M. Andree has announced his inten.
ton of actually starting this summer
for the North Pole. The difficulty Of
travelling in the far North is the great
area of frozen sea. But the balloonist
will go right over this, and If he gets
favorable wind and can travel
through the air at the rate of fifteen
miles an hour he might alight near
the North Pole within week after he
leaves Spitzenberg. The balloon in
which M. Andree proposes to travel
has many special features. The car is
egg shaped and about seven feet in
diameter and five feet in depth. 1t
will have strong wickerwork lid,
with trap door large enough for the
exit and entrance of the traveller, and
sleeping place within the car. The
covering, or envelope" as it is called,
is made of three thicknesses of Chinese
silk.

Guilty of laying ones finger on MIN
just when he is wanted. Nevertheless
he is a we'll educated man, ana IS q
graduate OF Heidelberg University,
Germany. King was born in Ireland
of Scotch parents. He is now a mid
dle-aged man. When boy his father,
Louis G. King, removed with his lam
lily, to Germany. He gave his two
sons, John G. and Louis A., a first
class education. He also changed his
name to Koenig, the German Tor King
The elder brother, Louis A., adopted
the paternal method Of spelling it, but
John adhered to the English way.
The elder King became colonel OF
engineers in the German army, and the
government made him superintendent
of the Westphalia coal mines. He SOON
amassed a fortune. About fourteen
years ago, having lost all his family
except two sons, he and they emf
grated to America, and settled in New
Orleans. He had two nephews there,
William H. and Alexander J. Dwyer,
already referred to, and, still under
the name of Koenig, he went into the
wholesale dry goods business with
them. Louis A. King later was admit
ted to membership in this firm. But
John, because Of his unstable charac-
ter, was not given any part in the
business. In 1889 the father died, and
his estate was equally divided between
his sons. It did not take John long
to run through his share. When the
money was all gone he looked out for
some way of earning living. He
went to Pittsburg. His knowledge of
chemistry could scarcely be excelled,
and he quickly found employment in
an iron foundry as chemist, but be-
cause of his habits the firm was forced
to discharge him. Then he got en-
ployment as day labOrer. John last
fall wrote to his brother in New Or
leans that he had a chance Of getting
q good place in a steel factory in Troy,
N. Y, and asked for assistance. Louis
sent him $500. John was then in Du-
quesne, Pa. He received the money
Dec. %, 1896, and started for Troy! He
did not attempt to get employment,
but started in to spend his $500. When
1t was exhausted he lived like tramp,
It is known that he spent one night
in a police station lodging room in
Troy. He got shelter also at q lodg-

KosSUTH AN oBsTRuCTloNIsT.
His Sole Aim is to Defeat Banffy and Save
Bohemia.

Buda Pest, Dec. Tin the lower house
of the Hungarian parliament today Fran
els Kossuth, the leadsr of the party adj
vocating an independent Hungary, open-
ed hostilities with a fierce speech on a.
motion which the house, just before clos
ing yesterday granted him permission to
introduce today.
The business before the house was the
construction of the bill introduced yes
terday by the premier Baron Banffy to
prolong for year the Augselich, or cpsn-
pact between Hungary and Austria, the
two divisions of the dual monarchy with
out any action on the same subject on
the part of the Austrian government.
Francis Kossutfl's motion today was
that the Banffy bill be sent not to the
financial committee, which would be the
ordinary way of dispos.ng of it, but to q
committee of the house. The proposal
was in the highest degree obstructive. ID
is believed TO be his intention to obstruct
the bill If possible until The end of tbs
present year, when the existing treaty
or Ausgelach expires.
