troll

ANDREE'S POLE TRIP.
General Greeley Outlines the Proposed
Balloon Voyage.

Amesbury, Mass, Aug. H.-General
Greeley, the arctic explorer and chief
of the United States weather bureau,
who is summering near here, in an in
terview on the Andree balloon expedi-
ton to the north pole said:
I met Andree at the geographical
convention in London last summer and
he then gave me a detailed account of
his proposed expedition. I did not feel
then that his chances of ever reaching
his destination with the balloon were
very good, and I am of the same opin-
ion now.
Tt is a very hazardous undertaking.
Andree told me he appreciated the fact
that his undertaking was a very dan
gerous one, and that he might never
return. He starts from Spitzbergen,
zoo miles from the pole, and he hopes
to make the journey in some fifty hours.
The balloon viii be kept inflated for a
month. He expects to go up with a
south wind, and also return with that
wind down the north coast of America.
I pointed out to him that, in my
opinion, that was impossible, as if he
did return it would be with a north
wind. and that he would land on the
Asiatic coast. His expedition is a pri-
vate one, although the king of Sweden,
I think. subscribed SIC, 900 toward the
in Russia and other countries have
been instructed to have men on the
lookout for the balloon should it re-
turn. Andree told me of his system
of guide ropes and sails, three in num-
Der, hanging so as to drag along the
land or water. and by shifting them
around the bearing ring of the balloon
it turns in that proportion. Andree
appeared to me very honest in his un-
dertaking At that time he had select
ed one Ompanion, DR.. EkhOlm. He
made some observations for the Inter
national society in 1882 and in 1888, and
is a semi-scientific man. am of the
opinion that when he reaches the far
north he viii be confused and not know
which direction to follow or return
This same scheme was conceived ten
years ago by two French aerOnauts,
who, however, have never made a start.
''Andree, who is a man of about SO
years of age, explained his proposed
expedition to the Geographical society
a London While he was there 1t did
not seem to any present as a feasible
one. I also made some remarks on the
subject at the time. Dr. EkhOlm, who
has accompanied Andree. is an expert
enced aerOnaut and a considerably older
man. At my London meeting with
Andree I explained to him that he
should make some expedition of this
kind over a civilized country, for an
experiment. previous to starting for the
pole. l explained further to him the
dangers of the proposed voyage in the
air. He appeared to appreciate them,
but like many men he was still willing
to make it -

Indiana Judge Decides In Favor
OF CurbstOne Takers.
No Law Against Talking Finance
On the Streets.
HAD A RIGHT TO TALK.
Persons Arrested For Disputa-
tiOn Are Let Go.
Meanwhile the Street Corner
Discussions Go On.

Indianapolis. Aug. 1.-For ten days
a great crowd has collected on the
postofice corner discussing the fnan-
cial question of the present campaign.
The discussion frequently lasting until
midnight. As fast as one speaker
wearied another filed the gap. The
police made numerous and futile eff
forts to scatter the disputants, and fin
ally made several arrests.
Two cases came before Judge Cox of
the city court and the last time, with
much impatience, he discharged the de-
fendants. holding there was no decis-
ion by any court, high or low, where it
is held that a man violates the law by
discussing politics in the street.
"On the contrary continued the
court, all of the decisions are the
other way. The right of free speech is
fundamental in our constitution, and
must not be denied. No police force
can stop it. 1t is the right of American
citizens This is a. time when perplex-
ing questions are puzzling the people.
They are questions of vital Importance
to the common people. It is only by
ample discussion of the questions that
confront them that they can learn
properly to exercise their right of fran
chise They have the right to discuss
these questions and the court will pro-
tect them"
The court also criticised the policy Of
the police in interfering with these
street corner talks by using the ord
nance aginst sidewalk obstruction, as
an engine of oppression. He warned
the officers that further arrests would
be useless as the defendants would
not be punished
The financial debates are still being
held.

HANNA is NOT SANGUINE.
New York Herald Says Mckinley
Manager is Feeling Blue.

New York, Aug. 21.-The Herald a
firm organ of the gold people. says:
1.-THE plain truth about the national
campaign is that Chairman Marc Han
ma, when he returned from the west
yesterday, although he wore a smiling
face and openly said everything was
going we'll brought news for the east
ern members of the executive commit
tee that the outlook is far from salts
factory. Mr. Hanna will not for one
moment COncede defeat in any of the
states that go to make UP the battle
ground for honest money, but he told
every friend with whom he talked pri-
vately that the fight was a hard one,
and that the ticket could only be elect
ed by the most tremendous exertions,
continued every day from now until
November 3. The great battle-ground is
compact. It includes the state of
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Min
nesOta, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Ken
lucky. The Republican national COM
mittee is going in with determination
to win them all The roseate reports
about Illinois being solid for Mckinley
by $4,000 are put out for the benefit of
the marines. Unless the situation
changes between now and October no
living man will be able to tell with con-
fdence in his predictions how Illinois
will vote.
Michigan, too, has become a sort of
wildcat state on the money question.
There has been a great breaking up of
party lines there. Democratic leaders
and newspapers have bOlted Bryan and
ElGpQDllCdn lGaQ6ES ana newspapers
have bOlted Mckinley in favor of free
silver. The Republicans have no state
organization worthy the name. So
useless is it, Chairman Hanna is about
TO direct his energies to creating some
sort of a Republican machine in Mich
igan.
In Indiana, too, the Republicans are
all at sea. State Chairman Gowdy re-
fuses to make any prediction as to
how the state will go. BENJAMIN Har-
rison is needed in the state to take the
stump.
AT a meeting of the Populist national
committee here last week, J. C. Shank
lin of Indiana said the Indiana state
committee had the names of 1O,73O
farmers who were pledged to vote for
Bryan.
THE Republicans seem to be more
hopeful about Nebraska than any of
these battle-ground states except Iowa.
1t is said a poll of a large number of
farmers taken at random throughout
the state shows that Nebraska cannot
fail to give majority for Mckinley"

GERTRUDE, PEACEMAKER.
Hopes to Secure Reconciliation Be
tween Vanderbilt and Son.

New York, Aug. 21.-Miss Gertrude
Vanderbilt is playing the role of peace
maker, according to the statements of
near friends of her family, and hopes
soon to effect a complete reconciliation
between her father, Cornelius Wander
bilt, and her brother, Cornelius, jr.,
whose recent marriage to Miss Grace
Wilson met with so much opposition
from his parents that they were not
present at the wedding
Miss Vanderbilt is devoted to her
brother, and those who enjoy her con-
f1dence say that the breach between
him and his father is the only thing
which mars the approaching happiness
of Miss Vanderbilt's marriage to Harry
Payne Whitney at Newport next Tues
day. Miss Vanderbilt has been cease
less in her efforts to re-establish peace
between the father and son, and during
Mr.. VanderbiIt's illness is believed to
have urged her brother to defer his
marriage for at least year. Know
ing her father would deny her nothing,
Miss Vanderbilt is said to have asked
as her most precious wedding gift her
brothers forgiveness. His friends say
this has been promised and that her
brother and his bride will attend Miss
Vanderbilt's wedding next week at her
urgent request.
The young Vanderbilt couple are ex-
pected in Newport today, and although
they will probably visit the brides par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. T. Wilson, it is
said they will be received with open
arms at the Breakers, the Vanderbilt
residence
