The speeches made when the new
Spanish minister was presented TO
President Mckinley We're out of the
ordinary. in the matter of plain lam
guage. The minister said Il have
come to renew the relations of friend
ship which have existed from of old
between Spain and the United States,
and which We're interrupted by the
war OF last year. The treaty of peace
which Spain mas signed put an end to
that war, and now, looking only to the
future, Spain desires that her relations
with this republic may be as friendly
as they were in times past, and from
the days in which this country was
struggling to gain its independence"
President Mckinley said in reply:
You will find, Mr.. Minister, cordial
welcome in this country, not only from
those whose friendship you acquired
during your former residence, but
from all our people, who rejoice, as
do, at the renewal of the ancient
bonds of amity which, with brief
interruption, have united our nations
for more than one hundred years.
That these friendly relations may be
confirmed and strengthened, to the
advantage OF both peoples, is my
earnest wish, and can assure you
that every member of this govern
ment will heartily cooperate with
you to that desirable end =

famous Complexion Spr cIa.lsts OF Is Fifth

The reason So many failed to make this

have not followed the right principle
Balms. Creams, Lotions. etc, never have

a preference for civilians dress which

Escape Certain Death-DetafIs of
the Trying Experiences of the
Men Seeking the North PoIe-Stiu
Believes the Route Practicable,
HULL, Eng, Aug. 2S.-Walter Well
man, the leader of the Wellman polar
expedition, who returned to Tromsoe.
Norway, Aug. II, after having success
fully completed exploration in Franz Jo-
seph land, arrived here today. He walks
with the aid of crutches, his right leg,
which was injured by fall into snow
covered crevesse while Mr. Wellman was
leading his party, still being useless. The
explorer was accompanied by the Amer
lean members of the expedition, who are
well. In an interview Mr. WelIman said:
THE object of the expedition was two
fold-first, to complete exploration of
Franz Joseph land, which was success
fully accomplished. The second would
have been achieved, at least to greater
extent than by previous explorers, but
for the accident to myself"
After recording the early work of the
expedition Mr.. Wellman told the story
of the unsuccessful attempt to penetrate
further into the frozen north than had
DR.. Nansen.
1.-The prospects, he said, 'were reas-
surfing. We had three months of the best
season before US, and we were confident
of reaching 81 degrees. Though, of
we were all IN fine form.
"a seemingly trivial accident turned
the advance into retreat. While strug-
Cling with the sledges in rough ice my
right leg was bruised and Sprained by
my falling into a snow-hidden crevesse.
For two days 1 went on, and but for
other circumstances L should have press
ed onward so far that 1 would never
have been able to return alive. At mid
night, March 22, we were awakened by
the crashing of the ice under our feet.
1t swayed, and deep crevasses yawned
about us. Several dogs and sledges were
crushed. In the darkness and storm 1T
was impossible to see a path of safety.
Expecting to be overwhelmed at any
moment by the ice we scrambled over
the field of ice and saved most of our
equipment, except the dog food, reach
ing place of safety in half an hour.
while it was possible TO go on for
time my leg demanded a retreat. The
point at which we turned back was
twenty-five miles northwest of Freeden
islands, where DR.. Nansen landed in
1885. l still believe it possipre to reach
the pole by Franz Joseph land. But l
cannot say if l shall make another at
tempt"
Mr.. Wellmans right leg Is drawn up
foot from the ground and it is not known
whether he will ever again use it. He
will consult specialist Immediately.
