On the way over Buxton fell in with some of the American miners who have been engaged In Mongolia by the Russo-Ch}- nese bank. They have been released for the winter, as necessary, machinery must be brought into the country before the mining work can proceed. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 8.— Vladimir Bogoraz, leader of the Siberian depart- ment of the Jesup North Pacific expedU tion, who returned to St. Petersburg a month ago after nearly a year and a. half of exploration in North Siberia, was in- vited to lecture before the Imperial Gee)- graphical Society in this city last night. A large company assembled to hear him, but word came at the last moment that he had been expelled from the city by the police. The cause of this action was said to be an article published -by Bogoraz, in a local .newspaper. Instead of Bogoraz' s lecture a letter was read from his companion, Vladimir Jack- elson, who is still in Siberia. Jackelson said that anthrometric measurements had been made among the Kariaks and three skulls obtained. Thirty phonographic cyl- inders were filled with Kariak utterances and songs. Clay objects were found by excavations. This is held to prove that a higher civilization once prevailed in Kam- schatka, since the present tribes are ig- norant of pottery. The • expedition left San . Francisco March 17, 1900, for Vladivostok to gather material about "the origin of the American races and their affinities with Asiatic tribes. InJune, 1900, Bogoraz went to the Anodyr country, and July 24 Jackelson and his companion, Axelrad of Zurich, \u25a0went to Gijlga. Bogoraz made a study of the Kam6chatkan and Kariaks and then proceeded northward nearly to Ber- ing Straits. He sledged about 10,000 vergts, His entire collection embraces 12,000 ob- jects, and a comparative grammar of the native languages shows them to belong to the Eskimo group. • The game of basque ball now being played four days of each week at Centra) Park seems billed to become a fad in this country. The game was recently import- ed from Mexico, it having had its birth in France about fifteen years ago. The Span- iards, then took it up, and experts went to South America, where it met with great favor. It has now been Introduced into the United States in the belief that it will become popular on account of the unusual skill required by tho players in scoring the various points to fee made under the rules of the game. A large crowd of curious spectators was present at the. contests yesterday. Three matches were played by the Spanish con- testants, and In the course of the matches some very interesting plays were made. Even to those who do not understand the game the spectacle of seein" men scoop up a swiftly flying bail in an arrangement shaped like a boomerang and then sweep- ing it away again apparently without ef- fort proved a distinct novelty. Whenever a ball was muffed by a player, or when it flew too hifeh and scraped the wire net- ting on the walls, the bell rang and the opposing players were given a point. Tho plays were fast and furious at times, and on these occasions the applause was gen- erous. That the players are experts in their line, is incontestable. Lovers of handball will appreciate this basque ball for the reason that the. games are quite similar. An inclosure similar to that of a handball court, only much larger, is provided. The wall against which the ball is thrown by the players Is fifty feet high and, jIs called tho "front!." About 200 feet away is another v/all of a lesser height, which is called the "rebote," and against which the ball rebounds. Connecting the | walls is an- other of equal height, thus forming a court forty feet wide, \u25a0which is paved with artificial stone. This court is called the "cancha." 'The players are disposed ac- cording to the requirements of the game within the cancha, each holding "la ch|s- tera," an apparatus- formed of twigs in the shape of a horn of plenty, open on one side. The ball is caught with clever- ness by the players in the chistera, and with one sweep of the arm sent forth again with lightning-like 6peed. The ball must be caught on the fly as it rebounds from the frontis, or on. the first rebound. Should a player fail in accomplishing this his opponent scores. The manipulation of the, ball and the rapidity with which it is passed about among the opposing teams fascinates spectators and frequently rouses them to tho- manifestation of. con? siderable enthusiasm. It is the belief of local handball men that the new game will become popular with the masses after it is once under- Stood. A company has been formed. tQ In- troduce the game, and the construction of a court in Central Park necessitated the expenditure of $35,000.. Fifteen Span- iards who are experts at the game were brought to this city, and they play in matches four days of each week. The crowds are becoming larger dally, and when the beauties of the game are more generally realized there can be no ques- tion that the investment by the company will become profitable. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 8.—Serious de- fects have manifested themselves in the machinery of the battleship Illinois, row in this port, and it is more than probable that a board of naval engineers will be named by the department to examine her engines piece by piece. James Rowbot- tom, superintendent of machinery of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry- dock Company, reached New Orleans to- day to investigate complaints which have been made to the department and which have b«en referred to the company. On the Illinois' voyage to New Or- leans great cracks developed in the cyl- inder flanges and heads. Other defects were located both in the starboard and port engines. It is said that the cylinder flanges are not only badly cracked, but the cylinders themselves are defective. In the event that the board of engineers convenes here it is believed the Il- linois will return at once to the ship- yard at Newport News, where she was built, and the defective machinery be recast.

They par- tially recovered, however, toward the end of the week. / • • - Iron and coal shares continued strong until Friday.. when a reaction began. This was in response to the renewed dismal news from tho producing centers, which caused the falls in prices recorded on Friday and Saturday, and which brought quotations from 2 to 4 below, the previous week. The silver situation is still critical, al- though silver has recovered slightly from its lowest quotation. The future of silver is said to depend entirely .upon whether tho United States refrain from pressing future sales. BERLIN. Dec. 8.—The Boerse did not show a uniform tendency during the past week, and while there was a dull move- ment in domestic shares, industrials were exhausted. LONDON, Dec. S.—The outlook on the Stock Exchange was somewhat brighter during ths past week, owing to the mes- sage from President Roosevelt, the speech of the Prince of Wales and the unex- pectedly heavy captures in South Africa. These latter also helped the market for mining shares, and Kaffirs rose slightly, The money situation was satisfactory, as there was no prospect of stringency in New York. Paris and Berlin bill's. It Is thought this promised situation, combined with the present low price of stock, will stimulate both investment and specula- tion. The volume of business to date is still limited. American securities were lethar- gic, in spite of the improvement of Wall street. Exciting Sport Vasco Attracts Crowds to Central Park. Board of Engineers May Examine the New Illinois.

He gave an en- j tertainir.g description of the traditionary \ history, people and topography of the \u25a0 island, but for the most part his remarks were confined to the industrial legislation M if New Zealand. He deelared that the j fecple of the island are as far ahead of! the people of the United States to-day in industrial legislation as the United States \u25a0 was ahead of Europe 100 years agd: The j iich citizens of New Zealand, he said, i bought up ail the land, thus depriving their poorer brethren of the opportunity of making a livelihood. He pointed out that this condition cf affairs led the peo- ple to take the legislation into their own hands and to legislate for their own inter- ests. Mr. Craig declared that by the pas- sage of a land tax the rich were forced to forfeit their monopoly on the land. The people also enacted an income tax, he said. In describing the New Zealand Govern- ment he said that Ministers were ap- pointed to look after the railroads, the mines and also the interests of labor. The speaker Kaid that in the Island railroads, telegraph, water rights and other public utilities are owned by the Government. The greater part of the conclusion of his lecture was devoted to the industrial con- ciliation and compulsory arbitration law, which, he declared, was one of the great- est achievements of New Zealand legisla- tion, in that it secured the peaceable ad- justment of all quarrels betwen labor and 'capital.

The tribute paid hi-; memory by his brother Masons speaks more than words for the deceased's standing among men.

A military band marked mournful time, and a company of State soldiers marched be- hind the musicians in tribute to the worth of the dead citizen.

Caklanders Mourn at Bier of Uprigh> City Employe Whose Term Ends Forever Edward Hart, in Eulogizing Deceased, Speaks of Sin- cerity That Marked His Life The party of engineers now in the field will run a line as far as Challis, Idaho. In the spring a survey will be run to the vicinity of Thunder Mountain, the new Idaho gold camp. This may be the stop- ping place for a time. Later the read wni be continued toward the northwest from this point. The probabilities are that if a direct route across the mountains to the Sal- mon River could not be located the mid- dle fork would be followed north to the main stream and then the course of the stream generally followed, with such dis- tance-saving variations as the country would permit. Itis possible that the Sal- mon would be followed to the Snake and that stream paralleled to Lewiston. Another route which is said to be feas- ible is to leave the course of the Salmon neafr the Buffalo Hump Mountains, strik- ing northward across the range at its me*?: approachable point, probably near American Creek, and following that stream and the south fork of the Ctear- water to Mount Idaho. From Mount Idaho to Lewiston and thence to Grange Oty Junction, Wash., on the Spokane line of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company, that road has a survey, made during the Buffalo Hump excitement. This survey could be followed or a di- vergence could be made from Lewiston north to Moscow. The latter route, if found practicable, gives a more direct line to Spokane. In either event connection would be made with the Oregon Railroad and Navigation line and the Northern Pa- cific. SALT LAKE, Dec. 8.— A party of Ore- son Short Line engineers has started upon the work of surveying an extension of the new branch running from Black- f(K» Idaho, to Mackay. Idaho. The ulti- mate objective point of the Short Line in this extension is neither Challis. Salmci City nor Thunder Mountain. If a feasible route can be iound the road will be built through to Lewiston, Idaho, on the west- ern border of the State, and there it will connect with a proposed branch of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Com- pany, or may itself build farther to a connection with that part of the Harri- raan system, probably at Grange City Junction. Wash. The Harriman system has in contemplation a plan involving the expenditure of millions of dollars and the construction of a line with feeders traversing the entire central 1 of Idaho and opening probably the richest mineral, agricultural and timber section of the West that is at present without a rail- road. i?j>ecial Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—A dispatch to th» Record-Herald from Washington sa>s: Andrew Carnegie is to give $10,000,000 to the cause of university extension In the United States. Announcement of this great gift to education will be made at the White House on Tuesday. Mr. Car- negie was here' a few days ago and took luncheon with President Roosevelt, when details of the plan were fully discussed. Mr.Carnegie has thought best to create a national board to handle this munificent benefaction. President Roosevelt will probably name such a board for Mr. Ciif- negie, or at least set in motion the ma- chinery which shall lead to a national or- ganization. Mr. Carnegie is expected here to-mor- row or on Tuesday and fuller details or this gigantic enterprise will soon become public. ' Nicholas Murray Butler, who has suc- ceeded Seth Low at the head of Colum- bia College, ha3 been here for two days, a guest of President Roosevelt at the White House, and he has aided inperfect- ing the plans. Mr. Butler left for New- York at 4. o'clock this afternoon and be- fore going refused to give any particulars beyond the information that an announce- ment would be made on Tuesday at the White House. Mr. Butler has long been one of the foremost champions of univer- sity extension and it is understood Mr. Carnegie has had frequent consultations with him concerning the enterprise. According to the plans prepared by Mr. Carnegie and his advisers, the national organization is to have its headquarters in Washington, but its operations are to extend throughout the United States, the work to be carried onin co-operation wlUx. universities everywhere.
