SEEKING THE POLE.

Latest from the Wellman North Pole Ex.
pedition-Battling with the Ice
TRoNsoE, Norway, Aug. News of
the Wellman polar expedition has been
received. 1t was brought by the sealer
Malygen, Capt. Petersen, which arrived
at Tromsoe yesterday with news dis
patches from the expedition, and also
with Capt. Bortolfsen and three sailors
of the steamer RagnvaldJarl, which
carried the Wellman party, but which
has since been wrecked. Capt. Bot
tolfsen furnishes the following narra-
tive of the experiences of the expedi-
ton:
After several battles with winter ice.
the Ragnvald-Jarl arrived on May IL at
Table island. one of the Seven Island
group. The ice, however. compelled a
return to Walden island, where Mr..
Wellman left the ship, on May "a, with
thirteen men forty dogs and ITO days
provisions After the party had estab-
lished depot they proceeded eastward
a distance of 60 miles, thence north
east, hoping to reach the land that is
believed to exist in that direction.
Up to the day of the departure of the
sledge party the expedition had had
good weather, the worst being only
20 degrees below zero.
On May %, four days after Wellman
and his companions left, the Ragnvald-
Jarl was broken up by the ice and to-
tally lost. The men in charge of her
managed to save some of the stores. A
message was sent to Wellman, inform
ing him of the catastrophe, and it
reached him at Martens island. Mr..
Wellman, c. S. Dodge and two others
then returned to Walden island. With
material taken from the wreck of the
ship they built a good house to accom-
modate the crew and as precaution in
case the expedition was compelled to
winter at Walden.
The latest news received of Mr.. Well
man was of June - date. when Mr..
Winship, member of the party, with
one man, left the party at spot 6
miles east of Cape Platen, where the
explorers had met with impossible ice
and were waiting for open water. All
were well.

PACIFIC, No., Aug. 4-The Frisco

robber near Eureka. He was IN the
express car when the messenger, L. ID.
Ferguson, returned to it from the for

way bills, and sprang from behind the
safe, revolver in hand, as the messen-
ger entered. Ferguson grasped the re-

through his thumb and entering his
left shoulder. He returned the fire,
but owing to the confusion it was i'm

wrenched the rails from their fasten-
