-The tragic death of Gfcjtain Oates was included in former published accounts. The diary adds, however, that "Oates' last thoughts were of his mother, but immediately before leaving he took pride in thinking that his regiment would be pleased at the bold way he met his We all hope to meet the end in a similar spirit and assuredly the end is not far." The Big Disappointment The depressing effect of the discovery that Captain Amundsen was the first to reach the Pole is brought out the portions of the diary now published. "The Norwegians forestalled- usi," says a typical entry. "It is a terrible I am very sorry for my loyal companions." Then was added the first note of despondency when Soott wondered if the party could make the return trip. After that there were frequent entries which showed that Capt.

Scott knew he was destined to perish on the icy barrier. The Scott volume contains many letters to friends and relatives. And there is the last letter to his wife. from which the following extract is taken: "Make our boy interested in natural history if you can. It is better than games.

6 The frustrated plot to assassinate President Adolfo Diaz of Nicaragua, and all his cabinet ministers on October 29th, was laid by the conspirators with remarkable care, according, to details published here today. The plotters, members of the Liberal party, divided themselves in to three groups. The first of thesa was charged with the work of killing the President and two ministers; the second was to assassinate Vice-President Fernando Sol-orazano and the minister of foreign affairs, and the third group was to throw dynamite bombs among the members of the chamber of deputies while they were gathered In session on the afternoon of 29. The dscovery of the conspirators while they were holding a meeting to arrange the final details of the plot was purely accidental. STEFAN8SON HEARD FROM Ottawa, Nov.

It seems a pity, but I do not think I can -write more. For God's sake, look after our people." In the diary as published, a number of parts of it are made public for the first time, and light is thrown on many points hitherto, obscure.

The part that the collapse of Petty Officer Evans and Captain Oates played in the failure of the expedition is told. Evans was a physical giant, the strongest member of the party, but when he gave up his collapse was quick. On January 17, 1912, the first reference was made to Evans' injuries. His hands were then frozen, and premature camping was forced. A week later his noee was frozen and his fingers were badly blistered.

"He is a good deal run down," Scott wrote, "He is very much annoyed with himself, which is not a good sign." The struggle of Evans "Evans dislodged two finger nails" Scott wrote on Jan. 29, 1912. "His hands are really bad, and, to my surprise, he shows signs of losing heart over it. He has not been very cheerful since the accident." There are other items of similar tone. Then on February 17, Scott wrote: "A very terrible day.

Evans look ed a little better after a sleep. He declared, as he always did, that he was qultewelirahd started In his place In the traces, but half an hour later he worked his ski-shoes adrift and had to leave the sledge. The surface was awfully soft, recently fallen snow clogging the ski and run ners at every step. After we had stopped an hour, Evans came up again, but very Blow- ly. Half an hour later he dropped out again on the same plea and asked Bowers to lend him a picee of string.

I cautioned him to come on as quickly as he could, He answered cheerfully, as I thought. We had to push on, and the remainder of us were forced to pull very hard and were sweating very heavily. Seeing Evans a long way astern, we camped for lunchi There waa no alarm at first. Evans still not aD- pelfring, we looked out and saw him still far off. By this time we werej I iiuu DaiOa I was the first to reach the poor man.

I was shocked by his appear ance. He was on his knees his cloth- ing disarranged, his hands uncovered and frost-bitten, a wild look in his eyes. I asked what was the matter. He replied with slow speech that he did not know; he thought he must have fainted. We got him to his feet, but after two or three steps he sank down again and showed every Bign of com plete collapse.

wnson, Bowers and I went for the sledge. Oates remained with him. When we returned he was prac i ucauy unconscious. When we got him into the tent he was quite comatose, and died quietly at 12:30 in the morning. l-.

Jl ju uiscuBsing tne symptoms we think he began to get weaker just before we reached the Pole. Th downward path was accelerated first by the shock of the frostbitten fing ers later by falls during the rough traveling on the glacier, and further by the loss of confidence in himself, Wilson thinks it certain that he must have injured his brain by his fall. The Failing of Oates "It is a terrible thing to lose companion In this way, but calm re a i H--uon snows mat there could not have been a better ending to the ter 1 nuie anxiety or tne lust, week.
