Explorer Nansen's Drifting Feat.

DR.. Fridthof Hansen, the great, and if he
tells the truth, tie greatest of Norwegian. or
any other kind OF explorer, is sad to have
reached the north pole. We are very glad
cf this, supposine il to be true. and more
especially for the reason that explorers
and other curious people viii now be able TO
direct some attention to the long neglected
south pole. The announcement of DR..
Nansen'S good luck comes from st. Peters
burg on the authority OF a dispatch from
!rlutsk, which is based on the faith OF a
gentleman, one Koncharneff, who is Of
ficialy known as DIR. Nansen's dog-sup-
p!rr. An we know OF Koucharneff is that

If Kcncharneff knows anything at all
about the cash value OF authentic or roman

may be received at least with a decent
reserve.
The solitary fact in the case is that DR..
Nansen sailed for the north pole, which is
due north from any other point on the
carlhs surface, on June "a, 1893, and also
the other fact that he has had plenty of tine

Vacation for the Printers.

forthwith. The measure provides that the
con.positors and pressmen employed in the
awards department OF the Bureau OF En-
craving and Printing shall lie allowed a
leave Cf absence OF not mere than thirty
days each year with pay. The bill is in
conformity with TIE one approved July 6,

vision as that furnished by Mr. Cummings
measure has not been made before this

TaE present long drawn out and some

TdE present long drawn out and some
what sophomorical debate in the
House on the silver bill, recalls a
little incident in the last Congress,
which might well be given more recent
application.
Mr. Johnson of Indiana. is recognized as
the most rapid speaker in the House, and
when he warns up to colloquy, the
official stenographers find it necessary to
trust to Providence and be trifle shy
on following copy. One day Mr.. Johnson
was making speech, and Lafe Pence, the
brilliant Populist from Colorado, pestered
him just enough to get him started at full
speed.
Whe he concluded Mr.. Pence arose and
prefaced his remarks by sa ying that he had
always observed, in the course OF much
travelling and a busy life, that the smaller
the windmill the more rapidly it moves and
the more noise it makes.
This observation of Mr.. Pence,s has
been frequently recalled during the past
few davs.

tested on the House side Of the Capitol
in Senator Thurston's bill TO pension
all those who received the benefits
OF the Emancipation Proclamation, and the
rumor went forth, that Mr.. Barrett, who has
attained mach fame by reason OF his resolu-
tions to iInpfach Ambassado Bayard and
to censure Nr. TaIbert, was to drop the
same bill in the House hopper.
The biIl itself provides that "all persons
released from involuntary servitude, cc!l-
monty called slaves, in pursuance of the
proclamatioHs OF ex-Presidcnt Lincoln, shall
he made pensioners upon the county OF the
United States.''
Those ex-slaves who have attained thea age
of seventy years shall receive $500 IN
cash and ST 5 per month for life. Those
under seventy years shall be given $500 in
cash and Sf2 a month for life. No dis
tnetion is To be made between male and
female bcncfeiaries. The chief objection
urged by members to the bin is founded on
the fact that there are still living several
hundred colored men who served as per
sonal body servants to George Washing
ton. and judging from their remarkable
longevity tie race Of eX-siaYes Will not
become extinct for an approximate period
OF couple of centuries.
The argument is also advanced that the
proposed measure would not only increase
the national debt, but render abortive any
attempt at its reduction for he next two
centuries But at the same time of course,
it is admitted that there is no immediate
prospect of the bill being enacted into law.
