There is the crux Of the matter, and
so the whole thing hinges not so much
on Il question OF principle as on a
question of fact in the application Of a
principle.
On this issue Cummins is fairly sure
to have the backing Of the entire in
surgent group in both houses and of
considerable portion Of public senti-
ment on the outside. Even those in

final passage did so with mental reser-

liable to join with their former COM

fight on "Aldrichism," as standpatism

there were six besides Cummins who
voted against the Payne bill on final
passage Beveridge of Indiana, Mel

Amundsen's Famous Vessel to Lie In
Golden Gate Park.
The placing recently in Golden Gate
park, San Francisco, of the steamer
Gjoa has revived interest in Captain
Roald Amundsen and the famous lit
tie vessel on which he sailed through
the northwest passage. Born in Chris
tiania, a Norwegian of the Norwegians,
Captain Amundsen first came promi-
nently before the public as a member
Of the antarctic expedition Of the Bel
gica, which vessel in 1919 cruised In
the south polar seas under NJ. Gerlach.
Returning from this expedition. he con-
ceived the idea OF an arctic explora-
tion, the object Of which would be the
discovery Of the northwest passage
and the location of the magnetic pole.
Amundsen told his friends Nansen,
the explorer, and Professors Schmidt
and Neumayer Of Germany his hopes

for romances there which has not yet
