Washington Experts Inclined to Dis
credit the Report From Russia
New YORK, Sept. 20.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Arctic explorers and scientists are
much interested in the report that 4
balloon, supposed to be that of An
dree, the explorer, has been seer over
province of Yenisei, Siberia. Pro-
fessor William Hardness of the naval
observatory said that as Andree start
ed in his balloon from Danes island to
the north of Spitzbcrgen, in latitude
70 degrees so minutes it was clear ii his
balloon was now at Antzifeiowsky lie
did not succeed in his project of cross
ing the polar region and coming out
at some point in the British territory
of North America. Prof. Hardness
said that if Andree's balloon is any
where iR the province of Yenisci, it is
practically certain that his attempt to
cross the pole has been complete
failure, and instead of going north
from his point of departure his gen
eral direction since he left Tromsoe
has been toward the east and south.
Walter Wellman. the newspaper
correspondent who has made a special
investigation of the practicability of
Arctic ballooning, discredits the ST.
berian story. though he does not coin
eide with the prevailing belief that
Andree is lost In his opinion An
dree's chances of safety are about

REPUBLICANS Mo LONGER.

Wanted to knoW-the difference be-
tween asilver Republican, so-called and
a Democrat During the last campaign
and even recently during the Organiza-
tion of the National Silver Republican
party the leaders of the party have
tried to draw distinction between it
and the Bryan Democrats. Soon after
the st. Louis convention they claimed
that they were Republicans in all the
lines of party except the monetary
question but as the campaign progres-
sed they grew more and more in har.
mony with the Democrats. In the spe-
cial session just ended the leaders,
Teller, Pettigrew and CanHon worked
and voted against the tariff bill, bill
embodying the principles Of protection
as taught and practiced by the Repub
licans ssince the organization of the
party. In every movement they at
tack the administration. TO call them
Republicans is a misnomer since they
have abandoned every vestige of rep
ublican principle. 1t is name Dor
rowed to catch and hold Republicans
who favor silver yet are true to party in
all other tenets of faith. This fact is
clear that the leaders who bolted at st.
Louis are already at heart in full sym.
pathy with the Democrats. They are
leading their followers bag and bag.
gage into the Democratic camp. A
fusion between the silver Republicans
snd silver Democrats is inevitable
The leaders are now in every purpose
and thought tending toward that end
The name silver Republican is merely
tinkling cYmbal to lure republicans
into Democratic ranks

Ferry. While on his way to Atlanta
he ran across an old bear and cub,
and knowing of a person who would
pay $50 for the cub he gathered it up
and started off with it. The mother of
the cub bristled up and challenged John
to fight. John accepted the challenge
and dropped the cub and they went at
it. John bested the bear in the first
round and when she drew off in her
corner to get her breath John again
gathered up the cub and started off.
BY this time the gong had again been
sounded and the old bear sprange to
the middle of the ring and gave John a
left uppercut under the jaw and was the
aggressor all the way through until
near the end of the round when John
landed with a heavy right swing just
above the belt which completely wind
ed her. The third round was called
and by this time John was mad and he
gathered up his AK and hit her a foul
blow which Knocked her out. Mr.
Novak then took the cub and went in
to Atlanta where he tied it with chain
That night it broke loose and dis
appeared and in short time John also
disappeared and was never again seen
by anyone who knew him until he
appeared on the streets of Mountain
Home this week. His friends in Rocky
Bar and Atlanta supposed he had gone
back after another cub, and he not
showing up the next spring went on
the hunt of him and near the scene of
his fight the fall before found the skel-
eton of a man together with straw
hat and a knife, and supposed John
had gone back and been killed. No
one knew of anyone else that was miss
ing and naturally thought the skeleton
that of Bohemian John, and it was
buried. 1t is now supposed the skele.
ton was that of Heath, who
started from Rocky Bar to Atlanta in
the winter of 1893 and who was never
seen again.-Mt Home Republican.

QUICK WORK.

The work done by Congress on the
Dingley Tariff is hardly appreciated as
it should be. Congress was called to,
gether in extraordinary session on
March Is. In four months and nine
days the bill had passed both the Uni
ted States Senate and the House of
Representatives, was acted upon in con-
ference, finally passed by the Senate
and was signed by the President.
This covered a period of 1871 days. In
1890 the Mckinley bill, reported on
April 16, passed the house on May 81,
but was delayed in the Senate till Sep
TENDER, and again still further delayed
in conference, not being signed by the
President till Oct. 1890. 1t was in all
1858 days before Congress.
When the Democratic party was in
control, the Mills bill dragged along in
1888 and 1889 for nearly 300 days, and
then failed to pass. The German Will
son bill was reported to the House by
the Ways and Means Committee on
December 10, 1893, and reported to the
Senate on February 20 1894. 1t did not
become law until August %, 1894, and
was then such "ragbag production"
of ''peridy and dishonor" that even the
Democratic President refused to sign
it.
The difference between Republicans
and Democrats in enacting Tariff legis-
lation is very marked. The Republi-
cans passed the Mckinley bill in 1863
days, and the Dingley bill in 1871 days,
each bill receiving the signature of the
Republican President.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
wasted some 300 days over the Mills
bill, which never became a law, and
they wasted 202 days over the German
Wilson bin, which proved to be such
an abortion that even President Glove.
land refused to sign it.

AMERICAN wool-growers are likely
to gain some advantages in prices
through the great reduction in the sup
ply of Australian wool which must
ensue from the shortage of the pastu-
rage in the great wool-producing area
of that country. Australian sheep are
reported starving to death in large
numbers, and others are being slaugh-
tered for their skins, so that it is esti-
mated that one half of the usual wool
clip of that country is sacrificed in this
way. AS last years clip amounted to
643OOOOOO pounds, the effect of this will
be very materially felt.

"Times. Herald" have been making
independently of each other, a canvass

report a very great reduction of the

mortgages amounting to hundreds of
millions of dollars are being reduced or

TAE AARvEsT ANp ITs REwARp

There are some welcome signs that
business conditions throughout the
country are on the mend. 1t cannot
be said that there is any prospect of
great return tide of prosperity, but
the coming year promises to be better
than its immediate predecessors. The
American farmer is getting higher
prices, and existing crop conditions
are especially favorable to our own
producers. This years wheat crop
will have been larger than the aver
age in the United States, while much
smaller than the average of several
preceding years in the countries that
compete with us in supplying the
European market. Thus it is certain
that our good crops will bring reIa-
lively good prices; and this means
better days for the Western farmers.
whose reasonable prosperity is fund
amental to the business welfare of
the country at large. India, with
her great famine still raging, will
have no wheat to send to Europe
this year. 1t is said that the Austria
liam crop will barely suffice for home
consumption. The Argentine export
has almost reached the vanishing point
while that of Southern Russia and the
Danubian States is also, this year, a
small factor. The prospect, therefore,
is for very large European demand
upon the crop of the United States,
which is expected to be at least
100000 bushels larger than that of
last year, and the average price is likely
to continue at least twenty cents a
bushel higher than year or more ago.

CUBANS IN GOOD CONDITION.

brief interview with II representative Of the

THE Cuban army is now in better con-
ditiOn to resist the Spanards and 10 mnin-
tain the fight for independence than it has
been since the beginning of the war. Gener-
al Gomez has u well disciplined army of
about 40, 600 men who are determined to hold
out until their efforts shall be crowned with
victory. Our soldiers are rapidly procuring
arms. and every day serves to put them on u
better footing in this respect.
"Ihe troops enjoy vast advantage over
the Spaniards, In. that they are not in
iurously affected by the climate. | may
state that have not seen n case OF yellow
fever or smallpox among the Cuban soldiers
since have been on the island, and that
have not been sick II day myself. Further
more. we have no difficulty in feeding our
troops. In the portion OF the country in
which the Cuban troops are in control the
provisions are protected, and we draw our
supplies from this source. Our commssary
is therefore regularly renewed and our sup
plies are received in quantities quite sut
iicient TO meet all our wants.

WIRES UNNECESSARY.
Tslegraphic Nsssagss to Be Transmitted
Through the Air.

Nicola Tesla, the electrician. says that he
has practically perfected an apparatus by
which telegraphio messages can DO trans.
mitted without. the use OF wires After ex-
perimenting with this object In view for sew
eral years, Mr.. Tesla now believes that he
has found way OF sending messages In any
direction, and TO any distance, with no 9TH
er medium than the electrical currents. He
succeeded five years ago in demonstrating
that wires were not actually necessary for
the transmission OF electrical currents from
point TO point.
In very short time will be able to as
tonish the world. said Mr.. Tesla II have
OF late centered my efforts in producing q
disturbance In the electrical forces Of the
earth itself, and have succeeded. A single
electric signal can be seLt around the earth
by known ordinary means at the rate OF one
sixteenth OF asecond. BY my instruments
this can be done at the rate OF one-forty-
eighth OF a second. No wires are necessary
to send telegraphic messages to any dis
tancc. The message is projected simply by
producing disturbance OF the electric fluids
OF the earth. and this is felt at all points Of
tho earth because the fluid is incomprehen-
sibe. Anybody in any part OF the world
possessing receiver and the key to the code
can read the message
The electrician remarked calmly that It
would. with his new method, be quite easy
TO communicate from any point with ship
in mid ocean or traveller at the North pole.
Mr.. Tesla Is not ready to make public any OF
the details OF his perfected instrument, but
in few weeks he proposes TO make an ex-
traordinary demonstration OF his mastery OF
the electrical currents.
