An Andree Discovery Hoax

A correspondent in the Russian Gazette
gives the following account of the origin
of the 4ateS. Andree hoax, which. having
regard to the manners and customs of a
certain class in Siberia. is the most likely
explanation that has yet appeared.
"A friend, a doctor in Siberia-the name
is sufficiently indicated for identified ton
writes him that the whole story is the
outcome of an exchange Of practical Jokes
between two gold-mine owners. One of
them on. NJ last summer wrote from
Krasnojarsk to his friend. saying that he
had met Andree, who had descended in his
balloon al the local club, and he was
very jolly fellow and they had several
drinks together, etc. The friend was
quite taken in, and repeated the details
to all his acquaintance. When he found
out that he had been rather badly hoaxed
he determined 70 be revenged, and after
waiting many months, until the origfna!
jest was forgotten, he sent ". Nh the
intelligence about the finding OF the dead
bodies OF Andree and his companions by
Tunguses, which caused such a sensa-
ton all over the world. The news was
inserted in the local paper. and thence
telegraphed 20 Russia and abroad From
what I know OF the class OF men 70
which these two friends evidently belonf.
I should say their predominant feeling
at present is one of intense delight a.
having hoaxed every newspaper in the
world, and probably every reader outside
Russia itself. where these things are bet
Ter understood. Il IS not unlikely that
this success viii lead 70 further attempts
Of q similar kind. The next time these
gentlemen and their friends foregather
over the vodka OF Moscow and the wines
Of the imperial domains. their foaduess
for this sort az jest may be expected 70
produce a more carefully concoctsd story
for foreign consumption Moscow Let

When the Spanish War Ended.

Formally the war Spain is over, and diplomatic
relations have resumed. There an instance IN TINS

world and how light Intellectual diplomacy is, after all
BY the oily phrases diplomacy now SPANS friend
But for half century Spain viii nourish the most intense
hatred for Americans As for the conclusion
of the war diplomacy nothing to do with its ending
almost as little had with its beginning With
out the crisis in destruction of the Maine we might
have urging Spain peaceful lines yet The man

passed Corregidor bay and his steel shells

United States that invaluable ally success"
Before that this nation doubted The Americans
believed they would eventually but they expected TO lose
battles. Dewey's blow satisfied American that we
were to have would not win; that were
TO have nothing growing And more than
that Europe half inclined to NEEDLE that the
United States was no subject interference.

DELAWARE COMPANIES SAID TO
BE INVOLVED IN THE DEAL

DELAWARE COMPANIES SAID TO
BE INVOLVED IN THE DEAL
The rumors that have been afloat for
a week concerning the combination of
small telephone companies against the
Bell Telephone Company are positively
said to have some foundation. The pro-
ject seems to have its origin in Balti-
more, and the objects are to absorb all
the companies not connected with or
controlled by the Bell company. Among
these would be included the Delmarvia
of this city, and the several companies
ON the Peninsula of Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia.
A business man of this city, who held
considerable Of the stock Of the Del
marvia Company, said: "A Mr.. Meyer
dirk, Of Baltimore. came here several
days ago and bought my stock. He gave
a check and had it cashed. Whether
or not he represents a syndicate | do
not know, but / suspect that he is in
directly connected with the combine
that is being formed in New York to
operate in opposition to the Bell COM
pany. The majority of the stock OF the
Delmarvia company is now held by
Baltimoreans. having been purchased
recently. The purchasers bought for
from 81 to IS per share, having a par
value of $40"
In financial circles it was learned
that the proposed combine will include
the Diamond State Telephone Com
pany.

with bright eyes and teeth OF pearly
whiteness. The turkeys, which were
monsters, were nearly as large as their
bearers, their heads nearly touching
tho ground as they were carried by
their feet, slung over the shoulders of
their possessers, with a leg on each
side of their necks. Many were the
questions hurled at the turkeys, as 70

neither the boys nor turkeys seemed
