NO GOVERNMENT AID
FOR JAMESTOWN
Few Senators and Representatives
Favor an Appropriation.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 2O.-It
is likely that the jamestown Exposi-
ton, which is to take place next year,
will fail to receive the support asked
of Congress. Few Senators and Rep
resentatives are in favor of appropri-
ating the large sum equested because
of the sad experience of the govern
ment in recovering all or even a por-
ton of the loans made to similar eX-
positions in the past. The President
is friendly to Jamestown and has
reiterated to the Board of Governors,
when they called upon him at the
White House, his ardent hope that
Congress will see its way clear to make
liberal allowance to make the enter
prise what it should be- The Presi-
dent has mentioned his views TO many
Congressional callers in advocacy of
liberal treatment and it is believed
that he will continue to give it his aid.
He reasons that as many foreign gov
ernments have accepted the invitation
to join in a navel display at James
town, the Exposition should make a
creditable showing in every way, and
this it cannot so well do without the
assistance of Uncle Sam.

Him.

! PARIS, May 20.-The early depar.
ture of Walter Wellman, the Ameri
can explorer ard his party for Spitz-
bergen with his plan to endeavor to
reach the North Pole by means of a
dirigible balloon is attracting wide
spread attention. This attention has
been increased by Wellmans an
nouncement that he intends to estab-
fish a basis at Danes Island and be-
gin his ascent on the island where
Andre inflated his balloon.
The first section of his party under
Maj. Hersey will leave Paris in few
days, rendesyouzing at Tromose until
June /, and then proceeding on the
Attic steamer Fritzhjof to Spitzber-
gen where Maj. Hersey will direct the
construction of headquarters. The
balloon shed will be the largest ever
constructed owing to the enormous
dimensions of Mr.. Wellman's drigible
machine.
Maj. Hersey's advance party will con-
sist of Alexander Liewantaai, chemist
and engineer; Dr. W. N. Fowler, of
Indiana, surgeon; Felix Ryesenberg,
assistant navigator, and F. H. Buzza-
colt, commissary.
Mr.. Wellman will follow June 25
with the balloon and the remainder of
the party, including Maxwell Smith,
wireless telegraph expert, who will es-
tablish a wireless station at Spitzber-
gen. The balloon is rapidly nearing
completion and Mr. Wellman and
Constructor Goddard will soon invite
engineers to inspect the motors and
mechanical parts of the machine 1t
will be impossible to initiate it here, as
there is no shed large enough to house
such a monstrous airship. Maj Her
sey is making daily balloon assertions
and has had several dangerous exper-
fences, his balloon once falling in the
top of tree, from which it was dis
lodged with difficulty.
