The Alleged Insult to spain's Flag.

WASHINGTON, Aug Clip to this time
state department officials say they have
not heard officially Of any firing upon the
flag of Spain by the people of Key West
Fla, reference to which was made in the
chamber Of deputies at Madrid. The pre-
sumption is that whatever has been done
toward learning the facts in the case has
been undertaken by the Spanish minister
to the United States, and that if the atten-
ton of his government is called to the
alleged outrage it will be through the
medium Of Mr.. De LONE.

The Aeronaut Explorer Has Abandoned
His Idea of Starting for the North Pole
This Season, but Now Intends to Start
I'm April Next.
CHRIsTIANIA, Norway, Aug 21.-Dr.
Nansen's arctic exploring steamer Fran
has arrived safely at Skjervoe, fishing
port on the bay near the North cape A
dispatch from Skjervoe to The Aftenposten
says that on Aug, IL the Fran called at
Danes Island, where visit was made to
NJ, Andree, the Swedish explorer, whose
intention 1t is to attempt to find the North
Pole by means of a balloon. NJ Andree
had not yet made his ascension. The Fran
sailed from Skjervoe for Tromsoe yester-
day. All on board were we'll
Shortly after receiving the news of the
arrival Of the Fran at Skiervoe, and her
intention to sail from that place at once
for Tromsoe, Dr. Nansen started for the
latter place to meet her. Before leaving
Hd1nmerfest Nansen wired Captain Sver-
drup, the commander of the Fran, as fol-
lows; "a thousand welcomes to you all
Hurrah for the Fran"
King Oscar has wired Captain Otto Neu-
mann Sverdrup expressing sentiments of
him on the honor won for Norway. There
is great enthusiasm throughout the town,
bunting being everywhere displayed, the
decorations in the harbor being especially
fine.
A dispatch to The Aftenposten from
Skjervoe says that the Fran reached open
water Aug. 49, A member of the expedi-
ton expresses the opinion that the Fran
would have penetrated much further into
the Arctic regions, and that perhaps the
North Pole would have been reached if
the Fran had been frozen in east of the
new Siberian islands In the highest lat
itude reached, S6.15 north, members of the
exploring parties saw millemots, fulmars,
and narwhals, but no other signs of or
| ganic life were apparent.
| Professor s. A. Andree, according to re-
ports received here told Captain Sver-
| drup, who visited the aeronaut, that il
was now too late to make the proposed
ascent and that he would probably soon
return to Spitzbergen, land make another
! effort TO reach the North Pole in a balloon
next April.
The Franz 1t is said still has provisions
| capable Of sustaining her crew in the
Arctic regions for three years. Fearing
| that the crush of the ice would wreck the
ship, Captain Sverdrup and the crew were
Obliged after DR.. Nansen left, to remove
all the sledges, provisions, ammunition
and light furniture
Additional details received regarding
the Fran are to the effect that the boat
drifted from point $3.50 degrees north
The greatest sea depth obtained by sound
ing was 21S5 fathoms. The lowest tenn
perature noted was 80 degrees below zero
F. II. johnson, the stoker, it is reported
had narrow escape from terrible death
He was attacked by polar bear, but wa

LEBANON, Ind, Aug. 21.-As the east
bound passenger train on the Big Four
was leaving the station three masked men
were seen to jump from the platform of

COMMENTS ON THE ELECTION.
The Election.
(Waterville Mail.)

The Republican party on Tuesday.
won a magnificent victory. exceeding
in importance every other in it's history
except the first election of Abraham
Lincoln. 1t appears that the victory
embraces not only the election of Nc
Kinley and Hobart and House of Rep
resentatives Republican by an immense
majority but the carrying of enough
state legislatures to insure a Republic
can majority in the Senate. The YER
dict of the people in 1892 has been COM
pletely reversed.
The causes that have contributed to
this splendid victory are many and
varied but chief among them is the
deep consciousness among the voters
that a great mistake was made when
the Republican party was turned out
OF power and that the only way to rec
tify the blunder was to reinState ii.
Before the active campaign began it
was evident to all that a battle waged
on the question of the tariff must end
in the overwhelming defeat of the
Democratic party. The Chicago con-
vention was made up of men who had
little interest in the tariff question and
inclination for them to ignore this
question and to make the prominent
plank of their platform demand for
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at a ratio Of is to /. This extreme
demand was accompanied by other
planks, equally radical and still more
unlike anything ever before seen in the
platform of either of the great parties.
The old line Democrats We're ousted
from control and the convention and
the campaign We're given over to the
control of the Populists.
The result was what might have been
expected. Democrats of principle the
country over FASTENED to repudiate the
action of the convention and the Pop
ocratic campaign was left almost
wholly bereft of the leadership that it
has enjoyed in former campaigns. A
set of men who We're without standing
or experience took hold of the cam
paign, which from the outset assumed
the same violent and revolutionary
character that marked the Chicago con-
vention. For a time the Popocratic or
ators confined themselves to some eX-
tent to the task of defending the free
coinage plank from the attacks of the
sound money press and speakers, but,
finding themselves worsted in every
encounter, they gave up the fight on
this line and contented themselves with
general appeal to the baser motives
of their hearers. attempting to arouse
among the poor a feeling of hatred
against the well-to-do. In this the
Popocratic standard bearer was the
chief offender and his supporters sim
ply followed his lead. The result of
the voting shows what American cit
liens think of the Chicago platform
and of the methods of the men who
have conducted the Popocratic cam
paign They have shown by their
votes that they do not believe in the
free coinage of silver nor in any of the
other violent doctrines proclaimed in
the Chicago platform. They have in
cheated that they realize that the blame
