MAY JOIN THE PRESIDENT.
OutcaIt, the Cashier Of a Wrecked
Bank, Indicted.
BIatkmaiI Now Appears to Figure in the
Collapse Of the Capital National
Savings Concern.

OMAHA, Jan. 15.-As q consequence of the
wrecking of the Capital National Bank, at
Lincoln last year, through which over
81, 900, 900 was stolen and President Mosher
sent to the penitentiary for five years, the
Federal Grand Jury to-day returned an in
dictment against r. c.. Outcalt, promi-
nent Lincoln citizen, for aiding Mosher's
wrecking plan. Outcalt was cashier of the
Capital National Bank.
The Indictment was found after taking
the testimony of Receiver Hayden, Bank
Examiner Lyngs and the directors, depos-
itors and employees OF the bank for four
weeks or SO. The theory Of the depositors
had been that not Mosher alone has been
culpable. They have believed that Out
calf, at least, should be brought up to de-
termine whether he should not have op-
posed Mosher's scheme to plumber the
vaults.
Outcalt and his friends appear to have
been recently aware that the case was I'M
der investigation, and Outcalt made several
trips to this city prior to the holidays, as
did also some of his relatives.
After the holiday recess Judge Dundy
called the Grand Jury before him and told
it he had heard that some person, supposed
to be an outsider, had been blackmailing
parties in a certain case and pretending to
be able to control the Grand Jury and keep
it from Indictment if he were paid $4,000.
The court wanted this person exposed and
punished, if there was any law to reach
him. This story is alleged to have come
from those trying to bleed Outcalt. For
being mixed up in the failure Of the Ponca
National Bank ex-Congressman George w.
E. Dorsey and his brother were indicted.
The Grand Jury has also voted indictments
against Mosher anew. 1t is said several
persons of prominence in Nebraska con-
nected with recent bank failures have also
been indicted,

Zembla was good, except for wind and fog.
Gooseland, in Nova Zembla, was sighted
in the fog on July %, and the vessel turned
south, meeting the first ice on the 9th, in
latitude 60 deg. so min. north, longitude
90 deg. east, about ten miles north of Kol-
gueff Island. We forced our way through,
the Fran proving splendid ship in the
ice, and arrived at Jugor Strait, a distance
of $50 miles from the point where the ice
was encountered on July %. The vessel
sent out with coal had not arrived; but we
have sufficient coal, and we sail into the
Kara Sea tonight. We have thirty-four
splendid sledge-dogs from Siberia on
board. The Jugor Strait has been open
since July 3, and there seems to be little
ice in the southern part of the Kara Sea,
favorable wind having carried it north
ward. l consider our prospects very favor
able, and we shall make our way eastward
most rapidly along the coast. Unless the
ice proves unfavorable we hope to reach
the New Siberian Islands before the end of
August, and if this should be accomplished
look on our success as almost certain. If
there is time we shall call at the Olenek
River, and probably be able to send news
from there"
But the daring explorer did not reach the
Olenek River as he predicted, and nothing
further has been heard from him.

eled across Greenland without an overcoat,
being simply attired in blue serge suit.
On his head he wore, iauntily set on one
side, round Norwegian cap. His impedi-
menta included battered and venerable
portmanteau, studded with brass nails,
which becomes at once an object of inter-
est when it is explained that it accompanied
the explorer throughout his historical jour
ney across Greenland.
DR.. Nansen's theories Of reaching the
north pole are based on the experiences,
especially, of the ill-fated Jeanette, which,
after being put into the ice by Lieutenant
de Long, near Wrangel Land, was allowed
to drift backward and forward, but always
northward with the ice, until she sank to
the north of the New Siberian Islands,
when she was crushed between the ice foes,
and her officers and crew had to desert her
and make their way to the Siberian coast.
They all, except the boats party COM
manded by Chief Engineer Melville, were
lost. One boat was lost in gale, and De
Long himself and his companions persisted
from hunger and cold on the dreary delta
OF the Lena River. They had reached to
within five or six hundred miles of the pole
when the Jeanette sank, and while the
sbipWrecked men were on their retreat
toward the Siberian coast they found
themselves often carried northward by the
dutt OF the ice, until finally they were en-
abled to take to the boats.
IL was IN the year 1879 that the Jeanette
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-01-16

that the Fran has been crushed in the
ice and that DR.. Nansen and his party are
Tetreating.
The opinion is held by other travellers,
the Pail Mall Gazette also says, that DR..
Nansen, after a year OF drifting abandoned
lis vessel and is returning by the nearest
route in expectation of meeting a relief
expedition.
DIR. Nansen left Norway in the Fran
in June, 1893, and on July d of the same
year a telegram from Berelevaag, on the
north coast of Norway, reported his pro-
gramme, as follows: To the New Siberian
Islands and thence directly north until the
Fran should be imbedded in the ice and
drift along with it, following the west
coast Of any land that might be met with.
On August o, 1898, he sent dispatch
from Nardo which he had written at Chara-
bowa, in the Jugor Strait, on the I'd of
the same month, announcing that he wBs
about to sail into the Kara Sea and that
the Fran had behaved splendidly.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-01-16

ram the ship into the ice as far as possible
and stick there. Having rammed the ship
into the ice for the winter-possibly for
ever, as I don't expect we shall be able to
move until we reach open water on the
other side of the pole-we shall have to be
content for the time being with a policy of
mastery inactivity. We shall be continu-
ally moving in a northerly direction. As
sisted by nature, instead of fighting against
her, we expect to be taken by the drifting
ice foes right across the polar region into
the East Greenland Sea, between Spitzber-
gen and Greenland, having in this way
reached and passed the pole. We take
with US provisions for five years, and it is
possible that this may be the period during
which we shall be at the mercy of the ice.
may only be away two years, but of this
I feel certain, that shall be back by the
end of five years"
The Kara Sea has been the grave of
many stanch vessels. Once in every four
or five years it is found comparatively
navigable, while in other years it is full of
drift ice.
In August last DR.. hansen sent the fol-
lowing message from Vardo. 1t was writ
ten in the Jugor Strait. This strait (some-
times called the Pat Strait is channel
separating Walgaitz Island from the main
land of Russia, and is the most southerly
of the four possible entrances into the Kara
Sea.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Navy De
partment is making an effort to get the
new cruiser Olympia ready for sea. The
vessel is now in the possession of the
builders at the Union Iron Works at San
Francisco, and although she had sue
cessful speed and appliance trial many
months ago, owing to delays in the de-
livery of her armor and some of the guns
the department has not yet been able to

containing supplementary charges against
Judge Kicks and involving ex-senator H.
B. Payne and Judge Stevenson Burke. He
asked for an investigation of the charges.
On motion of White CD of Indiana a
bill was passed for the relief of Dennis Nc
Intyre
McCreary CD of Kentucky called up
the bill authorizing Lieutenant-Colone
Ferwood and Surgeon George II. Penrose
to accept certain testimonials from the
Argentine Republic and it was passed;
also authorizing Commander Dennis w.
Mullen of the United States navy to ac-
cept medal from the Government of
Chile.
The House then went into committee of
the whole for the consideration of the In
dian appropriation bill, which carries
$649, S20-$229, 900 less than the estimate
and reduction of $238, 738 compared with
the appropriation for the current fiscal
year. Holman, chairman of the Indian
committee, who was in charge of the bill,
explained the changes made. The changes
included an increase in the appropriation
for Indian schools OF $125, $50, making the
total amount $1,125, $50 Of this amount
but so per cent was to be used for contract
schools in pursuance of the policy recently
inaugurated looking to the intimate sub
stitution of the Government for contract
schools. The subject was further dis
cussed by Little CD of Arkansas, Bowers

Dakota and Brosius (R.) of Pennsylvania,
but no progress was made with the bill,

NOT AN AMERICAN POLICY.
MI. Wilson's Committee Yields to the
Threats Of Germany.
Incidentally a Blow Is Struck at the
Sugar Trust in the Removal Of
the Differential.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The House Ways
and Means Committee to-day decided to
report to the House the Wilson bill to re-
move the tenth of cent pound differen-
tial on sugar imported from countries hav-
ing an export bounty, which has elected
protests from Germany, Austria and other
nations, and the repeal of which was rec
commended by the President. No action
was taken on the bill to increase the tax
on beer.
Chairman Wilson took the lead in advo-
eating the bill, urging the arguments which
have been advanced by Secretary Gresham,
that the differential violates the most-fa-
vored-nation clause in treaties with Ger
many, Austria and certain other nations.
''The differential," said Wilson, 'puts
money into the pockets of the sugar trust
at the expense of our cattle interests" He
gave it as his opinion and that of the ad-
ministration that there could be no shadow
of doubt that the exclusion of American
meat from Germany on alleged sanitary
grounds was inspired by the sugar duty,
and said the retaliatory measures against
this duty had already done great injury to
American commercial interests and that
still more sweeping acts of retaliation were
threatened by Austria and other countries.
The Republicans opposed the bill. Reed
had some sarcastic remarks to make about
the insufficiency of the revenue provided
by the new tariff, and said it would be
folly to make changesNwhich might de-
crease the Governments income. Other
Republican members deplored what they
termed lack of Americanism in the
policy of the State Department. They
argued that the differential did not violate
treaties, and that bad precedent would
be established by permitting foreign Gov
ernments to force legislation by threats.
No formal vote was taken and the names
were not recorded,

FIGHT FOE THE CAPITOL.
Proposition to Remore 1t From st. Joseph
to SedaJiG.


KANSAS CRY, Jan. ia special to a
local paper from Jefferson City says: The
State capital is agitated by the discovery
that it will have to fight an organized
lobby sent here in the interest of the joint
and concurrent resolution to remove the
Capitol Bills have already been intro
duced in both branches of the Legislature
for change of location, and it is said
Sedalia which has been fighting for twenty
years to secure vote of the people on such
a proposition, is again behind the present
deal.
On as good authority as Speaker Russell
of the House it is stated that syndicate
of Chicago capitalists had taken option on
10000 acres of Sedalia lands and would
send at once strong lobby here to insist
upon the passage of the joint and con-
current resolution to remove. If ever the
question of removal is submitted the Pettis
County city is supremacy confident that it
will win
