DR.. NANsENs DISCOVERY.
His Friends In Norway Believe That He
Has Reaohed the Pole.

Has Reached the Pole.
CHRlsTTANN, Norway, Feb. 17.-Wide
spread as is the interest over the where
abouts of Nansen, an interest extending
today over the whole world wherever the
telegraph and the cable can reach it can
no where be more keenly felt than in the
heart OF his devoted wife, who lives in this
city, whence the expedition in the Fran
sailed on June "a, 1893. Having in mind
the first news of himself that the explorer
could by any possibility transmit would
probably be directed to his wife, a repre-
sentati$J of the Associated Press has
called upon Mrs. Nansen to inquire what
intelligence she has of her husbands
whereabouts.
She has received no word from her hus-
band directly, but she is profoundly hope
ful that the news, which first came from
Jakutsk and has since been corroborated
from other sources, is authentic and that
DIT Nansen has, in fact, solved the secret
OF the north pole and is now safely emorg
ing from the mystic isolation of the frozen
regions.
1t must be added, however, that there is
reservation of doubt in Mrs. Nanscn's
mind, despite the hopefulness that buoys
her up. The absence of direct news to her
self leaves the room for this doubt She
Will not allow herself to take assurance of
her husbands good fortune until she hears
1t from himself. She fears the possible fall
from this high point of happiness should
There be subsequent disappointment.
Scientists here, whose sympathy with
Dr. Nanscn and the objects Of his expedi-
tion is very vivid and cordial, believe from
the news received that DIR. Nansen has
really reached the coast of Siberia and is
returning from the pole.

the School Directors to parents, and it is just
as important to discriminate in the former as

nothing by comparison with their opponents.

The performing Of labor makes a nation
rich, while importing the product of labor
makes Il nation poor In those few words lie
all our tariff troubles. The United States
has always suffered by being the dumping
ground for the surplus stock of English
manufacturers. The first thought is, when
these cheap goods are thrown upon our
market, that the people are benefited by
them. But this is not so, because the labor
was paid for in another country and the
money earned was spent in that country, and
where labor is there is the market for agri-
cultural produce. Therefore, so long as
England can buy our food products and sell
us her fabrics she will continue to hold the
key to the gold product
