Could He Have Secured Dogs.
VARDo, Norway, Aug. 15.-Dr. Nam
sen, the Arctic explorer, says he ex-
poets that the Fran will eventual )
arrive at Spitzbergen. He says
that she drifted with the ice in a
westerly direction to "a degrees.
Rocky seas, he says, prevented him
from entering the mouth of the
Olensk river for the purpose of pro-
curing dogs, and lack of dogs pre-
vented him from reaching the north
pole, which he would otherwise have
found. DA Nansen SAYS he found
water $500 meters deep, which be-
came appreciably warmer at a depth
of 100 meters. The land voyage, he
says, was very arduous, but had ex.
tremely valuable results. He reached
the northern coast of Franz Joseph
island in the autumn of 1895 and built
a storm house there in which he lived
all the next winter.

In 1895 they cast 105 votes for
