"a DIPLOMATIC TRTU-NPH"
AMBASSADOR WHITE TELLS OF THE
PRAISE GIVEN TO AMERICAS
COURSE IN CHINA

Andrew D. White, United States Ambassador
to Germany, registered at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel yesterday On Tuesday next he will sail
on tre Deutschland for Berlin, to resume his
duties When asked about the Chinese situa-
tion he said:
There is nothing particularly new to talk
about. The impression prevails in diplomatic
circles in Europe that up to this time our Gov
ernment has shown the greatest skill in handling
the difficult problems which the Powers have
been obliged to face. One of the shrewdest
members Of the Diplomatic Corps told me just
before sailed for this country that this Gov
ernment was the only one that scored diplo-
matte triumph. The opinion seems to be quite
general that this country acted with great wis
dom and discretion when things at their
worst. The other nations apparently took 1t for
granted that their Ministers had been mur-
dered through the connivance Of the Chinese
Government, and they dropped efforts look
ing to the relief Of their legations. The
United States. the other hand, acted on the
theory that the Chinese Government was not
necessarily hostile, or guilty of trying to harm
our Minister. and we were the first to hear Of
the safety of the Ministers through the Con-
ger dispatch. Again, 1t good judgment for
our Government to hold aloof at Tien-Tsin. Our
entire course with reference to China leaves us
on better footing with that empire than per
haps any other nation"
Mr. White said that he had not had an op-
portunity 10 study the political situation close
iy, but from what ne had heard he thought
there was no doubt OF the reelection Of Presi-
dent Mckinley.
The Ambassadors attention was called to a
dispatch in an afternoon paper announcing that
a Russian transport had been detained by the
home authorities at wilma, the officers having
been told that instead of going to China they
would be needed TO fight enemy across their
border, meaning Germany.
There be no foundation for such a
story" said Mr.. White.
Mr White VIII be accompanied 10 Berlin on
his return on Tuesday by his grandson, Andrew
White Newbury. who hereafter will be his pri-
Vate secretary.

TO SAIL FOR THE POLE.
WILLIAM ZIEGLER WILL EQUIP AN EX-
PEDITION TO THE FAR NORTH.

There is to be another attempt to reach the
North Pole. It is to be backed by the money of
William Ziegler the we'll known capitalist and
real estate operator of this city. and put into
execution by Evelyn B. Baldwin who has al
ready penetrated far into the icy recesses Of the
mysterious North land, and who as member
of the Walter Wellman expedition spent the
winter of 1S9S-'99 Franz Josef Land.
The detailed plans of the expedition have not
yet been made public. Just how the explorers
are to reach the spot where the compass needle
points straight down and the motionless lode
star is directly overhead is still being discussed
by the two principals in the enterprise.
When seen last night however, Mr. Ziegler
said that ships would be used far north as
possible, from which point the dash would be
made over the ice in sledges Two ships he
added. would most likely be needed, so that one
might remain behind while the other returned
south for fresh supplies. BY this plan the ship
remaining north would be used headquarters
and rallying point for land expeditions.
The explorers are expected to start next sum
mer unless unavoidable delay is encountered in
the preparations. Since the ships will doubtless
be of special construction, considerable time
may thus be required to build them As has
been found in former expeditions, and especially
in the voyage of the Fran, ships constructed to
withstand the enormous vicelike power of newly
forming ice are far more practical than those
built for commercial purposes and remodeiled.
1t is patriotism which has inspired Mr.. Zeg-
Ter with his present ambition He said last
night:
1T has been my lifelong desire to know thar
the American flag was the first to float over
the North Pole. If / were not so old l would
go as far as I could to the Pole. As 1t is, [
can only supply the means for another to make
the attempt.
It is possible that Walter Wellman may also
be a member of the expedition. Mr.. Wellman
has already gained considerable renown for his
dash TO the Pole two years ago.
Mr.. Baldwin born in Illinois. He was a
member of the Peary expedition of 1S93-'94, re-
turning with Feary and Lee to winter at Ami
Versary Lodge. In the spring of 1894 he crossed
the ice of Greenland on sledges.
Mr.. Ziegler has considerable interests in sew
eral different lines of business. He is connected
with the Royal Baking Powder Company, the
Realty Trust Company and THE Brooklyn Daily
Eagle" His home is at No. 624 Fifth-ave.

COLONIZATION IN THE NTH.
DRY DOLLAR" SULLIVAN'S SENATE DIS
TRICT FULL OF BOARDING
HOUSES"

It is alleged that methods in coIonizng
have been adopted in the With, With and xth
Assembly districts, which compose the XIth
Senate District. The XIth is Senator Timothy
D. Sullivan's baiwick.
There have suddenly been opened in this dis
trict it is said, numerous alleged boarding
houses, in which are housed many men who, it
is thought. are colonizers. To get information
about the so-called boarders In these houses
is much more difficult than to find out about the
persons living in the lodging houses.
Charles H. Murray, the Republican leader Of
the With Assembly District was seen last
night at the headquarters in the district, which
is at No. 271 Grand-st.
"An effort to colonize." he said, 'is being
made in every part of this district Many per-
sons who have been hired to vote illegally
Election Day have been sent to live with fam
lilies who are supposed to take in boarders. 1t is
very hard to ferret out these persons. We are
doing our utmost to discover persons who have
Illegally registered. There were about twelve
rests at the registry places in the district to-
day, and several hundred persons were chal-
lenged. The only way the Democrats can win
this district is by colonization.
In the With Assembly District the Republican
workers were busy yesterday in challenging per-
sons WHO they thought would have no legal right
to vote at the coming election No arrests were
made however, for illegal registering so far
could be learned.
James E. March is the Republican leader Of
this district, and of his chief workers is
Thomas McNulty, who is the Republican
dtdate TO" the Senate in the XIth District. It
was reported that a stupendous effort to col
onlze had been made in the Fifteenth Election
District Of the With Assembly District, and of
the l61 men who registered at the polling place
of that election district yesterday forty-seven
were challenged by Julius GerSen, the RepubH-
can captain of the election district.
In the course Of the day Gersen had talk
with Superintendent McCullagh about the mat
ter.
When seen at his home. No II Stanton-st,
last night by a Tribune reporter. Gersen said:
On the first registration day last year ninety-one
persons registered IN election district and to-
day the rolls contain the names of 167 persons. L
cannot explain this remarkable increase in this
years first days registration the same day
last year. have lived in this district twentythree
years, and do not think the district has grown
wonderfully In the last year. In houses where
there was only voter last year. from TO
fifteen persons registered to-day. This increase
calls for a thorough investigation

TWO JUMP FROM FLYING TRAIN.
POLICEMAN FOLLOWS AND CAPTURES HIS
PRISONER. WHO HAD CRAWLED
THROUGH CAR WINDOW.

Policeman George Atwell. Of the Mount Yer
non police. yesterday had the thrilling expert
ence of jumping from a railroad train going at
the rate OF thirty miles hour. He after
an alleged bicycle thief, who tried TO make his
escape by jumping through the car window.
Atwell taking William Warren, who had
been caught in the act of making away with a
wheel in Mount Vernon on Thursday, back from
Police Headquarters in this city.
The men boarded the 1:O4 p. nj. train on the
New-York, New-Haven and Hartford Railroad
at Grand Central Station. When the train
reached Mott Haven, Warren asked Atwell to
let him go TO the toilet room. Atwell did this,
but stood outside of the door waiting for him.
Suddenly Atwell heard the lock click. Then he
heard the window squeak. He did not wait a
second longer. Rushing out on the platform.
AtWell arrived in time TO see Warren jump out
of the window. He struck the earth and rolled
along like ball. The policeman did not hesi-
tate moment. He jumped off the train, which
was going at full speed, and landed on his face.
The majority of the people In the car saw the
two objects pass the windows. and thought the
train had struck party of men. Mayor Fiske
Of Mount Vernon rushed to the platform just in
time to see AtWell get up and start for the es-
capped prisoner, who had a good start on hinl
The Mayor pulled the bellrope and had the train
stopped After the particulars had been learned
the train started again, Mayor Fiske taking
Warrens coat, which he had abandoned, To
Mount Vernon. Atwell had 10 chase his man a
mile along the railroad tracks before he caught
him. Warren did not stop until after the po-
lceman had fred several shots at him.
Warren taken to Mount Vernon, Where
both Of the men received medical trea tment.
The prisoners shoulder had been dislocated by
the Jump. and Atwell was badly cut about the
face Neither of them was seriously injured,
however
