The Furtherest Point North Yet
Reached

Christiania, September ga tele-
gram from Tromsoe, Norway, in re-
porting the return of the Stella Polare
with the Duke of Abruzzi's Artic expe-
ditiOn on board, says h Stella Polare
reached a point in latitude 1888 No,
thus penetrating further north than
NanSen's record. The Stella
Polare remained fast in the ice for
eleven months. The pressure stove IN
her sides, making a IL fifteen inches
in breadth. Her machinery was also
damaged.
The members of the expedition suf-
fered many hardships and We're COM
PEELED to eat their sledge dogs. A
Norwegian engineer and two Italians,
members of the expedition, persisted.
DIR. Nansen, who returned from his
expedition to the Arctic regions in Au-
gust 1896. reported that he left his
vessel, h Fran, March IA, 1895, in "a

BRYAN ON SEWALL
He Pays a High Tribute to His Polit-
fcsI I'm Campaign of'96.

Grafton, w. Va, September 6.-BrY-
an was visibly shocked on being in
formed of the death of Hon. Arthur
Sewall, his fellow candidate on the ma
tional democratic ticket in 1896. He re-
ceived the news through a message
from Mr.. Sewall's son and immediate
ly sent a message of coincidence. Mr..
Bryan expressed himself as panied at
the news and said that Mr.. Sewall was
a warm personal friend as well as a
political associate. Il met him first at
the Chicago convention" he said, and
during the campaign had opportunity
to become well acquainted with him
and ave seen him al intervals since,
the last time in Georgia last Febru-
airy. He was a man OF strong char
acter. deep convictions and upright
life, and he had the courage to stand
for his opinions, no matter how great
the opposition might be. When the
silver fight divided the party, he was
n of the very few national commit
teemen, If not the only one, in New Eng
land, who voted with the silver element
of the party. He was a banker, but be-
leved in bimetallism. He had a con
siderable income, but was willing to pay
income tax and was an earnest sup
porter of democratic principles in gen.
eral. His death brings loss to the en-
tire party as well as sorrow to those
who know him Intimately"

FUSION IN MINNESOTA
Democrats and Populists Nominate a
State Ticket.

st. Paul, Mimi, September 6.-Fu-
sion was effected between the Mime
sofa democrats and populists today
and a full state ticket was named,
headed by Governor John Lind. An
electoral ticket was also endorsed by
the two conventions.
The democratic convention was one
of the most enthusiastic gatherings Of
the party ever held in Minnesota.
Nearly every one of the LAO dele
gates vas in his seat. Governor Limbs
nomination to succeed himself was
made by reclamation with a roar.
The platform reneWS allegiance to
the national democracy and its prin-
ciples, r~ejoiceS in the nomination of
Bryan and Stevenson, condemns the
Porto Rican tariff, extends sympathy
to the BOer republics in South Africa
n condemns the republicans for not
expressing sympathy with them; con-
dennis the high protective tariff as
productive of trusts, approves the er-
forts of organized labor for a shorter
working day, very strongly endorses
the administration of Governor Lind in
all particulars and demands that the
gross earnings tax on railroads be in
creased to 4 per cent.
The ticke was ratified tonight by a
mass meeting of the two conventions,
addressed by Governor Lind.

GERMANY'S REFUSAL
To Withdraw Troops From Pekin De-
lights the English.

London, September Z, $3.50 a. m--
Germany's polite refusal to withdraw
from Pekin was commented upon with
keen satisfaction in London, and the
hope is expressed that Lord Salisbury
will show similar firmness. The Brit
ish reply has not yet been formulated.
Lord Salisbury desires to consult his
colleagues and has notified the foreign
office of his to return TO
London from the continent early next
week.
There is little doubt however, that
Germany's reply is the outcome of the
discussion carried on during the last
few days between the European cabi-
nets, and that the compromise policy
of maintaining the occupation of the
capital, but Withdrawing the greater
part of the troops TO Tien Tsin will be
found to have general concurrence.
From Shanghai it is reported that
Japan has notified the power of her
willingness to withdraw her troops,
provided an adequate guard is left
for the legations and on condition that
China formally requests evacuation
and opens genuine signs for peace. 1t
is likely that when Field Marshal Count
Won Waldersee arrives a fortnight
hence at Taku he will find the allies
agreed upon some common policy.
Chang Oh Tung, the WI Tang vice
roy. has telegraphed an urgent appeal
to the British consul in Shanghai, urg-
ing Great Britain to institute peace
negotiations.
1t is reported that 9, 200 Boxers have
been killed and wounded in conflicts
with the troops of General Yuan Chi
Kai, military governor of Shan Tung.

Roosevelt Begins His Western Tour

Detroit, Mich, September 6.-The in
itial meeting of Governor Roosevelt's
western tour, which was held in the
big assembly room of the Detroit Light
Guard armory tonight was all that
the governors most ardent partisans
could have desired in point of atten-
dance and enthusiasm. The floor and
galleries of the great hall We're crowd
ed and many were unable 10 obtain
standing room.
The vice presidential candidate re-
ceived a tremendously enthusiastic
greeting.
When the governor arose to speak,
the great crowd arose almost en- masse
and remained standing and shouting
for some time. The governors speech
occupied about an hour in delivery and
was listened to throughout with
thoughtful attention and the telling
sarcastic and witty points We're quick
ly caught and applauded. Governor
Roosevelt gave the audience an object
lesson when he asserted that our sol
diers in the Philippines had less TO
fear from any body of armed bandits
in that country than they had to fear
from the principles of the Kansas
City platform and the success of the
democratic ticket. He said five mem
bers of the regular army We're present
and he asked them to stand up that
the audience might see their tyrantS.
Five soldiers from the Fourteenth in
fantry at Fort Wayne, who occupied
a front seat, when thus invited, arose
and were applauded until their cheeks
glowed with blushes.

NO improvement in the rate of trans

hal that all Of the marines were with

ter OF news that a been anticipated

The republican party e not dis

publican party brags about existing
conditions, just remember hat h
trust condition is the main condition
that IL brags about. The republican
party has been in power For nearly
four years and yet more 5 have
been organized in the last three and a
half years than were organized In all
the previous history OF the United

"And yet, when you talk 10 people
about trusts. the only answer the re-
publicans make Is that there Is great
prosperity. but il is always somewhere
else. in some other count
IF you will take Dun's report You
will find that every month in 1900
shows more failures than the same
month the year before. and You will
find factories are being closed and

He declared that all the talk about
the enormous prosperity OF the coun-
try Is not true. Even IL true. there
were greater questions than a full din
ner pail. This argument of the hog
trough was a SANDER on the working
man who. he believed. could see far
enough ahead to see what mfhtarism
meant for him As a remedy for the
trusts he would squeeze the water out
and put on the free list articles mo-
nopolized by trusts.
