Near the Head.

Fifty-four cadets yesterday babe fare
well to the United States Military Academy
at West Point and started out to enjoy the
furlough which will precede their being
commissioned as officers of the army. The
second cadet to receive a diploma from the
hands Of Adjutant General Ruggles was
VIM. ]. Barden, a Washington boy and a
graduate of the Washington High School,
1t was confidently expected by many Of
Mr.. Barden's friends that he would grad
uate from the academy at the head of his
class. for he was No. in his first year and
No. 1 in his second and third years. A
hairs breadth Of difference, however, in
the markings on one subject resulted in
victory for another man. There is con-
ISOLATION in the fact that the academy rec
ords do not disclose any better showing
than that made by the two leaders. Mr.
Barden Is the product of Washington's
public school system, than which there Is
none better.

Walter Wellman's Trfp,

Gen. A. W. Greedy, in McClurs's Magazine
without doubt the most interesting and
promising OF the present polar expeditions
Is that led by Mr.. Walter Wellman Of Wash
ington. The route and plan followed by Mr..
Wellman are integral parts of the scheme
advanced by Parry in his letter to Sir John
Barrow, November Is, 1S45 Parry proposed
wintering in a ship. whence he would, with
a sledge party leave the north Of Spitzber-
gen 'in the course Of the month Of April,
when the Ice would present one hard, I'M
broken surface. over which it would not be
dfmcult to make good thirty miles per day.
At this season the ice would probably be
stationary. The intention would be to COM
plete the enterprise in the month of May,
before any disruption Of the ice or any ma
terial softening of the surface had taken
place" Wellman, however. eliminates what
the writer thinks to be the NEST promising
idea, a wintering ship whereby, says Parry,
IAN opportunity would be afforded during
two seasons. Of stretching far to the north
ward in the ship. should the season prove
favorable"
With three other Americans as scientific
assistants. and ten picked Norwegian sail
ors, Wellman who is now In Norway leaves
Tromso early in May, 1894. for Danes Is
land about 20 degrees and IS minutes north,
on the northwest coast of Spitzbergen.
Wellman's steamer will not stop at Danes
Island on its outward voyage, but will push
northward to the margin of the impene-
trable fce-pack, upon the surface of which
will be landed the travelling party, with
boats. sledges, dogs and accouterments.
The steamer then returns to its selected
haven at Danes Island, where food and
fuel are to be landed and a house erected.
The plan further contemplates the return
OF the exploring party to Spitzbergen about
the middle of September, whence the whal-
ing steamer should bring them to Tromso or
hammerfest by the middle of October.
In 1877 Parry attempted over this route a
similar journey, during which he reached
81 degrees and As minutes north
TO succeed, the Wellman party must be
favored with unusually smooth ice, an I'M
broken. fixed pack, very open sea to the
north OF Spitzbergen, strong, continued
southerly gales. which would set the ice
pack to the northward
The writer has always held this to be the
most promising route by which to obtain a
very high latitude, but he has thought that
success must be the result of chance rather
than OF effort. No vessel that was ever
built could penetrate the ice-felds and no
body Of men could ever hope to reach the
fce-fioes to the northward of the eighty
third parallel, to the north Of Spitzbergen,
under ordinary ice conditions. With IA
voring ice and wind. however, any we'll
found steam whaler would reach the limits
Of the loose and dsintegrating ice, whether
1t be IN latitude "a degrees or 81 degrees.
