Nansen's drift Of 35 months through the
Siberio-Arctic segment, without discovering
any signs Of land or finding his transpolar
current, has definitely eliminated that region
from further consideration as q possible
polar route.
Nansen Is u powerful and able man, ,physi-
callv and mentally. His expedition was
most ably planned and most superbly fitted
out His unique ship, the Fran, was sue
cess. and succeeded in accomplishing what
no other ice imprisoned ship in that region
has ever done before, self preservation. He
met with no mishap TO give rise to Ifs, " but
was halted-ship and self-short of the goal,
by obstacles which no human ingenuity or
energy could overcome.
Nansen has won the barren though highly
priced honor of "highest north. not by a
margin so narrow as to give rise to serious
doubts, but by magnificent leap, which
shows concusively the force of the man and
the superbness of his plans and equipment
He has shown the force of my always re.
iterated assertion that the leader of an Arctic
expedition should always be at the head OF
the advance party An Arctic party cannot
be commanded from ship or house In tho
rear.
He has. am happy to say, verified my
repeated prophecy that be would return in
safety. And he has accomplished a most
important object, the elimination, as above
noted, of the Siberio-Arctic segment from
further consideration. My sncerest con-
gratulations to the daring, brilliant success

There remain, then, the Franz Josef land
and the Greenland routes, on neither Of
which has the land limit been reached. On
the former Jackson is working with dogged
determination, but IL he has achieved no
very considerable northing in two seasons
work he is scarcely likely to make an extra
ordinary squirt in the third.
Yet favorable conditions may enable him
to beat Nansens record. He has yet year
OF grace. If he does not succeed it will
probably be the quietus of the Franz josef
route.

son. "For." said he. "if the water does not
rise before cold weather, the natural recad-
Ing, which comes late every spring, will next
year dry up the rest of the lake region"
And yet through all this the water board
does not worry bit. Superintendent Walk
or told a reporter that while the water this
year is trihe lower than normal low water,
1t is not within ten inches of the lowest
mark at this time in 1894. and there was no
danger Of water famine in that year, or
the season following. The daily consump-
tion of water is about $500, 600 gallons,
which does not increase AS rapidly each
year as one might imagine.
The people of Manchester need not fear a
water famine. for, while such thing Is not
impossible. neither Is at at all probable.
During the last month very little rain has
follen, the average rainfall being far below
the average for the month OF September.
and as lake Mas 'abesic has a watershed of
forty square miles, this falling Off in rain Is,
OF course, the chief reason for the present
condition of affairs.
Certainly Massabesc shores present a
strange appearance. On the back pond, OPP
posite Bog View. Il long strip of land juts
from the water about 300 feet from the
shore. Between this new island and the
bank, hundreds of black rocks and boulders
stand out omnously on the surface Of the
water, among which are anchored dozen
or more boats. All the way around the
shore of the back pond the wharves OF the
cottagers are high and dry. and some of
them many feet from the shore.
The present shore lines on both ponds, are
from forty to 100 feet nearer the centre OF
the ponds than the old lines. On the front
pondthe steamboat piers have been extended
further into the lake. The channel near the
old wharf. used b. the steamer Lone Star Is
less than four feet deep, and all around II
the water is so shallow that to run small
boat to the wharf at that point would be out
OF the question.

his arrival.
There was rumor several weeks ago that
Mr.. Whitney and Mrs. Randolph were en-
gagged, but it did not receive general
credence then. They decided upon the
date Of the marriage last week, and the Ell
gagement was announced Sunday.
Mrs. Randolph has been known socially
MS sprightly and handsome woman. Not
withstanding the exactiOns of society, she
has devoted much time to charitable work,
chiefly among the poorer class of shop girls.
She has been an active worker In that di-
rection in New York, under the guidance Of
the Rev. DR.. Rainsford.
Mr.. Whitney's New York residence is one
OF the finest, even in a neighborhoOd of such
palatial buildings as the homes of the Van
derbilts and other of Americas richest fami-
lies. When president Cleveland received LII
Hung Chang in this house 1t was said that
there were no more suitable rooms In the
country for a state reception.
MIR. Whitney is now 81 years old, although
he looks younger, and is usually spoken OF
as one of the young men in politics. He is
well-bred man of good New England stock,
his ancestor of eight generations back John
Whitney, having been one of the founders
of Watertown, Mass, his grandfather a brig
adler general In the American revolution
and his father collector of the port of Bos-
ton, while on his mothers side he is de-
cended from governor Bradford ofthe Plym-
outh colony.

LEADVILLE STRIKE EN- DED.
Miners Willing to Return at Old
Schedule.

LEADVILLE, Colo, Sept. 30-The great
miners strike, which has kept G.eadville in
turmoil for nearly two months, and which
resulted in the killing of two men and the
subsequent placing of the city under mar
tial law, is ended.
meeting of the strikers was held last
night under the supervision of the militia,
and after a stormy session, 1t was finally
decided that the men return to work at the
old schedule OF prices, providing the mine
owner would agree to give them their old
places. A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the mine-owners, and as it is gener-
ally believed that outside of the one or two
mines that have started up with non-union
men, the old men will be taken back, no
further trouble is expected.
The strike was the outcome Of the organ
ization of miners by the western federation
of miners, and almost every mine worker
was in the union when their demands were
made and refused. The miners asked 50 a
day for all classes of workmen, including
surface and underground men. This the
owners declared they would not pay. and
nearly all of them closed down, several even
allowed the pumps to stop. The employers
remained willing to continue paying wages
which had prevailed up to that time. Under
that scale surface workers were paid only
$3.50 Practically the only change the
union demanded was the advance of this
class OF men to 90.

Mrs. Amalia Kussner, who has attained
fame in England as a painter of miniatures,
Is an American girl. She went abroad last
spring, and in this short time has conquered
London society by the power of her palette
and brush. Some Of her miniatures were
shown to Sir John Millias and found place
in the Royal Academy. Among the minia-
lures Mrs. Kussner has completed is one OF
the duchess of Marlborough, who was 80
pleased with 1t that she mt once ordered two
more. Among others who will sit for her

Devonshire, the duchess of Sutherland, lady
Helen Vincent, Mclba, and many more.
Much OF her success is due to her talent for
dress. all her sitters wearing picturesque

PORTE ISSUES STATEMENT.
RejOices at Reaction Against Anti
Sultan Agitation.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Turkey, Sept. 30
The porte has issued statement rejoicing at
the apparent reaction In some of the London
newspapers against the excessive antisul-
tan agitation in Great Britain. which it de-
clares is answerable for the terror in Con-
stantinople, causing foreign residents to
fear the wrath Of Mussulmans at the insults
offered the sultan.
The statement declares that the porte has
succeeded in proving that the alarm Of its
English insulters is unfounded. 1t says
that the porte does not associate the British
nation with the agitation of few hot
Drained politicians. The moderation Of the
European nations will far more than the
vociferation Of England, help the porte to
protect foreigners and Turkish subjects
against the plots Of Armenian revolution

sine die. Important changes were made in
the rules governing strikes. Hereafter any
member who goes to work where strike or
lockout is pending will be fined 1876.
A strike cannot be undertaken except by q
two-thirds vote of the members In the city
affected. Formerly a majority vote was
sufficient. Before inaugurating strike u
committee of three must wait upon the EN-
ployer and use concilatory methods. If the
local committee fails to secure an adjustment,
the general president or a deputy must
proceed to the scene of the strike and
exercise his good offices. Finally the strike
cannot be sanctioned and financial support
given until approved by the five members of
the executive board to be chosen from va
rious sections of the country.
BY an overwhelming vote it was decided
not to allow the discussion of politics in the
local unions. The next convention will be
held in New York in September. 1898.

Scarlet Fever Epidemic.

OF scarlet feve, is raging in this city. Four
teen cases have been reported by physicians
within q short time, and there is mystery as
to the origin of the disease. The board Of
health and the school board held a joint ses-
sion, and as q result the Oak street school
has been ordered to be closed for an indefi-
mite period. As is we'll known, the city water
is Of a very poor quality, and some would
trace the origin Of the fever to that source.
