THE. SLACK CASE.
The Mother May StiIl See Her Chill.
IreR,

Judge Hagner today refused to modify his
order respecting the daily visits of the chill
dren of Mrs. Mary Kemble Slack to their
mother, and until the further order of the
court the mother will be allowed to see her
little ones two hours every day.
The court also today overruled the plea
of Mrs. Slack that the decision OF the New
Jersey court in her favor Should be SO an
plisd here as to restore her children to her.
the judge holding that he had already pass
ed upon that matter.
The action of the court today was taken
III the proceedings in equity, instituted by
the next friend of the children first their
late grandfather and now Mr.. VIM A Cor
dom to restrain all legal proceedings re-
spectirg the custody of the children during
the peHdency of the contest over their
fathers viii. That contest is now at end.
and counsel for Mrs. Perrine the aunt and
testarnentary guardian of the children in
sisted that the injunction case was, there
fore, at an end. The other side thought
not ard for that reason pleaded the judg-
ment of the New Jersey court.
The motion for a modification of the Or
der citing the daily visits between Mrs.
Slack and her chilIrer was made bv the
next friend of the children, but in what
way 1t was desired to have 1T modified was
not stated, and the court overruIed the mo-
ton.

" hat Was Found ON an Island in the
Gulf Of California.

Los ANGELES, Cal, February 15.-S. G
Millard, who acted as guide and Interpreter
for Professor MtGee and his party in their
exploration of Tiburcn Island in the Gulf
OF California, has returned from the eNpe-
dition with an Overlooking supply OF inter
esting things to relate.
He says the island is about eighteen by
thirty miles i'm size, and rises 1000 feet
above the encircling waves OF the Gulf of
California.
The land is barren ard rocky, and is in
nabited by about 800 Ceres Indians, who
are unlike any other known race in ap-
pear&pce and language. The wear very
few clothes. and scamper bar foot up and
down the cliffs like wild goats They never
plant crops, but subsist Oh same. which IS
found in abundance on the island, and the
waters furnish them with any quantity of
fish, CLAIMS and oysters.
The popular belief that :he natives are
can..ibals has not been strengt hcned by lh,
visit of the explorers. There have been wild
tales of mines of fabulous wealth upou the
island, treasures buried hy the Incas. of
ledges of silver and copper ores of wonder
full width and thickness, but Mr. Millari
is inclined to discredt these stories In
the half of the island which was visited h.,
saw plenty of rugged mountain, plenty Of
fertile Valleys many springs of delicious
water, but of mineral wealth he saW no
trace.

JUDGE DALY's COMMENT.
Second Report More Credible Than
the FIRST,

NEW YORK, February 15.-Judge Chas.
P. DAILY, president of the American Geo
graphical Society, when shown the Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from London today
regarding DR.. Nansen's return from the
north pole, said to a Commercial Adver-
tiscr reporter:
This IS rather better than the first ac-
count we had. Il is remarkable circum-
stance that the news should come from
these two places, but coming from points
SO widely separated as Archangel and
Irkutsk, is rather in favor OF the news
being true. But l shall want some further
information yet before accepting the re-
FORT as fact. l have always believed
the pole would be reached some day, and
for Mar sen, would say that his project
presented 4 way that seemed as likely to
succeed as any other, although it was
somewhat dangerous. But l cannot un-
derstaEd how he happens to be returning
in this way. If lie had sailed the course he
intended folloWng-the current that car
Red the drift from the Jeannette-the cX-
pectation was that it would bring him out
between SpitZbersen and east Greenland,
and the first news of him should naturally
reach US from Hammcrfest."

TRACING NANsEN's STEPS.
A Fellow COuntryman Who Does Not
Reject the Report OF Ills Success.

Reject the Report OF Ills Success.
Mr. Leonhard Stejneger of the National
Museum says in regard to the first report
of Nansens great discovery:
"As a countryman of DR.. Nansen and
of which he at one time was a curator, 1
have naturally followed his career with
keen interest Knowing, as do, his quail
iiica ations for the task he has undertaken I
wish to say a few words in regard 10 the
latest alleged news.
at is very difficult to express we'll
founded opinion as to the authenticity of
the narrative which comes to us from
Irkutsk, but as l look upon the facts there
is nothing intrinsically Improbable in the
story.
II wish to recall to you that Konchnaref
vino is wv said to have brought The news
is the same man whom NaEsen had en-
gagged TO furnish him some teams of east
Siberian dogs, because of their superiority
over those from further west You will
also remember that Nansen after having
taken on board supply OF the latter, and
being satisfied as to their qualities failed
to call at Konchnarefs station, steaming
northward toward his goal instead The
most reasonable explanation of this acti On
is that Nansen met with such exceptionally
favorable ice conditions to the north of him
that he corcluded to utilize them at once
not being able to afford the delay in stop
ping at Konchnaref's, especially as his own
dogs were considered serviceable. If this
was his reason, it is but fair to assume
that he reached high latitude that first
autumn, and that possibly he was able to
reach the pole during the following year.

The personnel OF the conference commit
tee on the silver bond bill is exciting 7ntcn

question will tell you, the probabilities are
that there is considerable land to the north
of the New Siberian Islands and Franz
Joseph's Land; in fact, at the very pole,
quite possible that Nahsen's drifting in his
vessel with the ice came 10 stop ty the
discovery of scnle large island. Having
supply of sIedge dogs, and being thus pre-
pared for travel over the ice-or still bet
ter, over land-Nansen may have taken to
his ski and sledGes, while his vessel was
anchored in some sheltered bay, or possibly
even set high and dry up on the land by
the pressure of the ice.
Nansen's Retreat.
Having thus reached the pole. planted
there the three-colored Norwegian flag, and
surveyed the land upon which it is located,
Manson had to think of his retreat. His
task accomplished he naturally wishes to
return speedily as possible.
"If he went on ski and with sledges
the first thing to do would probably be to
ioturn to the vessel in order to Law in
provisions for the trip home. Under the
supposition that his vessel was either lost
immo|able or drifting SO slowly that it
would take years yet to get out between
SpitzbeTgen and Greenland, it seems but
Natural that he should have chosen the
rot:tc over the New Siberian Islands for
lis return voy? =. And under this same
suppoSition there is nothing improbable
in his SClectn; he winter for travelling
On the contrary that would he the very
best season for the mon who successfully
traycrsed the ice cap Of Greenland
1t is true Nansen calculated upon drift
ing across the north pole or its ne.ghbor-
hood, but that was only as a last resort
Reaching the pole by any and all means
was his task, and nobody who knows the
energy and intropidity of the man ana his
hardy followers will for one moment be-
hcyc that they sat idly on boad the Fran
waiting to be Griftcd across. We may
rest assured that they have made attempts
at getting there quicker than that IIx-
ploring the region ground the pole was;
the object of the expedition, not to prove
the correctness OF the drifting theory.
Finally, VIVA tcver has happened what

said that ii is probable that he simply

Speaker Reed of the House had a confer
ence with Secretary Carlisle this morning
When the Speaker entered the treasury
building The elevator had just been stopped
for repairs. The ordinary visitor was oblg-
cd to use the stairway to reach the upper
floors, but the man in charge evidently
thought he was justified in making an
exception IN NJ. Reeds case. Some one
shouted: The Speaker of the House is
waiting down here for that elevator" ard
down it came Mr.. Reed stepped in and
was carried to the Secretary's floor. The
