READY TO FIGHT
Iowa's Governor Will Inves-
tigate the Rock Island
Incorporation.

Des Moines, Iowa. Aug. 1.-Governor
Cummins announces to-day that he will
proceed to investigate the right OF the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway
to incorporate under the laws OF the
state of Iowa, and II he finds that the
law Is being violated he will order the
attorney general to bring action to
invalidate the incorporation papers filed
yesterday.
Governor Cummins stated that the first
question he Is inquiring into is as to
whether the imitation of the capital stock,
which IS contemplated by the reorganiza-
tion, is consistent with Iowa law. In the
second place, he desires to know just
how far it is lawful for a New Jersey
corporation to own and control the prop
erty Of a railway owned and operated In
Iowa.
He has not yet reached a conclusion
OIL either OF these questions, and declares
Il 1T, he means to give them a thorough
Investigation before he decides what his
duty towards the new company may be-
under the premises.
''It may be- he stated, "that the Iowa
laws contemplate as much latitude as
this company has used, but I doubt 1t

The Arctic Explorer Announces That
He Is "BafHed, Not
Beaten"

f1onningsvag. Norway, Aug. 1.-Evelyn
B. Baldwin, the Arctic explorer, arrived
here to-day. He reported all his men In
good health and said:
1--WE have been baff1ed, but not beaten"
Mr.. Baldwin continued as follows: "The
years work was very successful in that
enormous depots of condensed food have
been established by means of sledgeS, one
in Rudolf1and within sight of the Italian
expedition headquarters another in lati-
tude 81 degrees 80 minutes, and third
at Kane Lodge. Greedy island. These de-
pots, together with houses and stores left
at Camp Zeisler, will afford the means for
a large polar dash in 1908, All channels
through Franz Josef land remained block
ed with ice during the autumn Of 1901, and
prevented the establishment of depots by
steamer last year. The breaking up OF
ice early in June compelled the use of
reserve supplies, hence the departure from
Camp Zeigler on July 1 in order not to
tmperil the expedition.
II dispatched fifteen balloons with 300
messages and in June l obtained the first
moving picture of Arctic life. I also dis
covered Nansen's hut, recovering original
documents and secured paintings of the
hut. Marine collections for, the national
museum, including new charts, ETC., were
obtained. In the field work thirty men,
thirteen ponies, sixty sledges and ITO dogs
were employed from Jan. II to May q
and this severe work resulted in the de-
struction of sledges and depletion of the
food for ponies and dogs, thus rendering
our return imperative. q shall remain
at Tromsoa for a week for repairs to the
Americas rudder and propeller frame
which were broken by the. ice on the re-
turn voyage. The main anchor was LOST

way, on July 80, 1901 An auxiliary expe-
dition started from Vardoe on July 7th
