CROP BULLETIN.
The Wheat Crop MS Compared with Last
Year Is Only d6 Per Cent

COLUMBUS, o., July 6.-The state crop
bulletin for the first Of July has been
issued by the state board of agriculture.
The condition or prospect of wheat
shows still further decline since the
report Of June I, having, according to
the reports of correspondents, dropped
points.
ksDuring the entire growing season the
indications have wavered about the half
crop estimate, but as the season adj
vanced it was apparent that the crop
would run below rather than above the
half average, and now as the harvest
is on and the amount of plowed up
wheat has been figured approximately,
it is evident that the wheat product for
the state will be somewhat below one
half of % fair average product. Rust
and the ravages of the Hessian fly have
aided i'll reducing tho prospect.

GERMAN ELECTIONS BILL
important Measure Is Referred to n
Special Committee After Debate.

Berlin, Feb. 15.-The lower House of
the Saxon Diet, after a debate of two
days upon the measure, has referred the
electoral bin to a special committee.
The bill proposes to abolish the present
electoral system and to substitute therefor
the system which prevails in Prussia of
indirect election in classes.
The first of these classes comprise those
having incomes of 10000 marks a year;
the second those receiving incomes on
not less than $500 marks per annum,
and the third composed of workmen and
rate payers. Each class elects one third
OF the college of electors, which selects
the deputies to sit in the Landtag. The
result of the system would be that all of
the workmen and rate payers comprising
the third class would be in a two To one
minority in the electoral college and
would OF course have no representatives i'll
the Landtag.
In the course of the debate on the bill
Herr Won Metsh, minister of the interior
and of foreign affairs, avowed that the
bill was especially directed against the
Socialists, and the deputies of the latter
party made an attack upon the govern
ment charging them with aiming 10 cs-
tablish a system OF class despotIsn and
persecution which would surely lead to
a revulsion of popular feeling, endanger-
ing all of the institutions Of the State.

Tone OF German Press.

The Cologne Gazette, while warming
England not 10 venture to interfere in the
internal reforms of the Transvaal, advises
the Beers to remove any possible preteXt
for such interference by granting some
concessions to the Uitlanders. The Vos-
Siscac Zeitung says that England, must
become accustomed to see Germans main
tanning a hold upon part of the mainland
of Southwest Africa, besides having weighty
interests in South Africa.
Germany. the Zcitung says, has subjects
there. and must also protect her right to
save a nation connected with her by race
from brutal violence, and To compel respect
for treaties.
The sum OF the matter is that if Great
Britain should menace an attack upon the
South African republic upon the pretext
OF defending British subjects in that terri
tory. Germany would be unanimous in APP
proving the Intervention of the imperial
government in the most active form in
defence of the Beers.

Dr. N3nSen is scientist and naturalist,
besides being an explorer. and | have no
doubt that his discoveries will be eX
ceedIngly valua BILE in forming the geography
OF that heretofore unknown region. The
distance between the highest point hereto
fore reached, about 80 degrees, and the
north pole is about 500 miles. In this re-
gion there is supposed TO be abundant
fauna and flora. The knowledge gained
by DR.. Nansen about these Will be very
valua ble.'
Prof. II lie has made several trips TO the
Arctic regions and one to Central America.
These trips were all made in the interest
of science, and Prof. Hite possesses Il fund
of knowledge in regard TO the regions ira
verSed.
DISCREDITS THE STORY.
Amos Bonsall, who accompanied DR..
Kane on one OF his explorations was seen
athis home, BIZ Walnutstreet, Philadelphia.
In reference 10 the report of Dr. Nansen sal
legged discoveries he said that he had no
doubt OF the utter falsity OF the report.
ut is undoubtedly an untruth," he said.
I'm the first place, to get a report from
the region around the north pole to Ir-
kutsk is utterly impossible. The trader.
konchuareff, in 1rkutSk, claims that he
has received information that DR.. Nahsen
has reached the pole. The person who
brought this Information must have come
from DR.. Nansen. To come from DIR. Nan
sen, who is claimed to be on his way home
on the other side Of the pole from Siberia,
to Irkutsk, in Northern Siberia, one would
have to pass southwark over ice which is
continually moving toward the north. a
person who attempts to do this will find
himself carried back as fast as he moves
forward. In fact, he will lose ground and
be eventually carried back beyond where
he started.
Sir Edward Parry, in his endeavOr to
reach the pole from SpitZbergen, in the year
1927, over the ice, found that as fast he
was walking north the ice was carrying
him south, and he had to abandon his at
tempt. The ice never ceases to move, and
the idea of person carrying a report com
ing from the north pole to Siberia, walk
ing gainst the movement of the ice, is, in
my opinion, perfectly absurd"

London, Feb. IA dispatch from the
British consul at Archangel has been re-

report that DR.. Nansen, the arctic eX-
plorer, has discovered the north pole and
is now on his return from his successful
voyage, is confirmed.
The correspondent OF the st. James Ga
zette at St Petersburg also telegraphs that
the report of DR.. Nansen's having diseov-
cred the north pole is confirmed
BELIEVED TO BE TRUE.
Philadelphia, Feb. 1 5. The report, which
is claimed to have originated in lrkutsk,
Siberia, to the effect that DR.. Nansen, the
Arctic explorer, has at last ched the north
pole, after trip which has extended over
three years, has caused many opinions to be
advanced by scientists and explorers of this
city as to the falsity or truthfulness of the
report
Professor Charles +. Hite of the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania is inclined to believe
that the report is true. In reference to the
matter he said
Il believe that the report is true, and am
truly delighted that DR.. Nansen is the fortu-
nate man. / certainly think he has the
best opportunity of any man in the field for
reaching the north pole. DR.. Nansen has
wonderful powers of endurance, and nc is a
grand man OF great perseverance. Or
course, every one wants to have the thing
authenticated. yet / do not think that peo-
pie so close TO Dr.. Nansen would send out
such a report if it is not true. 1t is dis
credited by the majority of arctic eXplor-
ers, but, however, that does not prove that
it is not true
"If Nansen comes down the east coast
of Greenland he is all right. but il he
attempts to come down the west coast,
he will surely meet with disaster. The
first Peary relief expedition, which ] ac-
companied got as far north sS 80 degrees
on the west coast OF Greenland, but beyond
that it was impregnable. IfiGreenland is
an island, as Lieut.. Peary has tried to prove,
there is no reason on earth VIII yeNan sen could
not get down. He may have gotten up
there and found open water. If such a
possibility is true, he is all right, and civil
iZation should hear authenticated reports
Immediately from him. IF, however, he
is depending on the drifting of the ice, we
shall not hear from him for years, and
perhaps never.
VALUABLE KNOWLEDGE GAINED.
'Of course, there are doubts about the
whole thing but l am inclined TO be-
lieve 1t. DR.. Nansen was the first ex-
plorer to cross the inland ice of Greenland.
He went across in the southern part.
Since then, however, Lieut.. Peary has
succeeded in getting over i'll another part
