NDARD DEMOCRATS. Organising Throughout the Country and Getting Ready for Work. A committee of gold-standard democrats, headed by L. M. Martin, national commit- teeman, and Henry Vollmer, chairman of state committee, met at Des Moines, Iowa, ‘Thursday and issued a call for a state con- vention of gold democrats to meet in Des Moines August 26. ‘The call recites that in 1896 a conspiracy was formed to destroy the credit of the gov- ernment and to disrupt the true democracy. It, therefore, becomes necessary to call this new convention. J. E. Markley of Mason City was chosen temporary chairman. C. Vey Holman, the Maine representative t the conference of gold democrats at In- ianapolis, has issued a call for a state con- vention of gold-standard democrats at Port- land, August 20, by representation, for the purpose of choosing delegates to a national convention and to select presidential nomi- nees. Last evening a call was issued by the sub- committe of the executive committee of the West Virginia national democratic party for a state convention of honest-money demo- crats to assemBle at Wheeling, August 29, to organize the party in the state, appoint delegates to Indianapolis, select an electoral ticket for the state, and generally to do what may be necessary to “maintain true democratic principles." The call is signed ex-State’s Attorney General Alfred Cald- Well, ex-president of the state university: E. M. Turner, Z. T. Vinson, late United States marshal, and J. D. Baines, who com- pose the suvcommittee. From develcpments fn politfcal circles in Connecticut there are indications of the biggest fight In the history of Connecticut. The silver-standard democrats concede that ‘Thursday's meeting of the state committee developed that the gold standard are in the majority. Accordingly, the silver-standard men propose to call a special meeting, at which a new state committee will be ap- pointed. This means there will be two sets of primaries in New Haven and elsewhere to appoint delegates to the coming state convention. ——___++— TRIP OF THE DAUNTLESS. Plans of the Alleged Filibusters Were Well Lata. The collector of customs at Brunswick, Ga., has telegraphed the following account of an alleged filibustering exp2di-ion: “The plans of the filibustering trip of the tug Dauntless were so well planned that with the greatest surveillance exercised she could not be intercepted as a filibuster. ‘The tug, apparently under ordinary cir- cumstances, left her wharf at 9:45 o'clock the night of the 12th, ostensibly for Mi- ami, Fila. to secure a tow. However, at 2345 a.m. of the 12th, with lights extin- guished, she took on a body of men from Jacksonville, supposed to number 100, at Woodbine, at junction of F. C. and P. R. R., with the Satilla river, in the customs district of St. Mary's, Ga., passing out at St. Andrew's bay about daylight the same morning. This information came too late to take action. It is sald she was keavily Jaden with arms and ammunition. No ap- Plication was made for clearance papers at this custom office.” THE “APENTA” HUNGARIAN BITTER WATER, from the UJ HUNYADL Springs: under the abso- lute control of the Royal Hungarian Chemical In- sue «(Ministry of Agriculture), Buda-Pest. 'S-s13t Two National Championships to Be Decided Today. COOPER'S SUCCESSFUL STRING BROKEN Washingtons Again Beaten by the Phillies. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES LOUISVILLE, Ky., August 15.—Two na- tional champicrships ere on the card for the closirg day of the L. A. W. national meet, the half-mile and five-mile events. Although Cooper’s run of successive vic- tories was broken yesterday when little ‘Tommie Butler made his sneak in the mile championship, the Detroit boy is expected to distinguish himself again today. One of the features of the meet so far, in a negative way, is the fact that Eddie Bald has not yet eressed the tape a winner. On ene or two occasions he has been unfor- tunate in his positions at critical stages of a race, but as a rule he simply has not had the speed his competitors have shown. He will hardly do much today, though he still has no lack of confidence. Gardiner is censidered dangerous since his record- breaking performance in the mile open yesterday. He is a brilliant rider and if he does anything at all it is generally something sensational. The other events to be contested today re a one-mile handicap and mile open for amateurs, two-mile amateur state cham- plonship, professional two-mile handicap, 0 class mile for amateurs und mile open professional.

Seven weeks ago the president of the Quaker ball club was quoted as saying that he would not be truly happy until the Fhillies had won three games in a row. Yesterday marked their third straight vic- tory over Schmelz’s wanderers, and for the second time during the series the latter failed to get a runner across the plate. The cause of their being goose-egged was the power and deceptiveness of Addison Gumbert’s right arm, says the Philadelphia Press in its report of the game. If Brook- lyn has any more twirlers like A. G. to cast off, we would like to have a bouquet of them sent to Philadelphia without their asking to have the charges prepaid. The gentlemen with the high-sounding titles started on Gumbert, driving him into the “has been” class. They made three hits off him in the first inning, and then quit as quickly as a card sharp with “cold feet.” They got another single in the second, and after that their hit column was as bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard. For six in- nings in succession they kept drawing blanks out of their bats, and the single His Dukelets Farrell caromed out to right in the eighth looked lonelier than the last bather at the seaside. In the third, fifth, sixth and seventh they went out with the regularity of a farm hand obeying the call to his’ meals, not one batsman getting to first base. Two bases on balls encouraged them a trifle in the fourth, and in the eighth a base on balls and an error, the only one made by the locals during the sham battle, were thelr nearest approaches to scoring. Dur- ing the nine innings only two men reached third base, and each time two hands were out when they got to Cross’ corner. Only two more reached the half-way mark. ‘That's pitching with a vengeance, even though Gumbert used up all the ice water in the barrel in keeping his head cool. Washington tried twelve men. They started out with German and MeGuire as their battery, and at the end of the second, after the Phillies had made five hits and had scored five runs, sent this pitcher and catcher to the stable and uncorked Conny Flynn, the south paw, who blessed his lucky star when he got away from the New Yorks, and McAuley. Even this pair, though, could not stem the tide, and the locals went on piling up hits and runs. In the sixth Abbey relieved Browp in middle garden. Ihe game was too one-sided to be exciting, although those of the 2,300 spec- tators who glory in gore enjoyed it fully. Even with a good lead the Phillies played @ fin-de-siecle game. Six times there were chances to work in sacrifice hits, and Cooley, Hulen, Clements and Cross mani- fested the all-together spirit. Each re- ceived credit for one sacrifice. On an- other occasion Cooley tried to advance a runner on his own out, and Flynn gave him a base on balls, while one of Hulen's would-be’s was turned into a full-/ledged single through Farrell being unable to get up to his neat bunt. Outside of Farrell's saffron-hued at- gempt to cover third, the game was one of good fielding. | coppoonocoHo 1. - Unsptre—Conahan.- Time—Two hours | man and RACING AT LOUISVILLE [2722 Colonels Finally Worn.

Tuck The debut of the new leagae umpire, Conahan, at Philadelphia, yesferday 1s described by the Inquirer in this wise: “Twenty-three hundred deposited their bits of Bryanish coin and sat them down in the Colonel's pet edifice and the adjoin- ing “bleachers” to see and listen. The speedy and unerring construction of vic- tory rewarded their vision, the shrill, ptp- ing notes of a human voice, nay, rather the silvery tone of some celestial musician, fell upon their ear, and they were spell- bound. ’Twas the new umpire, Conahan, unearthed by Nick Young in the wilds of Jersey; and who henceforth will have the temerity to ask: “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Conahan’s a “peach.” In the line of making himself heard he can give the Angel Gabriel cards and spades and a beating. While his judgment was rot severely tested yesterday, still what he had to do was dene all right. He's a nice, accommodating lad, too. He runs around and picks up the catchers’ masks for them and with deferential bow delivers himself: ‘INustrious sir,-allow me.” He'll get over that, though. An Ovation for Tebean. In view of the tact that President W. W. Kerr of Pittsburg voted for the $200 fine imposed upon Patsy Tebeau of the Cleveland base ball club, an exceodingly strange declaration was made by Manager Connie Mack of Pittsburg at the close of yesterday’s game, according to a -lispatch from Pittsburg. Tebeau has many Pitts- burg admirers, and when he appeared on the ground yesterday he received an ova- tion from the grand stand in recognition of his fight for the pennant. Connie Mack said: “It was an outrage to fine Tebeau that $200. The fine has taken all the heart out of the Cleveland team and injured their playing. Tebeau has had a policeman Placed at his elbow at some league grounds. No wonder Cleveland !s not play- ing the game.” Remarks in Philadelphia. Strange things do happen. ‘Two of them were shut-outs. Farrell made a wonderful stop of ‘‘Dei’s” terrific grounder in the eighth. “Duke” Farrell had an off day. It was only lenient scoring that kept his errors down to four. O’Brien kicked, and Conahan turned his back on him and walked away. A good ex- ample for other umpires. Lajoie’s three-bagger was a clean drive ever Brown's head Abbey, however, mis- nee his double badly. It was a hard-hit il, anyway. Another triumph for up-to-date base ball. The first inning promised a slugging match on both sides. The Phillies have surprised their best friends this week. Brown’s injured leg troubled him, and Abbey replaced him. Farrell had thirteen chances at third base. He only missed five. Three straights from Washington, and two of them shut-outs. Well! Conahan has a good voice for an umpire. His decisions were all right, too. It has been a good while since the Phil- lies won three straight from any club. Gumbert was in fine form after the sec- Se inning, and Washington got but one Lush {s batting as did some of the Phil- les’ players of the same name, until re- cently. Farrell had four bad misplays, but his eee of Del's hit somewhat counterbalanced them. All but one of the men advanced by sac- ae hits scored. He was retired at the plate. By all ethics of the profession Tuesday’s game belonged to Washington, but yester- day there were no “ifs.” At least six runs were due te Farrell’s fine work. McGuire and McCauley each threw in one to help along. Then Selbach, the Apollo, and McGuire, the living example that wine improves with age, smote the ball unmercifully and safe. Farrell, at third, was enough to tear down the best work that any pitcher ever did. The batters seemed to take delight in hammering the ball in his direction, and thirteen chances were given him, on four of which he slipped up, and to him we owe many of our runs. His Dukelets made two wild throws and fumbled a grounder. His failure to handle grounders was so evident that the locals gave him lots to do. One of his stops and a catch of a foul fly close to the bleachers, though, deserve credit. The Duke means well, but his avoirdupots is in the road. The Phillies gave a good exhibition of up- to-date scientific ball playing, every man doing his share and doing it well. Espe- clally was this noticeable in the batting and base running. Four sacrifice hits show how well they attempted to help along by this method, and every run that could pos- sibly have been made was scored. It is such ball playing as this that attracts the people and what they pay to see. The career of German in the box was short lived. He lasted just two innings. Then young “Corny” Flynn was brought in, with McCauley to catch him. Cornelius —for possibly that is the way the elder Fiynns decided to distinguish him from the rest of the Flynn family—at a distance is a coy and tempting-looking youth. He, too, fell a victim to the Rogerites. “Corny” still had on « New York uniform, and look- ed like @ ruby in a setting of sapphires. ‘When he read the Inquirer yesterday he took it and showed it to the maid de cham- bre upon his floor at the hotel. “Kind and dosom th; ny” got the scissors, cut off the words “New York” from the breast of his shirt and shipped them to Freedman. Both Ger- Fiynn_recetved very lenock-kneed and generally Nabbergasted support from their confreres. © 0) Br BEAT THE JOLLY FATs. the Burcau of Engraving‘and Printing at National Park yesterday efternoon was one long to be remembered by those who were so fortunate or so unfortunate as to wit- ness it. The Bureau team defeated the Jollly Fats by a score of 11"to 5, due mainly to the fact that the fat people could hit neither Winkleman nor,,Bernard. The friends of both teams were.ut in force and friendly altercations over-the merits of the respective players by tHefr friends were frequent and spirited. *° “Tubby” Dickenson went tnto the box for the fat people in the fourth inning to re- Meve Graff, and the way in which he fired that sphere over the plate—but more fre- quently not over the plate—was a caution. “Tubby” has plenty of speed, and the Bu- reau boys were afraid of his cannon-ball delivery, so that he had the effect of some- what stemming the tide of runs. The only run to come in after he had begun to offi- clate was that by McCauley, a home run, made in the eighth. The Bureau boys won the game in the third inning, when seven ren crossed the plate with that number of tallies. The Fat Men could do nothing with Win- kleman, and were just as much at sea with Bernard, so that even with “Tubby’s” good pitching the Jolly Fats at no time were a factor in the winning of the game. Besides Dickenson’s good work in the box he has four hits out of seven made to his credit and eight fielding chances without an error. Winkleman made three hits, while Beach accepted fifteen chances behind the bat without an error. The score: BUREAUS. j FAT MEN. R.W.O.AE.!

The colored cyclists of the District held a meeting last evening at theicolored Young Men's Christian Associatloh: building, on lith street between Q and Hjstreets, which weB attended by a numberof riders. Mr. Samuel E. Lacy, the temporary chairman, called the meeting to order, with the tem- porary secretary, George Howard, recording the proceedings of the meeting. The aims and objects of the proposed organization were talked over, and fally'explained by the chairman, meeting With the approval of all. Representatives from the Hannibal Athletic Club, the Cross Country Cycle Club, the Anacostia Bicycle Club, the Ideal Cycle Club, the Rambler.Club and several other organizations were present. The-league of the colored riders in the District will be after the Wnited Wheel- men’s organization, though it is contem- plated to extend the organization and make it a national affair, by organizing and con- solidating similar organizations all over the country. The election of officers was held, and Samuel E. Lacy was unanimously elect- ed to the position, his earnest and ener- getic work to perfect the organization be- ing commended by all present. Other off- cers were elected as follows: Vice president, James Langhorne; secretary, George How- ard; assistant secretary, Judd Malvin; treasurer, Dr. Bruce Evans. A comunittee was appointed to draft a ecnstitution and by-laws for the organiza- tion, and the names of nearly fifty men were placed upon the roll as charter mem- bers of the new organization. Defeated by Warrenton. The Columbia Athletic Club of Washing- ton, D. C., was defeated at Warrenton, Va., yesterday by the Warrenton team. The Washington club was assisted by players of the Rockville, Md., team. The score stood 23 to 14 in favor of Warrenton. Rain Delays Champion Tennis.

Harry Park on “Professionals.” To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your interesting column last Satur- day I read with interest the communica- tion sent Chairman Gideon by Mr. Fred. Sims In relation to his troubles, of which he seems to have a large share just at present. I will not here enter Into the de- tails of his communication, except that part which says: “I was giyen my amateur status by the National Assembly when class B men were given permission to com- pete elther es amateurs or professionals. This latter class I will not ride in. It ts more than distasteful to me, as I am look- ing for, and making, a business reputa- tion, and around here a professional is looked down upon in business circles.” Evidently Mr. Sims doesn’t quite under- stand what he was writing about. I am a professional cyclist, and I defy any one to bring anything against me that I have ever done that was detrimental to the sport or that would in any manner jeop- ardize my honorable stapding in the bus!- ness or cycling world, which I hope and ‘think I enjoy. There are, to my certain knowledge, some so-called “amateurs” in this city who do now and have for sev- eral seasons past belonged. in the profes- sional ranks, according to the rules of the L.A.W. And their character wouldn’t be tainted thereby, either..I ‘have also no- ticed that some of the mest flagrant viola- tions of the rules of the racing board have been openly indulged in by amateurs re- Peatedly at meets held in this city recent- ly, that really deserved the;earnest atten- ‘tion of the proper officials, fer the good of the sport. ) { Mr. Sims has been on the track long enough to know better, than make such an assertion, and I should advise him to “first remove the mote) out of his own eye, etc.” Let us have clean sport at all times, but don’t let any one say that he is too good for the professional ranks, for @ man can be @ man in every sense of the word, and not be inclined to stoop to low methods in order to win a few paltry dol- lars, even though he is a professional bi- cyclist.

NANSEN’S OWNSTORY He Describes the Adventures of His Polar Expedition. WENT 10 THE NEW SIBERIAN ISLANDS a Then Drifted Northwest Toward the Pole. —— et RETURN IN THE WINDWARD LONDON, August 15.—The story in de- tail by the explorer himself of Dr. Fridjof Nansen’s arctic expedition and the adven- tures of his party, together with the sci- entific results obtaining, first of which is his success in penetrating to the highest latitude hitherto trod by the foot of man, namely, 86 degrees 14 minutes north, were given to the world by the Chronicle this morning, following the story by Jacksoa of the finding of Nansen, contained in a dispatch from Vardo, Norway, yesterday to the Associated Press. Dr. Nansen says in the Chronicle: “The Fram left Jugor strait August 14, 1898. We had to force our way through much {ce along the Siberian coast. We discovered an island in the Kara sea and a great number of islands along the coast to Cape Cheljuskin. In several places we found evidences of a glacial epoch, during which northern Siberia must have been covered by an inland ice to a great ex- tent. “On September 15 we were off the mouth of the Olenek river, but we thought it was too late to go in there to fetch our dogs, as we would not risk losing a year. We passed the New Siberian Islands September 22. We made fast to a floe in latitude 78 degrees 50 minutes north and in longitude 133 degrees 37 minutes east. We then al- lowed the ship to be closed in by the ice. Drifted North and Northwestward. “As anticipated, we were gradually drift- ed north and northwestward during the autumn and winter from the constantly ex- posed and violent ice pressures, but she (the Fram) surpassed our expectations, be- ing superior to any strain. The tempera- ture fell rapidly and was constantly low, with little variation, for the whole winter. During weeks the mercury was frozen. The lowest temperature was 62 degrees below vero. Every man on board was in perfect health during the whole voyage. The elec- tric light, generated by a windmill, fulfilled our expectations. The most friendly feel- ing existed and time passed pleasantly. Every one made pleasure his duty and a ketter lot of men could hardly be found. “The sea was up to 90 fathoms deep south of 97 degrees north, where the depth sud- denly increased and was from 1,600 to 1,900 fathoms north of that latitude. This will necessarily upset all previous theories based on a shallow polar basin. “The sea bottom was remarkably devolad of, organic matter. During the whole drift I had good opportunities to take a series of scientific observations, meteorological, mag- nétic, astronomical and biological; sound- ings, deep sea temperatures, examinations for the salinity of the sea water, etc. Under the stratum of cold ice water covering the surface of the polar basin, I soon discov- ered warmer and more saline water, due to the gulf stream, with temperatures from 31 degrees to 33 degrees. “We saw no land and no open water ex- cept narrow creeks, in any direction. As anticipated, our drift northwestward was most rapid during the winter and spring, while the northerly winds stopped or driftea us backward during the summer. On June 18, 1894, we were in 81 degrees 52 minutes north, but we drifted then southward only. On October 21 we psssed 82 degrees north. On Christmas eve, 1894, latitude 83 degrees north was reached, and a few days later, §3 degrees 24 minutes, the furthest norih latitude previously reached by man. _ Fram’s Wonderfal Endurance. “On January 4 and 5 the Fram was ex- posed to the most violent ice pressures we experienced. She was then firmly frozen in fce of more than thirty feet of measured thickness. This floe wss overridden by great ice masses, which were pressed against the port side with irresistible force and threatened to bury, if not crush her. ‘The necessary provisions with the can- vas kayaks and other equipments had been placed in safety upon the-ice. Every man was ready to leave the ship if necessary, and was prepared to continue with the drift, living on the floe. But the Fram proved even stronger than our trust in her. When the pressure rose to the high- est and the ice was piled up high above the @ulwarks she was broken loose an? slowly lifted out of her bed in which she had been frozen, but not the slightest sign of a split was to be discovered anywhere in her. After that experience, I consider the Fram almost equal to anything in the way of ice pressure. Afterward, we ex- perienced nothing more of the kind, but our drift was rapidly continued north and northwestward. Decided to Lenve the Ship. “As I now with certainty anticipated that the Fram would soon reach her highest latitude north of Franz Josef Land, and that she would not easily fail to carry out the program of the expedition, viz.: to cress the unkrown polar basin, I decided to leave the ship in order to explore the sea north of her route. Lieut. Johansen volunteered to join me, and I could not easily have found a better companion in every respect. The leadership of the ex- pedition on board the Fram I left to Capt. Sverdrup. With my trust in his qualifica tions as a leader and his ability to over- come difficultics I have no doubt that he will bring all the men safely back, even if the worst should happen and the Fram be lost, which I consider improbable. “On March 3 we reached 84 degrees 4 minutes north. Johansen and I left the Fram on March 14, 1895, at 83 degrees 5 minutes north and 102 degrees 27 minutes east. Our purpese was to explore the sea to the north and reach the highest latitude possible, and then to go to Spitzbergen via Franz Josef Land, where we felt certain to fird a ship. We had twenty-eight dogs, two sledges and two kayaks for possible open water. The dog food was calculated for thirty days and our provisions for 100 days. We found the ice in the beginning tolerably good traveling, and so made good distances, and the tce did not appear drift- ing much. On March 22 we were at 8 de- grees 10 minutes north. Although the dogs were less enduring than we hoped, still they were tolerably good. The ice now be- came rougher and the drift contrary. On March 25 we had only reached 8 degrees 19 minutes north, and on March 29, 8 de- grees 30 minutes. “We were now evidently drifting fast to- ward the south. Our progress was very slow. It was fatiguing to work our way and carry our sledges over the high hum- mocks constantly being built up by the floes grinding against each other. The ice was in strong movement, and the ice pres- sure was heard in all directions. “On April3 we were 85 degrees 0 minutes north, constantly hoping to meet smoother ice. On April 4 we reached 86 degrees 3 minutes north, but the ice became rougher, until on April 7 it got so bad that I con- sidered it unwise to continue our march in @ northerly direction. Farthest North. “We were then at 96 degrees 14 minutes north. We then made an excursion on skis further northward in order to examine as to the possibility of a further advance. But we could see nothing but ice of the same description, hummock beyond hummock to the horizon, looking like a sea of frozen breakers. We had had low temperature, and during nearly three weeks it was in the neighborhood of 40 degrees below zero. On April 1 it rose to eight degrees below zero, but soon sank again to 38. When a wind was blowing in this temperature we did not feel comfortable in our too thin woolen clething. To save weight, we had left our fur suits cn board ship. The minimum tem- perature in March was 49, and the maximum was 24. In April the minimum was 38 and the maximum 29 degrees. “We saw no sign of land in any direction. In fact, the floe of ice seemed to move so freely before the wind that there could not have been any*hing in the way of land to stop it for a long distance off. We were now drifting rapidly northward. Marching Toward Frans Josef Land. “On April 8 we began our march toward Franz Josef Land. On April 12 our watches ran down, owing to the unusual length of the day’s march. After that date we were uncertain as to our longitude, but hoped that our dead reckoning was fairly correct. As ‘we came south we met many cracks, which greatly retarded our progress. The pro- visions were rapidly decreasing. The dogs were killed one after the other to feed the rest. “In June the cracks became very bad. and the snow was in exceedingly bad condition for traveling. The dogs and the ski and sledge runners broke through the super- fieial crust and sank deep tn the wet snow. Only a few dogs were now left, and pro- gress was next to impossible. But, unfor- tunately, we had no line of retreat. The dogs’ rations, as well as our own, were re- duced to a minimum, and we made the best way we could ahead. We expected daily to find land in sight, but we looked in vain. On May 31 we were in 82 degrees 21 min- utes north, and on June 4 In 82 degrees 18 minutes north, but on June 15 we had been drifted to northwest to 82 degrees 26 min- utes north. No land was to be seen, al though, according to Payer’s map, we had expected to meet with Petermann Land, at 83 degrees north. These discrepancies became more and more puzzling as time went on. “On June 22 we had a last shot at a beard- ed seal, and, as the snow became constantly worse, I determined to walt. We now had @ supply of seal meat, until it melted away. We also shot three bears. We had only two dogs left, which were now well fed upon meat. Sighted Unknown Land. “On July 22 we continued our journey over tolerably good snow. On July 24, when about #2 degrees north, we sighted unknown land at last, but the ice was everywhere broken into small floes, the water between beirg filled with crushed ice, in which the use of kayaks was im- possible. We, therefore, had to make our way by balancing from one piece to an- other, and we did not reach land until August 6 at 81.38 north and about 63 de- grees east lorgitude. “This proved to be entirely ice-capped islands. “In kayaks we made our way westward In open water along these islands, and on August 12 we discovered land extending from southeast to northwest. The country became more and more puzzling, is I could find no agreement with Payer’s map. I thought we were in longitude cast of Austria sound, but if this was correct, we were now traveling straight across Wilczek Land and Dove Glacier without seeing any land near us. . Last Winter. “On August 26 we reached a spot in 83 north and 56 east, evidently well suited for wintering, and as it was now 700 la for the voyage to Spitzbergen, I considered it wisest to stop and prepare for winéer. We shot bears and walruses and built a hut of stones, earth and moss, making the roof of walrus hide tied down with rope and covered with snow. We usel the blubber for cooking, light and heat. The bear meat and the blubber was our only food for ten months. The bear skins for:n- ed our beds and sleeping bag. The winter, however, passed well, and we were both in perfect health. Spring came with sun- sbine and with much open water to the Southwest. We hoped to have an casy Voyage to Spitzbergen over the floe ice and the open water. We were obliged to manu- facture new clothes from blankets and a new sleeping bag of bear skin. Our visions were raw meat and blubber. “On May 19 we were, at last, ready to Start. We came to open water on May 23 in $1.05 north, but were retarded by storms until June %. A little south of SI degrees we found land extending westward and open water which reached west-north- west along its north coast. But we pre- ferred to travel southward over the ice through a broad soun “We came, on June pre- to the south side of the island and found much open water trending westward. We sailed and pad- Cled in this direction in order to proceed across to Spitzbergin from the most west- mart cape, but Payer's map was mislead- ng.”” Dr. Nansen’s account concludes as fol- lows, after touching on the details of his meeting with Jackson, whi been cabled to the ich have already cen Associated Press “We left Franz Josef Land in the ste am- er Windward on August 7. and had a short &nd very pleasant passage, thanks to the masterly way in which Capt.

(Gigned) “NANSEN.” MET IN THE FAR NORTH Explorer Jackson Describes His Encounter With Nansen, A ‘copyrighted dispatch to the Associated Press from Vardo, Norway, dated yester- day, says: The captain of the Windward, the British steamer which has just returned from Franz Josef land after taking supplies to the British north pole expedition, com- manded by Jackson, and known as the Jackson-Harmsworth expedition, filed a te! egraphic message here yesterday, descriv- ing the accidental meeting between Jack- son and Dr. Nansen, and forming one of the most remarkable incite nts in the his- tory of arctic exploration, for it ap that the Ncrwegian explorers had living in a hut quite close to one of lish explorers’ stations for a long time Previous to the meeting of the two mu yet neither of them was aware of the oth- er’s presence in that vicinity. In this message Jackson describes his ac- cidental meeting with Dr. Nansen while the latter wes traversing e nd it appears that it was a lucky mecting for the Norwegian explorer, as the latter was misied owing to inaccuracies in the map drawn by Payer, the discoverer of Franz Josef land, and also because Dr. Nansen’s two chronometers and his watch having stopped, he was quite unable to establish his position, and was consequently trying to march westward to Spitzbergen over the ice puck, which was not only highly danger- cus, but probably impossible. Jackson, afier meeting Nan: conducted the latter to Elmwood, the headquarters of the British expedition, where the doctor awaited the arrival of the Windward,which left the Thames on June 10 and Vardo on June 28, to take supplies to the Jackson ex- Pedition, and not te bring them back, as currently reported. The Meeting. Jackson, in the dispatch filed by the cap- tain of the Windward, said: “On June 17 I met Dr. Nansen three miles out on a floe, S. 8. E. of Cape Flora and under most ex- traordinary circumstances. He had win- tered in a rough hut within a mile or two of our northern limit in 18%, and this spring we came within a few miles of his winter quarters. “Dr. Nansen left the Fram with one com- panion, Lieut. Sigard Scott Hansen, a lieu- tenant in the Norwegian navy, and din tor of the astronomical, meteorological and magnetic observations, and reached latitude $6.14, traveling northeast from where he left the Fram, which was in ¥i north, 102 east. “Dr. Nansen expressed the greatest sur- prise and the liveliest satisfaction at meet- ing with us. You understand how greatly the meeting affected me and my pleasure 4 the extraordinary chanc it in my way to rend: store him to his friends, Jackson then describes his own experi- enccs on exploring the western parts of Franz Josef land, telling how he has drawn extensive and accurate maps and has dis- covered new regions, adding: “When the Windward left in 18% we were out on a month's expedition to the northwest in a little boat, the Mary Harms- worth, and discovered a large tract of land to the westward of hitherto unknown lim- its and a magnificent headland, composed of ice from its summit to its foot, and having at its base a huge, unnegotiable rampart of ice. We named it Harmsworth cape, and only approached the base of the headland with the greatest difficulty, ow- ing to the surging masses of heavy ice and furious gales, during which cur boat Was upon several occasions nearly smash- ed to atoms. “We landed on the coast as often as pos- sible and avoided the highest peaks, end made numerous geological collections. “Far up Cambridge bay we discovered another lofty ice headland and named it Cape Fridtjof Nansen. There our boat was nearly lost owing to her sea anchor having been carried away and a huge block of ice, which was swerving round, stove in several of her planks. But we managed to bale her out, and then rigging another anchor, with oars, we had alto- gether a very exciting voyage. Stopped by Open Water. “This spring had been phenomenally mild. Although we marched north a great distance, using sixteen dogs and a pony, we mei after a fortnight open water, reaching from the face of a huge glacier east to the precipitous end of another huge glacier west. Advance by sledges was thus cut off. We then struck southeast, down Markham sound, and added greatly to our discoveries of 1 But we were again stopped by open water, reaching cntirely across the sound, so we were turned west- ward, succeeding in exploring ern shores. ‘During April terrific snow storms, coupled with rises in the temperatur tirely broke up the ice and pr marching: but we took a number of valu- eble photographs.” It is believed here that the Fram may turn up here or at Bergen shortly, as she stood the ice very well, has plenty of pro- visions on board, and there was no sick- ness among her crew when Dr. left her on March 14, 1895. Prof. Mohn says that the scientific re- sults of Dr. Nansen’s observations are magnificent, and that several islands have been discovered. t which had thrown im service and re- and botanical the entire Nansen Nansen's Experience. Dr. Nansen, in describing their life dur- ing the winter of 1815-16, said: “When the bears’ flesh had been exhaust- €@ we were obliged to kill the weakest dogs to feed the others, and continue thus until the whole pack had been staughtered. “Myself and my compantons started in the direction of Spitzbergen on May 10. After that .we occupied six w shoes, dragging sledges and kayaks (the arctic canoe) loaded on sledges after us, We went partly over land and partly over sea ice. “We reached Jackson’s winter quarters, where we found all in good health.
