00. NANSENWAS LOST.
HIS CHRONOMETERS STOPPED AND
HE LOST HIS BEARINGS,
JACKSON RESCUED HIM.

Ice Nnni en's Story,
Vajidok, Norway, Aug. 10. Tho
captain of tho Windward, tho British
stoamor which has just returned from
Franz Josef land of tor taking supplies
to tho British North polo expedition
commanded by Jackson und known as
tho Jackson-Hat msworth expedition,
filed a telegraphic message here yos
terday describing tho accidental
mooting of Jackson and Dr. Nanson,
forming one of the most remarkable
incldontn in tho history of Aratle ex
ploration, for it appears that tho Nor
wegian ox plorer had been living In a
hutqulte closo to ono of tho English
explorer's stations for along time pre
vious to tho mooting of tho two men,
yet noither ono of them was awaro of
tho other's presence in that vicinity.
In this messrge, Jackson describes his
accidental meeting with Dr. Nanson
whllo tho latter was traversing tho
Ico pack, and It appears that It was a
lucky mcoting for the Norwegian ox-
filorer, as tho latter was misled, ow
ng to Inaccuracies on tho man drawn
by Payor, tho dlscovoror of Franz
Josof land, and also oocauso Dr. Nan
son's two chronometers and his watch
having stopped, ho was qulto unable
to establish his position and was con
sequently trying to march westward
to Spltzborgen over tho ico pack,
which was not only highly dangerous
but probably impossible.
Jackson, after mooting Nansen, con
ducted tho latter to Elmwood, tho
headquarters of the British expedition,
where tho Doctor awaited the arrival
of tho Windward, which loft the
Thames on Juno 10, and Vardoo on
Juno 28, to tako supplies to tho Jack
son expedition, and not to bring them
back, as currently reported.
Jackson, in the dispatch filed by the
eaptuin of tho Windward, said: "On
Juno 17, I mot Dr. Nanson three milos
out on a fioo, cast of Capo Flora, and
under most extraordinary circum
stances. Ho had wlntorod in a rough
hut within a few miles of our north
ern limit in 1895, and this spring we
unwittingly camo within a fow miles
of his winter quarters.
"Dr. Nansen left thoFram with one
companion, Lioutonant Slgard Scott
Hansen, a lieutouantln tho Norwegian
navy,and director In tho astronomical,
moteorological and magnotic observa
tions, and reachod latitude So: 14,
traveling northeast from where he
left the Fram, which was In 84 North,
102 East
It is believed here that the Fram
may turn up here or at Bergen
shortly, as she stood the ice very well,
has plonty of provisions on board and
there was no sickness among her crew
when Dr. Nansen loft her on Maroh
14, 1895.
Professor Mohn says that the scien
tific result of Dr. Nausen's observa
tions are magnificent, and that sev
eral islands have been discovered.
Dr. Nansen, in describing their life
during tho winter of 1895-00, said:
"When tho bears' flesh had been ex
hausted we were obliged to kill the
weakest dogs to feed tho others, and
continued thus until the whole pack
had been slaughtered.
"Myself and companions started in
the direction of Spltzborgen on May
10. Aftor that we occupied six weoks
on snowshocs, dragging sledges and
kayaks (the Arctic canoe) loaded on
sledges after us. Wo went partly
overland and parlly ovor sea ico,
"Wo reached Jackson's winter quar
ters, whoro wo found all in good
health. Wo remained there about six
weeks, till tho steamer Windward
arrived."

BRYAN IN NEW Y0BK.
QOTHAM FULL OF PROMINENT
DEMOCRATS.
Governor Stone of Mlnsoarl Chairman of
the Notification Committee Discussion
Over the Attitude of Some of the Ab
sent National Committeemen Much
Feeling Manifested.
Ready for the Notification.
New York, Aug. 13. Tho gathering
of Democratic politicians in tho cor
ridors of the Fifth Avcnuo hotel this
afternoon portended tho great ovent
to-night, tho notification of tho nomi
nees for president and vlco president
Tho predominance of Southern and
Western mon gathered in knots dis
cussing the political outlook and
tko silver question caused tho
New York house to resomblo a
Chicago hotel during tho conven
tion week. Ex-Governor Hogg of
Texas loomed up abovo his col
leagues conspicuously. Senator Till
roan of South Carolina, Senator Roach
of North Dakota, Congressmen Rich
ardson and McMUlln of Tennessoo,
Otey of Virginia and Sparkman of
Florida, General A. J. Warner and
Senator Stewart, leaders of tho Na
tional Silver party, and Goorgo Fred
Williams of Massachusetts woro
among tho notables. Tho absenco of
New York Democrats from tho gath
ering was conspicuous.
Tho first mooting of tho dav was
that of the commltteo on notification
to arrango tho program for to-night
Tho i ieting organized by electing
Governor Htono of Missouri as chair
man. Ho rend to tho commltteo tho
letter from Senator White of Califor
nia, who had been originally chosen
to doliver tho speech of notification,
asking tho Governor to officiate in his
Btead on account of his inability to
come East for tho occasion. Tho ac
tion of Senator White was ratified.
Then arose a discussion over tho
question whether each stato was to
havo two ropioientatlvos one oach
to notify tho nominco for prosident
and ono for vico presidential nominee.
It appoared that thero had been lack
of concert In tho action of the various
Btate delegations at tho Chicago con
vention, some of them having ap
pointed ono representative and some
two. It was decided that all who had
come to New York for the purposo
Bhould constitute one committee. Tho
roll call showed that tho only states
not represented wero Maryland, Ore
gon, Washington, West Virginia and
New Mexico, but Senator Gorman, it
was understood, was to servo as a
member of tho committee for his
Btate.
A spirited protest was mado by Mr.
German of Pennsylvania against the
treatment of tho notiflcation'coramlt
tco by the New Yorkers having the
meeting in charge. "This is our own
meeting," he said, "and yet wo aro
given no consideration and havo doled
out to us only three tickets apiece.
Some of us havo come a long way and
brought our friends here and now we
find that wo cannot got them into the
hall. Wo are not obliged to go over
to the garden; wo can notify the can
didates hero in this hotel. By whoso
authority has the management of tbis
affair been taken from our hands."
The protesting delegato was in
formed by Governor Stono that this
phase of tho mattor had already been
discussed at yesterday's meeting of
tbe national committee, but that It
was too late to mnkn iinv pVinnrrpo
The discussion became so "warm that
tho committee went Into executive
session and closed tho doors.
The committee decided to meet at
the Fifth Avenue hotel to-night and
march In a body to Madison Square
garden, and then adjourned.
