Yardoe, Norway, Aug. 17.— The captain of the Windward, the British steamer which has just returned from Eruuz Josef Laud after taking supplies to the British north pole expedition commanded by Jackson known us the Jackson-Harmsworth expedition, filed a telegraphic message here yesterday describing the accidental meeting be tween Jackson and Dr. Nansen, one of the most remarkable incidents in the history of Arctic exploration: "Un June 17 1 met Dr. Nansen three m iles ont on a flue S. b. E. of Cape Flora, and under most extraordinary circumstances. He had wintered in a rough hut w ithin a m ile or two of our ujrtheru lim it in lh95. and this spring we unw ittingly came w ithin a few m iles of his winter quarters. Dr. Nansen left the Fram w»tb one companion. Lieutenant bigard Scott Hansen, a lieutenant in the Norwegian navy, and director of the astronomical, meteorological and magnetic observa tions, and reached the latitude *'6:14. traveling northeast from where he left the Fram, which was in 84 north, 109 east. "Dr. Nansen expressed the greatest surprise au<l the liveliest satisfaction at meeting w ith us. "Yon understand how greatly the meeting affected me. and my pleasure at the extraordinary chance which bad thrown it in my way to render him service and restore him to his friends. " Jackson then descubes his own ex perience in exploring the western parts of Franz Josef Land, telling how he has drawn extensive, accurate maps, and ha» dicovered new regions, and add ing: "W hen the Windward left, in 1*1*5. we went on a month's expedition t the northwest in a little boat, the Mary Harmsworth. and discovere«! a large tract of land to the westward, of hither to unknown lim it, and a magnificent headlaud composed of ice from its sum m it to its foot, and having at its base a huge, unapproachable rampart of ice. We named it Harmsworth cape, and only approached the base of the headland with the greatest difficulty, ow ing to surging masses of heavy ice and fun« us gale«, during which our boat was. upon several occasions, near ly smashed to atoms. We landed on the coast as often as p «asible. and as cended the peaks and made numerous geological and botanical collections. Far up Cambridge bay we diac- vered another lofty ice headland, and named it Cape Firth of Nansen. "The spring has been phen m entlly mild. Although we marched north a great distance, using sixteen dog^ and a poDV. we met, after a fortnight, open water reaching from the face of a huge glacier east to the precipitous end of another large glacier west. Advance by aleds was thus cut off. We then struck southwest down Markham •cund, and added greatly to our d is coveries of 1895. But we were again stopped by open water reaching entire ly across the sound, so we turned w est ward and succeeded in exploring the entire western shore«. "During April terrific snow storms, coupled with rise« in temperature, en tirely broke the ice and prevented marching, but we took a number of valuable photographs Professor Mohn says that the scientific results of Nan sen’s observations are magnificent, and numerous islands have been di«c«.>v- •red ."

The in formation comes from a Mexican paper, and was sent to the state department by Minister Kanaom. It states that in one of the Central American states a company has been organized by Ameri cans who have purchased the silver dollars of the state worth 4 7 cent«, and coined them into American dollars. It is said that 2,500,000 of these dollars have been shipped into this country, where they have passed at par. The ■torv is discredited at the treasury de partment, and it is said it would be impossible to ship any considerable number of coins into this country w ith out the counterfeit being discovered.

M ln itr a o t* T r n iu SALMON SPACE. San Francisco, Aug. 17. — Dr. C. A. brnith la more enthusiastic than ever over his flying machine since he re ceived a telegram Wednesday from Washington informing him that a patent had been granted on ms device for sailing through the air. A com pany was incorporated in this city last baturday to build Sm ith's airship, navigating air vessels and carrying on a general business in them. I. J. Tru man, president of the Columbian bank, and George T. Garden are among the stockholders. The attorney for the company is M. M. Estee. These w ell known men declare that Smith's machine appears feasible as a mechanical prop«jsition, and that it is really a most ingenious solution of the difficult prob’eius that have faced the scientific aeronaut. Smith him self claim s it w ill lift itself and additional weight, and more than that, he can so octroi its flight as to practically Im i tate a bird on the wing. This means that the airship can be lifted from the earth and depressed at the w ill of the engineer, who may also steer his vessel hither and thither, describe circles re gardless of the wind, and perform evo lutions like a ship at sea. It is still further claimed for this wonderful invention that it can be driven into the very teeth of the storm. Indeed, if all that is claimed for it proves true, the long talked-of airship w ill soon be an accomplished fact. The company intends to open a work shop at once and begin the construc tion of Dr. Sm ith's first airship. And in the course of a few months, the ex pectation of seeing the machine arise and float aloft w ill be very strong.

The canntrymen made out far better than they expected, owing to the strike, and are especially congi at ela t ing tbemselves upon the extraordinary fine quality of fish which has made up the great bulk of the catch. If the outlook for marketing the pack was only better, there would be no regrets associated with the past season. Unfortunately, the unsettled financial condition has affected the buyers, and George Taylor, of Taylor, \ oung ft Co., stated that Eastern pur chasers who formerly placed orders tor 1,000 cases are new contenting them selves w ith 60 and 100 cases. A t a consequence, the pack w ill move rather slowly. The great bulk w ill go East, though a considerable portion w ill go abroad. The British ship Sutherlandshire, in port at Portland, is loading salmon for England, and a good proportion of the pack it being forwarded to ban Fran cisco to be shipped from that poiv At the rulm g market price«, the pack, when «old, w ill bring, in round figures, <2,700,000 into this section. Pnoe«, however, are not as good as th«j«e obtained last season The tend ency of the cannerymen thia year has been toward fancy packing, and, in the opinion of some, this has been rather overdone, and w ill certainly affect the pnees of Hsu and oval* The strike was somewhat of a benefit early in the season to the packers at Eagle Cliff and vicinity. Through the inactivity at llwaoo and Astoria they secured more than their usual propor tion of fish. That the strike was not a success w hile it lasted is evidenced by the fact that in the neighborhood of 150.000 cases were packed up to June 20, when the strikers began fishing. Among the canneries that packed dur ing the strike were the Eureka and Epicure Packing Companies. Hapgood, J- W. Cook ft Co-. Seaborg's cannery at Ilwaco. W illiam Hume at Eagle Cliff, and McGowan at Chinook. There was no fishing on the upper river until after the strike, when F. M Warren and M cliewan made large packs, very considerably more than last year Around The Dalles, though, the catch was not as good as had been expected, and the pack was only m e dium. The seaK>n has been an extraordinary one m many respect* Very few, if any, bluebacks and steelheads were caught, the salmon being all chinooka, and far finer and fatter fish, on the average than have been taken in the river in years, and as the run was very large and steady, increasing so the last week of the season that the river was full of fish, the cannery.nen were for tunately able to make up the anticipat ed shortage. The catcu proved the truth of the saymg among the Colum bia river fishermen that more than half of the pack is to come after July 1. In fact, the fish were so plentiful the last few days of the season that the packers cat the price down to 3 1» cents per pound, thereby precipitating a small strike. N otw ithstanding its superiority, the Columbia river fish w ill encounter con siderable opposition from the Alaska and British Columbia salmon The Alaska fish is much inferior iu quality, but, on account of its low price, it finds a good sale. The British Columbia fish is also affecting the market for Co lumbia river salmon in England, as it is giM>d in quality and packed by the m ist approved appliances, w hile it is sold at a lower figure.
