At Last We Perceive the Correct Way TO

We may seem fully entitled TO draw
the conclusions that current is con-
stantly running across the polar region
somewhere north of the Franz Josef
land from the sea north OF the Siberian
coast and Behring strait, and into the
sea between Spitzbergen and Green
land, writes DR.. fridj in the Forum.
Since such current exists, the most
natural way Of reaching the North
Pole, or point quite near it. must be
to enter the current on the side where
it runs northward that is somewhere
near the New Siberian Islands-and
let it carry one straight across those
unknown regions which it has pre-
vented so many from reaching

dred tons will suffice.
The most important features Of the

such lines as will give her the great
est power of resistance to the pres =
sure of the foe ice. Her sides must
not be perpendicular. as those of ships
generally are, but must slope from the
bulwarks to the keel; or. to use a sail
ors expression, her dead rise must
be made great, so that the foes shall
get no hold OF her when they are
pressed together, but will glide down
ward along her sides and under her
thus tending to lift her out Of the
water. With this vessel and crew
of ten or twelve strong and well picked
men. besides an equipment for five
years as good in all respects as mod
ern appliances can afford. think the

DoNNELLY oIscRAcEo.

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct 24-The jury in the
libel suit of Ignatius Donnelly against the
St Paul Pioneer Press for 100000 dam
ages tonight brought in verdict giving
Donnelly 81 and allowing him IS for coun-
sci fees The trial was probably the most
famous in the legal annals of the north
west, and owing to the prominence of the
plaintiff and the matters involved attract
ed the greatest interest.
Ignatius Donnelly, the famous author, a
former member of congress, leader in
the Farmers Alliance, and prominently
mentioned for the presidential nomination
of that party, sued the Pioneer Press for
s 90 900 actual damages on account OF the
publication on Feb 10, 1891, of letter
from Colonel King, formerly postmaster
of the house of representatives, and man
of national reputation, which letter had
been first published in the Pioneer Press
eleven years previously 1t was on account
of the allegations of bribery made in the
letter that Donnelly brought suit.
The Pioneer Press in its defense was
under the disadvantage that all the events
alleged in the letter happened during and
prior to 1863, and, with the exceptions of
Colonel King and G. P. Huntington of the
Southern Pacific railway, no one is alive
who could have assisted the Pioneer Press
in its plea of justification. Colonel King
was the chief and almost the only witness,
and his testimony was very explicitly to
the effect that Donnelly had both offered
and accepted bribes while member of
congress.
Donnelly's testimony consisted of a fat
denial of all the testimony unaccompanled
by documentary or corroborative evidence.
The case was therefore reduced to ques-
tion of the credbility of King and Dom
nelly, which the jury had to decide.
