Bound for T'romsoe.

Christiana, Norway, Aug. 20.-Dr Man. sens Arctic exploring steamer Fran has arrived safely at Skjervoe, fishing post on the bay near the North Cape.
 A dispatch from Skjervoe to the Aften- posten says that on August IA the Tram called at Dane's island where a visit was made to Andree, the Swedish exr plorer, whose intention it is to find the north pole by means of a balloon Andree had not yet made his ascension. The Tram sailed from Skjervoe for Tromsoe today. All on board were well. The Fran, with Dr. Nansen on board, sailed from Christiana June "A, 1893 She Is rigged as a three -masted schooner and is provided with a steam engine of 160 pend entirely on her sails while in the ice. Her displacement is 800 tons and her sides are so constructed as to force all the ice meeting the vessel tops under meath, thus preventing all "pinching" and "screwing." The vessel was launch ed October 26. 1892. at Laurwick, near Christiana.
 Dr. Nansen's plan was to make for the new Siberian island and thence sail di- rectly north until the Tram should be imbedded in the ice, then drift along with it, following the west coast of any land that might be met.
 Nansen left the Tram in March, 1885, in latitude S4. longitude 1925, to explore north of the Franz Josef route, and her arrival at Skjervoe Is strictly in accord ance with his prediction that she would eventually arrive at Spitzbergen or some other point in the open sea.

 MT Sherman writes: T do not think it advisable to prophecy for the future. based upon contingencies that I do not know will happen"
 MT. Lodge advocates compact through the regular forms of diplomatic negotiation.
 MT. Thurston wants a monetary con ference convened.
 General Grosvenor proposes that the president himself upon the very thres- hold of his administration should in di- plomatic but most earnest language sug- gest to the great nations of the earth the propriety of such an adjustment of the relative values between gold and silver as money, and that congress should pass an act authorizing the president to ap- point commission to draft and submit to the great financial nations plan for bimetallic agreement, and call upon those nationsto respond by the appoint ment of like commissions.

DON DICKINSON GOT MAD
And Consequently Lost the Money Maker
 of His Law Firm.

of His Law Firm.
 Detroit, Mch., Aug. 20.-The law firm of Dickinson, Thurber & Stevenson, which is comprised of Hon. Don M. Dickinson, Henry T. Thurber, private secretary of President Cleveland, and Elliott c. Stevenson, late chairman of the democratic state central committee, has dissolved on account of political diff ferencee which have arisen between Messrs Dickinson and Stevenson since the Chicago convention.
 In the Chicago convention MT. Steven- son posed as the mouthpiece of MT Dick inson, who represented the administra- ton. Stevenson was chairman of the Michigan delegation, and also chairman of the state central committee He de- cIared he would resign from the latter position, not on account of the platform, but because of the treatment of the Michigan delegation in the convention. MT. Stevenson did resign, but hls resig- nation was not accepted. which was con sidered purely personal victory, rather than one for gold or the administrator Later MT. stevenson resigned again, and made way for Fred A. Baker. silver advocate, retaining hls place on the com mittee, however. MT. Stevenson has been taking an active part in the cam paign in the interests of Bryan and Sew all.
 This action on the part of MT. Steven son so incensed MT. Dickinson that the relations between the members of the firm became greatly strained. Articles of dissolution of the firm were signed Satu,day
 MT. Thurber will remain with MT. Dick insou. This law firm probably had larger revenue than any other similar firm II, the state. MT. Stevenson. besides being one of the most conspicuous dem ocrats. in Michigan. is considered law yer of great ability. He came here from Port Huron a few years ago to become fine JuGiol. partner of the firm and ini- mediaie.y took high rank among Detioir law vtrs

Upper Red Hook, N. Y, Aug. 2O-WiI- liam Jennings Bryan threw down the gauntlet today to Major Mckinley. It was dignified challenge, for in it he re- fused to discuss the issues of the cam paign with any person except the one that stands his equal in office seeking ambition.
 He was asked if he intended to answer MT Cochran, and said in answer that he was receiving many invitations from prominent men to debate the silver ques- ton. In order to avoid further invitations of this nature he said he would not con- slider any proposition to debate any ques- tion with anybody during the campaign unless debate should be arranged be- tween MT. Mckinley and himself, and he added that so far as he knew no plan for such debate was under consideration by either national committee.

Chairman Jones in Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Chairman Jones, J. G. Johnson of Kansas and Daniel J. Cam pau of Michigan, members of the demo- cratic national campaign committee, ar rived this morning at the Auditorium annex to begin the campaign work for Bryan and Sewall from the Chicago headquarters, which will be established In the Sherman house,
 When interviewed Senator Jones quick ly and vigorously disposed of several newspaper stories, chasing them all as falsehoods. He -said
 q made the discovery that the Chicago newspapers, under favorable crcum- stances, can print falsehoods. They have developed a row between Governor Alt geld and myself which never had any foundation in truth. The relations be- tween the governor and myself have been pleasant all along, and are now. Gov ernor Stone will not run the campaign from these headquarters. He will doubt less be here frequently between now and election day, as he is member of the committee, but l expect to run the cam paign here and In Washington.
 We will begin operations at once on a scale broad enough for the occasion, and will add to our headquarters space as re- qulred A branch of the Washington lit- erary bureau will be established here. Our ticket will be elected beyond doubt. Mr. Bryan's New York speech had most excellent effect on the east. It started the people to thinking and studying, and as a result we are making great gains in the east"

Ha,a All Right.

< Washington, Aug. 20.-Secretary
 Smith, who but yesterday returned to
 the city after an absence of ten days, called at democratic headquarters this afternoon and remained an hour in con sultation with Chairman Faulkner. AL though the secretary has declined to say for himself whether he intends to enter actively into the Georgia campaign and put up a strong fight for the Chicago tick et such Is the only inference to be drawn from the remarks of the leading dem- ocrats about headquarters after the con- ference was over. The statement was made by a gentleman in a position to know that the attitude of Secretary Smith would be such as to admit or no doubt as to his loyalty to the ticket, and 1t was said that the aid he proposed to
 give would be of the most positive char acter. It is understood that at the prop CT time Mr. Smith will come out In un- eouivocal terms, and will work actively
 and earnestly in support of the success of the ticket and all that it represents.

tells how he was annoyed by people
giggling and talking generally, dis
turbing services. On one occasion he
paused, looked at the disturbers, and
said: 81 am always afraid to reprove
those who misbehave in church for
this reason: Some years ago, as was
preaching, a young man who sat before
me was constantly talking, laughing,
and making uncouth grimaces. 1
paused, and administered a severe re-
buke After the services gentleman
said to me, "Sir, you made a mistake,
that young man is an idiot" Since
then | have been afraid to reprove
those that misbehave least l reprove
another IDIOT" Good order prevailed
during the rest of the service.
