VERY SICK
Must Cancel Speaking Engage
ments Far Ahead.

Chicago, Oct. "a special to the
Chronicle from Webster, Iowa, says:
William Jennings Bryan is a very
sick man. Friends who spent Sunday
with him at the farm of Fred T. White,
Democratic candidate for governor of
Iowa, three miles from Webster, are
afraid that Mr.. Bryan may have tenn
porariIy to abandon his campaign work
not only in Iowa, but in Kentucky and
Ohio.
When Mr.. Bryan awoke yesterday
morning he complained about his throat
and lungs, but said that he had suffered
from a similar ailment once before and
that it had yielded to treatment.
Great crowds of farmers from all over
KeOkuk county called at the White
farm to see Mr.. Bryan in the morning
and afternoon. and, although he tried
hard to remain outdoors, his physical
weakness mastered his courage and
he had to retire several times to his
room. A local physician who was called
in last night to treat the distinguished
invalid recommended a long term of
absolute rest and quiet.
1t is understood that steps will be
taken by interested friends to cancel
Mr.. Bryan's engagements, which in
clude two and three speeches daily and
a tour covering the width of Iowa, end
ing at Sioux City Saturday.

ABSENCE OF FLAGS.
Havana Resents the Recent Orders of
the Governor.

Havana, Oct. 9-Havana is generally
gay with flags but today the city look
ed dull most of the f1agStaffS in the city
being bare of bunting. The stars and
stripes were flying over the public
buildings and a majority of the con
sulates showed the flags of their re-
spective natiOnalities, but private resi-
exceptions showed no flags. Particu-
larly noticeable was the absence of the
British cOlOrs over the residence of the
British consul which is on the main
square. This is considered an unofficial
way of showing the diSpleasure excited
by what is considered an arbitrary and
unnecessary order. No flags were hoist
ed over the Spanish consulate and Sc
nor Sagrary of the Spanish consulate,
declares that he will not raise a flag
until Mayor LacOste considers the dan
displaying the Spanish flag is over OF
until he has received instructions on
the subject from the Spanish ambassa-
dor to the United States.
Mayor LacOste says the flags were
prohibited as a police measure to pre-
serve order. He had certain knowledge
that some Spaniards intended to decor
ate club houses all over the city with
flags. This policy of the Spaniards, the
mayor says, is one of the pin pricks
they employ for stirring the passions of
the Cubans while they themselves do
not break the letter of the law. The
order, the mayor declares, was not in
tended to suppress the flags of all ma
tions, as none but the Spanish flag has
caused any disturbance. The flag over
the Spanish consulate, if hOisted, he as
serted would be protected even at the
cost of lives of hundreds of Cubans.

WELLMAN RETURNS.
Has No Hope of Ever Hearing
of Andree.

New York, Oct. 9.-Wa1ter We1lman,
the Arctic explorer who recently re-
turned from a journey of exploration on
the Franz Josephland, arrived in this
city on the steamship Umbria. He was
accompanied from England by his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. WeIlman took a train for
their home in Washington. The severe
injuries the explorer received from a
fall in an ice creVaSSe, still kept him
upon crutches and he had to be assisted
from the ship by his wife and a friend.
Mr.. Wellman left TrOmSOe, Norway,
in June of last year for the purpose of
exploring Franz JOsephland. His pro-
greSS was arrested by the accident in
which his right leg was injured. When
asked today about the accident he said !:
when once s1edge dogs get stuck
with their load in rough ice they are
more obstinate than mules and you
have got to help them out yourself. On
March 20, my dogs got stuck in rough
ice and got out of the sledge, took off
their harness and put it around my
chest and shoulders, intending to do my
own teaming until the dogs became
more tractable. AS I was walking along
head down and hauling my sled, put
my foot in crack in the ice 18 inches
deep and so covered with snow as to be
hidden. My right leg went down the
crevasse, scraping the shinbone and
otherwise injUring the limb.
For eight consecutive days walked
across the ice thus injured and then fell
ions helped me up, put me on a Sledge
and dragged me to the nearest retreat,
the headquarters house at Cape Tege-
thoff where remained in bed, crippled
from April 9 to July 4. In August I
went to London for surgical treatment.
I live in the hope that am not per-
manently crippled"
Mr.. Wellman was also asked if he
had any hope or expectation that Prof.
Andree's attempt to reach the pole in
a balloon had been successful.
1T is my conviction he said, that
Prof. Andree's airship, shortly after it's
ascent, was driven to the eastward and
southwark and destroyed in it's descent
by contact with ice, when falling into
Barentz Sea, which is to the eastward
of Spitzbergen, for there was plenty of
ice in that sea in July two years ago.
1.-TWO days after his ascent Prof. An
dree released two hOming pigeons with
a message to the effect that his balloon
was going eastward and southwark
which would bring him over Barentz
Sea. If the lifting power of his gas had
become exhausted and he was forced to
descend, his car would drag and his
buoys, stores and supplies would be
scattered broadcast, his airship demol-
ished and he and his two companions
destroyed have no hope of hearing
of any of them again"

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-09-10

cifc Is now anxious to secure possession,
stances the government road has close
and profitable relations with the Grand
Trunk, the Canadian Pacif1c's rival
Sir William Van Horne, chairman Of the
directors of the Canadian Pacific, in a
public interview, within the last few
days, said that his road would be glad
to undertake the management of the In
tercolonial. If the government would
lease the road for long term of years
the Canadian Pacific would be willing to
guarantee that the railway would cost
the people of Canada nothing In the flu
ture, that the maximum rates would
never be higher than of the present roads
and that the government should have pow
er to regulate these rate and lower them
under certain conditions. Sir William
Said that II the Canadian Pacific railway
had control of the Intercolefial 1t would
be willing for yearly subsidy of $780,
600 to establish fast Atlantic line of
passenger steamers which would ply be-
tween Liverpool and Canada, running to
Quebec in summer and to Halifax In win
ter Sir William claimed that at present
the Intercolonial was costing the people
$3.50 900 year, though this fact Is dis
guised by clever bookkeeping and the
manipulation of the capital account. AS
a further bait Sir William said that the
Canadian Pacific would he pTepared to

cause 1t may indicate new line of cleav-
age in Canadian politics. For some years
past an agitation in favor of government
ownership of railways has been carried
on and strong feeling aroused. Advo-
Gates of this policy are to be found In
both political parties, but the most prac-
teal steps in this direction have been
taken by the present minister Of rail-
ways, A. G.. Blair. Immediately upon
entering Office he set himself to work to
make the Interco1onial a factor in the
Canadian railway situation. The result
is that the Intercolonial now runs its own
freight and passenger trains from Mon
treal to all points of the maritime prov
inces and is doing a large and growing
business. Then a traffic arrangement was
made with the Grand Trunk by which
the two roads exchanged freight at Mon
treal. This working arrangement was
bitterly opposed by the Canadian Pacific.
From present appearances the Liberal
government will not agree to dispose of
the Intercolonial to the Canadian Pacific
railway, its policy being to extend and
consolidate the system and make 1t in
creasingly effective as a competing road.
Sir William Van Horne's deliverance is
