Prof Nordenskiold the Arctic cxplor,

Prof. Nordenskjold the Arctic explorer,
has demonstrated the fact that Europe,
Asia and Africa form vast island sur
rounded by seas that it Is impossible to
navigate, but whether or not the Arstic
sea Is nayigable in the ordinary sense
cannot vet be determined. Nordensk-
iold, after two preliminary voyages to
northern waters, sailed from Gothen-
burg, Sweden, July 4th, 1878, with the
intention of finding northeast passage
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean,
and of opening commerce between
Weste n Eu. ope and the interior OF Asia.
His general route lay along the northern
shore of Norway and Russia, between ~
nd 10 degrees of north latitude. His
experience led him to believe that the
melting of the icebergs of Nova Zembla
during the summer months left clear
passage into the Sea of Kara and through
the Arctic Ocean every year, He really
met with no difficulties in making the
voyage from Western Europe to the
river Lena, which, flowing nOrthward
through Siberia, empties into the Arctic
Ocean. The remaining portion Of the
route to Behring's Strait had already
been passcd over by vessels sailing west
ward from the Pacific Ocean, SO that the
possibility Of making the passage was
assured, but Nordenskjold's expedition
was ice-bound just as it was about to en-
ter Behring's Strait, and seems to have
been kept there during the winter. The
steamer Vega is now reported 'in the
Straits and out of DANGER" so that Nor
densjold has clear sailing homeward by
the way of Y okohama, Japan, Malacca, the
Suez Canal, and the Mediterranean to
the Atlantic ocean. Although it seems
yery unlikely that the "Northeast pas
sage, will be of commercial value to the
world, it is not improbable that 1t may
be used for some purposes If clearly
mapped out. At least portion OF the
route is available for commerce, and now
thai Nordenksjold has reached the Pa
cific, he has the satisfaction Of knowing
that, beside, opening up q new line Of
water communication with Northern
Asia, he has commanded an expedition
that is sure to 60 on record as one Of the
most remarkable in history-anA'c ice cex-
pedition that was thoroughly successful

The I.OufSlama Debt.

There seems to be NO doubt that Lou
isiana is going to rspudla:e the larger
share Of It's State debt. It hes been evil
dent ever since It met that . large pro-
portion Of the Constitutional Convention
no " iIs o sion at New O,leans was bent
ON wriYgling out Of - much of the pub
hc Indebtedness % possi BILE, and the ma
jority Of the committee to which the
subject ives referred has now made = re-
POUR %iioUs a and psyine only 70 four pss
cent. interest on that. The prstext on
which this escape from paying the full
debt Is based is the claim that the Legis.
lature of 1874, which passed the fusdh ag
act, was not chosen by the people 1T q
free election, on account Of the military
interference. and that It's legislation In
regard to the debt Is consequently inva-
lid.--Ttmes. M t' GGeH il a 'f

It was Fosters speech In Congress ON
the Southern question when the elector-
al count was pending that officially fore
shadowed the Cancellation policy Of
Hayes and that committed the incoming
President to homo rule in the South If
the Southern leaders would assent to the
final Judgment of the House In accord
ance with the Electoral Commission act.
Mr.. Foster gave carefully prepared de-
liverance declaring in favor Of the con-
citation policy that Hayes accepted, and
the Endorsement of Fosters speech by An
autograph letter from Hayes consumnlat
ed the contract by which the House do
foaUcu the DemOcf2Jlc revviutlOnists, al
lowed Hayes to be declared elected In
proper folm and sealed the doom Of
the Chamberlain and Packard rump
governments. In the campaign he Is
about to enter Mr.. Foster will doubtless
be as forgetful as possible o. his concilia-
ton bond to The South, as the platform
given him is merely . violent arraign-
ment of the South to rekindle sectional
strife; but he would do we'll TO remsm-
ber that Judge West defeated himself
two wears ago for the same Office by mis-
taking the brawling Of politicians for
public opinion, and he should depal.
from his own record with the utmost
caution. There are moro than four
months of cooling time for the people
before they vote for the next Governor
of Ohio, and the policy Of bayOnet cleo
tions and Of sectional hate is not one
that will wear well with the people when
the country Is beginning to feel the
grateful revival Of business prosperity.
| B ,ltimore Sun (Ind.), May -.
Mr.. Fosters nomination over Judge
TAFT may be regarded asa triumph over
the Grant "stalwarts." Judge TAFT was
distinctively the representative OF the
bayonet principle in the Ohio canvass
and it was generally thought on Tues
day at Columbus that he was Gel taih to
be nominated. Mr.. Foster, who will be
Sherman's banner-bearer In tho October
contest, is hard-money man and
stronger on the currency than on the
bayonet issue. The platform which
was adopted is much less liberal thar
the candidate. 1t sustains the Presi
dents vetoes fully and emphasizes Gen.
eral Garfeld's position that the Demo
Gratis in Conrgess are ''conspiraton,
willing to obstruct tho Government IL
order to rehabilitate the principle o
States rights. Thus the "stalwarts'
who might object to Mr.. Foster may b.
encouraged to vote for him for the sak'
of the platform. 1913

The Rsvolution In English Rowing

Nothing more remarkable has occur

just while the authorities over there

Hanlan suddenly darts In am0Lg the pro-

that his rowlOcks, his sliding seat, his

that the little Canadian has not only

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher in her ''Let-
ters from Florida" attends strictly to
business, leaving others to sentimentalize
eral years she has spent nearly half her
time IN Florida, and cast her eyes IN
dustriously about her in the manner
peculiar to Yankees, who have warm
hearts but very cool heads. and she had
determined that ~ . sanitarium and q
home for poor men who are energetic,
Florida has no superiors, and in some
points NO equals. She describes the soil,
climate, productions, society and advis-
abb methods Of farming, answers the
questions usually asked about a new
country, and devises and replies to many
queries which few would think to make.
The greater part Of the work, however, is
the nature Of an earnest special plea and
argument in favor of emigration to
Florida. The tone Il thoroughly honest
the execution quite irregular and the
pages too frequently disfigured by italics.

Washington Letter 70 the Sunday World.
The more Sherman tries by advice and
aid of Hayes the greater the disgust
among Republicans becomes. The very
fact that Sam Randall has more appoint
ments under Hayes than any two Re-
publican Senators increases the disgust
at the taffy the President is SO lavishly
distributing among Republicans. Be-
sides the Republicans here generally are
tired of being ruled by Ohio. The new
President may be an Illinoisian, or yet
Missourian, but not an Ohioan.

FAaoneiol.,

An extraordinary fac Las occurred in
the history Of the Bank Of France. By
recent information from Paris 1t appears
while the note circulation of the bank
amounts TO 2, ,176, ,000, 900 Of francs, the
metallic reserve amounts TOT, 160, 600, 900
francs.
Stories have beon circulated at New
York that one Of the banks OF that city,
having about 500, 900 1910 bonds de-
posted with the Treasury - security for
circulation, had decided to retire the
notes rather than pay 1854 for 4 per cent
bunds for substitution for the called 10
40s. Nothing has appeared to confirm
or dispose the truth Of these statements.
1t Is not yet demonstrated that the
syndicate have lost the control of the
bond market they had held for several
weeks, but 1t seems they put the price
Of A. up little too high for some Of the
speculative holders to resist the oppOr-
tunity offered to realize 1t . handsome
profit, and hence the large sales and con-
sequent decline. The subscriptions to
$40 certificates yesterday were 81, ,282, $40
and the total to date have been about
$50, ,S7O, 900, Of which $685., 900 were
sold I'm Phiiadelphia..
The statement IL made that in New
York city, where there are several in
nuential State banks that have not
gone into 1.-THE national banking
system, those institutions are urging
the Governor Of New York TO veto
tho bill just passed by the Legisla-
ture, reducing the legal rate of interest
from 7 to 9 per cent. The bill makes
certain changes in the New York State
banking laws, and Of course cannot effect
the national banks, q they get their
charters from the General Government
The veto 10 urged, therefore, by the State
bank on the ground that the bill discri-
inmates against them and favors the
national banks. The veto L. strnngl,
