WHITMAN PARITY SAFE
One Of Their Number Dead and
Wellman a Cripple.
NEW ARCTIC LANDS AND ISLANDS.
The Relief steamer Capella Has Reached
Tromsoe. Norway. With the American
Observation-Disclosures on Franz Josef
Land Kept Thorn From the Pole.

TRoMsoE, Norway, Aug. 18.-Walter
Wellman and the survivors of the polar
expedition led by him arrived here last
night Oh the steamer Capella, having
successfully completed their explora-
tions in Franz Josef land. Mr.. Wellman
has discovered important new lands and
many islands. q
The expedition brings a grim story of
arctic tragedy. In the autumn of 1898
an outpost called Fort Mckinley was
established in latitude 81 and two Nor
-wegians, Paul Biorvig and Bert Bent
sen, the latter of whom was with Nam
sen OIL the Fran, remained there. The
main party wintered at Cape Tegethof,
latitude so.
About the middle of February, be-
fore the rise of the sun to it's winter
height, Mr.. Wellman, with three Nor
wegians and 40 dogs started north. 1t
was the earliest sledge journey on re-
cord in that high latitude. MI. Well
man found Bentsen dead, but Bjorvig,
according to promise, had kept the
body in the house. sleeping beside it
through two months of arctic darkness.
Pushing northward with a continu-
u temperature for 10 days between 40
and 30 degrees below zero, the party
found new lands north of Freedom ISL
and, where Nansen landed in 1895.
BY the middle of March all hands
were confident Of reaching latitude 81
or So, if not the pole itself. Then be-
gan a succession of disasters. Mr.. Well
man, while leading the party, fell into
q snow-covered crevasse, seriously in
juring one of his legs and compelling a
retreat. Two days later the party was
aroused at midnight by an icequake un-
der them, due to pressure. In a few
moments many dogs were crushed and
the sledges destroyed. The members
Of the expedition narrowly escaped with
their lives, though they managed to
save their precious sleeping bags and
some dogs and provisions.
On Mr.. Wellman's condition becom-
ing alarming the brave Norwegians
dragged him ii sledge BY forced
marches nearly 200 miles to headquar-
ters, arriving there early last April.
Mr.. Wellman is still unable to walk and
will probably be permanently crippled.
The expedition killed AZ bears and many
walruses. Wellman and his compan-
ions found no trace in Franz Josef land
OF the missing aeronaut, Andree.

- AbA w
Grant an Unpledged Franchise.
LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The johannes
burg correspondent of the Daily Mail
says instead Of replying to the proposal
of MI. Chamberlain to refer the fran
chise controversy to q joint commission
Of inquiry, the T%ransyaal government
will intimate willingness to grant a five
year simple franchise. unclogged by re-
strictions and with representation Of
the gold fields extended to one-fourth of
the volksraad, thus exceeding the fifth
demanded by Sir Alfred Miner.
This apparent surrender, however,
must be received with caution. Unless
the new laws are properly secured by
etfectual guarantees they may only be
intended to grant the shadow of re-
forms with the object of gaining time
and placing Great Britain at q disad-
vantage.

GREATLY HELPS DREYFus.

Exposure of Another Forgery a Severe
Blow to the Prosecution.
RENNEs, France, Aug. 1s.-1he pub
LEGATION by the Figaro Of the Schneider
telegram exposing another alleged for
gerry, caused a great sensation here and
the general impression is that Schnei-
der's disavowal has dealt q severe blow
to the prosecution, killing the only
point in General Mercier's evidence that
was dangerous to Dreyfus. 1t is ex-
pected the matter will be brought up in
court today by NJ. Demange, who has a
splendid opportunity to drive a nail into
the coffin of the prosecution. q
The expected adjournment off, the
Dreyfus trial did not materialize yester-
day, but in spite Of the difficulties en-
countered by the defense the session
opened with brighter prospects for the
prisoner, as NJ. DeMange came primed
with questions to be put to General
Roget. The latter resumed his deposi-
ton, dealing with the theft of Ester
hazy's letters from Mile. Pays. A num-
Der Of the counsel's shots made the gen
eral squirm in his seat.

NO ONE ESCAPES.

Hennions police system is now a government craze. Men take the names of visitors who call upon fashionable womens days. Others stand at the doors of churches making lists of the worshippers, and children at school are spied upon and taught to relate the happenings in their homes to their teachers, half of whom report to the police. Letters are opened and read and women detectives sit at all the telephone offices to hear the conversa- tions.
 The spy system has spread its meshes everywhere. Men in employ Of the government also stand before every restaurant in the city. and when they see prominent people enter they fol- low and sit next to them, eavesdrop- ping, during the meal. There was never during monarchical or imperial reign anything which equals the pres ent system of violation of the privacy of personal affairs.-From a Paris Let ter.

JOSH BILLINGS PHILOSOPHY.

We allwuss dispize those whom we kant fiatter.
 It is better to be llikt by a mule than to be praised bi fouf.
 Men fiatter the improvident, but ssl- dom fiatter the caushus.
 He who knows a grate menny trades iz sure to be master of none.
 Mans pasnuns make him more ter rible than enny beast ov the dessert.
 No man ever shouldered a ton yet, either bi the aid of tears or prayer.
 You kant make a man think accord ing to law; -yu may make him ackt so
 What a man gets uniustly is harder to hang onto than the hot end ov poker
 There is no labor-saving invenshun that kompares with the eye ov the mas ter.
 The man that iz allwuss shure that he iz going to be ritch next year is sell dom mistaken about it.
 Thare is a great difference between a brave and reckless man, and the two should not be konfounded.
 Children are a constant anxiety. The only time we kan konsider them safe iz when they are fast asleep.
  more than sickness iz; it iz only the cauze ov it that may be dishonorable.
 Even the bees will rob a week hive ov it's hunny; just so a weak nation fails a victim to the neighboring strong one.
 One ov the most diffikult things in a mans karakter to judge ov is aktual amount of happiness he is possessed OV.
 Happiness haz been defined so often and in so many different ways, that I am almost ov the opinion that it doesn't exist at all.
 The only way to find all about a man iz to set him on the top round of a lad der and then stand off and take a good square lCok at him.

AN UNDERSTUDY.

The devils hoof was muddy With sleep his eyes were dim; He sought an understudy To play his part for him, Whilst he took rest and washed and
 dressed
 Within his palace grim. Although I am expected To need a breathing space, No duty is neglected
 Till some one fills my place. And works" quoth he, such ill for me That evil grows apace." There was a pious woman Who dwelt beneath the sun; In willing service no man Did more than she had done: She strove to preach. to train and
 teach.
 And counsel every one. She clothed the poor and needy In suitable attire; She nursed the sick and saedy And raised them from the mire; No godly work she seemed to shlrk' No pleasure to desire. Yet frightened she her labors (So-called) of Christian love, By stories of her neighbors Too subtle to disprove. She roared as sweet, this dame dis
 erect.
 As any sucking dove. She cheered each dry committee With tales of absent folk, And let nor truth nor pity Impair her little joke. Till love were soiled and lives were
 spoiled
 By every word she spoke. With talk her tasks beguiling, She blackened peoples names, Nor dreamed that such reviling Annulled her saintly claims And turned to naught the good she
 wrought
 (According to St. James,. The devil saw the matron And merrily cried he: I'm proud to be the patron Of gossips such as she! Whilst I lie still she'll work my will And be my deputy

MISS BEECHER DIDN'T KNOW.

The mystery surrounding the two tel egrams received by Miss Voice Adams Beecher announcing, 4s was supposed, the accidental death of her fiance, Ed win Buckley Guilbert of Colorado, while hunting at Paul Smiths in the Adairondacks, was cleared up this morning by Robert Loughlin, broth er-in-law of Miss Beecher, who de- clared that he wrote the telegrams himself. MT. Loughlin said that he thought of the plan in order to save Miss Beecher from the embarrassment which she would naturally feel if her intended husband did not turn up at the appointed time for the wedding
 'I admit now" he said this morning, when seen at Miss Beecher's home, that l made a grave mistake in taking the action that I did. But you see the wedding was set for November r. and as nothing had been heard from Guil- bert up to the day before the wedding l thought the best thing to do was to write myself a telegram. I did this on November 6. This was the bogus dis patch announcing that Guilbert had been accidentally shot while hunting in the Adirondacks. On the following day I wrote a telegram to the effect that he had died there. Had l realized the nOtoriety that would necessarily follow the action I should never have sent those telegrams. I can only hope now that the incident will be closed for good and ail.
 None of us know where Guilbert is, and. as a matter of fact, none of us care. Particularly is this true as re- gards Miss Beecher. Indeed, she is rather glad to get out of the marriage. They have been engaged about two years and in that period the engage ment has been broken several times. Miss Beecher has gone up the state to spend several weeks. She does not want any more publicity, and I make this explanation so that all further eXpla- nation may cease. I do not know where GuiIbert is, and l want to em- phasize the fact that we do not care where he is"
 Laughlin also admitted that Guilbert a month ago intimated that his mar riage to Miss Beecher was doubtful.
