Siberian Government to In
Vestigate Late Reports.
Official Searching Parties Leave
For the Peninsula.
HANSEN is A SKEPTIC.
Geographical Authorities Be-
lieve the Story
Was Devised by Natives to Sc
cure a Reward.

Krasnoyarsk, Feb. 18-The Siberian
government today ordered further
measures taken to investigate the re-
port that the bodies of Herr Andree and
his two companions had been found
on the Timur peninsula. Several parties
have been started to search the region.
No further news than the first report
of the natives has been received. OIL
Gals say they are convinced that the
report is pure invention, but dlligent
investigation will be made.

noyarsk.-I have dispatched the chleL
Of police of Yeniseisk province to the
scene of the discovery of the supposed
remains of Andree and his companions.
The distance is 308 versts (2O6 miles,.
The journey will occupy three weeks

society.

for news of him, and this latest report
may be made up from details L gave
them. The Tunguses, who know that
the government pays for sucn news
would not hesitate to invent 1t.
If the story is true Andree sailed ,6OO
lilometers inland, which is highly I'M
probable. The place is so near human
habitation that it is hardly likely the
bodies could remain preserved two WIN
tiers without discovery.
BELIEVES ANDREE STILL ALIVE.
London, Feb. 1S.-Our society has no
recent information, but I believe the
Andree report was concocted by the in
habitants of the wild district They
have been asked to watch for Andree,
have description of the balloon and car,
and know he had two companions.
If the balloon descended in August,
eighteen months ago, as it must have
done, the explorers surely could nave

it strange Andree's balloon drifted so

dree statements regarding the same

When we read of an elephant hunter who
has been trampled to death in the wi1ds of
India, we wonder at the foOlhardinesS of a
man who will travel round the world and
endure all manner of hardShips, in order to
court death in far away jungle A man
does not have to make journey to India
in order to court death in manner equally
foolhardy.
Thousands of hard working men are daily
counting death in a much more certain
form, without ever leaving their native vii
lagos or cities. They are the men who neg
lect their health. They are the men who
court death from consumption, some
other deadly disease due to improper or
insufficient nourishment. The man who
suffers from bilious or nervous disorders
who has weak stomach and an impaired
digestion, who has lost the power to eat,
rest or sleep, and who fails to take prompt
ing death in the guise of some fatal malady.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures 90 per cent. of all cases of bronchial,
throat and 1aryngial affections that lead up
to consumption. 1t soothes the cough,
facilitates expectoration and restores the
lost appetite. 1t corrects all disorders of
the digestion, makes the assimilation of

Mexico Machine Imports.

City of Mexico, Feb. 1s.-Imports of
machinery to Mexico for the half year
closing December 81 amount to Sc, 400
600 in gold, an increase over the same
period of last year of $500, 900. Eighty
per cent of the importation was of
American manufacture. Mexican labor
is cheap, but it is not abundant, and
immigration is slow, so that the value
of labor saving machinery is every
where recognized.
