PeriIs Of the WeIIman Polar
Expedition Graphically
Described.
CAPTAIN B0TT0LFsEN's. STORY.
The Crew Narrowly Escaped
When the Vessel Was
Wrecked.

IROMsOE, Norway, Aug. S.-Captaln
Bottolfsen, who brought to this place
the news Of the loss of the Wellman
Polar expedition steamer Ragnvald Jarl,
gives in an interview further details of
the adventures Of the Wellman party.
He says that the expedition reached
Walden Island on May y, when the
pack ice was becoming troublesome.
Mr.. Well1nan and his party started
north on sledges on May "a. On May
% the screwing Of the ice commenced
in earnest. Near the steamer were ice
bergs which lowered as high as the yard
arms Of the vessels masts. While the
crew were drinking their afternoon COT
fee on that day the steamer was sud-
denly crushed by the ice as if it were a
matchbox. The water rushed in with
terrific force, and in a few minutes the
vessel was a complete wreck. The crew
in the meantime had escaped to the
shore. The men had been occupied for
several days previous in bringing provis.
ions and the aluminium boats ashore.
They were now
Obliged to Take Shelter
in q great dog kennel until they were
able to build hut from the wreckage Of
the steamer. Through a hole which had
been made in the side of the wrecked
vessel the party was enabled to save
quantity of coal and other useful arti-
cles. An express party WIS sent after
MIR. Wellman and overlook him and his
companions at Mattens island. Mr..
Wellman, Dodge and others returned to
Walden island to hold council. Cap
tain Bottolfsen, Webfeldt and asailor
volunteered to go and seek for sailing
vessels to the southwark. Mr.. Wellman
resumed his journey northward on May
81, but Bottolfsen and his party were
unable to start on their trip owing to
the heavy pack ice, and were still de-
tanned at the island Oh June %, when
Sando, Iverson, Winship and Heyerdahl
returned from Mr.. Wellman owing to
lack Of provisions and to troubles in re-
gard to ice and water, with orders and
mails from Wellman, who had gone for
ward. On June 81 Captain Bottolfsen
and his party started southwark in
search Of sealers, hauling behind them

ing where there was open water. In
this way they travelled $50 miles along
the Spitzbergen islands.
Captain Bottolfsen says that during
the journey along the coast his party
were able to shoot few polar bears and
reindeer. He says that Captain Peder-
sen proved a splendid ice master. Bot.
tolfsen is high in his praise of alumni
mum boats. The dogs he had with him
proved useless, becoming footsore, and
had to be shot. He says that Sando
and his companions left Wellman on
June II, six miles east of Cape Platen,
on his way to Ribs island. All his
party were well. He says it is probable
that the mate, two. engineers, stoker
and cook, who'were left at Walden ISL
and, will be rescued by sealers as soon
as the ice and weather becomes favor

WHY RkE They HERE?

Considerable Speculation as to What Ha-
waiian Commissioners Want.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-There is some
uncertainty manifested in congressional
circles to know the exact purpose of the
visit of Messrs. Parker, Cummings and
Wideman, the royalist ENJOYS from Ha-
waii. While they talked with various
members of congress, they have not
confided to any one definite impression
of the ends which they hope to accom-
plish by their missions. In a general
way they have reviewed the various
wrongs attending the overthrow of the
monarchy from their standpoint, and
they have complained Of the interference
OF Mr.. Stevens, which they say
brought about the downfall.
They represent that the present
government cannot be considered re-
public, and are not satisfied with the
attitude of Mr.. Willis, who is said to be
as friendly to the American element as
was his predecessor. But they do not
ask the members to do anything in be-
half of the deposed queen, nor do they
state definitely why they are here. One
Of the two objects is suggested by mem
bers of congress to have brought the
delegation to urge the administration to
carry out it's abandoned idea Of the res
toration of the queen, or to make ar
engagements for pecuniary redress for
her. IN
The commissioners have expressly dis
claimed either Of these purposes, and
their objects are yelled in mystery.

west, pulled into the union station after
having enjoyed q most thrilling exper-
fence on the plains Of Indiana. An at
tempt was made to hold up the train at
Kessler, Ind, upon the identical spot
that the train was held. up last fall. The
train was just approaching a split
switch at Kessler, when the engineer
noticed that the switch was turned, SO
as to run the train on the siding. "A big
obstruction Of ties and lumber was piled
upon the siding few rods ahead of his
engine. The obstruction did not appear
to be impossible, and
The Engineer Put on All Steam
and dashed through the pile, passing
safely on to the main track through the
split switch at high rate of speed. AS
the train passed the obstruction, the
engineer noticed a group of masked men
and as the engine cleared the track of
all distractions, the would be highway
men fired several shots into the train,
none Of which, however, took effect
The United States express car was at
tached to the train and had on board a
large amount Of money. It is thought
that this was known to the desperadoes,
who attempted to hold up the train.

only be a period of two or three years
before we should have prosperity beyond
ANYTHING that we have eYer known. Our
meat bill for one year would double the
actual cash in this city. One years saw
ing of our foreign.bought corn, hay, oats
and meat would make money a drug IN
markets."
The facts so forcibly stated by Mr.
Lamar have often been commented upon
nv the Manufacturers Record. They
cannot be too often pressed upon the at
tcntion Of every man concerned As to the
south's progress and prosperity. Fortu-
natelv the south has this year been blessed
with an abundant corn crop. Its corn
will exceed in value its cotton crop, and
il will DO more to increase the solid
growth of the south than even cotton
at 20 cents a pound would DO The south
and its agricultural interests are on solid
ground. Bright, indeed, will be the future
if its farmers can only lie induced To con
tinue the policy of the last two years of
raising their W food supplies. High
priced cotton would almost inevitably
bring about a change, and so the Manu-
facturers' Record believes that its cotton
is not commanding high prices,
In the earliest times of purchase a wo-
man was bartered for useful goods or for
services rendered to her father. In the
latter way Jacob purchased Rachel and
her sis er Leah. This was a Beena mar
riage, where a man, as in Genesis, leaves
his father and his mother and cleayes
unto his wife and they become one flesh
or kin-the woman's. The price Of a
bride in British Columbia and Vancouver
Island varies from $50 to $40 worth of
articles. In Oregon an Indian gives for
a wife horses, blankets or buffalo robes
in California, shell money or horses; in
Africa, cattle. A poor Damara will sell
a daughter for one COW Il richer kat11r
expects from three to thirty. With the
Banyai, if nothing be given, her family
claim her children. In Uganda, where
no marriage recently existed, she may be
obtained for half a dozen needles, or a
coat, or a pair of shoes. An ordinary
price is a box Of percussion caps. In
other parts, a goat or a couple of buck
skins will buy a girl. Passing to Asia,
we find her price is sometimes five TO
fifty roubles, or at others, a cartload of
wood or hay. A princess may be pur
chased-fbr three thousand rOubles. In
Tartary, a can be obtained fer a
few pounds of butter, or where a rich
man gives twenty small Oxen a poor man
may succeed with a pig. In FIJI, her
equivalent is a whales tooth or a musket.
These, and similar prices elsewhere, are
eloquent testimony to the little value a
savage sets on his wife.
