ANDREE MAY BE ALIVE.
Nansen Expects the Safe Return OF
His Countrymun.

Stockholm, Aug 13.-Dr. Kiellan, writing
in the Stockholm paper. "Aftenhladet." !"
makes a plausible suggestion as TO the POS
sibility of Andree's safety. Judging from
the enterprising character of the man, be
thinks it not impossible that, being unable
to proceed further in his balloon and not
wishing to wait for favorable oppor
tunity to return to Europe. he aud his
companions may have determined to push
on toward their goal in sthe ordinary way
For this they would, of course, need
provisions. as what they had with them was
only calculated to last till the end of 1897.
But the writer points out that IL they came
down in the sub-polar portion of northeast
Greenland, they would find all sorts of
game reindeer and whole herds of musk
oxen. while the coasts abound in waIruses
and seals. In summer this region !s even
visited by butterflies and bees.
1t seems extremely probable that the
balloon may have been carried in this di
rection. 1t certainly is not in Siberia or
Alaska, and the atmospheric conditions
prevailing at the time would have carried
it into the range of the transpolar atmos-
pheric current which would take Ii TO
Greenland. Even il they came down ON the
ice, say somewhere below the eighty sixth
parallel, which NaDSen reached, their
sledges and the movement of the ice caused
by the circumpolar current would enable
them to reach Greenland, and having laid
in provisions they would start in the spring
of 1898, either making for the Pole or in
search OF Nansen, while the snow was suf-
ficiently covered by a layer of freezing
1t may be ccnjectured that now, after
wintering second time. they are on the
return journey either along the eastern
coast of Greenland, reckoning on meeting
Nathorst's expedition, or have turned the
northern extremity of Greenland, with
view to coming down the western coast,
where they ought to encounter Sverdrup
with the Fran. They were determined not
to come back until 1889. This opinion IS
fully endorsed by Nansen, who IS con-
vinced that Andree and his companions will
return safe and sound either at the end OF
the summer or at the latest early in the
autumn.

CHEERS FOR EXPANSION.
Representative Dolliver Addresses n
Large Audience Mt Chautauaua.

Chautauqua, ~ Y, Aug. 13.-''I feel an
Indignation which l cannot explain when /
hear men expressing the conviction that
human liberty and human civilization will
stand poorer chance under the flag of
our great Republic than it does under the
proclamation of few negro tribes now
heeing before our little army of occupa-
tlon IN the Island of Luzon,' said Repre-
sentative j. T. Dolliver of Iowa to an au-
ulehce OF 5000 people, composed prin-
clpaiiy or farmers living in Chautauqua
county. The vast audience cheered these
words until the roof rang with the echoes.
Not satisfied with this, the crowd gave
the Chautauqua salute and then chesred
again. This was as good a test of the tenn
per OF the rural residents of western New
York as could be desired. That a great
majority of the farmers favor the policy of
the President in fighting for the Philip
pines was shown by the attention given
the speaker and by the enthusiasm and
applause that followed every eloquent sem
timent expressed
When the applause that followed the
conclusion of Mr. Delivers speech had
subsided Baptist preacher, Mr.. Ray by
name, endeayored to organize the meeting
into debating society.
Is 1t not a fact" he shouted from the
euuiOHSo, tHdt ABulHdluo was dutuOFlzeu
by the United States to make war on the
Spaniards?''t
No" replied Mr.. Dolliver. calmly.
But if he was 1 deny his right to fire on
our troops.''f
The yell of approval that followed this
reply gave DR.. Ray ample time to formu-
late another question.
Well" he said, lamely, what about the
Declaration OF Independence?
I don't want to know more about that
historic document than did Thomas Jeffer-
son. and if l read his story Alright the
province of Louisiana was governed far
more rigidly than we propose to govern the
Philippines. Aaron Burr the Aguinaido
of that time, objected. He was arrested
and tried for treason
This retort was the signal for another up
roar, in which many of the prominent
grangers, including the master of the State
grange, joined. The enthusiasm eliminated
in the Chautauqua salute.

protection, and their aggregate influence
if exerted quickly, before the anti-Semitic
and anti-republican rage of their various
followers has chance to cool, is looked
upon as potent enough to precipitate a
revolution, CT which either the 0rleanist
or Bonapartist pretender stands to be the
ultimate beneficiary.
1t is possible that the conservative
forces arrayed on the side of the bour-
geois President, backed by the military
ability of his aristocratic but loyal Min
lister Of War, may be able TO stem the
tide and save the Republic. But that does
not seem to be the view held by Europeans
in the best position to judge the situation.
The chances, then, are that we may have
sensational developments in France to re-
cord within the coming week or two.

Speaking aof the system of managing the War
Department which virtually makes official out
east of hesBighest officer of the Army, styled

General Coriinanding, - the Boston Globe says

months. "AlI Presidents are pretty much alike

these circumstances Presidents and their Secre-
taries of War prefer TO degrade the place and to
elevate the office of Adjutant General, whose ec-
cupant always is so obscure as TO be politically
harmless" This seems to be the truth But
President Mckinley and Secretary Root can afford
to rise above such motives and put General Miles

The TransvaaI Crisis.

In spite Of the general opinion in London
and at the Cape that hostiltes with the
/ Beers are very close at hand, it is possible
! that war may be averted, although just
how it would be difficult for anybody to
] say. The decision rests with the Volks-
raad and Kruger, mostly with the former,
and for that reason little hope for peace
seems to be justified. The savage threats
of the Boer President to seize British resi-
! dents as hostages, and in case of invasion
to wreck all the Transvaal mines and lay
| johannesburg in ashes, have completely
destroyed any latent sympathy which may
have been felt for the South African Re-
public among civilized nations. The semi
official German press, from which Kruger
might expect comfort and encouragement,
if from any source whatever strongly
hints that the questions at issue between
his State and Great Britain do not in the

If the Beers were a sane and civilized
