WITH AMCNDSEN AT THE POLE.

Amundsen's pole hunters have ar
rived in London with a store of relics
and a fund of anecdotes which fe'ici-
tiously supplement the glamour and
of the conquest of the south
pole. No controversy has arisen to
cloud the title of the inner of the
race having for its goal latitude 80
south. longitude o. nor is there likely
to be any question raised as 10 the eX-
actness of the geographical marking
of the pole. The ice formation where
Peary landed the Stars and Stripes
approximately at the north pole may
have shifted hundreds OF miles since
the explorer tool hts departure. but
the Norwegians have no apprehen-
sions of their national flag wandering
far away from where they planted it.
One of the trophies on exhibit iI
London during The stay Of the pole
finders was a piece of rock weighing
q pound which was thrown up When a
hole was dug in which to insert the
flagstaff marking the spot so long the
objective of adventurous man. The
expedition left a hut at the point
where A,nundsen loft the main party
and made his successful dash for the
pole. The hut is stocked with pro-
visions for three months, cooking
utensils and everything necessary,
down to q box of matches beside the
stove. Half a mile distant a store of
provisions was cached and a pole
erected To guide anybody coming that
way, but it is thought altogether
doubtful that anybody will seek a
summe residence so far south.
Capt. Amundsen. by the way, is due
in New York next month, his mission
being to tell the lecture-going world
how he beat the British to il. He

This vote. which has controlled in

operation of that law has annually

Talks With Men of

Cen. l.. T. Kitchener of Indiana.
The constitution provides that
each state shall appoint. in such man
ner as the legislature may direct, a
number of electors equal to the whole
number of senators and representa-

Titled in the congress-.
