one can doubt that he will be the most
famous man Of the century.
DR.. Nansen is quite remarkable man in
many respects. At the age Of twenty-one he
was appointed curator of the Museum at Ber-
gen. Six years later he headed a party Of
six young men. which, landing on the east
coast Of Greenland, was the first to cross that
continent over the great mer-de-glace that
had baffled many older and more experienced
explorers. He Is now but thirty-four years
old.
The prestige derived from this brilliant
achievement enabled him to secure friends
and funds for putting his present expedition
In the field. The Norwegian Parliament ap-
propriated about S52, 900 toward the expenses
Of the expedition and many private contribu-
lions were made, among them $4,000 from the
King.

of the crew are required to march a certain
number of times each day for exercise, while
the vessel is imbedded in the Ice, and all
ordinary labor Is suspended.

AMERICAN FLEET FOR KEEL.
Finest Squadron Sent to Europe Since the
Civil War.

Finest Squadron Sent to Europe Since the
Civil War.
The United States is to be represented at
the Kiel celebration. June 10, by the finest
American feet that hos visited Euro
pean waters since the Civil War,
headed by the armored cruiser
New York as flagship, and the triple-screw
fiier Columbia. which will be detached for
this purpose from Admiral Meades feet
with the addition of the San Francisco and
Marblehead. now in the Levant.
Admiral Kirkland, in charge of the Euro
pean station, will command the squadron.
The feet will impress European Nations with
the progress accomplished in rebuilding the
American Navy. The New York has no
superior for offensive and defensive pur-
poses, combined with speed, and the Colum-
bia excels all vessels except the Minneapolis
in speed and staying power.
Considerable political significance is at
tached to the order sending the New York
and Columbia to the North Sea and through
the new canal into the Baltic, where the last
American warship appeared on a mission Of
mercy, carrying corn for the starving peas
ants Of Russia. Extremely unusual are the
the visits of American warships to German
ports and the Scandinavian coast, and here
tofore the Baltic has been practically o
sealed sea to them.
The detachment of these two effective ves-
sells, the New York and the Columbia, from
the homo squadron, is taken as an additional
indication Of the condolences of the Admins
tration that the United States is in no danger
Of being involved In trouble over the affairs
Of American republics, and that the Cuban
and Nicaraguan disturbances will be settled
without our Intervention, unless diplomatic

The First Comm0ner of England.

The position of the British Speaker
is somewhat unfamiliar to the expert
ence of other Nations. He is the sp-
pointee OF the House itself by free
election, and while he is necessarily
subject to reelection OF the opening
of each new Parliament his reelection
has never been even opposed, except
on one occasion, during the long
period of two hundred years. Once
elected, therefore, the Speaker practi-
cally holds Office till he chooses to re-
sign. In no case is British Speaker
ever likely to be chosen from the ranks
of very active partisans; indeed, there
is no such case upon record. The
Government of the day is charged
with the duty of proposing a suitable
candidate, and his rejection by the
House would entail the resignation Of
the Ministry, but there is no reason
why he should even be selected from
the party of the Government. There
have been cases in which an opposi-
tion member of special personal fit
ness has been chosen, and it is a
curious fact that such course has
even become common in some of the
Australasian colonies, whose parlia-
mentary practice is scrupulously
framed upon the British model. To
be the ssFirst Commoner of England"
the representative of the representa-
tive Chamber which actually rules the
Empire, is of course an object of AM.
bition, and if a suitable candidate can
be found in the Government party he
is likely to be chosen; on the other
hand, it may be doubted whether it is
possible to point to any public posi-.
tion where personal fitness enters so
largely into the calculations of those
lntrusted with selection to an import.
ant office. It is encouraging to find
that the result has been that dignity
and impartiality have distinguished
the holders of the Office for hundreds
of years. Perhaps it is equally i'm
portant to find that the influence OF
these two moral qualities has been
found equal to the task of maintaining
order and curbing excitement during
centuries of National life where the
coercive powers vested IN the holder
of the office itself are so small as to
depend entirely for enforcement upoR

Insurgents Put the Governor Of tho Ma

Couriers from Tishomingo, the capital OF
the Chickasaw Nation. report that pitched
battle ragged between the forces of the Gov
ernment, under Moseley. and two hundred
insurrectionists. Six people were killed and
eight wounded, according to the report. The
greatest excitement prevailed.
The cause OF the outbreak Is bad blood
over political matters. There has long been
bitter feeling at the Chickasaw seat Of
government. Its origin dates back to the re-
fusal Of the Legislature at its last session to
recognize Willis Brown, Charles Brown and
Noah McGill as Sheriff5 Of the Nation. The
Legislature was seconded In its position by
the Governor.
Governor Moseley issued orders to all
Sheriffs, Constables and Deputies through
out the Nation to report to him at once
with arms. When the officers gathered
around the Governors house, 200 en-
ragged men, headed by McGill and the Brown
brothers, rushed from adjoining houses, and
a deadly riot followed. The mob took pos
session Of the capitol. Governor Moseley and
his official retinue escaped, by hard running,
to houses in the outskirts Of the town.
The Governor has called q special session
Of the Legislature, to take action upon the
existing state Of disorder. Tishomingo was
then virtually under the control Of a savage
mob, and white people were fleeing.

BIG BANK DEFALcATION.
Aymar Robs the Same Institution HI
Brother-in-Law Seely Mu1ct.

Brother-ln-Law Seely mulct.
The National Shoe and Leather Bank Of
New York City, which in November last was
robbed Of s954,OOO by Samuel c. seely, one
of its bookkeepers is again sufferer at the
hands of a defaulter. The amount taken
this time is 500, 900, and, strangely enough,
the robber, who has been arrested and who
has confessed, is Samuel E. Aymar, aged
sixty, q brother-in-law of Seely and an en-
ploye in the bank for the past twenty-five
years. ooo
The net loss to the bank will be S15, 900,
and this is provided for by guarantee fund
of $50, 900, especially set aside for such con-
tingency. Since the Seely defalcatlon the
bank has been through reorganization, and
to this fact is due the discovery OF Aymar 9
crooked work.
Aymar worked boldly. His desk adjoined
that Of the receiving teller. When there
was long row of depositors in ine-and
the bookkeeper's long connection with the
bank gave him personal acquaintance with
most Of the depositors-Aymar would say to
a depositor Immediately in front OF his
window:
"You needn't wait for the teller, Mr..
Blank, I'll take your deposit"
Glad to get through with his business as
quickly as possible, the depositor would
hand his pass book to Aymar, who would
make the credit and return the book. II the
depositor's name happened to be on Aymar s
ledger he would credit the amount on the
ledger, and then put so much OF the deposit
as was cash in his pocket. Then he would
charge to one of the large accounts on his
ledger the amount he had pocketed from the
deposit he had Just been good enough to
take in order to keep the depositor from
waiting,
