London, Oct 27.-The Times pub

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 21.-Evelyn b. Bald

the United States weather bureau, has
received letter from Capt. Ernst An
dree of Sweden, brother of the polar
aeronaut, expressing confidence in his
conjectures as to his whereabouts. He
said
MY opinion is that if my brother had
landed anywhere between SO or 80 de-
grees north and 20 or 80 degrees west
and $50 degrees west Greenwich merid-
lam we would have heard from him. But
not having heard directly from him as
to having landed | think he must have
come down to the west of $50 degrees
and between SO or 81 degrees north. At
the same daily progress made by Nansen
of three miles it would take him two
years to reach the coast of the Parry is
lands and another year before he could
communicate with civilization. My
brother several times expressed his wish
to examine the ocean north of the Parry

Newspapers.

The following is an extract from an
address delivered in New York on
Wednesday evening, by Dr. st. Clair
McKelway, the brilliant editor of the
Brooklyn Eagle, and is worthy of re-
production here, especially at this
time:
Advertisers and newspaper men
together make the character of a pub
lie journal. The editorial page, all
contradiction to the contrary not
withstanding, is the most important
page of the newspaper. The news
pages, by their fairness, their clean
ness, their intelligence and their en-
terprise, largely make evident the
ability and the resources of the sheet.
But the editorial page reflects not
only the ability, but the character of
the journal it's virtue as we'll as its
vigor its conscience as well as its
capacity its courage as well as its
conscience
"The editorial page indicates the
quality Of the constituency of a news
paper. know that it could not get
along without the news pages, but
also know that the news pages would
get along in limping and hating
fashion without the editorial page.
Recall newspapers with poor editorial
pages or with none, but with bright
news pages. They may have vogue,
but they do not have influence. They
may have circulation, but they do
not have power. They may be able
to say things and to spread things,
but they cannot do things and cannot
get things done. And the exact
measure Of their impotency is sug-
gested by the blare of their claims of
efficiency and of accomplishment.
Happily these newspapers Of blare are
just few enough to be as distinctive
as repulsive, and desirably to differ
entiate themselves from the general
journalism that, at home and abroad,
was never more respectable and more
honored than it is to-day.
Il give a short duration to the
journalism of dirt, defamation, de-
magogy and boasting That journal
ism, in all its few examples, is becom-
ing the victim Of a throat-cutting
competition and Of reciprocal evils
cerationi and the other journalism,
holding its steady course, was never
more prosperous and never more de-
servedly so than now. / expect that
it will still further improve. / con-
cede that the great advertisers have
greatly improved it. Their an.
nouncements haye the charm OF

of argument They have the attrac-
tion Of fancy. They have the incen-
tive and the decoration of metaphor,
of literary allusion, at times of poetry

THE SAMOAN COMMISSIONERS
VIII Sail From San Francisco on tn
Twenty-flfth.

VIII Sail From San Francisco on the
Twenty-flfth.
Washington, April 14.-The Samoan
commission will sail for Apia on the
United States naval transport Badger,
leaving San Francisco on the 25th
inst This arrangement was made yes
terday after Baron Won Sternberg,
first secretary of the German embassy
had called on Secretary Hay and ad-
vised him of his appointment as the
German member of the high commits
sion. This completed the body.
The formal announcement of Baron
Sternberg's appointment was received
from the German foreign office, and
gave general satisfaction among Of
ficials and diplomats, as throughout
the recent troubles he has exerted his
influence In such manner as to win
the heartiest approval of the state
department, as we'll as the British am
bassador. His choice, therefore, was
accepted as an evidence that the com
missioners would be able to cooperate,
and to reach the unanimous decision
called for by the agreement. The early
sailing of the commission is regarded
as evidence that the recent collision at
ADia will be settled diplomatically.
