' NANSEN’S PLAN. HE EXPLAINS, HOW HE WOULD REACH. THE NORTH POLE. He Believes There is a Current Which will Carry a Ship from Siberia to the Pole. His Ship Built to Resist Crush— ing in the Ice. . Dr. Nansen, the noted Norwegian ex- plOrer, before starting for the North Pole explained in the Strand Magazine ' how he expected to reach thatvpoint. .Which no explorer had ever succeeded south in the spring of 1898: The principal feature in the plan of my attempt to penetrate into the North Polar region, or if possible to cross it, is, in brief, to try to make use of the currents of the sea, instead of fighting must somewhere run currents into the Polar region, which ,carry the tics ice across the Polar Sea, first northward toward the Pole, and then southward again into the Atlantic Ocean. That — these currents really exist all Arctic expeditions prove, as most of them have had to fight against the currents and against the ice drifting southward, ' because they have tried to get north- ward from the wrong side. That currents run across the North Polar-regions is, proved bymany facts. I may mention the great quantities of Siberian driftwood which are annually Carried to the shores of Spitzbergen and Greenland; it comes in such abundance and with such regularity that it is quite impossible it should be carried to these shores, so far from the original home, by occasional winds or currents. There must be a regular communica- tion between the coasts of Siberia and those of Spitzbergen and Greenland. By this same communication were sev- eral objects from the unfortunate J can- ette carried to the Greenland coast. The Jeanette sank in June, 1881, to the three years afterward, in June, 1884, a. great many objects belonging to her or her crew were found on an ice. floe on the southwest coast of Greenland. This fioe can only have been brought there by the same current which car- ,y,» w,- DR. NANSEN. ries the driftwood. By this same cur. rent an Esquimau implement, a throw- ing stick or harpoon thrower. was also carried the long wav from Alaskato the west coast of Greenland. There can, in my opinion, be no doubt of the existence of such a communication or current across the North Polar region from the Siberian side tothe Greenland aide. My intention is to make use of this communication, which nature herself has established. , I shall try to find the place where the heart of this current has its origin, and shall go north there until I am beset in the Polar ice, and then simply let the current have its way and let it carry us across the unknown region and out into the open sea again on this side of the Pole. . How long the expedition will last is, of course, very diflicult to calculate be- forehand, as we do not know much of the speed Of the current with which we are going to~ travel. I believe, however, there is not much probability that it will take more than three years till we come out into the open sea again, or to somewhere from whence we can return home; and as we have taken provisions for five or even six years, I think we shall not run the risk of starving. It has been Said that this expedition is very risky; indeed, I believe this is the general opinion. I cannot agree with it. If there is no current I do not see why it should be risky to go; we shall be unable to advance, and will be able to return when we see we are mistaken. If there are currents, however, Or if the ice is moved only by winds which have the same effect, we must certainly, in less than five or six years, be brought somewhere near the coasts _of the Polar Sea, and' wherever we come we shall 'be able to reach human dwellings, if it be on the American or the Asiatic side. The Polar basin is really so small that in the course of five years we must be drifted across it, whatever the speed may be. If the ship is destroyed we will make use of our boats, as I have already'mentioned; and if our drift is stOpped by land, we shall either have to try and get afloat again or have to trav- el over the ice and make for the near- est land known. - ThePolar basin is not so great as to render this impossible, when you have an equipment specially adapted for it, and take care to travel ' with the currents, and not against them.

' Status of the Hill-Thacher-Tammany ‘ Hall Disagreement. ' Yet the Friction Has Not Soitened, and Sen- ator Bill Is Bitter, While Tammany Clamors For Thacher’s Head. Senator Blkins’ Prediction. a hotel corridors and the gossip of the polit- ical centers today is the unprecedentedly interesting meeting of the Democratic state committee last night, which began at 8 o’clock and lasted until very nearly 3 o’clock this morning. The result, the appointing of a commit- tee of five to wait upon John Boyd Thach- er and get a more definite expression of his views upon the state platform, is sub- test this morning to various constructions. Those of Tammany who oppose Mr. Thacher’s candidacy claim that they voted for this amended resolution for the pur- pose of compromising until Mr. Thacher could be pinned down to a more absolute statement of facts regarding the indorse- ment of the national ticket. Those, how- ever, who supported Senator Hill in his fight for the retention of Thacher claim :that it was a victory for Senator Hill in his attempt to make the campaign one of state issues only. The vote on the proposi- tion to have _Mr. , Thacher further inter- Vlewed was 42 to 2, and this rather points toward the comprOmise solution as being the true one. The original resolution, over which oc- curred one Of the most heated controversies on record within a, party in many years, readsias follows: ‘ Resolved, That we hereby request Mr. John Boyd Thacher to withdrawfrom his candidacy for the governorship-in order that the state committee may name one in his place who is in adopted at Chicago. The resolution as adopted read: Resolved, That a committee of five be ap- pointed to notify the candidates on the state ticket of their nomination and that such com- mittee report back to the state committee at a meeting to be held Monday, Sept. 28, the re- sult of its action. Under this resolution action of the com- mittee in the matter of the retirement of Thacher was postponed until next Monday _ night. . The committee appointed consists of Bernard Yorke, George L. Cotton, Thomas F. Grady, Clinton Beckwith and Mayor Malloy of Troy. The committee will wait upon .Mr. Thacher at his home in Albany the latter part of the week and will report back to the committee on Monday night. In the meantime the result of the heated controversy of last night betweenSen’ato'r Hill and Senator Grady forms this .inter- esting set of unchangeable conclusions»: Senator Hill is against the national ,plat- form in equally as decided amanner as he was previous to its adoption. He believes in and will fight for a cam- paign by the state Democracy upon state issues only, supporting the Democratic national nominees, but not their platform. He deprecates the catering Of the party to the laboring classes, urging that they are mistaken in their support of the Chi- cago faction. _ , He terms, the Chicago platform a “hell- lsh invention designed to please the an- archistic sentiment of Tillman, Altgeld, Most and Debs. ” ' Tammany Hall, through Senator Grady, declared that Mr. Thacher could not poll 50,000 votes in New York, and._practically asserted that if .Mr. Thacher remained at the head of the ticket they would not sup- port him. . The Populists and more radical silver men 'wlll, if Thacher remains in the race, repudiéte him and hold‘a convention of their own, with the intention of making a clear line between silvervand gold in this state. These are the issues as plainly set forth last night and more clearly defined by the opinions of the leaders today. The friction has not subsided one whit, and the Tam- many leaders declare that Thacher must step down and make way for a silver man. There are those who believe that the postponement of the decision in Mr. Thach- er’s case was for the purpose of awaiting the action of the Brooklyn convention of gold men, and the effort to have them in dorse Thacher still continues. Chairman Danforth said that it was un- true that Mr. Hill had said that he would rather see the Democratic party in h—l than on the Chicago platform, and Mr. Hill corroborated the denial. Internal Revenue Collector Pratt of Al- bany denounced Mr. Thacher for writing the letter. He Said, “If Mr. Thacher had not assured us. that he would stand on the platform, Albany county would never have presented his name.” Senator Elkins’ Prediction. WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—Senator Elkins of West Virginia is in the city for a few days before starting again on his stumping tour in West Virginia. Mr. Elkins has made ten or a dozen speeches in the north- begln the campaign in the southern por- tion. The senator has entirely recovered from his recent lndlsposition. He repudi- ates the lnslnuations that he is lukewarm as to the results of the coming election and declares that he will continue in the cam- paign until the end and will probably speak in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and possibly other states. 01' his own state he feels no doubt of the result and says it will give McKinley a majority of from 10,- 000 to 15,000. There is some disaffectlon among Republicans in the state on ac- count of the silver question, but this Mr. Elklns says will be more than made up by the vote of the “gold standard” Democrats. The senator has kept in close touch with the leaders and from the information he has received expresses the belief that Major McKinley will have a “walkover.” “The Republicans are certain of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware,” he said,'.“and the chances ‘are favorable for Minnesota, Nebyaska. California and Ken- tucky.” ' , Bryan’s \Vest Virginia Tour. I ‘ WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—The Democratic leaders here have arranged foratrio of well known campaign speakers to assist Mr. Bryan on his stumping tour through West Virginia. They will include Repre- sentative Benton McMillin of Tennessee, Jeff Chandler of California and Stilson Hutchins of New Hampshire.

The managers believe by this means that with these speakers great- er enthusiasm will be aroused and good results obtained. ' Thacher -Won’t Talk. ALBANY, Sept. 24.—-It was the prevail- ing Opinion yesterday that Mayor John Boyd Thacher went to Altamont yesterday afternoon merely to spend the night, and he would return to the city bright and early this morning, but at his office today it was announced that the mayor would not come to the city today, and also that Mr. Thacher had not revealed his plans re~ gardlng his stay at his summer home to any one, but that sit was thought that he would spend the next few days at least in seclusion. His private secretary. was at his desk in the city hall at 10 o’clock when your representative called, and in response to a request to be allowed to communicate by telephone with the mayor he said, “The mayor begs to be excused from being in- terviewed, and he authorizes me to state that he has no statement whatever for the press.” Arizona Republicans.
