tain natural facilities in frozen seas, of
which all early explorers were ignorant.
The circumstances upon which these
new hopes are based are connected with
the loss of the Jeanette. Exactly three
years after she sunk there was found near
Julianshaab, i'll Greenland, several articles
belonging to the Jeanette which had been
carried to the coast of Greenland from the
opposite side of the Polar sea on a piece of
Ice. This fact at once aroused curiosity,
and DR.. Nansen will attempt to fathom the
NJ ystery as to what unknown current bore
the message from bering straits to Green
land. DR.. Nansen's expedition will en-
deavor TO reaiIze the hope of a direct
route across the apex of the Arctic ocean.
The expedition will consist of ten or
twelve men. The Norwegian government
subscribes two-thirds of the cost of the ex-
pedi.ion and King Oscar and others will
privately donate the remainder. The ex-
pedition will leave Norway in June and
proceed direct to Nova Zembla.

The La ousyra Incident.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 12.-Secretary
Foster said today: The state department.
is still without information concerning
the recent experience of the merchant
steamer Philadelphia at La Guayra. Until
Minister Scruggs makes report he
refuses absolutely to discuss the
matter or in any way intimate
what course the department will pursue.
Assuming. however, that the particulars
given in the recent cable are correct, there
is grave doubt in the minds of officials as
to whether Minister Scruggs was justified
in directing the captain of the Philadelphia
to refuse to surrender the refugee Miiares.
