Wal TER wELLMAN RETURNS.
Ehe Man Who Engineered the Famous
Polar Expedition Reaches Norway
After Successful Trip.

Tromsoe, Norway, Aug. 1S.-Wa1ter
Wellman and the survivors of the Polar
expedition led by him arrived here yes
terday evening on the steamer Capella,
having successfully completed their
explorations in Franz Josef Land Mr.
Wellman has discovered important new
lands and many islands. The expedi-
ton brings a grim story of Arctic
tragedy. In the autumn Of 1898 an
outpost called Port Mckinley was es-
tablished in latitude 81. It was a
house built of rocks and rooted over
with walrus hide. Two Norwegians,
Paul Bjorvig and Bert Bentzen, the
latter of whom was with NanSen ON
the Fran, remained there. The main
party wintered in a canvas-cOvered b ut
called Harmsworth house, at Cape
Tegethoff, on the southern point of
HALLS island, latitude so.
About the middle of February, be
fore the rise of the sun to its winter
height, Mr.. Wellman, with three Nor
wegians and 10 dogs, started north. 1t
was the earliest sledge journey on ne
cord in that high latitude On reach
ing Port Mckinley, Mr.. Wellman found
Bentzen dead, but Bjorvig, according
to promise, had kept the body in the
house, sleeping beside it through two
months of Arctic darkness. Notwith-
standing his terrible experience, the
survivor was safe and cheerful.
Pushing northward through rough
ice and severe storms, with a c0ntinu-
Gus temperature for ten days between
40 and so degrees below zero. the party
found new lands north of Freedom is
land, where Nansen landed in 1895.
By the middle OF March all hands were
| confident of reaching latitude 81 or 88,
if not the pole itself. Then began a
succession of disasters. Mr. Wellman,
while leading the party, fell into a
snow-covered crevasse, seriously in ur-
ing one of his legs and compelling a
retreat. Two days later the party was
aroused by an icequake under them due
to pressure. In few moments many
| dogs were crushed and the sledges de-
stroyed. The mem bers of the expedi-
ton 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, as Inflammation set in,
the brave Norwegians dragged him on
a sledge, by forced marches, nearly 200
miles to headquarters, arriving there
early last April. He.is still unable to
walk and will probably be permanently
| crippled.

A NEGRO STATE WANTED.
Bishop Holsey, a Noted Negro Divine, Says
This Would Solve the Race Problem
Discussing the Franchise.

Chicago, Aug, 19.-''The value of the
co1ored vote-how to use it for the bet
terment of the race was discussed at
yesterdays meeting of the Afro Ameri-
can council in session here. A resolution
declaring that no candidate for Office
should receive the colored ballot unless,
in advance of election, he pconaised to
make the path of the African to the
voting booth as straight, smooth and
safe'' as that of any ether American
citizen was adopted.
Bishop l.. II. Holsey, of Texas, pro-
posed to the members an entirely new
scheme for the solution of the race
problem His idea is to have the ne
groes bui&d up a separate government
of their own, but, instead of deporting
them to Africa, as advocated by Bishop
Turner, of Georgia, he would have this
Mecca of the colOred men located With
In the United States. Bishop HOlsey
explains his proposition as follows:
There is but one way to solve this problem.
and that is separation and segregation. That
rs, the negro race must occupy a state or states
and hold territory to themselves. Tomaketthis
movement effective, 1900, 900 voters should sign
q petition to congress to set apart sufficient
area of the public domain with proper 1egiSla-
latfve restrictions by which a state or states
may be erected which will be distinctly negro
states, having all the rights powers, privileges,
functions and political faculties given other
states in the Union.

GEN. JIMINEz ARRESTED.
Aspiraut for the Presidency of Santo Doc

American Officer at Cienfuegos.

Havana, Aug. 19.-In view of the
fact that Col. Bacallao, chief of the
secret police, persisted in his decfara-
ton that Gen. Jiminez, the aspirant to
the presidency of San Domingo, was in
Havana, either not having left or hav-
ing returned, the military authorities
tefegraphed to Cienfuegos instructing
Capt Stamper, collector of customs
there, to ascertain whether Jiminez
was on the Menendez steamer
and to take him under arrest if
that should be the case. Jnst as the
steamer was about leaving Cjenfuegos,
Capt. Stamper located JimiRez and ar
rested him. Jiminez denounced the ar
rest as an outrage. He said he had
broken no law and would not yield ex-
cept to force. Capt. Stannper replied
that he was ready to use force if neces-
sary, and Jiminez then yielded, re-
marking that he did so only because
he could not help himself

THE RECENT HURRICANE.
Fears of a PestiIence in Many Towns in
Porto Rico Through Decaying Bodies
Many Towns Demolished.

New York. Aug. 18.-A dispatch to
the Herald from San Juan says: Com
munication has now been restored in
the direction of Ponce as far as Caguas.
The whole country has been devas-
tated. In every section the hurricane
destroyed all the towns and villages.
The people whose homes were wrecked
are wandering about seeking food and
shelter. In the towns the stencil of
the decaying bodies under the ruins OF
homes and public buildings is almost
unbearable. In Yabucca both of the
government physicians were caught in
the wreckage and wounded. The town
will be set on fire in order that an cpl
denic may be avoided.
DR.. Altman, of Areccabo, writes that
up to August Is no assistance of any
kind had reached there. There is
almost an unbearab1e stencil and I'M
less aid comes within a few days, he
declares, there must follow a fearful
epidemic. It is certain that there are
many bodies lying in a state of putri-
fcatiOn, but it is impossible to find Ia
borers to clean up the towns.
