Captain AmundSen Viii
Complete Sir J. c.
Ross Work.
NEW NORTHERN EXPEDITION
Extensive Observations to Be Conducted
at Lancaster Sound, West Booth Island
Preparations Being Made to Remain
Until Spring of 1905

LONDON, March 22.-Next spring an
important Arctic expedition, under Cap
tain Amundsen, a Norwegian, will start
out with the purpose of locating the mag
netic North Pole and verifying and COM
pleting the observations of Sir J. c. Ross,
in 1881.
Captain Amundsen was the first officer
of the Belgica in Gerlache's antarctic ex-
petition of 1879. After his return he
consulted Prof. Neumayer, Of Hamburg,
the greatest authority on terrestrial mag
netism, vino declares that expert determi-
nation of the earths. magnetic North Pole
would be of immense value to science.
After studying with Prof. Neumayer,
Captain Amundsen has purchased the
whaler Gjoa. reputed 10 be one of the
strongest and best of the Arctic fleet. She
can be handled by crew Of seven. She
will be fitted with q petroleum engine and
equipped for a four years stay.
In addition to the most complete
meteorological ard oceanographic instru-
ments, Prof Neumayer has designed a
travelling magnotometer of the type that
Nansen used, but with several improve
ments. The Richmond observatory is also
making a special inclinatorium.
Prof. Nansen will superintend the gem
eral equipment of the expedition. Captain
Amundsens plan is to leave in the spring
for West Greenland, where he will embark
dogs. Then he will go TO Lancaster Sound
West Booth Island, where he will leave a
depot as near as possible to the point
where Ross located the magnetic pole in
1881. He will winter at Matt Island and
take observations.
On the approach of spring Captain
Amundsen and three men, with two
sledges and all the dogs, will proceed to
the point that Ross located, where they
will make long series of the most care
ful observations during the summer, and,
II possible, during the whole twelve
months, and establish observation sta
tions throughout the regions in. which the
needle assumes a vertical position.
When one sledge can be spared, two
of the men will return to the ship, and
Captain Amundsen and the others will
remain and make observations during the
winter from snow huts, living in snow
huts like the EsquimauX.
During the first and second winters
they hope to erect an inclinatorium, and
a deelinatorium for the purpose of TAX
ing regular hourly readings. In the spring
of 1905 they will revisit the old stations,
and take fresh observations and check
those of 1904.
Then they will return to the ship, If
possible and continue to the westward,
returning by the Northwest Passage.

SNUFF-TAKING DYING OUT.
London Dealers Fail to Notice Increase
in Sales.

LONDON. March 22.-Stories have been
in circulation recently in regard to the
new vogue of snufftaking. The habit is
supposed to be becoming most prevalent
in aristocratic quarters in the West End
and is even ascribed TO the most august
personages, but there is little real founda-
tion for these stories.
The London snuff dealers do not report
any noticeable increase or any new sales.
The manager of the largest snuff factory
in London says:
The trade has been decreasing one
for many years. There is n tendency re-

Members Of Constabulary Must Pay for

LONDON. March PA member of the
South African Constabulary has written
private letter complaining Of matter
which has not yet been mentioned pub
licly and which the writer declares is
having an i'll effect on the British cause.
This is a statement of men who, hav-
ing surrendered to the Beers. have been
sent back stripped. He quotes the case of
six of his comrades who were reconnoiter-
ing on a farm. Sixty Beers appeared ana
captured four of the Englishmen. who
were returned stripped of everything. The
comma anding officer informed them that
they would have to pay for their horses,
saddles. rifles, and ammunition.
The writer adds that the commanding
officers are complaining against this rul-
ing, and say that the effect will be that
the men will shirk their duty rather than
be captured, if they are to be fined so
heavily

DALLAS. Tex, March 22.-The Demo-
Gratis of Dallas county, the strongest in
Texas. wrangled all day at the meeting of
the executive committee, which had met
TO canvass the returns OF the vote cast at
last Saturdays election. At the pri-
mary 1890 votes were cast, and the plu-
ralities and maiorities on many of the
State and county officers were very small.
County Attorney Hatton w Summers.
candidate for denomination. was beaten
on the face of the returns by Walter
Lemon by 271 plurality.
Summers charged all manner of fraud.
He claimed that the gamblers of Dallas
and Fort Worth had procured the pres
ence of $50 Illegal voters from Fort
Worth, who voted in all the wards of
Dallas, casting more than l,G00 illegal
votes. to bring about his defeat.
Judge Holloway issued an injunction re-
straining the committee from announcing
the result on county attorney, and Sum
ners filed a suit in one OF the State dis
trict courts to prevent Lemon being de-
clared the Democratic nominee.

LONDON, March 22.-In country where
non-smokers are almost unknown it is
not surprising that the dramatic struggle
into which the tobacco war has devei-
oped commands the keenest attention.
There is genuine amazement at the use
of such gigantic sums of money on both
sides in the shape of bonuses, but no
Englishman is willing to believe that the
present apparent recklessness and improv-

Viewed With Suspicion.

He cannot conceive of a business man
throwing away his money TO spite a rival
unless he sees fair expectation of ul-
innate returns. Therefore, the tactics of
both the American and Imperial Tobac-
co Companies are regarded with suspicion.
1t is not to be denied that the Imperial
Company showed the most gross ignorance
of the sentiments of their people by their
first appeal to the lowest form of patriot
ism, coupled with a policy of boycotting.
The British public assuredly will not toll
crate any form of boycotting, as the I'm
perial Company has already learned to its
cost
II was a shrewd move of the directors
of the Ogden Company, when they took
the opposite course. but unfortunately ev-
erybody identifies the American trust
with the Ogden Company. and the British
public speedily learned that the Ameri-
can side had not clean hands in regard
to boycotting tactics. Therefore, its pro-
Tossing virtue in England. while prac-
ticing vice in the United States and Can
ada has been received with ridicule.
The Washington times., 1902-03-23
Consumer Must PAY.

Nevertheless. its offers altogether sur
pass those of the Imperial Company, and
the retail trade is overwhelmingly on the
side of the Americans. The consumers,
however. take dubious view of the sit
uation There is no sign of a cut in re-
tail prices and apparently the sole benc-
ficiaries in the fight at present will be
the retailers
1t thus seems to the general public that
they will sooner or later have to pay for
both sides. CiL SIS
