THE FRAN ARRIVES.
DR.. Nansen'S Ship, Which He Left

NORWAY.

Christiania, Aug. 2O.-Dr. Nansen's
Arctic exploration ship Fran, which he
left imbedded in the ice early in Janu-
airy, 1895, in about latitude 80 degrees
north in order to explore the sea NORTH
of the route proposed to follow, ar
rived at Skjeryoe, province of Tromsoe,
yesterday evening.
Capt Sverdrup, her commander, re-
ports all well on board. The Fran, he
added, called at Danes island on Au-
gust "A and saw Prof, Andree, who
was still waiting for a favorable wind
in order to enable him to attempt his
balloon trip across the Arctic regions.
Capt. Sverdrup, shortly after his ar
rival sent the following telegram to DR..
Nansen: Fran arrived safely. Ali
well on board. Leaves at once for
Tromsoe. Welcome home"
DR.. Nansen replied to this message as
follows: "a thousand times welcome
to YOU and all. Hurrah for the Fran"
The Fran left Skjervoe this morning
on her way to Tromsoe, where DR.. Nan
sen will meet her.

FEAR TROUBLE At ELWOOD.
Union Strikers from the Tinplat 20
Mills Prepared to Enforce
Their Demands.

Elwood, Ind, Aug. 19.-Today is the
date set for the 1860 striking employees
of the American Tinplate company to
apply for their positions as individuals
and the company's scale of wages. The
union men say that not one will go back
to work today nor will nonunion men be
allowed to enter the factory. The strlk-
ers have details of men on duty, six
hours each, and only officers of the COM
pany are allowed to go back and forth.
The union men say they can get 5000
men to help them within three hours.
The company is stringing electric light
wires around the grounds and placing
barbed wire on the fences, and will de-
mand protection from the state and coun-
ty today. The sheriff says he will be
ready to act promptly.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has been
asked to go to Elwood today. NJ. n.
Garland, vice-president of the federation
and president of the iron and steel work
ers, will also be present. The union
men say that the great mills of the coun-
try almost unanimously have signed the
old scale and that there is nothing to
justify a 15-cent cut in wages. The adj
jutant-general said last night that no
troops had been ordered to be IN readl-
ness and that it lies with the governor
to issue such an order.

ALTGELD is PILLORIED.

Grossest Misconduct.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 24-John p. Alt
geld, governor of Illinois, is pilloried in
an open letter addressed to him Saturday
by eX-Congressman w. 5. Forman. The
East St. Louis statesman tears the veil
from the history of the Ramsay defalca-
ton, and. with the past of dead men in
voled to sustain his charges, accuses
Gov. Altgeld of having privately Dor
roT-ed from the state before Ramsay's
death over $4,000. While the dead
state treasurer was being carried II his
grave, Mr.. Forman says. the governor
broke the great seals of the state on tho
locks Of the vaults of the state treasury,
took from those vaults the due bills OF
his own. which were damaging if dis.
covered. replaced those due bills witt

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 24.-TSpecial THE
governing committee of the Stock ex-
change at its meeting late this afternoon
will vote not to open the exchange on
September l, but to continue the closing
indefinitely. This can be stated upon
authority. Besides the governing com
mittee there will be present the Jameson
subcommittee appointed TO investigate

can be obtained this morning and those
who have it in charge say that it will
be put under lock and key indefinitely
after the conference. 1t Is known. how
ever, that it will state that no tangible
suggestion for making provision for the
brokers has yet been made and that I'M

of their number may go broke before
