AN EXPEDITION TO MEET NANseN
Chicago Parties Ta'k OF Starting for the

Chicago, Feb. 17,-Recent reports con-

the returning explorers in their probable
march toward either Yakutsk or IT.

The man selected to lead the party
is Evelyn b. Baldwin, meteorolOgist of
Lieutenant Perry's North Greenland
expedition in 1894
Much information concerning the re-
gion to be traversed, as well as special
facilities for expediting Baldwin on
his journey to Siberia, has been afford
ed by Monsieur A. S. Savine and Comte
De Toulse Lautre now in Chicago, who
is connected with a Siberian railway.
In an interview, Baldwin said:
Barring such information concerning
Nansen's whereabouts as would make
a proposed trip expedient at this time,
I shall go direct from San Francisco
to Nladivistock, on the Pacific coast,
more than 5000 miles from St Peters,
burg From Vladivistock to Irkutsk,
the first 450 miles, will be by railway,
and the remaining distance by post
twenty-five days will be occupied in
making the transit. The time to be

He WAS AGAIN CRITICIZE D
The Senate Committee on Elections Re-
potts FaVOrab.y on Republican
From Delaware.

Washington Feh. 1.-THE agricultu-
raj appropriation bill occupied the at
tention of the house today. a great
deal of criticism of Secretary Morton
was INDUCED in on both sides of the po-
litical aisle. At last Mr. Mearson, of
North Carolina, arose ana asked if
there was not some member, demo-
cratic, populst or republican, VINO
would raise a voice in his defense. His
question was greeted with a chorus
of noes" from all sides of the house.
The omission in the bill of proVi-
sion for a chief clerk of the bureau of
animal industry at a salary Of $1,000,
which was made upon the secretary
recommendation led to the insinuation
that the secretary wanted to leglslate
out of office p. f. Lysle, free silver
democrat from Missouri, the present in
cumbent, who was appointed on the
recommendation of the Missouri sena-
OrS, and it was minated that Secretary
MOrtons action was an attempt to re-
taliate upon Senator Vest for the lat
ter'S attack on him in the senate about
two weeks ago.
An amendment apprOpriating $42,-
800 for a new edition of the "hOrse book
was adopted.
Before the bill was taken up the SEN
ate amendments to the urgent deticien-
cy bill were non-concurred in, and
bill was passed for the examination and
classification of lands in the railroad
grants in California.
The bill is practically an extension OF
the act of the last congress for the
segregation of mineral lands in the
railroad grants in Idaho and Montana
to the state of California.
Mr.. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, report
ed a resolution of inquiry calling on the

1893, and between the latter date and
January /, 1896.
Mr. Washington, of Tennessee, offer
ed an amendment calling on the SeCre-
tary for detailed information as to
the manner in which bonds had been
sold between 1873 and 1898. Mr., Wash
ington said the country should know
whether the methods pursued by this
administration when the treasury was
in dire distress were different from
those pursued by other administrations.
Mr.. Dalzell said he would have no OBJ
lection to the purpose of Mr.. Washing
tons amendment, but he thought it was
not germane to the resolution before the
house.
Mr.. WashingtOns resolution was de-
feated and the resolution was adopted.
The house went into committee of the
whole, and resumed consideration of
the agricultural bill under the five-min
ute rule.

lows:

HOW THE WEST STANDS.
The Examiner says:

The Examiner says:
"a careful inquiry has been com
pleted by this paper as to the way
in which the Pacific States will
vote at the Republican National
Convention to be held at st. Louis.
The cavass shows that William Nc
Kinley is by long odds the favorite
candidate for the Presidential nom
nation, and will receive most OF
the votes Of the far Western States
and Territories. Indeed, other
candidates are not seriously men,
toned by the practical politicians
or the conventions or the electors in
general. The only break comes on
the silver question. In this regard
some delegates may throw their
strength to a radical free-coinage
candidate, should he appear, but as
between Mckinley and any other
of the men now in the fight, the
Ohioan Will be preferred. The
roll-call may fairly be arranged as
follows:
"Arizona-Six delegates; regular
delegation for Mckinley; contest
ing delegation divided.
"California-Eighteen delegates;
certainly for Mckinley.
"Colorado- Eight delegates;
doubtful, because of the silver
question.
"Idaho-Six delegates; doubtful,
one faction for Mckinley another
demanding a radical free-coinage
candidate.
"Oregon--Six delegates; for Nc
Kinley, as between him and any
other candidate thus far named.
"Nevada-Six delegates; for Nc
Kinley, as between HIM and any
other candidate thus far named.
Anew Mexico--Six delegates;
certainly four vores for Mckinley.
"Utah-Six delegates; prefers
Mckinley to any other candidate
yet named, but stands for free
silver.
"Washington-Eight delegates;
divided, with sentiment more
strongly in favor of Mckinley than
my other candidate"

that the delegates from Arizona to

ton will be entirely in harmony
with the Administration and can
be relied upon to carry out the
views of the President in matters
of platform and nominations. |
wish you would write me just what
the situation is in your territory.
We, IF course, are exceedingly
anxious to have majority OF sil-
yer men in the Chicago convention
and we have counted confidently
upon having the support of Ari-
IONA in this contest. If there is
any danger in Arizona, taking
what we consider the wrong side
of the question, we would like to
know it; on the other hand, if We
can rely absolutly on solid silver
delegation from your territory we
would be glad to know the fact
Will you please advise me at youl
earliest convenience what the sit
uatlon is, and tell me when yeul
territorial convention will prob
olN DC called.
"In case you send silver men t.
,he convention, | hope you will b'
very careful about the personne
,f the delegation. and be sure {
send only such men as cannot be
influenced by the Administrator
or by the methods that are proper
Ily attributed to Wall Street
There is no doubt that we can con
troll the convention if we do N"

quired is determined effort"

most, we will give 1t to our read
ers.
1t will be remembered that a
few days since the departure of the
entire Pearce family and owners
of the mine for San Francisco was
mentioned in the ProSpector, and it
is now known they left for the
metropolis to close negotiations
for the final payment and trans
fer Of the mine to the bondholders
who, instead Of waiting until the

Immediately incorporate the mine
at high figure, the details of
everything having been satlsfac-
