Milwaukee, April 3. Dr. Gerhard A. Bailing, Republican, was alcctcd mayor of Milwaukee on a Fusion ticket, on which his associates were J. P. Carney and Louis M. Kotecki, for treasurer and city controller, respectively, both Democrats. This marks the downfall of Soe&ll8tn by the biggest vote ever cast in any election in Milwaukee. The Fusion ticket with eight aldermen-at-
large, and a majority of the ward al
dermen, is carried into office by a
majority over the Socialists of over
18,000. 'All the aldermen, like the candidate for the three city offices, are di
vided between the Republican!) and
the Democrats and each is pledged to take no part in a party campaign
while in office, thus marking the end of the national party as a factor in
a Milwaukee election.
The result follows the most violent
city campaign in Milwaukee history,
as evidenced by the fact that 80,000
votes were polled, out of a total registration of 90,000, and as compared
with 60,000 votes for the highest pre
vious record of any election.

save one pony which was suffering from the blizzard. On nearing Hut Point the others of the party encountered cracks in the ice which were working and enlarging. Hastily they marched south four miles. At half past four In the morning they found that the sea ice had broken all around and that the camp was moving under a heavy sea swell. One pony vanished in a crack from the line where they had been picketed. With infinite difficulty we dragged the ponies, jumping from floe to floe towards the barrier, but found that it was impossible to climb that ice wall. "The swell was churning up the ice and crushing the heaviest floes against the face of the barriers. One of the party eventually hoisted himself up the "barrier's surface by wedging his ski stick in a crack." Ponies Are Lost. After relating this remarkable ad
venture Captain Scott goes on to describe how he joined the party when
the drifting packs stopped temporarily and the men on it were rescued without difficulty by means of Alpine ropes. But three of the strongest surviving ponies were lost before the party was finally housed at Hut Point. He goes on: "On March 15 the geological party returned, bringing our number up to 16.

arrangements for the coming season
had been completed. The temperature
on the barrier had fallen to minus 40. Ice had again formed over the sea but strong winds drove it north. Huge land ice falls on the slopes of Mount Erebus prevented the possibility of returning to Cape Evans but. because the bays were freezing, I decided to reach that station over the sea ice. "With eight companions I started on April 11 and reached Cape Evans on April 13. All the news given me by the men I had left there was good except that we had lost the nine remaining ponies.1 The party then returned to Hut Point and decided to settle down there for the four winter months in the temperature of minus 50. Captain Scott's graphic recital continues: "Everyone was fully occupied with the duties of tho station, with gcien-
time and gave the ponies the benefit of the warmer day temperature. We followed the track of the motorä 00 miles, then found the machines abandoned on account of the heavy surfaces. I decided to march 15 jniles only every night and maintained this pace for eight nights, when we found the motor party which had gone before waitirg for us in latitude SO. They disabused my mind as to the cause of abandoning the motors. The only cause was the overheating of the air cooled engines.
"The machines dragged heavy loads
over the worst part of the barriers' surfaces and crossed several crevasses. Considering the inadequate
trial given to them their success has been remarkable. With the experience we have gained reliable traction cars could be constructed which could
travel anywhere in this region and thus save the sacrifice of so many animals.
"On December 10 we were In lati
tude S3.S7 south. As we proceeded
the weather grew worse. The snow storms were frequent. Land was rarely visible. It was difficult to keep
a straight course and maintain steady
marches. We came within twenty miles of Mount Hope on December 4, then we were delayed for four days by a gale during which we were occupied continually in digging the ponies out of the snow. To my knowledge no such long storm has ever been recorded in December iL these regions. We could not have advanced at all had not the leading pony worn snow shoes and been hauled along by men ou skis. It took 14 hours for us to do eight miles.

Washington, April 3.-Tho senate
and house gave a demonstration of rapid legislation, when they by unanimous vote passed a bill appropriating
$350,000 to be immediately available for the strengthening and tho extension of the levees along the Mississippi river. The senate broke ail precedents by passing the appropriation bill a few minutes after it had been reported to that body under suspension of the rules which require that all such measures bo referred to a committee. The ?350,000 appropriation will become available as soon as the president's signature Is affixed. In the house the bill was put on passage as soon as it was reported from the rivers and harbor committee. The committee acted immediately on receipt by the house of a message rrora President Taft urging an appropriation of $500,000 for the purpose. The entire delegation in congress from Louisiana had called on the president and pointed out the dangerous situation of the flood-swept valley of tho Mississippi and urged an appropria
tion. Money Is Sufficient Now. The appropriation of $350,000 instead of the amount asked for by the president, it was announced by Representative Ransdell, who reported the bill, was made after consultation with the war department and the receipt of private messages, which showed the sum appropriated would be sufficient for the present. President Taft urged the passage of the bill in a message to congress, it follows in part: "It seems proper that the government take immediate action to make the loss impending as little as possible. In view of the character of tho emergency and the safeguards surrounding the expenditures made under the corps of engineers, I have no hesitation in asking for an appropriation of $500,000, as recommended by the secretary of war." Thousands Are Homeless. Hickman, Ky., April 3. The Hood waters of the Mississippi river, which broke the West Hickman levee, have poured a muddy current eight feet
deep .through the business streets, tho factory and the tenement districts or the town. Two thousand persons are homeless. The work of systematically caring for the refugees was taken up and tents were shipped. in by the state military. Cairo People Flee. Cairo, 111., April 3. Cairo was thrown into a panic and a heavy exodus from the city started, following the receipt of advices from Washing ton that the river would reach 58 feet. Many women and children were put on trains and more prepared to leave. All the levees are still holding. The local weather bureau received word of the breaking of the levee at New Madrid, Mo. The break flooded about 100 square miles. This relieved conditions in Cairo somewhat and the city is now considered safe. New Record Stage at Memphis.
