Welman said: Most Arctic expeditions
with which Americans are familiar ap-
proach the pole by the way of Smith
Sound. Even the English have chosen the
Greenland route for most of their efforts.
But we do not go that way, strewn with
wrecks of ships, bleaching bones and dead
hopes as it is. We choose rather that true
highway to the far north carved out of the
ice by the influence of the gulf stream in
the Norwegian Sea. The same warm
waters from the south that give to Nor
way a comparatively mild climate. with
ports open the year round in latitudes
which in Greenland are frozen fast nine or
ten months in the year, wash the western
shores Of the islands of Spitzbergen
and leave them moderately free of
ice, except in midwinter. Nor do we plan
to reach the north pole in a ship. The
vessel has not yet been built that will sail
TO the pole, or nearer it than 800 miles.

about three degrees as far as the farthest
ever achieved by man. In other words,
our journey proper begins at Spitzbergen,
substantially at the latitude in which other
efforts have come to an end.
The edge OF the ice pack, or the frozen
surface of the sea, will be found between
latitndes 80 and 81. The farther north it
is the better we shall be pleased, for the
steamer, fitted for ice working, commanded
by broRZed and fearless master, to whom
the danger of ice navigation is an old
story, quickly carries us to the margin of
the ice and deposits US, with our boats,
sledges and aceouterments, upsn its sur
face Our steamer is not to enter the ice.
1t is not to engage in combat with the all
conquering king of the north. which has
vanquiShed craft innumerable and which
stands like stone wall. barring all prog
ress by means of ships into his dominiops.
The ship which carried us in is not to be
placed in any danger at all-at least not
in more danger than is incident to naviga-
tion of the ocean in any part of the
world. Its duty is to gain advantage by the
opening caused by the gulf stream, by
the lee shore of Spitzbergen, to run US
accessible region and then turn back to the
headquarters which we have established at
the land near by to serve during The re-
mainder of the summer as dispatch
boat to and from Norway and in the au-
tumn to pick US up and return US to civi1-
zation and home.
Between the 10th and the 18th day of May
we expect to be placed upon the margin of
the ice. We shall set out on our march
across the ice with fourteen men
and a total weight Of about $500
pounds in boats, sledges, instruments,
clothing, fuel and food. In round numbers
we shall have about 100 pounds per unit OF
power, or to ca ch man and dog. Such
load experience has shown can be taken
forward at a single march without the ne
cesslty OF retraversing. except now and
then where the difficulties Of the road are
extraordinary. Ii this shall prove to be

but which are believed to exist to the north

Twenty-Five days will carry us to point
farther north than man has ever reached,
and only one-half of the time which we
may prudently use in the advance will
have been consumed. With twenty-five
days more of safe season for the north

think we can get? We Will give you the

upon an ice foe, in which case they
believe the explorers are in most danger
Gus position Should the forebodings of
the Arctic shippers prove true. and il the
RaGnavald Jarl was crushed without
warning, il is probable that the members
of the expedition were unable TO take any
large quantities of supplies with them
upon the ice foe. even supposing they sue
ceeded in escaping thereto.
When questioned regarding the effective
ness of the aluminium boats in such an
EN- mergency the Arctic captains express the
belief that they would be of no use In such
pack ice.
The last heard of the expedition it was
at Danes Island, eff the northwest coast of
Spitzenbergen, where Professor Oyer re-
NAMED alone with dog to guard the pro-
vision department esta ablished there.

received the news OF Professor Oyer's dis
tress ON Danes Island from Captain Jo-
hannesen of the sleop Anna. FieIden or
dered the Saide TO Danes Island, where
Oyer was found, almost dead. Upon
table was found letter containing bitter
reproaches against Wellman. who, accord
ing to Oyer, promised that a man should
stay with him. But it appears that at the
last moment Wellman decided that man
could not be spared. In spite Of his suffer-
ing and the thought that death was hover
ing over him, the professor refused to be
taken off Danes Island. The Saide left
quantity of provisions and medicines.

10 an inquiry has been received:
CHICAGO, July "a
To the General Manager Of the associated
Press: The fact that there was so much foe
ice this year led Mr.. Welman to believe that
his vessel, the Rahnavald Jarl. could get no
further north than any ship had ever reached
before This information was corroborated by
great majority of navigatorS whom he saw
just before he left Reports that come about
the loss of the expedition arise from the fact
that fishing and other vessels have not seen the

In ordinary seasons. Private cable grams to the
Herald from Tromsoe say that even If the ves-
sci is lost there is no reason for anxiety for the
crew, which is undoubtedly on the Ice some
where making its way toward the pole. When
Mr.. Wellman left Tromsoe il was with the I'm.
derstaDding that the vessel should come back
and bring reports OF the expedition up TO the
time that he could send messengers back from
the interior, and undoubtedly the vessel is
waiting at some point for such communication,
He arranged that the vessel should return

With perfect weather prevailing, and

week occurred last evening at the fall

seen in that enormous emporium were
so diversified that it should, and surely
did please the vast throng of visitors
that attended from s to 10 p. m. There
is an old saying of what is one mans

last evening every spectator was
delighted, for in an establishment
where mast everything known to the
mercantile world is handled. each in
dividual is sure to find something of in
terest in one or other department. Such
was the case last night. The artistic
arrangement of the stock ON the SIX floors
| embelished with plants, and the rendi-

The Kid Club Grows.

The Young Mems Central Democratic

night at their club rooms. Those pres

of selecting good delegates to the county

heated discussion between Messrs

the advantage of holding weekly meet
ings of the club in place of fOrtnightly.
The question of securing additional ac-

consideration until the next meeting.
1t is proposed that the club hold grand

of the county ticket. The committee on
