EXPLORER wELLMAN's RETURN.
Discovered Northern Lands-Believes
Andree Has Perished.

Andree Has Perfshed.
Walter Wellman, who left the newspaper
business to become arctic explorer. re-
turned to the city last evening. Mr.. Well
mans right leg was severely injured on his
recent polar expedition and he has been
under the care of London surgeons since he
came back from the far north. 1t was
thought at first that he would lose his foot
but he now hopes that he will not be per-
manently crippled. He Is obliged to use
crutches, and even with them he moves
with some difficulty. He arrived at New
York yesterday from Liverpool on the I'M
hria accompanied by Mrs. Wellman, and
left on the l o'clock train for Washington.
Mr.. Weilman left Tromso, Norway, in
June of last year for the purpose of eXplor-
ing Franz Josef Land, and. incidentally, TO
cok out for a practicable route to the north
pole. The sealing steamer Frthjof took his
party to Cape Flora, in Franz Josef Land,
from which point explorations We're con-
Quoted. March 20, 1899 Mr.. Wellman's
further progress arrested by the ac-
cident in which his right leg was injured
When asked about the accident Mr. Well
man said:
1T was On March 20. I was harnessed
to my sledge to start it, for the dogs will
not pull until they feel the start There
was a crack ahead eighteen inches deep.
drifted over with snow. Into this 1 step
ped, bruising the bone of my foot and
spraining my leg. l pushed forward for
eight days. walking until l would fall down
without the power to rise and then my
companions would set upon my feet.
Finally ] could go further. Then they
dragged me back to the headquarters house
From April to July 1 was laid up at
Cape Tegethoff."
Mr.. Wellman is confident that before
many years pass some one will reach the
north pole. He says:
THE north pole can be reached by indi-
vidual effort. Small parties. small ships.
Nothing elaborate, nothing very costly is
required. Very little remains to he done.
I think the north pole viii be discovered
within ten years 1 think 1 know how it
can be done. If l recover 1 may have some-,
thing to say about it myself. Franz Josef
Land is the best route. 1t is a question OF
plenty of dogs and equipment for rapid
movements
Regarding his explorations, he said that
when he went out the eastern part and
extent of Franz Josef Land were unknown.
Now 1t is all on the map.
When asked If he had any hope or ex-
pectation that Prof. Andree's attempt to
reach the pole in balloon had been sue
cessful, he replied:
1T is my conviction that Prof. Andree's
airship, shortly after its ascent was driven
to the eastward and southwark and de-
stroyed in its descent by contact with
heavy 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."

A VACATION,
President Mckinley to Leave Washingto
for Two or Three Weeks

for Two or Three Weeks.
Washington, May 4.-President Nc
Kinley to-day decided to leave the city
next Monday and to remain away for
two, and possibly three weeks.
According to his present intention,
the President will spend his vacation
at the Hot Springs, Va. He is suffer-
ing from a slight attack of rheumatism
and is also feeling the strain which has
been upon him for many months. He
is anxious to enjoy perfect rest and at
the same time avail himself of hot
baths, which will remove the rheumatic
tendency.
The arrangements for the Presidents
visit have not yet been fully concluded,
but it is likely that special train
will be provided for Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Kinley and will leave here at 10 O'Clock
on Monday morning. reaching the
Springs about 5 o'clock in the after
noon. The President and his wife will
be domiciled at the Homestead Hotel,
as none of the cottages are yet ready
for occupancy.
The Hot Springs are only about eight
hours ride from Washington, so that
the President could return at once to
the Capitol if any occasion arises for
his presence here.
During his absence the President will
transact only such business as abso-
lutely requires his personal attention.
