FAssIG DOESN'T FIND FIALA
But That Dses Not Imply mat the Ex'

WOSct0 AI0 AVSe
BALTIMoRu, Aug. IA cable message
was received In this city to-day from Prof.
Oliver l.. Fassig. associate professor Of
meteorology at Johns Hopkins University.
announcing the failure Of his expedition to
discover the members OF the ziegler relief
party on Shannon Island, In the Arctic
Ocean. The message was dated Edinburgh
and read: mo member Of Ziegler on Shan
non Island July 81. Much Ice North Allan
tic. Reach New York Goth. FAssIo."
The failure 81 pr.~Fassig to find traces
OF members OF the Fiala expedition on Shan
non Island does not imply that the OK
plorers are lost. Herbert L. Bndgman Of
the Peary Arctic Club said yesterday that
DR.. Fassiz had been sent to Shannon Island,
OF the coast Of Greenland, merely on a
chance that Fiala and his men had been
carried on the drift Toe to that neighbor-
hood. The first Ziegler expedition Of 1901
established a camp and left a store Of pro-
visions on Shannon Island under the i'm
preston that the second Ziegler polar ship
might come down that way. Before de-
parting for his mission aboard the auxiliary
whaler Magdalina DR.. Fassig said:
there are on Shannon Island ample
food supplies for such of the Ziegler party
as may have been able to make their way
across the ice wastes Of Franz josef Land.
Our object Is to find out II any Of them
have done this, and to bring them back.
The chief expedition sent out to find Fiala

private secretary to Mr.. Ziegler and his
executor. He sailed from Tromso last
June aboard the steam sealer Terra Nova.
equipped to winter in the Arctic. Mr..
Champs destination was Franz Josef Land.
He was ordered by Mr.. zieger to bring
Fiala back, cost what 1t might. The opinion
Of experts in polar research Is that Fiala
has got into trouble, and there Is posi-
bility that be may be lost, a. be has not
boon heard from since the summer Of 1908.
when he sailed In the steamer America
from Norway. He intended to make his
base Prince Rudolf Land, COZ miles from
the pole, and expected to average ten miles
a day In his effort to reach tbere by sledgee.
All his men have been In the Arctic before
and were exceptionally hardy.

SAN FKANcIsco, Aug. 7.-"Wu Ting-fang,

to do with the Chinese boycott on Ameri-

Of that fact. Japan's victory over Russia is
