FAILS REACH POLE.
WELLMAN's SECOND JOURNEY
IN BALLOON RESULTS IN
DISASTER.
Party OF Four Makes Safe Descent
After Thlrty-two Mile Ride, But
Further Attempts PreeIuded by
Destruction Of Balloon.

Hammerfest. - Advices received
from Camp Wellman, Spitzenberger,
under date of August Is, state that
Walter Wellman's second attempt to
sail over the North pole in balloon
has resulted in a failure. The giant
dirigible balloon, America, in which
Mr.. Wellnan and his party of three
set out, proceeded about thirty-two
miles from the starting point.
Mr. Wellman and his party sue,
ceeded in making safe landing, and
returned to Camp Wellman on BOARD
the steamer Fran, which also towed
in the disabled balloon.
After having covered thirty-two
miles of the journey, and when every
thing seemed to be going splendidly
the leather guide rope, 10 which was
attached a thousand pounds of pro
visions and stores, broke away. The
accident occurred just as the airsh!p
was nearing the pack ice of Nort1
Spitzenbergen.
Released from this great weight
the airship shot upward at terrific
pace until it was great height above
the clouds. The pilots succeeded
however, in bringing her down to the
earth, and the balloon was towed by
the steamer Fran back to camp Just
as the airship reached the landing, II
broke away again and was carried
careening over rough ice hummocks
for some distance, when it exploded
All the scattered parts Of the airshiI
were subsequently recovered, but tn'
damage was SO great as to preclude
any further attempt to fly over th'
pole this year.

Nuevo Leon, in northern sle1lco.
General Barnardo-Reyes. governor of
Nuevo Leon, prominently mentioned
as the successor to President Diaz
has retired to mountain retreat.
Ell impartial. the government or
gan, says $4,000 was sent to him on
Wednesday. secretly.
A special train carrying 400 cavalry
men left here Thursday under sealed
orders. It's supposed destination is
Sabinas, in the state of Coahuila,
where anti-administration riots are
reported.
The recently removed mayor of
Monterey. Pedro Martinez, is prepar-
ing to leave for New York on Sc
cret mission. A number of political
friends of Reyes have gone to his
mountain retreat to confer with him.
The Reyesta party has petitioned
President Diaz, asking him that full
political liberty be granted in state
elections and that district officials
be punished for denying the fran
chise reports to qualified electors.
The president has announced that
the petitioners should take their
grievances to the proper state Of

Ell impartial, the administration or
gan, published a four column editorial
on its first page Thursday entitled,
"A Revolution In Mexico is Absolute
ly Impossible" After characterizing
the opposition as a band of unprinci-
pied sedltion-mongors, it points out
that the intelligent body of Mexican
citizens do not want the long peace
of thirty years disturbed because Of
economic reasons, but adds signifi-
cantly that the thousands of miles of
railways and telegraph lines built
during the Diaz administration will
enable the quick transference of the
standing army of $1,000 men, and that
modem artillery and rapid-fire guns
will do the rest.

overt attack on Pinchot, and this as

RATES in WEST roo HIGH.
Such is Statement Of Chairman Knapp
of Commerce Commission.

Washington.-Railr rates east
of the Mississippi river are generally
fair and satisfactory to the shipper,
while west of the river they are gen.
orally high and the cause of comp amt
on the part of the shipper, according
to a statement made on Friday by
Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission.
I'm the intermountain states and in
nearly all of the states on the Pacific
coast" said Chairman Knapp, there
is great dissatisfaction with the rates
now imposed by common carriers. In
quiry discloses that only in isolated
cases has the new rate law brought
relief. The intermountain region anC
states of the Pacific coast, in fact, the
whole northwest, have witnessed great
development during the past few
years, industries have grown up with
great rapidity and population has in
creased by leaps and bounds.
Naturally 1t would be assumed thai
such a condition of affairs would also
result in decline in the cost of trans
portation. Such has not been the
case The rates have remained sta
tionary. for all practical purposes, ant
the storm center in the agitation fol
reduced rates is west of the Mississip
pi river. In order that the commits
sion may secure evidence at first hant
In this matter 1t will make a triI

and the Pacific coast states the com
ing fall. Hearings will be held a
Spokane, Seattle, and in all probab'
ity at Salt Lake.
when the commission returns Il
Washington in November the evidences
collected will be digested and rulings
made that in all probability will affort
great relief to the shipping pubic il
