CAPT. SCOTT'S FUEL SUPPLY Commander Evans of the Terra Nova Says He Had Plenty to Last A de> patch from Christchurch, New Z< iland, says : TheTerraNova, the vessel which took Captain Rob- art F. Scott to the Antarctic on his way to the South Pole, and which returned there to fetch him back, bur instead brought the news of his n<i his companions' heroic death, vrrived in this jKirt on Wednesday nK> r ning. Commander F.vans said that, reckoning by the progress of th' - supporting parties, Captain 8c. tt should have returned to Hut Point by March 17. Regarding 'he shortage of fuel, he Raid that iSc,it h.-'-i enough fuel to List a month boy- aid the date of his expected re- turn. The Terra Nova brought every written record of the southern party, including the private diar- ies, which will be handed to the re- latives of the dead explorers. Cap- tain Scott kept a daily record un- til March 21. and spent the last day in writing his message to the pub- lic. Commander Evans trill com- plete Captain Scott's story for pub- lication. AM on board the Terra Nova look to he in g<xjd health, and bear no outward signs of the hardships they have undergone. All Detail* lie Given. A despatch from London, says : In reply to a cablegram from the edi- tor of Tlu- Uaily Chronicle inform- ing liim of that paper's donation of 2, (XX) to the Scott memorial fund and asking for further news of the expedition, Commander ,Evans bogs to be excuBod from "going into tho dfails, which may be painful in regard to tho end of our boJoved comrades." "The whole history of this expedition," o>dds Evans, "will certainly be given to the public in dm' course, but please let us oom- p!i't- our work in quietness. We ar- pledged to do our utmost to bri'ig thin expedition to a succews- ful termination. Included in that is- the publication of the scientific and other details as a lasting tri- bute to those who have not been pared. Perhaps now you can rea- B7.r* why the ofIU-iii.1 telegram was X> short. Surely its painful brev- ity needs no defence." What Utllcial Report Raid. In connection with th foregoing it is interesting to note that Lieut. Evans, in lii official report, eayn in part : "Hefore Terra Nova le.ft for New Zealand last March Surgeon At- kinson, who had bec-n left in charge of the wet<Tii party until Bcott's return, despatched Garrard and Demetri, dog driven, with two doif learns to assist the southern party, whoso return to Hut Point wa expected about March 10, 1912. Atkinson would have accompanied this party, but was k^pt back in Di''lical charge of Lieut. Evan*, aocond in command, who, it will be, reini'inbered, ne.arly di<*l of scurvy. "ThU relief party reached One Ton Depot, March 3, lint were coin peiled to return March 10, owing primarily to dog food running abort, alo to persistent bad woa ther and poor condition .if doga, <>n UK .nt. of tdrain of hard B6A4On'l Work. Dog trains returrK-d to Hut Point March lit, the [xior animals tnoHtly froct-bitten and incapable of further work. Garrard collapsed through overstrained heart. His companion was u!-o sick, and it won im|vossibl to communicate with Cai>e Evans, ahip having loft March 4, and open s&a lying between At- kin*cm and Keohane. Only two meji sledged out to Corner C'am.p to render any help that might be, wanted by southern party. They fought thir way out to Corner Camp agaanut tho unusually severe weather, and, realizing they could be of no assistance, were forced to return to Hut Point after denoting one week's provisions. "On October 30," the official re- port says, "A large party under Atkinson, well provisioned, set out. It divided into two sections, and one of them, under Wright, the Toronto man, found Scott's tent, in which wen- the bodies of Scott, Wil- son and Bowers." Evaporation of Oil. The Christchurch correspondent of the London Daily Mail tele- graphs an interview with Lieut. Evans, in which the commander re- fused to be drawn into a discussion of what he called "wicked rumors and conjectures." He denied the Ktories of dissensions, and was em- phntic in his statement that the supporting party on their way back after having bade farewell to Cap- tain Scott and his comrades on their way to the pole did not meddle with the oil. "There* was evaporation," he said, "owing to the leather washers of the cans, and as the supplies were cut so fine, this made a considerable shortage." Lieut. Evans declared that the rumors that Seaman Evans had gone insane were cruel, scandalous and baseless, adding that he be- haved admirably. ('apt. Scott, Commanded Evans said, left in- structions that no search parties should leave the base to seek him. He added that it was beyond hu- man possibility for the bane party to have saved Capt. Scott and his comrades. SOME OF THE MEN WITH SCOTT EXPEDITION ': ':{%&/ ^. ^.v..' r :W:iftt* ''' Jji'-tl^lf2J.f ; .--I-..

After describing the collection oJ fossil plants, coal, corals of primi' tive form, the writer continues : "The notes of the geologists are nece.Rsnrily not at present avail- able. Until experts have had ac- cess to this material it is unwise to make definite inferences. "In general terms it may be naid that there is proof of temperate conditions of climate having ob- tained in tho Antarctic at two peri- ods of time in past ages." Impressive Serviro In St. Paul's. A df;spn!ch from I/ondon says : "The noise of the mourning of a mighty nation" sounded thrillingly here on Friday when tho Hritish people through their representative headl joined with London's crowd in a solemn requiem to the brave dead now lying in an icebound tomb in the Antarctic denr.rt. King George, the members of the Cab- inet and the hends of the navy and army and other national services shared in n slutdy ceremony in which also the nations of the world aKHiioinlod themselves with Great liritain through their Ambassadors.

KI.KVATOR. Port Colhorne Ilnndlcd Moro Thnn U.' Million lluHheln In 1l'.>. A cirspaUih from \Velland wys : The Ckjvernment elevator nt Port Colborne ha had a wonderfully succesBful yenr in KH2. With a ca- pacity of 760,000 bushels, it handled last year 12,100.000 huho], which i.- the largest quantity handled by any elevator on the lakes, except the Grand Trunk elevator at Tif- fin, which handled 13,080,000 hunh eli, hut its capacity is two million bushels. I'ort Colborm- handled rnoro grain tliiin Kin.gst-on. Port f'olborne elevator is HUM ,oing en- larged to the two -million irt, no that no doubt it will handle more grain the coming season than any other elevator on the lakes. Toronto 8oh<x>l supplies will thirty four thousand dollars moro than last .\ear. many persons have more than one arrest or Rumuions to their credit. The flinirea constitute an increase of 6,724 over 1911. , Drunkenness on Increase. One of the most marked increases ap- peared under the heading of drunks and disorderlies. This IB due, no doubt, to two reason*. One being the influx of foreigner!*, and the other being greater It in stringency on the part of the police may altto indicate an actual increase drinking habits. Certainly the number of drunken men who may be observed on Toronto street* is not to the credit of th city, and doe* not. one (ear*, compare favorably with most other citle* In Ameri- ca or England of like *i*e. Tha number of prosecutions for keeping house* of 111 fame practically doubled. there being 249 during the year. This in- crease also Is no doubt largely due to greater vigilance on th part of tn* police. It 1* noteworthy that nf the serlon* crimes the city Is comparatively free. Thus, during the entire year there were but two murders, but 4( burglaries, '6 rases of robbery by violence and 41 of pocket picking. M.irrlid M*n Seltls Down.

One Is that when be was In 1898 flmt elected to the llouse, and came dimu to Toronto to take hi* seat, the doorkeeper of the Legislative Chamber re- fused to admit him until he had been identified.
