The players of the New York foot ball team reported for duty Saturday. The league championship season will begin on October 1, and ciubs have been organized in New York, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington. The players will report for work every morning at 10 o'clock, and after two hours’ work they can return to their homes for luncheon, getting back at 3 o’clock and put- ting in two more hours of solid work. The Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Wash- ington teams have been fully made up, and work in those cities will be begun at once. Baltimore and Boston will not be far be- hind. The games will be played under as- sociation rules, the sort of foot ball now so popular in England. It differs from the college game in that it furnishes more open play and more kicking, as the players can- not touch the ball with their hands. The Boston Foot Ball Club of the Profes- sional League has secured two players from Manchester, Eugland—Joseph Ellisham, a back, and Leonard Ellisham, a wing player. The latter has captained the Swifts, one of the crack young teams of Manchester. Both are young men. Sporting Notes. The championship wing-shot match be- tween Dr. Wm. F. Carver and J. A. R.

RETURN OF #18 WIFE AND CHILD Was Unable to Reach Independ- ence Bay. PREVENTED BY BAD WEATHER —— As announced in ¢he dispatches to Tne Star Saturday, the steam sealer Falcon ar- rived at St. John’s, N. F., that afternoon, having oa board Lieut. R. E. Peary’s arctic expedition, and also the auxiliary party which went north to bring the explorer home. All are well. Lieut. Peary and two volunteers, Hugh Johnson Le2 of Con- necticut and Matthew Henson, Peary’s col- ored servant, have remained at Anniver- sary Lodg’, in Falcon harbor, North Green- land, to make another attempt to complete Peary’s work. Owing to insurmountable difficulties, he was u.able to carry out his plans last spring. The Falcon, which left Falcon harbor on August 28, brought the following dispatch, which Lieut. Peary pre- pared for the New York Sun: Peary's Letter. “I was unable to carry out my plan last spring to reach Indeperdence Bay, on the northeast coast of Greenland, on account of the terrible weather which set in after we had started on our jorrmey. As I had planned, I mgde a very early start. We set out from Anniversary Lodge on March 6. The winter night was at an end, and | the sun had risen above the horizon about two weeks before. The party comprised eight men—Astrup, who was my companion on the journey to the northeast. coast in 1892, and Messrs. Entrikin, Lee, Baldwin, Vincent, Davidson and Clark. We had ninety dogs and twelve sledges. Five na- tives assisted us during the first two days of the march. “Our intention was to make straight over the inland ice for Independence Bay, about 650 miles away. Our course was to be about midway between my outward and homeward track in 1892. Eight days after we started Lee and Astrup were compelled to return to our winter quarters. Lee had a frozen toe that rendered it impossible for him to go on with us. Astrup was ill and unfit for further marching. We were there- fore crippled from the start, for we needed all hands if we reached the north coast in order to carry out my plan of dividing the expedition into three parties, each to un- dertake @ certain part of the work. A Terrible Storm. “For the next six days, to March 20, we made slow progress, and on that day we were compelled to go into camp after mak- ing three miles. We could make no pro- gress against the furious head wind. The temperature was 35 degrees below zero. Entrikin, Balawin and I occupied one hut, and Vincent, Clark and Davidson were in the other. Here we were imprisoned by the blinding storm for three days. On the 22d instant, two days after we went into camp, Vincent, Clark and Davidson were com- pelled to retreat to our tent to escape smothering. Davidson and Clark were con- siderably frostbitten. “The storm subsided on the 23d instant, and we had sur first opportunity to Inspect the condition of the camp. We dug the dogs out of the snow that buried them. They were in a most pitiable condition. Some were dead and frozen solid under the snow. Many wece frozen fast to the ice, and we had to chop them loose. The ane- mometer showed that the average wind ve- locity for thirty-four hours was forty-eight miles an hour. The thermograph showed that the average temperature had been 50 But two vacant | pews were to be disposed of, and they | degrees below zero. The lowest tempera- ture during the storm was 60 degrees below sero. We were encamped on the ice cap, 5,000 feet above the sea. I believe that this was the severest storm ever experienced by an arctic party on a sledge journey. “Davidson's frost bites made it necessary for him to seturn to Anniversary Lodge. Clark desired to continue with us. David- son could not return to the winter camp alone, and so Dr. Vincent was detailed to go with him. They left us on March 24, and then our’ party was reduced to four men. The March Resamed. “We resumed the march. On the 28th instant, in a furious gale of wind, and with the snow drifting badly, Entrikin repaired a sledge, and while at this work he froze his feet badly. Stili I determined to keep on, and we strugg:ea ahead, fighting wind and weather as best we could until April 10. The dogs suftered greatly. They could not rally from the effects of the terrible equinoctial storm through which we had passed. Deaths occurrel among them every day. To our dismay we found that the piblockto, cr Greenland dog disease, which for many years has from time to time made great ravages among the native dog teams, had gained a firm: foothold among our animals. We faced the proba- bility that we would soon have no dogs to draw our sledges. Compelled to Turn Back. “The facts that my dogs were being ex- terminated, that we were still less than one-fourth the distance on our way, and that the seascn was getting late, decided me to return to our winter quarters and to save what provisiors, aleohol, and so on I could for another trial on the inland ice next spring. At our halting place, 125 miles on our journey, I cached a good quantity of supplies, and erected a prominent signal that will enable me to identify the spot rext spring. Then we began the retreat under much difficulty. “Entrikin’s feet were now swollen and painful, and he was unable to waik. The dogs were dying every day. Clark and I were affected to some extent by snow blind- ness. The best day’s march we had made to the north was eighteen miles, and we had to take a slower pace home. We reached Anniversary Lodge on April 20. The Survey of Melville Bay. “Then we tried to do what work we could in the south. As early as possible after his return to winter quarters Astrup set out for Cape York, 150 miles to the south, and he was fortunate in being able, early in May, to complete the survey of the north- ern coast of Melville bay. Most of the shore line of this bay, as is well known, had not been determined by earlier explor- ers. Finding Ross’ Iron Mountains. “On May 16 I set out with Lee in search of Ross’ iron mountains, near Cape York. After a journey of three weeks, during which the weather was incessantly stormy, we returned, having found the famous stones, which I photographed and measured, I built a cairn and deposited the record of the first white man who had looked upon them. When the Falcon took my party on board to return south I accompanied her to Cape York and hoped to send one of the meteorites home by her, but the ice prevented the ship from making land. I hope I may have better success next season. “Early last fall we carried supplies up on the ice cap for the spring sledging cam- paign. We were essisted in this work by the natives and the burros or Mexican donkeys that I had taken north. We were, however, able to carry the supplies only twenty-six miles inland, A Big Tidal Wave. “On October 31 we met with quite a dis- aster. A tidal wave swept up Bowdoin bay and washed up high on the beach where our house had been built. My steam launch, Gen. Wistar, was stove in. ‘The whaleboat Faith,which had been part of my equipment on my expedition of 1891-2, was wrecked. My dories were also destroyed. All the bar- rels of kerosene had been scattered along the shore at some distance from one an- other, They were all swept into the sea and only one-half of them were recovered. It was thus inipossible to make use of the electric Nght plant during the winter. “We occupied the winter in making prep- aration for the noPthern sledge trip. The manufacture of sledges was one of our chief occupations. We made sledge jour- neys by moonlight to.secure food for our number of dogs, @pd about 700 miles were thus covered. My @urros did not live through the winter, proved to be of little use. The carrier pigeons were de- stroyed by hawks and Eskimo dogs. “The spring and summer before the Fal- con came to take us home were devoted to surveying the neigh! bays and hunt- ing deer. Two hundred Jind fitty deer were killed by the party. Auxiliary party on the Falcon was erie by heavy ice from opening up com: tion with me until August 1, and the*Falcon was not able to push her way th the ice up Bowdoin bay and reach Lodge until August 20. The Lost Swedish Explorers. “The auxiliary party mad trip to Elles- mere Land and search “the Carey Islands for traces of the lost Swedish explorers Bjorling and Kalstenius. ey found rome relics of them and the skeleton of a man on the Carey Islands, probably a sailor. They found no trace of the lost explorers at Cape Faraday or Clarence Head on Ellesmere Land, where it was hoped by the friends of the explorers that they had taken refuge. Jones sound, south of Ellesmere Land, was blocked with ice, and it was im- Possible to push into it, so no explorations could be made in that direction. “Mrs. will return home with a daughter, aged one year, and accompanied by an Eskimo nurse from Bowdoin bay. “I shall make arother attempt on the ice cap next spring. I shall utilize the Eski- mos as a supporting party. They have done me good service throughout my sojourn in northwest Greenland, and I believe I will find them effective helpers on the inland ice. I have ample supplies of all sorts, in- cluding plenty of coal for the winter. All the party are in good health. “Tam now, on August 29, about to leave the Falcon off Petowick glacier, a little north of Cape York. The Falcon will pro- ceed home and I shall return in a whale- boat with Matt Henson and my Eskimo crew to Anniversary Lodge. - “R. E. PEARY.” The Relief Expedition. Communication with Peary was not open- ed up until August 1, and Falcon harbor was not reached by the relief expeditioa until the 20th. The Carey Islands, Cape Faraday and Clarence Head were thor- oughly searched, and the death of the Swedish explorers, Bjorling and Kalsteaius, is settléd. Relics were brought from Carey Island, and a skeleton supposed to be that of a saflor was properly interred. Dr. Ohlin, the Swedish representative with the auxil- jary expedition, returns direct from Disco to Copenhagen. The ice also prevented the proppsed ex- plorations on Ellesmere Land, but the aux- illary party gathered much valuable scien- tific data, made a careful study of many important glaciers and obtained much new and valuable material in arctic deep sea dredging. Lieut. Peary and Lee were the first white men to see, locate and measure the me- teorites near Cape York, some of which they will bring home next year. Mr. En- trikin and Dr. Vincent made a sledge jour- ney to Littleton Island, and would have reached Kane's headquarters but for open water. Lieut. and Mrs. Peary made a sledge journey to Olriks bay, on the south side of Inglefieid gulf. Miss Ahnigito Peary, who Was one year old last Wednesday, with an Eskimo nurse, returned with the party. Lieut. Peary accompanied, the Falcon on her return as far as Cape York, hoping to send home a meteorite} bit the ice made this impossible. He left, the ship on Tues- day morning, August Petowik gla- cler, thirty-five miles of Cape York, in an open whaleboat with Henson and a crew of five natives, bowhd for Falcon har- bor, 150 miles distant.’ ad been in charge at the camp durijig his absence, When last seen the boat.was standing on her course under full sai with a fair wind.

Russell Sage and ‘he executors of the es- tate of Jay Gould, as trustees for the con- solidated mortgage bonds of the Kansas Pacific Railway Company, have been sued in the United States circuit court of New York for an accounting of $11,000,000 worth of these bonds. Several months ago a suit of a similar rature was brought by John Quincy Adams of Boston, who has since died, thus in- validating the suit. In the present action the Soldiers’ Orphan Home of St. Louis ap- pears as complainant. The sult is really brought at the instance of a committee of bondholders, consisting of Silas B, Dutcher, president of the Hamilton Trust Company; Henry M. Whitney of Kissam, Whitney & Co.; Otto T. Bannard, president of the Con- tinental Trust Company; ex-Controller Myers, and William A. Nash, president of the Corn Exchange Bank. Charles P. Daly and L. J. Morrison are counsel to the com- mittee. The complaint asks that Russell Sage and George J. Gould be removed from the trus- teeship, that they be enjoined from inter- fering with the trust assets and that a re- ceiver be appointed. It is set forth that in May, 1879, the Kan- sas Pacific Railway Company executed a deed of trust to Jay Goud and Russell Sage, as trustees, to secure Kansas Pacific consolidated bonds, and as a part of the collateral security conygyed in trust to Gould and Sage 30,000 shares of the capital stock of the Denver Havific Railway and Telegraph Company. 4) come direct charges of fraud. The laint goes on: “And now your oratoy ghows that the said Jay Gould and Russel{Bage were false and faithless to their trust, and conceived the scheme of taking: ¢o/themselves the Denver Pacific trust ‘4 and appropri- ating it to themselves.; They did, in fact, abstract the trust property, and to cover the abstraction with some/show of author- ity employed certain warthiess dev.ces. “They brought a purély* fictitious suit, brought in the name of’ thé" Kansas Pacific Railway Company, con:t, by themse:ves, against themselves alaneu The form of complaint alleges no mote in substance than that the Denver Pacific stock was of but little value, but that ’th# Kansas Pacific Company would like to have it. “On such al:egaticns, and within seven days, they obtained a saper signed a then incumbent of a New York justiceship, perporting to allow the mortgage company to take the property of the bondholders. Thereupon the trust stock was passed through the mortgagor company to Jay Gould and Russell Sage, and it or its pro- ceeds were taken by Gould and Sage and have since been retained as a part of their individual estates.” The compiaint declares that these devices are null and vold and give no color of legality to the acts of spoliation committed by Trustees Gould and Sage, and, further, that they are accountable for the trust property and its proceeds, in all exceeding a sum of $11,000,000, ‘The interest upon tae Kansas Pacific consolidated bonds was paid up to November 1, 1593. The company is now in default on the coupon due May 1 last. eb eee > Frank Erne, the champion’ lightweight of western New York. is hard in training for his ten-round go with Solly Smith on October 2 BRECKINRIDGE BEATEN Owens Wins in the Kentucky Democratic Primari Desha Breckinridge Last Night C1 ed His Father's Success—Vanq ed Generally Have Given It Up. Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge was defeated for the democratic nomination for Con- gress in the primaries of the Ashland, Ky., district on Saturday. His defeat was in- dicated by the dispatches printed in The Star, showing that Owens was running away from his rival. The best’ figures ob- tainable last night gave totals for candi- dates as follows: Owens, 7,900; Breckin- ridge, 7,670; Settle, 3,405; Owens’ plurality, 820. Corrected returns, which are expected today, will probably vary but little from these figures. Many Breckinridge men were reluctant yesterday, at Frankfort, to acknowledge their defeat Some of them were still claiming the nomination of Col. Breckin- ridge by a small majority. They based their hopes of contesting the election on the fact that the Owen county vote feil off 500 from last fall. Chairman Gaines of the Breckinridge committee went to Lex- ington last night to consult with party jeaders there. Owens men claim the nomi- nation by 241 votes. The official count will be held today, and as a majority of the elections commit- tee favors Breckinridge, it was expected that advantage would be taken of every ccntested vote to seat the colonel. Bishop Duncan, in a prayer before the Methodist conference et Frankfort yesterday, thank- ed God that the right had been upheld in putting down bad men who aspired to pub- lie office. ‘The Breckinridge managers from all parts of the district were in close consultation at Franktort all day. They figured Owens’ plurality at 169, against the 410 plurality claimed by Owens men. Dr. R. L. Moho- ney, a Breckinridge detective, was sent to Henry county to see if he could not find grounds for charges of fraud against the officers of one precinct in the county which gave Owens an overwhelming majority, and thereby throw the Owens vote out. M. A. Cassidy, anothe> detective employed is in Owen by the Breckinridge forces, county on a similar mission. Breckinridge leaders claim that in Scott county Owens received many fraudulent votes, as 60 more democrats voted in the county than at the At 10 o'clock last night Desha Breckin- ridge said, at Lexington, he was confident of his father’s election. Said he: “I cannot give out a statement by counties, but our latest reports reduce Owens’ plurality to 141. Lam sure that the count will be given us by the district committee when it meets. If it does not I am not prepared to say what will follow, maybe a contest.” At Midway Bert Hammond came and con- fessed to the judges that he had cast an il- legal vote and asked that one less vote be ecunted for Owens. The judges refused to do this, and Hammond was summoned to appear in court today. The vanquished generally are accepting defeat. One notable indication was the doffing of Breckinridge badges and donning Owens badges by the most ardent young bloods who suppcrted Breckinridge through out the campaign with their money and their personal services. These men say that they went to election Saturday believing that every voter et the primaries was morally bound to support the nominee. Now that their favorite, for whom they fought so valiantly, seems to have suffered defeat, they feel in honor bound to support his op- ponent. They seem to acquiesce in the in- evitable. ‘was a report yesterday afternoon that Owens, Settle and Breckinridge would each issue a card to the public stating his case. This was on the theory that Breckin- a about to contest the elec:ion. ugh investigation last night failed to find a shadow of ground for the rumor. Everybody was thoroughly tired of the task that terminated in the primaries. ‘fo contest the election would be to prolong the struggl What Beat Breckinridge. A strong Breckinridge man, cashier in one of the banks at Frankfort, attributed the defeat of his candidate to the opposition of Judge Morton and Professor McGarvey of the Christian Church. He said: “The Christian Church has a very strong following here, and while ordinarily we should have thrown 1,000 plurality to Ereckinridge, we carried Fayette county by only 251 votes.” Col. John Allen, county attorney, one of Breckinridge’s incessant supporters, says that he intends to support Owens, and, in fact, is wearing an Owens badge. Poyatz Nelson of the state committee, a very close friend to Breckinridge, said that he did not believe any of the rumors that Breckinridge would contest. The committee will meet in Frankfort, he said, to canvass the vote, and if anything strange is discoveted, it will be righted there. What Phil Thompson Says. Col. Breckinridge’s defeat was a severe disappointmcnt to Col. Phil. Thompson, who was one of the counsel for the Kentuckian in the suit brought by Miss Pollard. “Do you think this means the end of the col- onel's political career?” he was asked. “It looks as if it might be, at least in Ken- tucky. But he gave his opponent a game fight. He had the praying women and the machine against him, and yet he was beaten by only a few hundred votes.” Where Breckinridge Miscalcalated. “I am disappointed in Fayette county,” sald Col.

Mr. Walter Wellman, leader of the recent Spitzbergen expedition, will sail from Southampton for New York on Wednesday next by the steamer Spree. He will be ac- companied by the American members of his party. In the course of an interview in London yesterday Mr, Wellman said that the fail- ure of Lieut. Peary to reach North Green- land shows tha:, like the Wellman expedi- tion, he n et with unusual d.fficulties arising from th extre rely unfavorable season. Altogether, Mr. Wellman declared it had been a bad year for arctic exploration. He warmly defended his against the ‘ges xperience and bad outfit. He especially protested that he had nor abandoned Prof. Oyen on Danes Island. The professor, he added, had 1,200 pounds of provisions on the island, and was therefore in no danger whatever of suffer- ing for lack of food. Prof. Oyen himself had publicly absolved him from the charge of abandonment. In conclusion, Mr. Wellman stated that all the Norwegian members of the expedi- tion had promised to accompany the next expedition. As to Messrs. French, Mohun and Dodge, truer, braver or better men could not be found. eee THE REVIVAL OF BUSINESS. A Henvy Cotton Crop Predicted for the South, From the New York ‘Times. A gentleman who has just returned from a visit to the south, and whose opinions are accepted in financial circles in this city as those of a conservative and careful observer, entitled to great weight, has some things to say concerning the condition of affairs in the southern country that are worthy of consideration. “My trip,” said he, “covered the country east of the Mississippi, and in that terri- tory I found the most remarkable change, not merely in the condition of affairs gen- erally, but in the tone and temper of the people. I found evidences of this changed condition for the better not only on the railroads, but also in the centers of popula- tion, and even in the smaller towns. Tnere can be no question about the crops of cot- ton and of corn. The former will simply be tremendous. Intelligent attention has been given to the crop of grains, vegetables, éc., | and this ought to surpass the most san- guine expectations. “The indications all point to the largest cotton crop on record. This crop has been produced at the minimum price; that is to say, the farmers have devoted themselves so earnestly to this, their staple crop, that they have mortgaged the future to a very considerable extent. In cases which came under my observation the farmers had even gone without meat to avoid incurring the indebtedness usually incident to the rais- ing and the marketing of this crop. “These southern farmers are becoming exceedingly conservative in the conduct of their affairs, and their spirit is refiected throughout the territory which I visited. “It extends to the manufacturing indus- tries. The settlement of the great strike some time ago in so conservative and satis- factory a manner has had its effect in the south. The industries of that section are gradually resuming operations. ‘he future has a great deal in store for the people of the south, and they are beginning to real- ize that fact in that section. “The full significance of this resumption of industry has not, of course, been reaiized, because the cotton crop has not yet been marig@ted. But it is certain to be felt in time. In my judgment, the south is on the upward incline. Step by step, round by round on the ladder, the south is bound to develop. In a word, it is on the upward grade, and it is to be congratulated in con- sequence.” Cure it Any sort of Sammer Sickness— Cramps, Colic, Cholera Morbus, what the na ure of the attack, you can cure it with Pain-Killer.
