DID HE GET THERE.

1t II Believed That sverdrup Has
Reached the North Pole.
"A strong belief exists in Scandinavia
that Capt. Sverdrup, Of the Fran, has
reached the North pole and:is nov re-
turning home.
Capt. Syerdrup has been away, on his
expedition around Greenland for forty
months. AS Lieut.. Peary did not see
him in the north OF Greenland, 1t is
thought the brave Norwegian never In
tended to go round Greenland to reach
the pole. (
In the summer Of 1899 s%verdrup was
on the northwest coast of Greenland.
Lincoln's sea-, to the north thereof. was
tce-free the following summer, accord
ing to Peary. Scientists declare there
is q strong probability that Sverdrup
seized the opportunity and reached the
pole. No fear Is entertained as to the
safety Of the expedition, which was
provisioned for five years.
Captain Otto Sverdrup started from
Christiania in the Fran in June, 1898.
2Rumors reached Gothenburfg recently
that Lieut.. Peary came across Sver-+
drup on the western coast Of Green
land, but no positive information has
yet come to hand. When Sverdrup set
out, taking an expedition of eighteen
persons and food for five years, 1t was
with the intention of exploring the
northern coast Of Greenland by round
ing It. but the possibility Of his making
q dash for the pole itself raj not out Of
the question. He had previously ac-
companied Nnnsen in his voyage with
the Fran. 4

Manchester, Oct. 20. - The Guardian
prints a letter dated Aug. Is, written by
Mr.. Steyn, ex-president of the Orange
Free State, to Gen. Lord Kitchener, COM
handing the British forces in South AT
rica, discussing the military situation.
The letter Is too long to quote ~teXtually,
out in it Mr.. Steyn says that in the Free
Etate 'order and peace are maintained
oy us and not by your excellency. If
your excellency will permit me-, your Jul
.isdiction extends only as far as your ex-
aellency's cannon can reach. II 1t is u
crime to fight in self-defense. and II such
l crime must be punished, then l think
mis- majesty's government ought to be
satisfied with the destruction Of the coun-
.ry, the shastisement of women and chill
lren, and the general misery which AVE
oeen caused by this war"
MI. Steyn deals with the misery Of the
concentration camps. He states that the
great majority of the fighting Beers are
IT'LL in arms and gives it as his opinion
hat it is in Gen. Kitchener's power more
han that of any other man to make an
end of the war. He concludes by declar-
,ng tina the Beers ask for no ~magnanim-
~, but only demand justice.

Shows No Concern Over the Fate of
Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 3N<The family
of Leon Czolgosz, whose members are
in this city, show little concern over
the fate Of their son and brother, as
little, in fact, as IL he bore nc relation
whatever to them. The seeming indif-
ference is remarkable. The father of
the assassin was down town last night
in conference with Chief Of Police Corn

was not, learned. neither party to 1T

else does not realize the terrible pen
