Lieutenant Koenig, leader of the Austrian Antarctic expedition, denies that there is any rivalry between himself and Sir E. Shackleton over the landing in Prince Luitpoldland. He is undertaking three sledge journeys, and it is possible that his base of operations will be only a day's sledge journey from Shackleton's. The parties may meet somewhere in the vicinity of the thirteenth meridian en route to the Pole. A sensation has been caused in Europe by the publication of a life of the Austrian Emperor by Ernest Gribble, the English critic and novelist. It contains a vivid description of the Empire, showing that it has been continually threatened by dissolution while under the control of a historic family continually displaying all the symptoms of decadence, extraordinary ecoentricites, and romantic and scandalous tragedies.
