far everything has occurred as antici-
!
otherwise all is we'll"
Aug. II the following telegram was re-
ceived by the Indian department. fromthe
agent at Victoria, Be-: ''Creditable in
formation received By: Agent Tomas from
two Indian parties separated by long
distances at the time Of observation is
to the effect that Andree's balloon had

course" -
A dispatch Aug. IL at New York
from Vradoe on Vranger ford is rather

81, in initiating his balloon and was wait
ing for favorable southerly wind to
embark. Late reports stated that
he was discouraged at tho
lack of favorable conditions and was
about prepared to give up the attempt
for this year, as the season of the mid
/
dispatch containing the report of the
discovery of four rents in the balloon

showing that up to Aug. 2 ora the
aeronaut had not set sail and the pros
poets were poor for his doing so at all
