H, when Mc<'Unlock found unmistakable evidences tlmt lioth of Franklin's ships had heen wrecked in tho vicinity of King William idintl, and that very many of the officers anti the crew had perished. But the skeletons reported by the natives as having heen seen and tho relies from the ships anti boats fount! by i McClintoek all appeared in the region Inhabited by tlio Kskimo tho year round, anti tho belief would not tlie out of inen’s minds that some of the party, perhaps the leatler among others, still lingered on tho shores of Halfin's hay or .Melville sound. Besides, King William Land, up to the Unto of Sellwnt ka's Search ill 1N7H, had never heen properly explored. McClintoek was on the island in May, a season when the surface lies hurled in snow anti ice. In ISTS anil again in 1N77 relies of the party hud been secured by whalers from fam- ! Hies of Kskimo met several hundred miles south of the scene of the reported disaster, anil these same people gave accounts of buried relics anil documents left by white men on King William island years before. The last of whalers to secure trustworthy data was Captain Barry, and his report led to the Seliwiitknexpetlition. The party left New York in June, 1H78, bound for Repulse hay, it point where the Kskimo hailing from King William Land had Item twice encountered. The leader, Lieutenant Frederick Sehwatka, was a PolishAmerican, an army officer somewhat dis- ! tinguishetl In tlie war as well as on the wild plains. Colonel W. H. Gilder, the second in command, htitl also been a sol dier. Henry Klutschok, the engineer of the expedition, had already made an arc tie trip, uml the guide, known as Kskimo Joe, was a native of tho north ami a trained explorer. The remaining mem iter of the original crew, Frank .Melius, had
served on an arctic whaler.
The military training of tho leaders gave the undertaking the character of a campaign anti perhaps insured the success achieved. There was to lie no turning aside for mere adventure, hut a patient, steady plodding on toward the goal, with no waste of time or energy. All would be needed in getting food anti in traversing the long, long ley road from Hudson buy
to tlie shores of Melville sound.
Tlie winter of 1878-11 the explorers passetl on the north shores of Hudson's hay, win re they landed in August anti es tablisht d t4 camp. Hogs and Kskimo drlvers and servants of 1 Kith sexes were added to the party there, and the explorers en- ; gaged in a severe course of training for the i hardships that awaited them by making | ( . long sledge journeys In the severest weath-Si-r J *t nnd by starving themselves to a point
been oApellctl from King A 1 ‘iam Land by enemies Oncold man and two approaching middle age rcmeinlicred to have seen white men on the shores of William Land and alsoa ship fast in the ice in the straits south of the island. Passing on. the expljrvrs reached Back river, previously known to white men. On tho last day of May an Eskimo camp was discovered, anti the natives proved to Is 1 the enemies of the tritie first met, and, for the timel>cing, the masters of King William Laud. They sent an ombassadress to meet the strangers, the warriors meanwhile standing in line of battle in front of their igloos, or lev huts. If the newcomers were enemies and killed a woman, the loss,would be slight compared to tbatof a fighting man When the signal sent back betokened is-acc, the warriors, with one exception, joined In a hearty wolrigne. The exception proved to lie a man who had lost a relative, and according to a superstition of the tribe the killing of a stranger would give happiness to the dead; hetire he was for fighting anyhow. Am nigtiie niembersof thlstribeaminc of recollections could be clearly traced. One old woman remembered having seen white men in boats and tents and recalled names which the Interpreters declared answered to some of Franklin's people. She said that tlie xv bites and her people ts'came separated one summer by the rotting of the lee, and afterward the empty tents were found with dead bodies in anti around them. Site tlescrined knives, Epoons, watches ami clothing in a way to leave no doubt but tlie unfortunates ticlungcd to Franklin's crew s. After scurcliing Adelaide peninsula and the shores of Washington luiy, where tho ships hud lieen seen, without result, Sehwatka crossed Simpson straits to King William Emil Owing to the melting lieat of summer, traveling was exceedingly difficult. Tlie snow became minced to slush during the daytime, nnd ice melted upon the lakes sn that Hit* surface was covered with several inchckof water. Occasional-

^ - >r . y PKACE tilt WABf when* the fotwl supply of the n*gitin could he eaten without distress. This food eon sists of frozen fish nnd meat. One of its peeuliarliies, and the pleasantest of all, is that it fortifies the body against cold—in fact, generates internal heat. After eight months passed In “seasoning,the party set out northward on the longest sledge journey known up to that date. The outfit comprised three sledges drawn by -IJ tings. The natives, aside from Joe, numbered 13, ImTiuling two children. Tho sledges were not loaded down with food for man and boast, as hud been tlie ease on previous expeditions of tho kind, hut with guns nnd ammunition for hunting as well us fur barter and wit It of her art loles nil null*. Only one month’s pru\ ision.t hail I teen gathered fur** t rip that was dtstinrd In last nearly a year, for Hehwatkii remembered one good lesson from his army life and resolved to live olT flu* country or perish in tho attempt. He proved in ail respeets tut able commander and an ingt nions explorer. The interpreter Jot* spoke t he dialects of many tribes. The chief guide and hunter, Toolooah, proved a master with the dogs and a mighty Xlmrotl at tho chase. Armed with a rcycatiug carbine, he often hruught down half a dozen of the licet reindeer before they could get beyond range after the alarm of t ho first shot. Two or throe hunters would kill a dozen out of a single herd. Another expedient saved the party from the unwelcome prosenceof the wolves. Hy burning Ctistoll signals those ravenous animals could Is* scared from tlie vicinity of the camps. A trick learned of the native-, and successfully practiced was that of shoeing tin* sledge runners with iee. The route at first lay over hills, which In May liccaine almost entirely bare of snow, and travel was very difficult. Igiter they struck the course* of a river running northward ami followed It 110 miles. Along the river they fell in with a party of Kskimo belonging to a tribe that had
TOOLOOAH. ly the men would wnk to the waist In «lts*p holes, the dogs floundered In slush and deep water, and tho sledges disappeared between the hummocks of snow and iee Fortunately Toolooah brought down game sufficient for all tho explorers and natives as well as the dogs, although the other hunters hod no luck at the chase. On the northwestern shore of the island the white men of tlie party spread out to make a thorough search of the coast ad joining the waters where the Krebus and Terror hail been seen by the natives. This was the first exploration ever made when the ground was hare. First two graves were discovered with some scattered bones, linnilstakably those of white men. Near by a later search unearthed the camp of Captain ('ritzier, successor to Franklin on his death in 1847. The well known paraphernalia of an exploring rump was found in abundance — stores, clothing, blankets and implements nnd utensils of copper, brass and iron. But the most important find was an open grave, containing parts of a skeleton and it prize medal from tlie Boytd Naval college, awarded to John Irving. Irving was tlie third officer of tho Terror. The remains were gathered together and ultimately sent to Knglund for burial, the only ashes of the lost explorers ever returned to their native soil. Continuing the search along the western coast of King \\ illiam Land, numberless gravi s were funnd with relics to identify them, nml their places were marked with monuments of stone. Tho return journey across the island bad lobe prosecuted over Imre ground. The men bore all the luggage upon their backs, for the dogs could scarcely draw the empty sledges. Before starting for Hudson bay cold weather and the long winter night hod come on, and tlie homeward march was the worst— in fact, a constant struggle for life. Tho explorers could not leave King William Ijind until the iee bridge over Simpson straits had formed strong enough to hold them. That was in November. Themonth of Deeembor passed in the journey along Back river and in taking supplies of salmon for subsistence. The overland march between Hack river and Hudson bay commenced Jan. 1, 1880. The worst storms anil roll! of tin*whole trip wore encountered during tho two months following. The thermometer averaged 63 degrees below zero and reach 1*1! 70 nt times. One storm of 13 days’duration hindered the march, and 1)tiring February tho party traveled but 13 days in all. During this time men and animals lived upon frozen fish, which soon ran low, and Hit* horrors of a famine bung over them. Reindeer in plenty could be seen on distant hills, but tho liuntt rs who ventured out were driven hark hy wolves, the new terror of the daring explorers. These ravenous lioasts sometimes attacked tlie camp, and one night killed and devoured four of the sledge dogs Toolooah alone was a match for them. On one occasion while hunting for reindeer a pack of 20 xvoives attacked him atonic. Mminting a rock, he fought them otT with his eluhhed gun until he saw n fimnee to reverse it and mokeudend shot. While tlie Itcnsts quarreled over tho carcass nt thclirst one slain he shot down more of them and made the best of bis opportunity to escape. On reaching Hudson bay in March, 1880, after an absence of 11 months, Sehwatka found to his dismay that the stores of food prom ised him from home had not arrived. The natives could supply only a small quantity of seal and walrus meat, and the explorers were reduced to the chewing of walrus skins for nourishment. At the end of the summer they were taken up by a whaler and brought to tho homo port. A strange circumstance connected with this expedition is tho foot tlmt while tlie travelers were crossing tho hills ItctWcon Back river and Hudson bay during January and February, 1880, with tho temperature 100 degrees below the freezing point, yet not suffering so as to delay tho inarch, natives und hardy whalers wintering hundreds of miles outh of them, and well sheltcrc.l and well fed, were perishing from cold.

Hon. David B. Hill. United States Senator, Washington: Peak Sir—At a meeting of New York merchants last March you are reported as saying, “I ant in favor of a tariff high enough to enable Ajuerican manufacturers to compete with foreigners as far as the difference in wages is concerned." Now, as the cost of any commodity consists mostly of labor, a tariff to cover the actual difference in the cost of production—and which undoubtedly you intended—is all that any American protectionist ever asked or desired. But all true and loyal Americans favor a tariff only that deals out justice to every enterprise, wherever located within our country. Aside from the injustice and selfishness of local protection, it is financially tinwise, for no portion of the country can lie injured without its being felt to a greater or less degree by the entire nation, and tlie converse of this is equally true. Mr. Cleveland's agonizing desire, proclaimed by himself without considering its impossibility under our high rate of wages, is to reach out for tlie “great rich, broad markets of the world.” Headvised, in one of hi messages to congress, the American manufacturers and farmers to turn front our "narrow” home market to the broader markets of tlie world. He 1 also seemed totally oblivious of the facts, as derived from statistics, that this "narrow” market of ours is or was, until lie upset it. the most prosperous, the wealthiest, the broadest and the largest in the world. v He seemed to be ignorant of the fact that we cont-ame 20 per cent of till tlu sugar produced in the world, 30 percent of all the coffee, 33 ]ier cent of the copper, 33 per cent of the lead, 35 per cent of the cotton, 83 per cent of the rubber. 40 per cent ot the coal and 50 per cent of the tin used iu the entire world; that i our railways and canals, until his baneful advent, carried over them us much or more traffic than any three of the nations of Europe combined. And this is the ••narrow” market our great president and the Democratic party advise the Amcrii' .n jieople to forsake anti vainly contend for the “broad, rich markets of the world,” only a portion of which we could ever hope to gain and never could gain until we reduced out wages to the level of or lower than the rate paid hy our foreign competitors. But would it be wise to reduce the rate jf wages, and as a consequence tin* purchasing ]. iwer of the iieople, causing thereby a contraction in tlie volume of traffic with all its attendant evils? At whose expense would such a policy be? Obviously, as iu Europe, at the expense j of the workingman mostly. Not materially the capitalist, who, in any event, will not risk Ins capital unless he can realize a profit, which is and must be regulated by the wages paid and by open competition. You say you are in favor of a tariff for protection “high enough to enable American manufacturers to compete with foreigners as far as the difference iu wages is concerned.” Then as regards England the tariff should be as high as 77 iier cent, which Mr. Harris and Mr. ! Carlisle in thwr report to the senate said was ihe difference between English wages and American, ours being 71 per cent greater. It is true that an average tariff rate of 77 per cent would effectually prevent J importation, but it is equally true that it would not for any length of time itt- | crease the price of a single commodity, notwithstanding ti|e assertion of Mr. Cleveland to the contrary, and for two substantial reasons—first, because home competition would, as it lias always done and will, regulate prices; second, the less we import the greater we will manufacture. Tlie cost of manufacture decreases as the volume of manufacture is increased, thereby enabling the manufacturer to lower the price of his commodity. These are the chief factors that enter into every industrial enterprise, and clearly account for the invariable decline in prices under the protective) policy. It was tin* object of the framers of the present law, as was generally supposed, to so regulate the tariff as to make it “high enough to enable tlie American manufacturers to compete with foreigners its far as the difference in wages is concerned.” The interesting question is, Did they make it high enough to cover the difference as far as wages are concerned? The true answer to that question is in the fact that even under this tariff—denounced by the ignorant as robbery and as uncon stiiutiouai—the foreigner was enabled up fo June 30, 1803, as statistics show, to rush into our market annually competitive commodities to the vast amount of about $100.000,000, and yet the present is denounced as a high tariff and a robbery. Who is robbed? Tho workingman, if anybody is, of the employment that that vast importation would give him and our country of the wealth arising therefrom if manufactured in America. Tlie position you have taken regarding this question as reported, and particularly tis regards the income tax, must meet with the approval of every man who is possessed of sound reasoning power regardless of party affiliations. The people xx ill owe a debt of gratitude to the man who can claim that he defeated such a measure as the Wilson bill, which undoubtedly would bring upon the country disaster and ruin. Very truly y >urs, W. S. Manning.

SWARMING OF BEES.
The Catifte* r»f Swarming; and Its DpHirability Mimagemrnt During Swarming. At a beekeepers’ convention, reported by The American Bee Journal, the leading topic was swarming. The causes ol swarming as given at this convention art* overcrowding and heat. It was stated that if the impulse to swarm is caused by extreme heat, as where tho hive is exposed to the direct rays of tlie sun, shading the hive will often control the swanning fever. Is swarming desirable? is a question not yet solved. The convention was considerably divided upon it, but it was concluded that where increase of colonies is desired it is well to allow them l to swarm to a limited extent, hut if ! honey he the principal object swarming should lie limited as far a« possible. The conclusion arrived at concerning tho important subject of management during swarming appeared to be about us follows: Tho beekeeper should have suitable appliances, hives (movable comb hives, of course), tho frames filled with foundation if ho has no empty combs. When the swarm issues and has clustered, the ; old hive should ho placed on a new stand, and a new hive on the old stand, filled with combs or foundation. Then catch tho swarm in a suitable swarm catcher and empty them upon a cloth ; in front of tho new hive on the old stand. They will rush in and sot to work With new energy and not know they uro doing business at the old ; stand. The old hive with its brood and honey will soon have a young queen and in a short time lie as populous as over. It should be watched and queen cells removed, lest it cast a second swarm. A member who had been quite successful gives his plan of managing 1 swarms: Ho clips tho wings of all his queens early in the season and knows, if ho finds a queen undipped, that sho was hatched last year. When a swarm issues, ho catches (ho queen and places her iu a now hive filled with empty com Its on the old stand and puts the old hive on a new stand beside tho old stand, with the entrance turned at right angl s from the new hive. Of course tho hues, not finding their queen with I them, 'return to the new hive on tho old stand, and finding the queen and plenty of room go to work. Each day he moves (he old hive a few inches around until in a few days the entrances are side by side. Then he mover, the old hive to a new stand. By this man:.„i ..lent he strengthens the now i eolony, as many of tho bees in the old hive go into the new hive with the old queen.
Merchants who have tried it say it’s the best advertising medium in the city. That’s another surprise, but the advertisers will testifv to the fact.
