entertained for many years the
IDEA now put to a practical test The
suggestion of reaching the pole in a
balloon came from his observations of
the regularity Of trade winds and a
study of polar air currents
The distinctive feature Of Andree's
balloon is a strong guide rope. which
serves two all essential purposes.
First it keeps the balloon at a uniform
height and so insures that the suDulv
of gas will not be diminished by ex-
pansiOn and underfOW: second. il acts
as 2 keel to the airship, which is pro-
weed with three sails. BY means of
this keel the balloon can drift before
the wind at an angle to the general di-
roction.
Professor Andree estimates a speed
of from twelve to fifteen miles an hour.
At this rate the Pole could be reached
from Danes Island in SIX days a ia
vorablo and constant wind being the
only necessity.
The balloon has a capacity Of 10000
cubic feet and is GA feet i'm diameter
Its basket, or car, is only seven feet in
diameter and five feet in depth. Above

MAKERS OF CRACKERS
ARE COMBINED IN ONE GREAT
TRUST
The Object in View Is the Opening Up
Of the Market Across the
Water

PITTSBURG, Pa. Dec. 19.-s. S.
Marvin. president Of the United States
Bakery company, returned from New
York today and announced that the con-
solidation Of the three great cracker
factories of the United States is now an
assured fact. The deal has been prac-
tically contaminated, and the details of
organization alone remain to be settled.
The capitalization Of the combine, he
says, will be $55.0O0,O 900. and it will be
in operation by January l. 1898. The
three companies entering the trust are
the New York Biscuit company. the
American Bakery company and the
United States Bakery company.
The latter is now capitalized at $5.00o.-
900, while the other two are rated at $780,
O0O. 900 each.
Mr.. Marvin says that Of the $55, 900, 900
capital, $25. .0O0, 900 will be preferred stock
and $50 1000, 900 common. The preferred
will be issued in shares of $100 each. He
says the great and primary object OF the
combine is to invade foreign markets
and open up an outlet for the over-pro-
duction of bakeries in this country. An
other object is to establish cooperative
company, one in which the employees can
have an opportunity to have stock by
saving earnings In that way, instead OF
depositing them in banks. The location
for the headquarters has not yet been
decided upon, but New York seems gen.
orally favored.
A meeting of the companies will he
held in few days to elect officers and
settle all details.

THE SEALING QUESTION
Tangled Up With Protection Of Food
Fishes


OTTAWA, Ont. Dec. 19.-The secre-
tary of state today called attention to
the omission from the, Bering sea cor
respond ence between Canada and the
United States, which was telegraphed
from Washington Friday last, of a men,
orandum conc a'ning proposition made
by Mr.. Foster to the Canadian delegates
and requesting its transmission. The
proposition, which is taken from the
Canadian copy Of the proceedings, is as
'"First-That the government of Great
Britain and the United States adopt at
once the modus vivendi providing for
a complete suspension of the killing Of
seals in all the waters Of the Pacific
ocean and Bering sea for one year, from
December, 1897, and for suspension of
all killing of seals on the Pribyloft
islands for the same period.
'Second-That the British ambassa-
dor and one or more representatives of
the Canadian government on the part of
any such representative or representa-
tives as may be designated by the pres
ident of the United States will, with as
little delay as possible, take up for con-
sideration with view of settlement by
means of treaty stipulation the fur seal
ing question, the protection of fish in
the waters Of rivers and lakes contigu-
GUS to the United States and Canada
which either of the governments may
see proper to bring forward"
