Reasons to Be Proud Of tho oregon

If the experience of the Oregon in round-

NANSEN SUED FOR $4,000.
A Boston Firm Says the Arctic EX-
plOrer Broke His Contract.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.--Dr hansen, the
Arctic explorer has been sued in the SUI
preme Court by George II. Hathaway and
Richard Heard, of the Lyceum Bureau of
Boston, for $4,000 tor breach of contract.
Messrs. Hathaway and Heard state that on
Dec. 30, 1885, DIR. Nansen signed contract
with them to deliver a series of fifty lee
lures here and in Canada, beginning Oct.
g. 1897. The agreement, which was signed
in the presence of Gerh Gadi, the United
States consul at Christiania, contained
provision authorizing a renewal of the con-
tract for a second series of fifty lee
lures. DR.. Nansen was to receive half of
the gross receipts of the tour. The plain
tiffs agreed that he should receive not less
than $25, 900 for his fifty lectures. Plaintiffs
say that Dr. Nansen fulfilled his contract as
far as the first fifty lectures were con-
cerned but broke it when he gave only six
teen lectures of the second series.
DR.. Nansen's secretary, Mr.. Chapman,
says the second series of lectures did not
draw the audiences that were expected.
When it came to the making of payments to
the doctor on his second series dispute
arose as to the guarantee. AS long as ne
drew $4,000 or $4,000 houses or better this
question did not come up but when the re-
ceipts fell off 1t did. Nansen CANNED me the the
inal agreement. 1t was said IN his DenalI
yesterday that his managers held that UNI
der the renewal ne was 10 receive Oiliy ID
per cent. of the gross receipts, asserting
that there was no agreement TO pay the
guarantee after the first series of lectures,
and, it was added, when he was not pald
as he thought he ought to be, he cut loose
from his managers and, refusing to deliver
any more lectures under their direction,
took a train for New York with the inten-
ton of sailing for home as soon as prac-
ticable. hansen can hardly depart broken
hearted or purse broken, either AS the
proceeds OF his first fifty lectures he must
have received $25, 900. even If he got only his
guarantee for each lecture. Secretary
Chapman said he thought Nansen was very
much pleased with his reception in this
country generally, but was tired, owing TO
the great amount Of travel he had done, ana

A Bright SUN Gave More Snap to
Trade and Prices Steady.

cheerful sun and bracing air gave more life
to trade on Monday and but for the bad condi-
tion of the country roads the week would doubt
less be a banner one in many lines of trade AS
it is, it busy day the wholesale streets.
In prices there marked changes. DRY
goods, except in the line of cottons, were firm.
Staple groceries are moving well at steady prices
but neither sugar coffee is in as strong
position as a month ago. The leather and hide
markets are both active and prices very firm at
quotations Provisions are moving well at steady
prices For two weeks there has been no inn
portant change in that line. On Commission
row a fairly good trade for Monday was enjoyed.
Prices are firm all articles except poor apples.
Choice apples and oranges readily bring best
quotations.
The local grain market is not as active as
earlier in the month, which is attributed to the
lighter receipts. all cereals are very firm at
