patent office. He tried to
make a balloon voyage across the arctic
regions last .Inly, but failed on account
of adverse winds and defects in his air
ship. With better equipment now and
pretitimr by experience, he has confl
uence that lie can at least survey from
above the north pole and its surround'
mgs. He argues that his method of ex
ploration will be easier, safer and surer
than attempting to penetrate the ice-
hound country in any other way.
For ■.’» years he has been planning
such an expedition and finally enlisted
the financial support of the Swedish
Academy of Science, as well as the
m .re or less active interest of the inter
national geographical congress and othetf
organized bodies.
The voyage to the pole ho thinks will
last from do to fa hours, though favor
able winds may expedite it, may even
reduce it to five or six hours. His de
sire is to spend :!0 days in cruising about
the central polar basin, taking a com
plete survey of it. With a fair wind of
average vein ity he calculates that he
can travel about 12,000 miles in 30 days.

POPULIST PARTY.
New National Committee Named bj the
Conference nt Nashville.
Nashville, July 7.—The national
conference of the Popoiiats has ad
journed after adopting a plan for thfc
reorganization of the party. The en
tire machinery of the party has been
remodeled on the lines laid down in the
Report of the committee on resolutions.
The former national Populist committee
still exists, but its wings have been
clipped.
In place of this national commltteo
the conference has selected a reorgani
zation committee, which consists of
three members from each state, with a
national chairman and a national ex
ecutive committee. This body is given
plenary authority over ail matters con
cerning party policy and managemeut,
and it has been instructed to assume
command at once.
Following is the organization com
mittee: Milton Parker, Dallas, Tex.,
chairman; W. S. Morgan, Arkansas,
secretary; D. W. Grow, Alabama, treas

mittee was appointed: A. A. Gunley,
Louisiana; Colonel W. L. Peek, Geor
gia; Iguatiu9 Donnelly, Minnesota; Abe
Steinberger, Kansas; L. O. Bateman,
Maine.
An address to the people was adopted.

publican and Democratic parties, de

WINTER SPORT AT OURAY.
Snowshoe Race*, Tobogganing and H1U
Scaling In Colorado.
Ouray, Oolo., July 7.—This is the
hottest town on ice in the United States
today. Snowshoeiug and tobogganing
are all the rage and the people lament
the fact that they are without the
proper facilities to exteud a welcome to
those who are suffering from au over
dose of climate. Never was there a
more enthusiastic cro Ad th: n that which
gathered to witness the snowshoe races.
Money was freeiy wagered on the re
sult, but there was uo attempt to make
or break records, owing to the abseuce
of some of the swiftest runners of the
San Juan couutry who failed to appear,
as there was no snowshoe races ou the
program when it was circulated in the
surrounding hills a week ago. J. L
Tiedemaun was awarded- the sweep-
stakes, having won more events than
any other competitor. The raoes com
prised spriuts, hill scaling, jumping and
flat races.
The climbing prize went to Frank
’Leary, with Evan Jones a good sec
ond. Jumping was not equal iu inter-;
est to the other features, owing to the
snow not being deep enough to cover
some of the ugly rocks, which almost
precipitated a serious disaster, the en
tries running foul of a bad stretch of
conutry on their course and getting bad
falls.

Pettigrew Declare* tha Conntry Cannot
Prosper Under Gold Standard.
Washington. Jnly 7.—Senator Petti
grew presented in the senate a state
ment prepared by himself, giving Ja
pan’s reasons for adopting the gold
standard, together with translations of
the new currency law of the conntry,
the speech of Minister of Finance Hit-
snkata in presenting the measure and
the report of the Japanese currency
commission. |
Mr. Pettigrew says'that from a care
fnl reading of the speech of Gonnt Mat-
snkata in presenting the measure he is
convinced that the gold standard has
been adopted entirely in the interests of
the creditor classes of Japan and for the
purpose of preventing a farther decline
in the purchasing power of their crodita
Senator~Pettigrew conclndes that the
result of this step on the port of Japan
mast be the same there as elsewhere,
saying:
"It cannot help bat result in the far
ther appreciation of gold and a cor
responding apparent decline in the value
of silvor, ns well as a decline in the gold
price of all products, which will check
Japan’s wonderful industrial prosperity
and transfer her indnstrics to Ghiua, if
China remains upon a silver basis.’*
He conclndes that as a result Japan
will also experience "the same ruin to
her agricultural classes that has re
sulted to agriculture in every gold stand
ard country in the world. “
LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN.
No Rash to Senate Galleries on Last Day
of Tariff Debate.
R Washington. July 7.—The senate
met in’ pursuance with an agreement
reached at the Repnblican caucus, with
the understanding that the tariff bill
would come up for a vote. It appears
to have little effect in stimulating pub
lic interest, as there was no rush to the
naileries which usually marks such an
important event.
The chaplain’s prayer gave thanks
for the sinking of transient local issues
and besought "that the tariff bill may
disappoint the fears of its opponents
and excuse the hopes of its advocates in
its effect on pnblio prosperity and
civility.” „
At the request of Mr.-Pettigrew (Rep.,
S. D.) the official papers from Japan on
the adoption of the gold standard were
ordered printed 03 a senate document

SHERMAN ON THE STRIKE.
Seflretarjof Stale Says Arbitration I* Not
Good Solution.
Washington, Jnly 7.—In speaking of
the miners’ strike, Secretary of State
Sherman said that such disturbances
were always serious and threatened to
become iujnrions to business interests.
The withholding of so important a pro
duct os coal, if continued tor a consid
erable period, he said, necessarily in
volves a liberal increase in prices and
consequently affects all classes.
He does not believe that politics en
ters into strikes—that any of the par
ties, or that either the preceding or the
present administration can be held re
sponsible for the existing disagreements
between the operators and miners.
Secretary Sherman said that a solu
tion of these problems mast be found by
the employers and those in their ser
vice. They must adjust their differ
ences in their own way and to their
own satisfaction. Outside suggestions
and interference wonld be resented.
For this reason he does not believe
that any general plan of arbitration for
the adjudication of labor troubles, as
proposed by pending congressional leg-
ition, wonld be acceptable to either
of the parties, or coaid be made effective
In praotical application. The theory is
good, he said, bat the execution wonld
be difficult, if not impossible.
