Ex-Mlnister Eustis. on his recall from
France. submitted to an interviews, In
which he makes some very interesting
points of comparison between this repub-
lie and that. They may be summarized
I'm a quotation he makes from an eminent
g'renehman. who ~ an offhAnd way said
that in France they had plenty Of equal
ity in theory. bat that when II came to
personal liberty thoy were not IN it.
As TO fundamental principles. as Mr..
Eustls observes, the two republics are
rot closely associated. Tho freedom az
person. speech and or isle press do not
exist as We know than. This Is par
uonlsrly the case with personal liberty.

1t now seems reasonably certain that n.
Andree. the Swedish explorer, viii make
his long talked O: attempt to reach the
polar regions by means Of balloon some
time during the latter part Of this month.
The government Of Sweden has communi-
Gated to the Canadian government the fact
that Andree leaves for Spitzbergen this
month and Canadian officials have under
taken to report wherever the balloon will
be sighted. at any place in the Northwest
err territory or In the Hudson bay region.
The attempt TO reach the pole by means
of a balloon, 1t will be remembered, was
to have been made year ago, about this
time A balloon house was built at
Epitzhergen. well anchored and sheltered,
and some of the necessary supplies were
taken thither A delay in the construction
OF the balloon. and the consequent loss Of
favorable weather led 10 the defeat of the
plans. This year. however. there will be
no such causes OF delay. The balloon is
on hand, and the balloon house is none the
worse for wear. There seems no reason to
doubt that NJ. Andree will fairly get afioat
I'm his balloon this time, but whether he
reaches and passes over the pole in safety
or whether he and his comrades will ever
be heard from again after they enter upon
their peculiar and adventurous voyage, is
exceedingly doubtful.
NJ. Andree expects, II favored with q
good wind from the south. TO arrive in the
days after starting from spitzhergen, and
even to get carried across the polar area.
His preparations. however. are not based
upon any such hopeful calculations. He
will carry with him four months supply
OF provisions and n boat, a folding affair
that packs away neatly above the car,
and some equipment for scientific obser-
Walton. Even If successful In his venture.
however. his opportunities for scientific
observation viii be extremely limited, and
the net results from his explorations
promise to be but little. 4 few broad
questions may be determined. such as to
whether there is any open polar SEA.
whether there are any large masses of
land in the neighborhood Of the pole, and
the like. On his own theory OF his rate OF
speed. more extended or accurate observa-
tons could not be looked for.
The novelty as well as the bodness OF
the scheme by which this young Swedish
scientist seeks 10 solve the polar problem
naturally e&cites interest In and admira-
ton for IT'S protector; but. after all. the
question viii remain as 20 what possible

hazard which attends upon his attempt

he does II all with such sure and solid self

Even the Directing Dingley got nervous
as the Speaker sat silent while Mr.. Lewis
of the State OF Washington pressed his
question or privilege to cover q resolution

Dingley objected that 1t was not privi-
legged question. Speaker Reed said moth
ing. Lewis grew hopeful and marshaled
his precedents. The Speaker looked as
though he would not harm child. The
member for Washington read his resolu-
ton.
Then the Car sat up and swiftly
squelched the helligerent Lewis. The re-
solution was out OF order, he ruled. and
could be introduced only in the regular
order and be referred to a committee.
