OPENING an Andrce Ruoy.

(Stcckholm despatch .to the London GIobe.)
At meeting of the Academy of Science yezter-
day and IN the presence OF the Arctic explorers
NordenskIold and bathurst and other Swans and
experts. the Andree buoy which was found re-
Gently near Iceland was opened The buoy bore
The inscription ''Andree's Polar Expedition No. g.
1896" and, apart from having lost its original
color it was quite undanzaged. 1t was rensarke d
that, owing to the detective construction of
the worm in the screw of the upper portion of
the buoy. the latter could become unscrewed
very easily, either by the action of the waves or
by pressure from the ice. it also noticed
that the buoy could not have fallen either on
land or on ice as the under portion which IS of
copper, bears no indeutatioEs the result of
such a fall. This is the first Andree buoy which
has been picked up with its upper screw and
copper shell in their proper condition Hitherto
they have been missing.

Br,nn Not So EnsiIx Trained.

Gr5m the Springfield Mass, Republican,
The correspondent OF a leading New York paper
bounded in upon Mr. Bryan In Lincoln the other
evening ard pumped ten questions at him. most
OF which were direct enquiries to what he
would do concerning the finances OF the Gov
CTmcut in case he were chosen President. To
each question Mr.. Bryan sauvely replied: Il viii
discuss questions in my own way and in my own
time" And that all the satisfaction the
visitor extracted from Mr. Bryan. The purpose
OF such tactics i apparent BY enuapping Mr.
Bryan into detailed discussion OF financial
questions the hope was to push the silver issue
TO the front again. The incident shows how dcs-
perate the Republicans are IN their efforts to i-
more the issue OF imperialism and keep the at
tention OF the country upon an old issue in
which the people have lost their interest.

Circulation Statement.
The Russo-American Coup.

AS an evidence that reason is returning
to the State Department-with DR.. Hill, we
observe that, for the first time, distrust Of
Russia is beginning to develop IN Admin
istration circles, and even the White House
is coming to realize the extent to which
it has been made catspaw in this bust
ness. There is now little prospect that
England, Germany AusIla, aE1 italy viii
retire from Pekin, and it is possible that
the other Objectionable feature of the Ro-
manoff- Mckinley proposai-the restoration
of the Empress Dowaser and the reaction
airy element 20 power-,lay be eliminate
from consideration il the peace settlci1 enL
although no doubt Russia VIII press nard
for it's acceptance AMI adoption.
The European press is taking precisely
the view of this clever Muscoyite play
that The Times has from the start. Rus
STA wants the Empress Dowager back on
the throne because she Will now Tecog-
nize her inability TO cope with civilized
powers; something she never believed be-
fore; and she will have a wholesome fear
OF her great neighbor to the north Hence
she can be counted on 10 do business with
Russia, if others are not in the way.
Again the Car does not want the capital
of China TO be removed from PeNin- Its
location at that place is convenient, and
the Imperial court can be held under in
Nfluence better there than it could be at
Shanghai or Canton where the naval pow
er of England, France, the United States,
and Japan would be felt at the palace.
With the allies out OF Pekin. Russia
would enjoy an opuIent privacy in Man
churia until the completion Of the rams
Siberian Railway. when the anti-fOTeign
character of the restored Chinese Govern
rnent would lead to ample excuses for
a declaration of war, an invasion Of Pc
chilli. and Russian pr0Jectorate over
the Empire.
The Russian plan is inconsistent with
any hope OF compensation TO the powers for
the losses they have sustained through
Chinese robbery and the war. China is at
present practically without money What
ever money indemnity she might be called
upon to pay would have to b
based upon new fiscal sys-
TEN under joint foreign admin
istration. But this means Of settlement
VIII be l1practCaDie unless the ieauiAe
powers are able TO act together in harmony
Perhaps if Russia should find that the re-
maiuder of Europe was determined TO stay
in Pekin. the Gar might come around, and
try to adjust himself TO the allied pro-
gramme. He should be disilIusioned at
once in regard to me attitude OF this coun-
try. The American people are in no tenn
Der to tolerate nolicy the purpose OF
which is to re-estab!ish the ruler and Gov
eminent responsible for the saturnaiia o.
massacre. torture, outrage, arson, anG
plumber which has marked the last three
months in China.

The question OF handling troops Will re-

London gives this account of a ceremony in st.
Michael's Church: Each of the congregation
received a little candle. which was lighted be-

Hanna and Ga

mamma ana tESteS,-Mr. Hanna was
cIoseted at the WaIdorf-Astoria for many
hours yesterday with the Hon. John ".
Gates. the great Steel Trust magnate,
who has Just returned from Europe. It
is not denied even by the Republican or
gans that the sole object of the confer
euce was to extract some campaign
money from Gates. Nor is it doubted
| that when Mr.. Hanna emerged from the
conference he had either the promise or
q check from the steel magnate for
large amount. One OF the chief officials
of Mr. Gates huge trust testified before
the faTCiCal Industrial Commission last
summer to the indescribabIe horror of
the Hon. John Kennedy and the delight
of the Hon. LeonidaS Livingston that
but for the Dingley Tariff bill it would
not have been possible to form the Steel
| Trust. Wherefore, considerations of or
| binary gratitude. to say nothing of a
| lively expectation of further benefits IN
doubtedly viii induce the affiuent Mr.
Gates to come down with large amount
for the reelection of Mr.. Mckinley
Then. too, Gates has his eye on the seat
in the Senate which has been occupied
for so many years by Uncle Shelby CuI-
ON. 1t is believed that MIR. Hanna could
put Mr. Gates to much better use in the
Senate than he can put your Uncle Shell
| by to. The latter is old, and his habits
OF thought, as we'll as his viewpoints, are
| fixed. Gates IS young and vigorous Better
still for Mr. Hanna's purposes, Gates has
shown beyond the shadow of a doubt that
| he is what the Hannaites call "a sound
business man" Mr. CulIom is not bust
ness man. He is a lawyer by profession
| and a student of statecraft by choice He
belongs to that rapidly diminishing class
of Senators who have preferred states
manship to money grubbings He has the
| fight of his life for reelection on hand
| now, and though he has Loyalty supported
| the Administration in all of it's political
measures, Mr.. Hanna has not done a thing
| to aid Cullom. The prospects are that
| the Republicans will lose the Legislature
| of Illinois, even if they should carry the
| State for Mr.. Mckinley. This, of course,
would mean the election of Demo-
| crat to succeed Senator Cullom. But it
is believed that if Gates talked in a sat
| isfactoTy manner to Mr.. Hanna yester-
| day the Republican National Committee
will at once get to work to save the Hi
| noiS Legislature, and if this is done it is
/ regarded as more than probable that at
the proper time it will be shown that Mr.
| Gates is the Administration candidate
