81 900 900 of cash working capital in ad-
dition to the plants represented by the
stocks and bonds.
The capitalization of the Chicago Pack
ing and Provision Company is s2,000,0o0
and tho International Packing and Provis-
ion Company - 500 900. In addition to
that the two companies have a little over
81 ,0O0. 900 of bonds outstanding.

on. nAssen's ARCTIC ralp.


LoNpox, Nov. 1.-The representatives
of the Associated Press has held an inter
view with the famous Norwegian explorer,
DIR. Nansen, regarding the plans for his
Arctic voyage. His scheme is essentially
different from the plans followed by the
other explorers in the frozen regions of the
North. Hitherto, with one possible excep-
ton, all attempts to reach the North Pole
have been made in defiance of the obsta-
eles of nature. Now an attempt will be
made to ascertain whether nature herself
has not supplied means of solving the diff
ficulty, and whether there is not, after all,
possibility of reaching the North Pole by
utilizing certain natural facilities in these
frozen seas of which all early explorers
were ignorant.
The circumstances upon which these new
hopes are based may be summarized thus :
The Jeannette expedition of lS79-sl and
the loss of that vessel seemed to sound the
knell of all expeditions 10 reach the pole
by Behring straits, but in June, 1854, ex-
aetiy three years after the Jeannette sank,
there were found near Julianshaab, in
Greenland, several articles which had be-
longed to to the Jeannette and had been
abandoned at the time of its wreck by the
crew, and which had been carried to the
coast OF. Greenland from the opposite side
of the polar sea on piece of ice.
The fact at once aroused curiosity AS to
how 1t accomplished that mysterious voy-
age across the Arctic ocean and as to what
unknown current had born that significant
and informing message from Behring
Straits to Greenland. II is thought highly
probable that there is a comparatively short
and direct route across the Arctic ocean by
way of the North Pole, and that nature
herself has supplied mears Of commune
cation, however uncertain, across il. DR..
Nansen's expedition will endeavor to real
Use these hopes of direct route across the
apex of the Arctic ocean. The expedition
will consist of 10 or IL men.
In the course of the interview DIR. Nasen
referred to Lieut.. Peary's expedition. He
said There are no points of similarity
between his expedition and mine. Lieut..
Peary aimed to reach the northernmost
point of Greenland. My expedition is to
pass the pole and traverse the unknown po-
lar regions. Lieut.. Peary's work was mar
velously well done and fully agree with
his report made to the Philadelphia Acade
my of Sciences that two or three we'll
equipped men could reach any point in
Greenland. think | must cable him that
there is a mistake in his alleged remark
about the use of railway N Greenland.
| will take with me on my expedition five
years provisions. We may only be away
two years but | feel certain that We will re-
turn in FIVE. The total cost of the expedi-
tioh is at yet unknown. The Norwegian
government will subscribe two-thirds of the
cost and King Osca and others will private
ly donate the remainder. The expedition
will leave Norway in June and proceed di-
rectly to Nova Zembla.'
