EXPECTS NEWS OF ANDREE
Explorers Brother Writes to Evelyn B.
Baldwin.
Points Out Probability of Informal ton
Coming Along Some Time
Next Summer.

MOBILE, Ala, October 27.-Evelyn B.
Baldwin. the arctic explorer and observer
in the United States weather bureau, who
has been assigned to duty at this station,
has arrived here from Washington. He has
just received a letter from Capt. Ernst
Andree of Sweden, brother of the polar
aeronaut and has given to the Associated
Press the following extract, expressive of
Andrees confidence in his brothers safety
and his conjecture to his whereabouts:
MY opinion is that IL my brother had
landed anywhere between SO or IS degrees
north and 20 or 80 degrees west and $50 de-
grees west Greenwich merdian), we would
have heard from him. But not having
heard directly from him to his having
landed. l think he must have come down
to the west of $50 degrees and between 50
and 81 degrees north. From SO degrees north
and $50 degrees 1t is about 750 miles to the
nearest known land. to New Siberia, Tay-
mur, Franz Josef Land. Greenland and the
Parry Islands. At the same daily progress
made by Nansen, of three miles, II would
take him two years to reach the coast of
the Parry Islands, and another year before
he could communicate with civilization.
My brother several times expressed his
wish to examine the ocean north of the
Parry Islands. The last one of my brothers
buoys was found on the north coast of
Iceland. Lately, however, another has
been found on the north coast of King
Charles Land, east of Spitzbergen. He had
with him twelve buoys, eleven small ones
and a large one, the latter to be thrown out
when the balloon was as far north as the
expedition expected to reach
If the expedition reached "a or So
degrees north and 80 or 100 degrees east
and then got northerly winds, it is most
likely they would have thrown the buoy,
not expecting to go any more to the north.
But the wind might have changed in few
hours again to the south or southwest and
thus have carried the balloon to 81 or Sc
degrees north and 80 degrees west or 1so
degrees.
Here they may have landed in an un-
explored region. Previous to reaching land
they may have sailed backward and for
ward several times. Remember that the
balloon sailed 10 or 16 miles an hour dur
ing the first three hours.
II do not put the least faith in any of the
many reports, with the exception, of
course, of the pigeon message and the two
buoys l do not expect to hear anything
more this year. but expect to hear all the
more next summer

CAPITOL IMPROVEMENTS
Preparing for the Coming ASSEM-
bling of COnKress.

The Capitol has received It's usual quota
of improvements and repairs during the
present recess of Congress. The most con-
spicuous improvements have been on the
Senate side, though the work of renovation
has been carried on in all parts of the big
building. The corridors of the basement
floor have very generally been provided
with electric lights, which remedies the
most unfayorable feature of that part of
the building.
The decoration Of the extensive corridors
on the north of the Senate galleries is the
most notable feature of the Improvement.
There the artist has followed the Pom
peIian style of coioring and has secured
magnificent blending OF terra Gotta, red and
other harmonious unts, gilt being used
with good effect in bringing the projecting
ornamentatiOn Of the Vaulted ceiling into
bold relief. The frames of the large paint
ings in these corridors have been regilded
and the statues have been recleaned.
New carpets have been provided in yari-
Gus places IN the building is the custom
before the beginning of a new Congress-
The heating arrangements have been i'm
proved in many cases and improvements in
the steam heating apparatus has been
made, so that steam may be secured much
quicker than formerly.
