THE SUBSTITUTE FAILS.
Sound Money Men Prove to Have a
Large Majority In the
House.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 15.-The ma
jority against silver in the House Yester-
day when the final vote was taken on
concurrence in the Senate free coinage
amendment was larger than that of
yesterday i'll committee of the whole
The day before the motion to concur
was defeated 100 to 80, a majority of
10; yesterday it was beaten 215 10 90,
majority of 125. The vote yesterday
was a record making vote and counting
the pairs, but 81 out of 356 members
were unaccounted for. Perhaps few
absentees lodged, but most of them were
unavOidably absent and were unable to
secure pairs.
The silver men who predicted a much
greater showing of strength were dis
appointed. The Sound money leaders
had been disposed to concede the silver
forces 100 votes.
An analysis of the vote shows that
1S4 Republicans and 81 Democrats voted
against concurrence and SO Democrats,
% Republicans and Z Populists for con-
currence.
The debate, which preceded the vote,
was of an interesting character, but de-
void of any sensational features. The
galleries, as usual on Il field day in the
lower branch of Congress, were crowded
to the doors, and quite number of sen
ators, including Messrs. Palmer CID,
Bacon (Ga.), Cockrell (MO.) and Butler
On. c., sat through the tiye-hOur debate
Secretary Herbert was also present.

the failure of his lordship to substantiate

She was suffering from the grippe when

HEAR FROM NANSEN.
London Officials Receive Dispatch
from Consul in ST.
hHria

London, Feb. 15.-The Spanish consul
at Archangel, capital of the Russian gov
eminent district of that name, telegraphs
confirming the report that DR.. Nansen Is
safe and returning from the north pole.
The news of DR.. Nansen's supposed
success has created intense interest in
this city. The report received from 1r-
kutsk. Siberia, was generally discredited
at first although more faith was placed
in it than in the previous rumors which
have reached London during the past
twelve months.
The dispatch from the British consul
at Archangel given above is regarded as
conclusively showing that tho Norwegian
explorer is homeward bound, even if he
has not discovered the pole. Dispatches
received here from different parts of the
continent Indicate that the same interest
in the news from the north is manifested
throughout Europe, and it is also gen
orally credited at the European capitals,
although even DR.: Nansen's wife and
relatives did not believe the announce
ment which came through kouchnareff,
the agent of DR.. NanSen, near the mouth
of the Lena river, residents OF which
locality frequently visit New Siberia.
Later advices say that news of DR.. Nan
sens lJfety was sent by HandaroH, the
local Russian official III the Yakutsh re-
koffs expedition.
DR.. Nordens1ioId who is in Christiania,
is inclined to believe the news of DR..
Nansen's safety at any rate, even if it
is not true that he has succeeded IN dis
covering the north pole.
According TO the opinion of Arctic ex-
perts here, when the Fran left Kara
sea in 1893 she may have found the sea
northwards free of ice and pushed on
until she was locked in. They add that
she may they have been allowed to drift
until the expedition came to land around
the north pole and that Dr. Nansen and
his party may have returned in sleds 70
the Siberian island.
At the Siberian islands, it is believed,
Dr. Nansen and his companions may
have been stopped by the broken ice.
DR.. Nansen wrote to Baron Toll from
Yugoro straits saying that he expected
to return to Koteny, Siberian islands,
where dogs have been awaiting him.
Scott Kettle, a member of the Royal
Geographical society and the agent of
Dr. Nansen in England. in an interview
today said he was surprised that he had
not received telegram from DR.. Nam
sen. but he thought Improbable the ex-
plorer bad returned after reaching the
pole He added. however that he did
not know exactly how DR.. Nansen would
prove he had been there except by his
report and observations.

the Track.

Republic, Mich, Feb. 15.-LSpeciaI.I-
The most distressing accident that has
ever occurred here took place this morn
ing at No 1 pit, Republic mine. After
finishing their nights work, eleven min
ers got into the skip to ride to the sur
face. The skip jumped the track on
an incline less than sixty feet from the

means of signaling the engineer to stop
hosting the skip it was pulled along
until it caught and was overturned. The
men were caught between the heavy
iron skip and the rough sides of the
shaft and were terribly crushed. Four
of them were instantly killed, one was
fatally injured, three were less seriously
hurt and the remaining three escaped
with slight bruises.
