| V ardor, Norway, Aug. 18.—Tha
captain of the Windward, the British
steamer which has just returned (ruin
Franz Josef land after taking supplies
to the British North pole expedition
commanded by Jackson and known as
the Jackson-Harmswurtb expedition,
filed a telegraphic message here yes
terday describing the accidental
meeting of Jackson and Dr. Nansen,
forming one of the most remarkable
Incidents la the history of Arctic ex
ploration, for it appears that the Nor
wegian ex plorer had been living in a
but quite close to one of the English
explorer's stations for a long time pre
vious to tiie meetiug of the two men,
yet neitiier one of them was aware of
the other’s presence in that vicinity.
In this rncssrge, Jackson describes bis
accidental meeting with Dr Nansen
while the laiter was traversing the
ice pack, and it appears that it was a
lucky meeting for the Norwegian ex
plorer, as the latter was misled, ow
ing to inaccuracies on the mao drawn
by i’ayer, the discoverer of Franz
Josef land, and also uecause Dr. Nan
sen's two chronometers and his watch
having stopped, he was quite unable
to establish his position and was con
sequently trying to march westward
to Mpit/.bergen over the lev pack,
which was not only highly dangerous j
but probably impossible.
Juckson. after meeting Nansen, con
ducted the latter to Elmwood, the 1
headquarters of the British expedition,
where the Doctor awaited the arrival
of the Windward, which left the
Thames on June 10, and Vardne on
June leu, to tuke supplies to the Jack
son expedition, and not lo bring them
back, as currently reported.
Jackson, in the dispatch tiled by the
captain of the Windward, said: "On
June 17, I met Dr. Nansen three miles
out on a floe, east of Cape Flora, and
under most extraordinary circum
stances. He bad wintered in a rougn
hut within a few miles of our north
ern limit in ItVJo. and this spring we
unwittingly came within a few miles
of his winter quarters
"Dr. Nansen left the Fram with one
companion. Lieutenant Sigurd hcott
Hansen, a lieutenant in the Norwegian
navy,and director in the astronomical,
meteorological and magnetic observa
tions, and reached latitude SO: 14,
traveling northeast from where he
left the Fram, which was in *4 North,

shortly, aa ahe stood the ice very well,
haa plenty of provisions on board and
there was no sickness among her crew
when I)r. Nansen left her on March
14, JMka.
Professor Mohn says that the scien
tific result of Dr. Nansen's observa
tions are magnificent, and that sev
eral islands have been discovered.
Dr. Nansen, in describing their life
during the winter of iS'JJ.hfl, said:
“When the bears’ flesh had been ex
hausted we were obliged to kill the
weakest dogs to feed the others, and
continued thus until the whole pack
bad been slaughtered.
“Myself and companions started in
the direction of Spitsbergen on May
10. After that we oceupied six weeks
on suowehoes, dragging sledges and
kayaks (the Arctic canoe) loaded on
sledges after us. We went partly
overlnnd and partly over sea ice.
"We reached Jackson’s winter quar
ters, where we found all in good
health We remained there about six
weeks, till the steamer Windward
arrived.” __

.he silver question caused the
Flew York house to resemble a
Chicago hotel duriug the conven

>f North Dakota, Congressmen Rich*
irdson and McMlllin of Tennessee,
)tey of Virginia and Sparkman of
Florida, General A. J. Warner and
ienator Stewart, leaders of the Nu
ional Silver Darty, and George Fred
Williams of Massachusetts were
imong the notables. The absence of
Hew York Democrats from the gath
iring was conspicuous.
The first meeting of the day was
hat of the committee on notification
o arrange the program for to-ulght.
rhe -cting organized by electing
Governor Stone of Mfsaonri as chair
nan. He read to the committee the
onsi ii win m imc pi \ aiuur*
iia. who hail been originally chosen
o deliver tlie speech of notification,
isking the Governor to officiate in hie
lead on account of his inability to
lome Kant for the occasion. The ac
ion of Senator White was ratified.
Then arose a discussion over the
[uestion whether each state was to
lave two representatives—one each
o notify the nominee for president
ind one for vice presidential nominee,
t appeared that there had been lack
if concert in the action of the various
tate delegations at the Chicago con
tention. some of them having ap
minted one representative and some
wo. ft was decided that ail who had
•ome to New York for the purpose
hould constitute one committee. The
oil call showed that the only states
lot represented were Maryland, Ore
gon. Washington, West Virginia and
Sew Mexico, but Senator Gorman, it
vas understood, was to serve as a
nember of the committee for his
late.
A spirited protest was made by Mr.
iennun of I’eunsyivania against the
reulmentof the notification commit
ee by the New Yorkers having the
nceting in charge. "This is our owu
neeling,” he said, "and yet we are
'Iven no consideration and have doled
nit to us only three tickets apiece,
some of us have come a long wav and
irought our friends here and noi we
ind that we cannot get them into the

o tlie garden; we can notify the can
lidntes here in this hotel, liy whose
utliority lias the management of ttis
.flair been taken from our hands.”
The protesting delegate was in
oriued by Governor Slone that this
ihase of the matter had already been
liscussed at yesterday's meeting of
lie national committee, but that it
v:ih too late to make any changes,
t he discussion became so warm that
hi- committee went into executive
,c i-.iiin and closed the doors.
The committee decided to meet at

by the United States, the reports ap
pear incredible, although affirmed In
the press.
