Nkw Yobs, Sept. 28.—The steamship
Spree, just arrived at quarantine, had
among her passengers the following
named gentlemen belonging to the arc
tic expedition: Professor Walter Well
man, Professor C. B. French, of the
coast and geodetic snrvoy of Washing
ton, who was astronomical observer of
the party; Dr. Thomas R. Mohua, med
ical officer, and Clmrlos C. Dodge, artist
and photographer, all of whom belong
to Washington, B. C. They left hero
last March bound for the north pole via
Norway, and have boon gouo a little
over six mouths. Professor Wellman,
who was in charge, gives the following
account of the expedition:
“On May 1 they left -the town of
Tromso, in Norway, on the steamer
Raguvold Jarl, with 25 persons all told,
10 of whom belonged to tho expedition
and nine to the crow. We reached
Spitsbergen ou May 7, istitnde 79 de
grees, 45 minutes, depositing a largo
quantity of provisions, leaving in oharge
Professor Oyen, Norwegian geologist,
who was to study the glaciers.
“May 15, finding open water on the
nortli coast of Spitsbergen, tho steamor
was headed for the southern laud, 125
miles to the northeast. After several
battles with tho ice we reached Tablo
Island on May 12, latitnde 80 degress, 5
minutes, or within 550 miles of tho
north pole, within 150 miles as far as
had been reached by tho Lockwood and
Braiuard expedition. Thus far had wo
advanced in 11 days from civilization,
having covered as much ground iu that
tinio as other expeditions hail in months
or even years. Up to this time the sea
son had promised to he a fnvorablo one,
and wo hail hoped in a few days to bo
able to net out oil our journey over tho
ice paek to tho north,-.it. Storms now
set iu on the fifteenth, nuil vast quanti
ties of broken ice went drifting pint.
Ou tho sevouteonth the steamer was
forced to tho north a little past the
eighty, first parallel, uml it was then
driven back by tho floating ice, through
which no steamer, thongh she were as
large os the Spree, could have forced
her way. In what seemed to bo a safe
anchorage, tho expedition left tho shin

inum boats, five aluminum sledges and
45 draft dogs from Belgium. Onr course
was to the eastward, skirting tho north
ern shore or Northcastland, where the
ice, though exceedingly rough in places,
was yet practicable os a road. Four
days later we received -word by messen
ger that the ship had been crushed by
the ioe; fortunately most of the stores
were savod. Notwithstanding this loss
of the ship, which cut off our lino of re
treat, we decided to go on. After ex
ploring most of the coast of the North-
easland, we found the ico thrown upin
high confusion in every direction. Wo

t>le effort- we found that we had ad
vanced less than four miles. The somo
condition of ioe existed as far as the eye
could see. Further progress being im
possible, wo rnado our way back
through many dangers and difficulties
to Walden, Iceland, often walking In
water ap to our waists. One member of
tho party, Alme, tho meteorologist,
broke Ills leg.
“Mr. Alme hod to bo dragged in the
boat over the ico and slush. No chango
haring occurred in tho extremely nufn-
vor'ablo nature of the season, which
might giro us an opportunity to still
work farther north, wc set out on Au
gust 4 to fight our way through drifting
ice to the mainland or Spitsbergen, and
in this wo were successful. After a
hard strugglo of four days wo reached
Low island, and there found a Norwe
gian hunting sloop, tho Borcntine, which
wo hired to carry us back to our heod-
qriarters at Dane’s island. After that
wo wont to Norway, where wo arrived
ou August 15.’’

Washington, Sept. 28.—Mrs. Peary
in au interview said:
“It is a mistake to allndo to my hus
band as a seeker for the north pole. His
object has been, and still is, to delineate
the northern coast of Greenland. No
ono can tell bow far Greenland extends
northward, and Lieutenant Peary says
that if it goes to tho polo ho will go
there too; but no matter bow high it
runs, he is determined to follow it.”
“Will you return to your husband
noxt year?” queried tho reporter.
“That depends upon tho American
people,” responded the energetic wo
man with a cheery amile. "My hus
band and mypelf have about reached the
end of onr resource* in outfitting the ex
peditions, and bars expended something
iver (50,000. I have made no plans yet
but will see the president of the Ameri
can Geographical society in New York
shortly. If it is possible I shall fit oat a

LOLA SMALL JACKSON.
Sh* Wants a Divorce and Custody ot Bor
Child, a Little OlrL
Atlanta, Sept. 28.—A special from
Knoxnlle, Tenu., says:
In the chancery court here, a divorce
bill has just been filed of more than,
passing interest. The complainant is
the daughter of the well known evan
gelist and newspaper mu, Sam W.
Small. The defendants husband, in
less than one year's time, squandered a
legacy of $30,000.
The style of the case Is “Lola Small
Jackson vs. James A. Jackson.” In
cold frets, the bill says they were mar
ried in Grainger county in August,
1692. When Jackson reached his ma
jority he came into possession of $80,-
000. He began to drink heavily, and in
faqt went an the gaits. It was daring
the summer of 1893 that he spent some
“n at fate Springs, a popular Summer
jrt, and it was there that he met
is Small. It was a cose of love at
first sight, and on Ang. 9 they were
mqdo mqp and v^fe.
Soon after tho ceremony they cams to
Knoxrillo, where they resided during
the Winter of 1892-98. If Jackson’i
gait oould haVo been called speedy be
fore, it now became donbly go- Be
drank heavily, frcqnentoa gambling
houses, where he never foiled to lose,
and hod a high time in general, seeming
to care little for the reputation of him
self or his fnmilv. This continued un
til tho spring of 1893; when ho awpko
one fine morning to find time ho was
practically penniless. It was tlion that
his wife returned so her parents and
some months after a little daughter was
born to her.
Jackson loft for Texas and there ho
hns remained. The bill recites his hab
its, says he would become boisterous
and abusive whon drunk, and that
sometimes he would suffer from de
lirium tremens and get to the point
where ho would threaten to shoot. She
shows that lie is not tho proper person
to have the custody of the child and
sues for absolute divoroe and tho ous-
tody of her little daughter.
