EVELYN BALDWIN EXPLAINS
Arctic Explorer Declares His Expedi
ton Was Not a Failure.

In response to a telegram. Evelyn b.
Baldwin has telegraphed to the Associated
Press an explanation, from London Of the
causes OF his failure to reach the pole and
the cause Of his dispute with Capt Jo-
hannsson of the America, ETC.. as follows:
TROMSOE, Norway, September 4.
The public has been deceived by false re-
ports regarding the expedition. Nearly ev-
cry member has been faithful. and my COM
rades ought and must have, due credit for
their work In establishing large depots at
May. Sometimes they had to traverse the
same route ten times. Fifty sleighs were
DESTROYED in this work Open sea near the
r reaoh,n at + TepIitz Prevented us from
tiers, and poor fee conditions in 1901 pre-
vented us from establishing depots north
Of 30 degrees % minutes In this connec-
ton the death of half our dogs necessitated
Nothing favored returning via Greenland.
I believe the record bf being farthest
north could have been broken, but It would
have exhausted euPsuppEes and destroyed
the hope OF nally reaching the pole.
Sailing Master Johanpson's demands to
become the Americas captain were uptena-
Die and unbearable.,l His threat December
10 to take possession oftthe ship as cap
tain and deal with the Grew In accordance
with his own will might have spoiled the
expeditions plan If enforced. The ice pilot
ana the first mate. who had long ex-
perience In polar ice. were entitled to recog-
milton: Johannsson's refusal to obey the
ice pilots orders and his declared unwill-
ingness to take the advice of my represen-
tatives on the sleigh expedition, together
with other weil-founded reasons stated to
the American consul now here, caused his
discharge and the promotion OF three Of
his countrymen, who all followed me in
the sleigh expedition and obeyed with
pleasure the orders given by myself. my
representatives and the Ice pilot.

Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson and
William Ewart Gladstone are among the
names that have been added to the burial
roll OF the Abbey under Dean Bradley's SUI

them. 1t will surprise many people, per
haps to know that only ten persons have
been buried in the Abbey in the last twenty
years. and that only two of these were
women-Lady Louisa Percy and Mrs Glad
stone. These. with two poets. two archi-
tects. an archbishop. scientist, a queen $

Austria Persecutes "Drummers. -
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
A very curious and unnecessary law will,
according to q consular report, come into
force in Austria in a few weeks time. 1t
is one Of those strange infringements Of the
liberty Of the subject which seem to be ac-
cepted without a murmur by continental
nations. but as II will affect a good many
English commercial travellers it will have
to be taken into account. Hitherto the rep
resentat ives of English cloth merchants
have been In the habit Of calling upon pri-
vate customers and getting orders from
them. but for the future this is forbidden,
and no traveller may solicit an order from
private individual, though he may do
business with him il he can prove that he
was expressly invited by the customer to
visit him. However. this absurd piece of
medieval tyranny Is not aimed at the
British commercial traveller, for it applies
to Austrians as well. A British traveller
for cloth house will still be able to visit
tailors and cloth dealers and solicit orders
from them but he win not be able to do so
with any person not openly engaged in
some kindred trade. This extraordinary
infringement of the most ordinary liberty
is already in force in Hungary and has
caused much Inconvenience to foreign trav-
elers who were ignorant OF its existence. so
merchants will have to warn their repre-
sentatfves that its provisions and penalties
are now extended to Austria also.

LONDON UNIVERSITY DEGREES
Fifty Per Cent Of Candidates Some
times Rejected.

From the Atlantic Monthly
1t Is to be regretted that the work of the
University OF London Is not better known
In America, for the history of that institu-
tion Is full Of suggestion for educational re-
formers In this country. II was established
In 1898, mainly in the interests of Nom
conformists, WHO at that time were pre-
vented by theological restrictions from
graduating at Oxford or Cambridge At
first 1t imposed upon applicants for its de-
grees the condition of previous srudy in
one of a number of affiliated colleges
but in 1858 its examinatio were thrown
open to all Corners, with the execution Of
women Twenty years later this restriction
was removed the University of London
being the first academic body in Great
Britain to ignore the distinction of sex.
One of its most notable features has hean
the severity of Its examinations which has
naturally made its degrees eagerly coveted
1t has been by no means unusual for so
per cent of the candidates to be rejected at
an examination. The result Is that r A
pass degree at London is everywhere re-
garded as much better evidence Of ability
and education than similar degree at OK
ford OF Cambridge. The London M. A has
also value of its own for 1t Is earned by
an examination In which none but special
lists have any chance of success, instead Of
being conferred, as In the case of the Ok
ford or Cambridge NJ. A, upon all bachelors
OF arts who have kept their names upon
the books and paid their dues for a pre-
scribed period.
The very difficulty Of obtaining a London
degree made the ambition to gain 1t at
tractive from the first, to many able men.
Among those who but for the existence of
this university would never have had an
opportunity OF wearing any academic dis
tinction at ali-except. of course, for the
honorary degrees conferred upon some OF
them when they had already made their
reputation-may be mentioned such men as
Lord Herschell and Sir George Jessel,
among lawyers; Lord Lister, Sir Richard
Quain, Sir Henry Thompson, Sir J. Russell
Reynolds, Sir William Jenner and Sir w.
w. Gull, among surgeons and physicians:
r. w. DALAI. Maclaren and w r. MouI-
ton. among theologians: Walter Bagehot
and w. Stanley Jevons, among economists.

Rejuvenated Women.
From Pearson's Weekly.

From Peafsons Weekly.
1t is an extraordinary but incontestable
fact that some women when at the age
when most people die undergo a sort of
natural process Of rejuvenation-hair and
teeth grow again. the wrinkles disappear
from the skin and sight and hearing re-
acquire their former sharpness. A Mar
quise de Mfrabeau is an example of this
rare and remarka BILE phenomenon. She
died at the age of eighty-siN, but a few
years before her death she became in ap-
pearance quite young again. The same
change happened to a nun of the name OF
Marguerite Nerdur. who at the age of sixty
two lost her wrinkles. regained her sight
and grew several new teeth. When she
died. ten years later, her appearance was
almost that of young girl.

English.
From the Ct icsgo News.

The use of English at foreign courts Is
quite common nowadays. especially at the
Russian court, where, since it became
known that the czar and czarina always use
1t between themselves. many members of
the royal household make a practice Of
speaking and writing 1t. 1t Is curious in
this connection to note that at one time all
British royalties spoke German, and at Tel
e-Kebir it was noticed that whenever the
Duke OF Connaught grew existed he gave
his orders In that language.

SOFT COAL STRIKE OFF.
West Virginia Miners Decide to Re
turn to Work.

A dispatch from Huntington, W. Va, yes
terday says: 1t is now believed the coal
strike in West Virginia is practically at
an end. At a mass meeting Of miners from
all the coal fields along the Norfolk and
Western railroad here today it was almost
unanimously agreed to end the strike, pro-
vided the operators will take back all the
old miners, and the latter have signified
their intention Of doing this. The miners
have agreed to return to work next Mon
day morning.
1t Is reported that President John Nit
chell Of the United Mine Workers advised
the strikers to return to work, as he real
lied that winter Is near at hand and the
miners in this field could not hold out much
longer. as almost every one is dependent
upon the union for food and clothing. 1t
Is thought the strikers in the New River
and kanawha fields will soon follow the
action of the strikers on the Norfolk and
Western.
The Pocahontas mine continues to burn,
but the operators think that they. will soon
have it under control. No violence has
been reported from any quarter of the Nor
folk and Western coal field today.
The miners at Bluefield decided to end
the strike in the Flat Top region, and the
men were ordered to return to work Mon
day morning. Strike Leaders Farley, Nu-
gent and Davis of that district were pres
ent and before the convention had long
conference with Adjutant General Baker
of West Virginia and Mr.. Walton, the gov
ernor's representative. both Of whom were
In the field watching the situation.
While new labor has been brought into
the field by carloads for some time past,
the operators are short Of men and will re-
employ the strikers.
General Manager johnson Of the Norfolk
and Western was asked by representa-
tive of the Associated Press what the basis
of settlement of the strike was, and replied
that there was no agreement at ALL the
mine workers simply declaring the st rike
OF and ordering the men to return to work
On next Monday. There was no conference
with the mine operators or others interest
ed in the strike.
