AN ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

DIR. Nansen, Norwegian Explorer, Will
Penetrate I'm and Beyond the North Pole.
The scientific world is interested in pole
explorer besides Lieut. Peary, and his name is
DIR. Fridjof Nansen. He is the sturdy Nor
wegan who made Journey across the Island
of Greenland in the ice cap in 1885, and he is
now about to start on novel expedition to
pass the pole and traverse the unknown polar
regions. DIR. Nansen said of his expedition in an
address before the London Royal Geographical
Society. that with party of IL chosen men
l shall leave Norway early in June next and
sail direct to Nova Zembla. So soon as the con-
dltion of the ice permits we shall leave for the
Kara Sea, probably early in July. Striking
the Siberian Coast and passing Cape Tschel-
Juskin, the most northerly point of the Old
World, shall pass on so far as the mouth OF
the River Lena. Leaving the coast l shall
start i'll northerly direction along the western
coast of the Island of Kotelnai. the most west
erly Of the Liakov, or New Siberian Group,
and shall continue in this direction until the
pack ice renders farther nav CATION impossible
ave shall do our best to force the ship
through the ice, but we shall at last reach
point where we must STOP This will probably
bring us to September, and we shall in this
way get to some distance north of the New
Siberian Islands. When navigation becomes
no longer practicable, shall have nothing left
but to ram the ship into the ice as far as posi-
bic and stick there. Then shall have to be
contented for the time with policy of mas
terly inactivity. We shall be continually
moving in a northerly direction. Assisted by
nature, instead of fighting against her, we ex-
pect to be taken by the drifting of the ice foes
right across the Polar region down into the
East Greenland Sea, between Spitzbergen and
Greenland. having in this way reached and
passed the Pole.
We take with US provisions for five years.
Entirely depending upon the current, we shall
be drifted first to one side and then to the
other, but always in northery direction,
until, as l have already said we emerge into
the Greenland Sea, whence We shall return to
Norway"

International Trouble Likely.

At the CGeur d'Alene riots last Summer Alex
r. Chisholm, of Wardner, was one of the men
arrested and put in prison for aiding and abet
ting the rioters. He alleges that ON July II
he was, by order of Col. Carln, of the 4th Inf,
arrested and thrown into prison. There he was
compelled to remain until Sept. 30 without ex-
animation or trial, his protestations of British
citizenship going unheeded. The British Gov
eminent has requested an explanation from
this Government, and the authorities at Wash
ington have asked Secretary of State Pnkham
of Idaho for Information.

William Mckinley, ST., Dead.

William Mckinley, ST., the father of Gov.
Mckinley, died Nov. "a at Canton, O. The
cause 0f death was heart disease, superinduced
by old age, the deceased having passed his S5th
birthday. His death, although looked for for
several days was great shock to the aged
wife, who is feeble, and the members of the
family fear it will be more than she will be
able to stand. They had been married GO years

POLITICAL.
Notes on the Late Presidential
Campaign.

It IS likely that Lieut. Gov. Halle, the Re.
publican candidate, will contest the election of
Coy Russell in Massachusetts, not it is SAID,
because he questions the legality OF RUSSELL s
title but to set himself right before the people,
and TO show that had it not been for votes mis-
takenly cast for Woleott Hamlin he would now
he Governor elect. All this comes out of the
discovery that numberless votes were thrown
outbecause the ballots were improperly marked.
Returns from all Counties of the State except
Suffolk, show that over $4,000 votes cast were
worthless under the Australian system. One
third of them were entirely blank-that is,
with no mark whatever against name for
Governor. while the others were rendered in
operative by the voters placing cross against
the name of William II. Halle, and also against
that of Wolcott Hamlin, the Prohibition candl-
date, the latters name following that of Halle
on the ballot.
The regularity of the name, "Wolcott Ham,
lin doubtless led thousands of voters to be-
lieye that when they marked first for Halle.
and then for the name next following, Wolcott
Hamlin, they were voting for the Republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Roger VOL
colt, who. in reality, was eight names lower
down on the ballot under the appropriate head.
" Lieutenant Governor"
An estimate based on the assumption that it
was clearly the intention of the voter to mark
for Halle and his associate on the ticket. VOL
colt and not for Wolcott Hamlin, gives Halle a
plurality over Russell in those Counties OF TO-
600 votes.
The recount, as now given out. shows that
Gov. Russell is elected with plurality of 1859.
The plurality Of Roger Walcott. Republican, for
Lieutenant Governor. over James Is. Carroll,
Democrat, is 1858. William N. DIN. Republi
can. has a plurality of l7,s0S over Charles S.
Hamlin. Democrat. for Secretary of State.
George A. Marden. Republican, as State Treas
urer. has a plurality over James S. Grinnel,
Democrat of % 946.

A bill was introduced into the Alabama Leg
islature last week providing that all persons

not amount to S., shall not be required to pay

nifty of saving S.. Many think the bill will

Georpia's Soldiers.

The indefinite postponement by the
Senate of Georgia of the House bill pro-
posing to submit to vote of the people
whether the State should accept the gift
OF the Atlanta Confederate Soldiers Home
seems very odd to our people, but perhaps
we do not understand the situation.
II may be that the senators find no con-
stitutional warrant for asking the judy
ment of the voters on such question, or
that they have arranged to provide for the
veterans by means of pensions.
This we know FROM wha: we saw of the
Georgia soldiers in the battles around
Richmond. that no provision the Legisla-
lure of that State could make for caring
for them IN their old age and helplessness
would be beyond their deserts.

The Doctors and the Cholera.


Responsive to inquiries from the United
States Senate Committee on immigration
a number of the leading physicians of New
York city have given their opinion as TO
the danger to be feared from cholera next
year.
One and all declare that the most rigid
quarantining will be necessary to keep the
pest out of our ports. This work they
would have done under the supervision of
the Federal Government. They recon-
mend. also, that a strict system OF inspec-
tion of vessels bound for this country be
made at the ports Of departure, or, If this
be impracticable, that immigration be sus-
pended for one year.
In short, they consider that we are in
danger, but that by timely and energetic
action we may ward that danger of.
THIS is likewise the conclusion of the
people OF the United States. Nomatter what
cur friends across the water may think or
saw of us-no matter how the steamship
companies may kick we should pre-
pare to protect ourselves. 1t Will not
do to admit strangers into our country at
inc llSh OF hliilug HOmc-IOlkS.
This view also obtains with congress
men, and it is quite certain that during the
year 1898 comparatively few immigrants
VIII be allowed TO come into this country.
That will reduce our risk, but will not re-
move IT entirely. First or second-cabin
passengers. men or women, who have
passed medical inspection at Liverpool
or Bremen, or Hayre OF Naples NAV bring
cholera 20 the United States. And il II
