EANSEN'S JOURNEY.


ncy lie Has Made.
WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - Without
questioning the accuracy Of the reports
that come by cable from Norway an
nOunClng the return OF the Arctic cXDln-
rer Nansen safely from his novel and Ad-
v~enturous voyage IN the Fran, COmmO-
dore Melville, enEineer-in-chief OF the
navy, who was n member Of the Inflated
Jeanette party which served as the
pattern for Nansen's attempt upon the
north pole, holds that the result OF the
explorers voyage. as now understood
here, clearly proves Nansen's theory OF
the polar drift to be groundlcss.
In the opinion Of Commodore Melville,
Manson has only closely parallelcd the
celebrated voyage OF Wyrrrcht and Pay
er In the TtgethoT and has followed
their drift. Tho TrGcthom rounded the
north point OF Nova Zembla with the in
tention OF trnverslng the north coast of
Siberia.
Her commanders got In the Ice md
drifted northeast while the gulf stream
favored the early fall. Afterwards,
when the stream lost its force they drift
CD south and west, bringing upon Wilt

WllNcT tl"lT bllD WIS CFISnpu ana IN
the following summer they escaped in
their boats and We're picked IN on cape
Nassau, one Of the headlands of Nova
Icmbla.
NanBcn, Commodore Melville points
ont, has n very similar experience. He
did not enter the ice on the side of the no.
lar basin from where he was picked i'm,
so his trip utterly fails 20 prove that n
current exists that may be relied upon
to carry a ship across the polar waters
md bring II down on the cast side Of
Greenland. As n matter Of fnc,, he was
last heard from, according to Commo-
dore Melville, eastward of Nova Xcm-
bln, and he has Just driftcd nnrthwnrl
and back again. This Is precisely In ac-
Cordancc with the Judgment passed on
Nanscn's theory before he undertook his
voyage by Commodore Melville, who Ind
carefully calculated the probable drift
OF the Arctic regions north OF the New
Siberian Islands. from the experience
he had with thr Jeanette. As to Nnn-
sens course. he says that while Il IL not
known exactly Just where he entered the
Ice, he doubtless entered northwnrd OF
Nova ZGmhlp, and this would give him
Just the right drift to emerge where he
Ia reported to have been picked up.

A F%ANATIClSM
Which Inspired hexicanS to Attack n
Custom nouSr.

Custom NiouNr.
NoGALES. Aug. IA strange re-
ltgous ,fanatacism finding It's motive
power In the preaching OF a newspaper
and Its badge In the latest copies OF the
Salo, actuated the attack made on last
Wednesday on the Mexican custom
house at Sogales, Sonora, Just across
the line.
1t would be useless 20 seek to explain
the outbreak by reference to such mo-
lives as mark the lives Of saEc. people.
The known facts about the mob are that
they one and nil had been consistently
reading Il half breed newspaper, and
most of them had been working as
cheap section hands in the employ Of
the Southern Pacific company. They
we're not after rlunder in the usual sense
for they neglected to help themselves to
a considerable Sum OF money in the Gus
tom house.
Why their hostility was directed
against hat Institution rather than a
frontier boarding house, Is not quito
clear. unless It Is that as n visible sign
ct authority It was eXnsneratlng and
therefore to be destroyed. II appears
that they are all followers OF n magnetic
healer and prophecies for whom their
admiration has grown into worship. and
her they have canonlzed as Santa Teresa
de Cabora, a living saint and wonder
worker as they believe, having been told
SO by Laaro Aguirre, apostle and news
paper man. who has devoted his organ
to sounding her prises. The gospel
which he has prcachee was that Santa
Teresa was a divine. or at least, insp!r-
ed leader, delegated from God to the
common people OF Mexico, and released
them from the slavery into which he
tells them they are bound. a steady
Course OF this inammatory variety OF
reading, Joined with a senson OF work

were ready to follow the way to saliva
