A START FOR THE POLE. Walter W ellen ad Party Off for Spitzbergen, A UNIQUE AROTI0 ENTERPRISE. What the Young Explorers Hope to Ao oomplisah-—~Novel Features of the Expe- dition-~The Frozen North's Fascinating Mystory May Soon Be Solved. NEW York, March 14.—Mr, Walter Well- man, the weil known journalist, sailed on the steamer Britannic today en route for Bpitzbergen, from which point his expedi tion will make a summer dash for the porth pole. Mr. Wellman was accom panied by three other Americans Pro- fessor Owen B. French, late of the United States coast and geodetic survey and an experienced and capable scientist; Dr, Thomas B. Mohun, a successful Washing ton physician, and Charles C. Dodge, the artist and photographer of the expedition. The euterprise is under the leadership of Mr. Wellman, and the three men named are his lieutenants, Ten hardy young Norwegians, ambitious and experienced in arctic exploration, will join the party in Norway, and the expedi- tion will sail from Tromsoe, Norway, for the islands of Spitzbergen about the 1st of May. At Dane's island, which is very near the eightieth parallel—that point of lati- tude so {ar north that many explorers have never react —headq then the party the great ice | north. After steamer will about the pol That marvel has the 10th or 15 ill begin 1s new metal alu zed in the construction other been u and with gledges, boats apparatus, thus equipped far lighter parapher nalia than any previous explorer Mr. Well man expects to be able to push on north at the rate of from ten to twenty miles per day. As he will have only about 600 miles to travel before the pole is reached, he ex pects to either reach the goal or a point very near it in fifty days. He will then return to the edge of the pack in fifty days more, his steamer will pick him up and he will then return home. Mr. Wellman has carefully studied the great problems before him, and expects to profit by the knowledge gained by previ- ous explorers who have traversed the pack and to avoid their mistakes. His early start is for the purpose of getting far north before the pack begins its drift toward the south. Away back in 1597 Sir Edward Parry pushed on northward over the pack at the rate of from sixteen to twenty miles per day, but his heavy equipage compelled him to break his loads into parts and pass from five to seven times over the same road Other explorers, handicapped with old time sledges and boats, have been com- pelled to progress in the same slow man- var, but Mr. Wellman believes that with his light aluminium outfit retracing his steps will be unnecessary, and that every mile traveled will take him a mile farther toward the pole. At the start the drift of the ice pack will not be against him, and when he returns later in the season it will assist him in his homeward journey Mr. Wellman carries with him his alu mininm boats and sledges—the first ever built in America—and tests have demon strated that they are by far the lightest and at the same time the very stron gest boats and sledges of their size that the world has ever seen. The entire equip ment of the party of fourteen will be about 5,500 pounds, and as forty hardy draft dogs will assist in carrying it, the average weight per man and dog will be about 100 pounds One scheme of expl A DEWEPADET exe man's plans are carrie be apprised of his pr { ured pole, a thing that has never before done in the case of any previous pe pedition. Members of his party will be sent back from time to time to the edge of the ice pack with letters describing the progress of the expedition and the discov eries made by At of the ice pack the on board Mr will return to Norway, will receive the news Whether Mr. Wellman's dash for the pole will be successful or not remains to be seen, but if his novel plan is even partly novel feature ration i Oe lar ex the explorers the edo dispatches will be tak } Wellman steamer, whic whe ¢ the world carried out he will succeed in reaching a | degree of latitude farther north than that reached by any previous explorer. With Wellman, Peary, Nansen and possibly Jackson In quest of the pole this year, it seems highly probable that (SM will mark the solution of the frozen north's fascinat ing mystery. Important to Veterans, Wasnizaron, March 14-The house committee on invalid pensions ordered a favorable report on the bill of Representa- tive Martin, doing away with the require ment of honorable discharge as prelimi nary to a pension. In many cases death has occurred during a furlough or outside of military duties. The bill makes the death of a soldier equivalent to an honor. able discharge, except when the death oo curs during desertion. Murderer ¥Fales Unconcerned. NEWARK, N.
