WHERE is SvERDRUP?
Hopes of Promoters of Arctic Re-
search Seem to be Dashed

A few months ago the Norwegian
promoters of Arctic research express
ed their firm belief that Captain
Sverdrup and his vessel the Fran
had pushed around the north end of
Greenland and were now somewhere
on the east coast of the great island,
says the New York Sun.
Their faith in this supposition has
now been greatly shaken by letter
from Or. Robert Stein. who, when he
went north to explore Ellesmere Land
some two years ago. took a large
quantity of mail for Sverdrup and his
men. DR.. Stein said that though he
had spent two winters on Smith
Sound he had discovered no trace of
Sverdrup and he did not believe that
the explorer had overcome the difficult
Sound.
He therefore had no confidence
that Sverdrup had left the neighbor-
hood Of Ellesmere Land through
Smith Sound. He was of the opinion
that Sverdrup had gone west through
oohNo oouhu anu Go CithCi ttItCLlDt
ing to make the northwest passage to
Boring Strait or was trying to SET
north through the sea to the west OF
Ellesmere Land.
Sverdrup had distinctly announced
; his intention to explore the archipela
go north of Greenland and to trace
the unknown part of the east coast
of that island. IT is indeed very sur.
prising that he should have left the
place in Smith Sound where he passed
his first winter changed his plans
and sailed away to carry them out
without leaving any news of his inten-
tions with Peary, who would gladly
have forwarded to Europe any COM
munication which Sverdrup had to
make to his friends.
AS it is, they have not the slightest
idea of the whereabouts of the Fran.
She may be trying to push through
the channels north of this continent
and achieve the complete northwest
passage, which has never yet been
done by single vessel.
This passage, so long sought for in
vain, is known to exist only because
one vessel from Boring sea and an
other from Jones sound came so near
together. during the Franklin search.
that sledge parties easily passed be-
tween them.
If, on the other hand, Syerdrup
turned north after passing through
Jones sound, he may be making new
discoveries in the unknown northern
part of the Parry archipelago. or heI
into the waters of the unknown Arctic
sea.
The fact is. however, that all guess
es as to Sverdrups whereabouts are
futile. Nobody knows at present,
within thousands Of miles. where he
may be; search for him, therefore,
under present circumstances. would
be the Franklin search over again,
with an excellent prospect, if mis- |
fortune had beiallen him. that his fate
might not be discovered for dozen |
years, If ever, however many eXpedi-
lions might be sent out to find traces
of him.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
the Norwegians have decided to wait !
a while before trying to carry out
measures of relief. Sverdrup had sup
plies to last at least another year, and |
it is hoped that news may be received
from him during the coming season.

advantage.

With his quick eye he glanced from
his window and measured the distance
to the next. 1t was building of low
ceilings. The drop was not great.
A leader ran down from the roof
within reach. He tested it and judged
that 1t would hold his weight.
Craning his neck, he saw that the
window of the room below was open.
Nine. du Barry wanted air.
He leaned out, grasped the leader
firmly, swung from his window and
slid neatly and quietly into the room
below.
A woman Of heavy build and exceed
ingly masculine appearance lay on O

"That is fair Offer" said one.
What do you say, Reber?"

w nat 10 you say lNtDeI!
Buckford started. Cine voice had all
along seemed strangely familiar, but
the exciting circumstances made Ii inn
possible To recall where he had heard
il. 1t ilsishcd upon him.
Reber was the man who had met him
on the bridge and introduced him into
this circle Of fascinating cutthroats.
II think ii is fair" said Reber. But
that lace OF yours, friend RObello,
would not be pleasing TO the young
Deneslian beauty"
Let my face alone!" growled the
man called Robello, and Buckford made
mental note.
"Now," he said, Il know the four
plotters by name and three of them by
sight. Nandal and Reber | have met.
That is Robello sitting with Vandal,
but his back is toward me. However,
he must be ugly or lieber's remark is
pointless. And the fourth is Casparin,
brother of the Prince Of Deneslia. And
what IL quartet of precious scoundrels!
They ut the bidding of this rascal Cas-
parin will assassinate the prince be-
fore his heir is born in order to put
Casparin on the throne of the little
country. And not only the prince, but
an American woman and Il beautiful
princess are in danger. Come, Buck
ford, you have work to do. And the
first thing TO do is to escape from this
place. How the devil is that to be
done, | wonder!'
His soliloquy was interrupted by an
other step and heavy German voice.
"Well. Monshure Men Herr" said
the voice, Il did that job well. Is it
not so?"
Yes, but you must not come here.
You must keep away from u.s." re-
piled Casparin.
"IIo! That Is not so easy. Then

"Oh. then. that is not bad" said the
German. rafting a well filled purse.
There is Germany"
"Yes. Go there, for Gods sake"'
said Casparin, and the others laughed.
Between Buckford Wallace and the
four members OF this band there were
many scores to be settled. But just
then Buckford was at a most serious
disadvantage.
Il must now leave you" said Vandal.

"Then you need not hurry, for Nine.

SHAVED a DEAD ONE."-William
Jennings Bryan made flying visit to
Washington last night arriving at mid
night from the west and spending three
or four hours with considerable COM
pany Of friends in his old quarters at
Capitol Hill. The correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger says: THE lead
er Of the western Democracy was in a
bouyant and witty frame Of mind, and
told many good stories of himself. He
said that not long ago in western
town he had occasion to get shaved.
The barber, a colored man, felt highly
complimented by the opportunity Of
shaving a man who had been a candid
ate for the presidency, and when the
operation was over, Mr.. Bryan gave
him a silver dollar. Some weeks after
ward, travelling that way, he met an old
friend in the same town, who told him
he had got the barber in trouble.
"How's tbat?" said Mr.. Bryan.
why, he has been up before the
Barber's union, had charges preferred
against him, and was then put on trial
for shaving you.'
II don't understand that" replied
Mr.. Bryan. Il paid all right
20, yes. You paid him all right, but
the other BARRIERS said that he was cut
ting under, and should have charged IS
for shaving a dead man."

ACCIDENT NOT FATAL.-John Lock-
wood, an old sailor whose home is the
almshouse, got furlough and couple
of dollars yesterday and went to cele-
brate, says the Philadelphia Times. He
celebrated in a grogshop, and when he
got as far as Thirty-fourth and Spruce
streets he stumbled and fell.
Passersby were horrified at the sight
they saw when they looked at him. His
left leg, below the knee, had dropped
off, trouser leg and all, and Lockwood
was making frantic efforts to get up.
One man ran all the way to the po-
lice station at Thirty-seventh and
Spruce street for a patrol wagon to
take the injured sailor to hospital.
Several other men, fearful to pick up
the severed leg, yet wanting to help
Lockwood. stood and offered him con-
ISOLATION. Then the wagon came.
"shiver me timbers, you bloomin' lub-
bers." shouted the old salt to the pa
trolman: cant you see it's nothin' but
a yardarm? Gimme it and I'll put it
on again"
They gave it to him. he put it on.
the crowd disappeared and the wagon
took Lockwood back to the almshouse.
