Verg Little Democratic Enthpsiasns Is
Being 4roused.
BOSTON, MASS, Aug. 1.-THE silver
wave which was promised in this State by
the supporters of William ]. Bryan has
failed to materialize. The ampaign so
far is fat failure. There are several
reasons for this. The silver managers
have no money, and they can see no pros
poets of getting any. The Democrats who
in other campaigns have contributed
literally have close clasp upon their
pocket-books. Three-fourths of these
same contributing Democrats refuse abso-
lutely to support the Chicago platform,
and not cent of their money will they
place in the committees hands. Many of
the Federal Office holders who would be
among the heaviest contr ibutors are luke
warm and refuse to give anything.
a leading politician intimately con-
nected with the silver campaign was asked
when Bryan was coming to the State and
his reply was: Il don't know and don't
care much. What we want is money.
That is the necessary and We must have
it. The silver managers have been i'm
portuning the National Committee for
funds, but get no satisfaction. The food
ing of the State with speakers, which was
to be one of the features of the silver cam
paign, is not reality and is not likely to
be. A half-doZen of the old green back
speakers are endeavoring to do something,
but they are mostly cranky individuals of
but little or no influence.

CRUSHING OUT A FANATICAL
UPRISING.
Troops on Both Sides of the Line in
Pursuit of Santa Teresa's
Followers.

NOGALES, ARIZ., Aug. 14.-Three of
the Yaquis who were captured since
the battle here on Monday have gone to
the happy hunting-ground. They were
taken out of town to the hills this after
noon by a squad of soldiers and shot to
death. They were given a hearing this
morning ana acknowledged their connec-
tion with the outbreak, but said they were
forced by their chiefs to engage in the
raid. The chiefs told them that if they did
not go they would be put to death for cow
ardce.
Several invitations to witness the execu-
tion were issued to officers on the Ameri-
can side by the Mexican officials, but 9th
erwise the work was secret and no one
knew when the men were taken or where
the execution took place. The other cap
tured Indians are likely TO be killed in
day or TWO. An Indian taken to-day is
believed by many to be innocent, as sew
eral saw him during the battle fighting on
the side of the officers and citizens, but
tie general opinion is that he will be shot
unless he can prove conclusively that he
was not with the Yaquis. Mexican au-
thorities keep bringing in suspects and
there are now six in jail.
The cavalry, which left here this morn
ing, found signs of band of Yaquis along
Santa Cruz River, and sent back for the
infantry, which left on special train at 4
o'clock for Calabasas, ten miles north of
here. From there they go on foot to Pa
iarita Mountains, to assist in gathering in
any suspicious bands OF Indians. More
soldiers have been ordered to Nogales and
a troop of cavalry from Fort Grant is on
the way; another troop of cavalry is COM
ing via Tucson. ana third is stationed at
old Fort Crittenden. This latter troop
ran across about thirty Yaquis on the
Santa Cruz, near Sonorita, this afternoon

they driftsd south and west. bringing I'D
on Wiltsec Island, one OF small group
southwark of Franz Josef Land. While
they winte-ed there their ship was
crushed, and in the following summer
they escaped in their boats, and were
picked up off Cape Nassau, one of the
headlands of Nova Zembla.
Commodore Melville says it will be
noticed that Nansen has had similar ex-
perience. he did not enter the ice on the
other side of the polar basin from where
he was picked up, so his trip fails utterly
to prove that current exists that may be
relied on to carry ship across the polar
waters and bring it down on the east side
of Greenland. As matter of fact he was
last hearo from, according to Commodore
Melville, eastward of Nova ZembIa, and
he has just drifted northward and back
again.
This is in accordance with the judg-
menl passed on Nansen's theory by Com
modore Melville before he undertook his
voyage, Commodore Melyille's prediction
being printed in THE CALL at that time.
Melville said he had carefully calcu-
lated the probable DRIFT on the Arctic re-
gions north of the New Siberian Islands

for the Fran.

VARDO, NORWAY, Aug. 14-Dr. Nam
sen, the Arctic explorer, says he expects
that the Fran will eventually arrive at
Spitzbergen. He says that she drifted
with the ice In westerly direction 10 "a
degrees. Rocky seas, he says, prevented
him from entering the mouth of the Olensk
River for the purpose OF procuring dogs,
and lack of dogs prevented him from reach
ing the north pole, which he would other
wise have found. DR.. Nansen says he
found water $500 meters deep, which
became appreciabIy warmer st depth Of
100 meters. The land voyage, he says. was
very arduous, but had extremely valuable
results. He reached the northern coast
of Franz Josef Land and built g storm
house where he lived all winter.
DR.. Nansen adds that during the winter
when there was no bear flesh to feed the
dogs they killed the weakest dogs and fed
them to the others until the whole pack
was killed. He and Lieutenant Nansen
started on May 19 TO reach Spitzbergen.
After travelling for six weeks on snow
shoes, dragging sledges partly overland,
partly over sea ice, they reached the quar-
ters occupied by F. C. Jackson of the
Windward expedition. The members of
this expedition were found to be healthy
and DR.. Nansen and his companion re-
mained With them until the Windward ar
rived. 'Fsen the steamer started on her

WASHINGTON. d. c., Aug. 14-With-
out questioning the accuracy of the re-
ports that come by cable from Norway an
nouncing the safe return of Arctic Ex-
plorer Nansen from his novel and adven-
turous voyage on the Fran Engineer-in-
Chief Melville of the navy, who was q
member of the ill-fated Jeanette party
which served as the pattern for Nansen's
attempt upon the north pole, holds that
the result Of the explorers party, as now
understood here, is to clearly prove his
theory of polar drift to be groundless.
In the opinion of Commodore Melville.
as expressed to THE CALL correspondent,
Nansen has only closely paralleled the
celebrated voyage of Wyprecht and Payer
il the Tegethoff, and has followed their
drift. In that case the Tegethoff rounded
the north point of Nova Zembla with the
intention OF traversing the north coast of
Siberia. They got in the ice and drifted
north and east, while the gulf stream
favored them in the early fail.

AGAINST BRYAN AND sEWALL

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug. 14.-There
is possibility that a com bination ticket
will be put in the field by the Republicans,
National Democrats and Populists in some
of the Southern States. The executive
committee of the National Democracy is
in receipt of propositions looking to this
end from Alabama, Texas and Florida,
and is very much inclined TO look upon
them with favor.
The leaders of these three parties in the
South have not yet discussed matters of
detail in the proposed fusion, but it is
probable that If it is carried cut they will
fuse on the State tickets, and that cleo
toral tickets will be made of men pledged
to vote against Bryan and Sewall In all
three of the States mentioned the Popu-
lists have declined to enter into the fusion
with the Democrats arranged at St. Louis
They are thought to be strong enough in
combination with the Republicans and
Sound Money Democrats to swamp the
Chicago ticket in each of these States.
This is an unguestionable fact, when il
is considered that the colored Republican
vote of these States will be protected That
element alone is almost sufficient to carry
them. The National committee will con-
slider this at its meeting on Monday in
Chicago.
The Republicans in the States named
have not submitted the question to the
National committee nor have the Popu-
lists to theirs. Chairman Bynum ex-
presses much pleasure at the declaration
of Senator Gray that he would support the
ticket, and expressed the hope that Others
close to President Cleveland, and possibly
the President himself. would make some
expression in due time. The executive
com mittee was notified to-day that Cali
fornia will elect delegates next Tuesday

THE CALL that Commodore Melville ex-
pressed similar views in opposition to the
polar drift theory last winter, when it was
reported that Nansen had reached the
pole.
Professor W. n. Dali of the National
Museum, an expert on questions of Arctic
explorations, was seen to-day and asked
how he regarded the reports of Nansen's
success in getting nearer the north pole
than other explorers.
"The reports are SO meager," said Pro-
fessor Dali, "that it is bard to draw any
conclusion about the trip until further de-
tails have been received. 1t shows, how
ever, that the theory adopted by Nansen,
though not accepted by the scientific
wo rid, of a current that would carry him
over the north pole, is incorrect. otherwise
he would have gone further NORTH"
