certain where he was. He evinced the
greatest surprise and delight at meeting
Mr.. Jackson. Members of the Jackson
expedition had been unknowingly within
a few miles of DR.. Nansen's quarters. Mr..
Jackson then proceeds to detail his own
doings.
He says he devoted most of the year TO
exploring the western part of Franz JOSEF
Land. He made accurate maps of the ter
ritory. He discovered new regions and
large tract of land beyond the heretofore
known limits of the island, with magnln-
cent headland covered with ice from loot
to summit, and huge rampant OF ice that
could not be passed over at its base. Here
the party met with series of gales, togs
and driving snowstorms. Frequently they
barely escaped being smashed by the ice.
Another lofty headland was discovered
at Cam bridge Bay. A series Of hardshlps
and dangerous adventures was rewareed
by valuable scientific collections. Inc
phenomenal wildness of the spring caused
disappointment. The melting of the ice
and the consequent openness OF the sea
prevented the use of sledges in Journeys
northward. A number of valuable photo
graphs were taken, picturing the terrible
Arctic nature of the ice capped country.

NANSEB'S ARCTIC VOYAGE
GConttnued. from First Paoe.I

as telegraphed from Washington to-day,
Evelyn S. Baldwin, who was a member of
the Peary expedition and is now mem
Der of the Chicago Academy of Sciences,
is very enthusiastic over the reports. He
said to-day:
''Dr. Nansen's dispatch, Home safe af-
ter a fortunate expedition should pre-
clude further discussion as to the success
of his voyage and should be taken as IN
controvertible evidence in a favorable
light. The doctor says that while the
north pole itself was not reached it was
demonstrated that exploration in the most
distant north can be successful.
"Tne results of DR.. Nansen's expedition
are far-reaching, demonstrating, first, that
the polar current which carried the
Jeanette as far north as n deg. Is min.
continues in the vicinity of the pole GER
tainly as far as latitude So deg. Ia min..
the point where it would appear Nansen
abandoned the Fran. fearing that should
he continue to drift he would be carried
beyond the pole and not be able to extri-
cate himself before the supplies should
give out. He did a wise thing to return
by the route that was known to him.
"The second important fact gained by
him is that vessel may be constructed SO
as to withstand the tremendous strain of
the northern ice. Moreover, the meeting
of the English expedition to Franz Josef
Land, by which means he has returned to
civilization on board the Windxard, i'm
presses the Importance of concerted action
among all exploring parties"
Mr.. Baldwin thinks headquarters
should be established to carry on Arctic
expeditions, and it should be located on
Newman Bay, in Northwest Greenland,
latitude S1.30. as near Captain Halls old
location as possible. This opinion is
shared by Lieutenant Brainerd of the
Greeley expedition.
Mr. Baldwin thinks that with such
headquarters securely established a party
would certainly be able to outline the
northern extension of Greenland, which
may perhaps be as far north as 85 degrees.
The existence of new land and animal life,
the electrical forces, geological formation
and related subjects might be prosecuted
by this means.

PARL LAMENT PROR0GUEO
Queen Victoria Says She Is Glad

She Feels Some Anxiety as to the
Outcome of the Armenian and
Cretan Questions.

LONDON, Eng, Aug. 4.-The Queens
speech, proroguing Parliament, was de-
livered to the House of Commons at 6:15
o'clock this afternoon. The speech says !:
Ny relations with the powers con tinue to be
friendly. The hostile movements of the dery-
ishes in the valley of the Nile against the posi-
tion occupied by Italy east of that river con-
vinced me that 1t was necessary for Egypt to
take steps toward arresting their advance. By
my advice ano sanction an expedition has
undertaken to restore to the Government OF
the khed1ve, as far as DOngola, the territory
which was lost a decade ago. The operations
OF the expedition are proceeding and by the
brilliant action ut Ferker alarge portion of the

tinues to cause anxiety and at present Crete

junction with the powers have endeavored to

regret that serious rebellion, signalized
with cruel murders, has broken out in Mata
beleland, the rising having extended into
preston has been undertaken, the settlers dis
playing great courage. They have since been
re-enforced by imperial and other troops.
The speech refers to the Matabele
country and expresses hope that the rebels
will shortly accept the cIemency which
has been offered to them.
Referring to the matter OF the delimita-
tion of the Indian frontier the speech says
that the agreements between the Shah OF
Persia and the Ameer of Afghanistan upon
the subject are friendly to the Chitrals.
Ralle eff garrlsons sent to Chitral have
received the cooperation of the tribes
men.
Her Majesty expresses her thanks to the
House OF Commons for its provisions and
services for the year, and concludes by
saving that she has given her consent
with pleasure to the measures for naval
defenses, for lessening the agricultural al
taxes, for the protection of the cattle i'm
ports from disease and measures for yari-
Gus other purposes, including the Irish
land bill.
In bidding farewell to the members OF
the House, her Majesty prays that they
may receive the blessings OF providence
and rest from their labors.

One of the ASsailantS and One
of the Workmen Fatally
Wounded.
THE BATTLE LASTS BUT THREE
MINUTES.
Climax of the Big Strike at Cleve-
land-Several Arrests Made by
the Police:

CLEVELAND. OHIO, Aug. 14.-One OF
the most dastardly attempts at murder
that ever occurred in this city took place
here tonight. 1t was the outcome of the
great Brown hoisting works strike that
has been going on here for the past three
months. As a result several men are in
iured, two of whom will probably die.
Since the strike began rioting has been
the chief pastime of the strikers and their
thousands OF sympathizers. Two lives
have been sacrificed through the trouble,
and for weeks the works have been run
under police and military protection and
the 800 non-unon men escorted to their
homes by armed officers to prevent muir
der.
The striking workmen put up big fight
TO beat the Brown Company, but have
signally failed. Ever since the trouble
began the strikers and their sympathizers
have carried on a guerrilla warfare against
the men who took their places.
They have assaulted them, stoned their
houses and boycotted them at the stores.
About a week ago the five companies of
militia were withdrawn from the Brown
works and police protection taken away.
The strikers applied for a court injunction
and were refused, and since then have be-
come doubly revengeful.
Tonight party of ten strikers went to
the corner of Wade Park and East Madi-
son street and laid in wait for a party of
workmen who came by on their way home
from the Brown works. There we're nine
men in the little group of workmen with
their dinner-pails. Without a moments
warning the strikers rushed from behind
a saloon where they were in iding, and,
with cry of "Scab began shooting into
the crowd. A few of the workmen were
armed and returned the fire. The battle
lasted about three minutes, in which time
about thirty shots were fred the strikers
fleeing.
Four men were shot-two fatally.
George Plum, one of the workmen, was
shot in the head aud will die, while Al
Caldwell, another workman, was shot in
the right leg and in the shoulder. Two of
the strikers were shot and one will die.
The one fatally injured is George Larsen,
an ex-employe of the Brown works. He
was shot through the lungs. The other
mans name is Haley, and his injuries are
not serious. Several other people are
thought to have been slightly injured, but
their identity cannot be learned.
The police have made several arrests
among the strikers.

San BENI1O COUNTY MIDDLE.
All Indictments Found bu the Recent
Grand JmrH Are OMasked


HOLLISTER. CAL, Aug. IA lengthy
decision was filed in the Superior Court
to-day by Judge Dorm of Monterey County,
which declares the Grand Jury of San
Benito County an illegal body, dismisses
all the indictments it found and quashes
all its proceedings. Among the indict-
ments declared invalid are those against
E. B. Montgomery, ex-County Treasurer,
for alleged embezzlement of county funds.
The Grand Jury was impaneled by Judge
James f. Breen for the express purpose of
investigating treasury affairs, but he
eglected to comply with the law requir-
ing the selection of grand jurors equally
from all townships of the county, and drew
them from San Juan and Hollister to
the exclusion of one-half or the county.
Since the indictments were found, Ex-
pert Theller of Santa Cruz has made an
Dvestigation of county affairs, going back
six years, and finds that Montgomery is
the only official owing anything, and that
$134 shortage resulted from duplication
of the Assessor salary warrant.
