TWO MILLIONS OF
MONEY AND GOD CARRIED INDIANA
IN 1883

"It took two millions OF money and
God to carry Indiana for General Harri-
son in 1885," So said one OF the managers
OF the Republican campaign of that year.
He was giving me some of the secrets OF
the campaign, and they proved to be very
interestng-alm sensational. HIS re-
mark was not intended to be irreverent,
for the cam paign manager. though good
politician, is o church member and at
times pious. What he meant was that
two million dollars had been spent in
carrying Indiana for Harrison, and that
when he became president and the office
seekers were gathering thick about him
General HARRISON waived them off with
his famous declaration that "God had
done it, and that no gratitude was due
from him to the politicians.

much money was used in carrying Indl-
ana in 1885," continued the campaign
manager. "but it must have been up.

Antarctic region consumed much of the
attention of the delegates. This body of
land. 1t is estimated is 100000 square
miles in extent, which is twice the area
OF Europe. When it is remembered that
the total area of the United States. includ
ing the ST. 800 square miles OF Alaska. is
only 1902 800 square miles, the extent OF
this great polar continent can be imag-
ined.
1t will be the mission of Dr.. Cook to
find out, if possible, something definite
about this great body of land. II he sue
ceeds his name centuries hence may be
ranked with that of Columb bus. The Nor
wegian Borchgrevinck supplied the in
formation to the congress in London
about the new continent and 1t is
claimed that he is the only man who has
yet set foot upon it. In describing his
tour of exploration he states that he sail
ed south OF Possession Island. and in IA
degrees latitudeys GIFTED a new promon-
tory, which he named Cape Oscar. The
point at which he landed was peninsu-
Ia, which formed a breakwatar for the
inner bay. The temperature was high
the maximum being 25 degrees and the
minimum 46 degrees. Vast swarms of
penguins almost covered the peninsula
and signs of vegetation were discovered.
DR.. Cook may have plenty of company
IN his ntarctic journey, as the staten ents
OF the Norwegian have already led to
talk in London of organizig three south
polar expeditions. each one of which will
try to reach the pole from different di-
rections. Specimens of rock displayed
by the Norwegian indicate che presen ce
of g eat mineral wealth In the new CONT
nent and English commercial enterprise
will take hand in pushing the uiscover-
les.
DR.. Cook has his own ideas about how
the south pole can be reached. He has
already made two trips to the Arctic re :
gion. He was the surgeon and ethnolo-
gist of Lieutenant Peary's first trip north
in 1892, and is well acquainted with
the climatic conditions OF the frigid
zones.
1t is his intention to make the trip
south in two sailing vessels OF about 100
tons each. The vessls are all o. the type
employed by sealers, and are not more
than 100 feet in length. Steam whalers
are the vessels usually employed in these
expeditions, but DR.. Cook claims that
they have little or no advantage over the
sailing craft. 1t will take four months to
make the run of 5000 miles, from New
York to the CULTS OF Erebus and Terror,
which will bring the explorers there at
the beginning of the Antarctic summer
The sealers only require crew of five
men each, and the exploring party will
consist of five scientists, in addition to
DR.. Cook. This makes the total only six
teen, but DR.. Cook says that this nun per
can accomplish just as much US larger
party.

house and headquarters. II no safe
shelter for the sealers can be found, they
will be sent TO the Falkland islands,
with orders to return the following year.
The Nearest mainland to the gulf is the
southernmost tip OF South America 700
miles away. The explorers will have an
abundance of loneliness about them, a d
that is about all they will have with the
exception OF glaciers, ice foes and PEN
guins.
Dr. Cook mas an idea that this great
southern continent is peopled by race OF
human beings of which the rest OF the
world knows nothing. As Il basis OF this
idea, he saws that Captain Larsen, of O
Dundee sealer, found on Cape Seymour,
in latitude 81 degrees south. about fifty
balls of sand and clay, apparently made
by human hands, and perched upon pillars
OF the same material. An abundance OF
food. lie says, can be had there, and
there 10 no reason why human habitation
could not be made pleasant, with the
numerous occupations to be found in
the Antarctic.
1t will be one of the chief aims OF the
party to discover this unknown race, if it
exists. The real danger in the expedi-
ton will begin when the journey to the
interior is made over the snow and ice.
This has never yet been attempted, and
none Of the party will know what to ex-
pect.
Dr.. Cook has some Eskimo dogs on q
farm In Sullivan county. in New York,
but their long residence in this warm
climate has weakened them. and it is his
intention to touch at Patagonia and Sc
cure a number of the hardy shepherd
dogs of tnat county. These will be used
to draw the sledges when the journey to
the interior is begun. 1 bese sledges will
be of wood. and will be constructed after
the landing is made, when the necessities
of the sAntarctic ice and snow can 5e
