St. Patrick’s day and the cabinet

callers who saw him in very short
order. Ail the visitors came be

stated that nothing important was

celebration in Washington in con

patron saint of Ireland was the
celebration of high mass by the
Papal legate, Archbishop Safcolii, in
St. Patrick’s church. There was no
parade but there was the customory
uncomfortable St Patrick’s weather
which took the shape this year of a

THE QUESTION OF REORGANIZING
THE SENATE AT PRESENT.
Indications Point to a Disagreement On
This Question and it May Result In

By Telegraph to News and Observer.
Washington, D C., March 17.
The D mocratic caucus committee
resumed its labors this mornin &>
and whatever has been accom
plished will be reported to the full
caucus, which will be called for
Tuesday morning of next week
The committee went carefully over
ihe list of employees of the Senate,
and the compansation now be
ing drawn by various officials of
high and low degree. It looks as
if there was a desire to bet
ter equalize the salaries paid
with the possibility of reductions
here and there, and also to see that
in the parceling out places, some
attention is paid to geographical
distribution. All this is prelimin
ary to the greater question whether
or not the Senate shall be reorgan
ized entirely at this session, the
question which prominent members
of the committee assert has not
been taken up at all. Indications
point to disagreement on this point

Voyage oHno Vlaing Ship.
Baltimore Hun.
The Viking-ship, fitting out in
Norway to be sent to the Chicago
Exposition, says tho New York
Times, was launched without acci
dent at Sandefjord, Norway. It
was christen d the Viking, and it
carried the Norwegian flag at the
stern, an American flag in the bow*,
and a red standard with a golden
lion at the masthead Besides
these flags it will carry the flag of
the old-time Norwegian Viking, a
red Bquare with a black raven, on
its voyage across the Atlantic.
After the launch, which was at
tended by prominent men from all
parts of Norway, the ship was taken
in tow by a tug, and proceeded to
Christiania, where the ship will be
rigged and fitted out. On this first
voyage the tugboat and its charge
were caught in the ice about half
way between the two places, and, as
a gale was blowing at the time, the
Viking had a narrow escape fiom
being wrecked by the heavy ice
floes. Tim crew, however, worked
heroically and got the vessel
through the ice after two days’ suf
fering, during which several of them
came near freezing to death.
The captain of the ship will be
Yagnus Anderson, who, in the sum
mer of 1880, attempted to sail from
Norway to New York in an 18 foot
open boat, accompanied by only
one assistant This voyage differed
from most of the other similar at
tempts which have been made
across the Atlantic in that it was
not undertaken for the sake of per
sonalgain and notoriety, but to de
monstrate to ship owners and sea
faring men what can be done with a
well-provisioned lifeboat in case ol
shipwreck in mid ocean.
Capt Anderson had reached the
Newfoundland banks when his boat
was turned bottomside up by an
immeuse wave, which washed away
everything except the skipper and
bis crew of one man. For thiriy
hours they worked away before
they again got their boat on even
keel As their instruments and
charts had been lost they were com
pelled to abandon the trip and
board a passing ship
The crew of the Viking has been
selected from a list of 280 volun
teers, all good sailors, and is un
doubtedly made up of the best ma
terial which Norway can produce
The Viking will leave Norway early
in April, and it is supposed that
she will make a quick voyage
across. Her first landing in this
country will be made at Newport,
R. 1., whence she will pass down
the sound, then Hell Gate and
East river, and then byway of the
Hudson river and Erie canal to the
lakes.
The committee which has been
formed to give the ship a suitable
reception is arranging to tow her
through the East river on the first
Sunday after her arrival at New
port, so as to give everybody inter
ested a chance to inspect her. In
vitations will ba sent to all the dif
ferent yacht clubs in the city to co
operate in th»*se ceremonies.
A Good Record.
Baltimore Sun.
Col. Paul Faison, the retiring Su
periutendent of the North Carolina
penitentiary, Las made an excellent
record during his four years’ incum
bency of the office. When he was
appointed the people were being
taxed $150,000 a year to support
the penitentiary, and it was not
deemed probable that it could be
made self sustaining. But as a re
sult of Colonel Faison’s manage
ment the people have rot been
taxed a cent for the support of the
penitentiary, which has not only
been self sustaining, bub has de
clared a profit in favor of the State.
Now, at the end of four years, Col.
Faison reimburses the State for the
$113,150 which he found to the
credit of the penitentiary fund as
balance of an appropriation made
for it< support, and shows a clear
profit in f ivor of the State in assets,
stock and permanent improvements
of $176,510 It would seem the ser
vices of such a man should have
been retained, but Gcv. Carr has
already named his successor.

Yesterday at Washington— A QuleTt
Execution Wit hout Notable Incident.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Washington, D C., Ylarch 17.
Howard Jefferson Schneider was
hanged at 10:52 this morning in the
District jail at the outskirts of the
city, for the murder of his wife Jan
uary 31, 1892. He was indicted
also for the murder of her young
brother at the sarno time and place,
but this case was not brought to
trial The procession to the scaffold
was a small one; came the
warden cf the jail; beside him walked
Robert Strong, a guard, who ad
justed the rope about Schneider’s
neck, and who performed the same
service for Guiteau Then came
Schneider,staggering and supported
on either side by one of the guards
of the jail. Then came the minis
ter, followed by two guards. There
was but a brief delay when the
scaffold was reached. There was a
brief prayer; the signal was given,
the drop fell, and Schneider, with
the rope about his neck, fell half a

Comes tr the point—The churth
i pire,
5 he Search for the North Pole.
Baltimore Sun
The determination to maka new
attempts to reach the North Pole,
in spite of the failures cf many pre
vious expeditions and the dreadful
disasters attending some of them,
continues to be unabated. Threo
expeditions are now being fitted
out, each of which will try in
a different way to reach the
pole. The brilliant success cf hia
first expedition to Greenland has
stimulated Lieutenant Peary to
make another venture from Phil*
deiphia in the same direction. Dr
Nansen, well known for his own ex
plorations in Greenland, proposes
to sail from Christiana in Junb
along the coast of Siberia until h>
reaches a point off the mouth
of the Lena, so fatal to the
Janette exposition. From that
point he will commit his ship to the
ico pack and drift with the current
wherever it may lead him. His
studies have led him to believo that
the current will float him across the
pole and ultimately land him in
Greenland. Such an undertaking
is inconceivably bold and haz trd
ous, but his ship is nearly ready,
his stores and provisions are being
prepared, and the men he has se
lected aro all of them hardy Norwe
gians, accustomed to the endurance
of arctic weather. Besides the sup
plies Nansen takes with him he is
preparing an additional depot of
supplies far up on the Siberian
coast. The further precaution he
has taken, assuming the possibility
that his ship may be crushed in
the ice, is to have on board his
dogs and sledges, so that in
the event of having to abandon
hia ship he may con inue to prose
cute his advantage either on laud
or on ice. He is provisioned with
concentrated food, which he esti
mates will last his comparatively
small crew for six years, but he
hopes to be floated across the pole
into the open waters of Greenland
within three years. Thoughtful
Arctic explorers fear that Nansen’s
ship will share the fate of the Jean
nette, by being crushed between
masses of thick ice.
The third expedition, and the
most promising of all, is that of
Jackson It is to sail from Liver
pool in June direct for Franz Josef
Land, which lies to the north of
Nova Zembla aud to the east of
Spitzbergen. “Is southernmost
point touches the 80th parallel of
north latitude, and is bisected by
the 60th parallel of east longitude ”
To the north of it lie Peterman’s
Land and Oscarlmd, reaching to
latitude 83 and bevond. Jackson’s
purpose is to make the journev
overland to Peterman’s Land,
which, if it extends as far north as
85, would bring him within 300
miles of the pole. That distance he
proposes to cover in boats if he
finds open water, or on sledges it
he finds land or ice
