Tbe German Chancellor J Personal
Estate—How He Manage*.
As Prime Minister of Prussia Bismarck
has no salary, says Harper’s Maqazine,
but as Cbance'lor of tbe German Empire
he receives 54.000 marks i $13,500) per an
num. The remainder of his income is de
rived principally from landed property, of
which he possesses a considerable quan
tity. Owing, however, to the very low
prices of grain and timber, particularlv
ot late years, bis receipts from this source
are comparatively small. If Bismarck
were simply a nobleman, or even a Count,
ho might be considered wealthy, but for
a Prince he can onlv say he is moderately
well off. Down to 1867 his only landed
property was Sebonhausen in the Alt
mark, which contains about 2.800 acresof
generally excellent land. In 1867 he
added to this the manor of Varzin in Hin
ter Pomerania, which he purchased with
tbe grant of 400,000 thalers ($288,000)
voted to him by the Landtag. This es
tate, to which he subsequently added the
projierties of Chorovv and Sedlitz, covers
an area of about 3t,000 acres. It consists
for the most part, however, of poor land,
some of it being scarcely lit even to grow
firs. After the events of 1870
the Emperor, in his capacity
as Sovereign Duke of Lauen
burg, presented tbe Chancellor with
the Sachsen wald, lying in the Sehwarzen
beck district, not far from Hamburg, and
stretching down to the Elbe. It had pre
viously been Crown land, and comprises
an area of about twenty thousand acres,
covered for the most part with magnifi
cent beech forests. The Prince has re
cently added to this estate, on which
there was neither arable land nor a resi
dence of any sort, the small properties oi
Sehonau and Silt. These adjoin the west
ern boundary of Shahsenwald and were,
by the way, by no means an
advantageous purchase. Some of
the timber of the woods at Varziu is
sold to three local paper factories which
are worked by the River Wipper, and
that of the Schwarzcnbeck forests is dis
posed of to a large powder mill. Varzin
and the Sachsenwald, as well as Schon
hausen. have the advantage of being close
to a railway, and their products can lie
brought readily and cheap to market.
The residences on these three estates
are neither particularly large nor in
any way magnificently got up,
but they are comfortably fur
nished. And Friederichsruhe, which the
Prince has transformed from a lodging
house for summer visitors from Hamburg
into a sort of mansion house, is, with its
surrounding beech and fir trees and its
winding stream, a really exquisite spot.
The Sachsenwald, with'the two estates
which are now united with it, is probably
worth about 3,000,000 marks ($100,000),
but the income derived from it does not
much exceed 100,000 marks per annum.
Tlie Chancellor understands failing
and forest culture, and has achieved con
siderable success in the management of
his estate. At Sehonhausen he has plant
ed 600 acres, partly with oak, and thev
are turning out well. At Varzin he has
been occupied in replanting a large tract
ot land which was formerly a beech wood,
and which his predecessor, from a mis
taken idea as to the quality of the
soil, had cleared for cultivation. And
he has had fir trees planted on other
parts of the estate which previously were
waste or grew only sand-grass and
heather. The six estates which form bis
little kingdom in the Pomeranian hill
country, and which consist for the smaller
part of arable and pasture land, have
been rendered more productive by judi
cious management. A park has been laid
nut at Friedricbsruhe, and the stream
which flows through it has been banked
and cleared, and it is now in contempla
tion to cut down the oak wood on the right
bank of this stream and to plant trees
which will lie less prejudicially affected
by the dampness of the soil.

TREACHERY OF TIIE TURKS.
A dispatch from Assiout says that the
remainder of the Turkish battalion at that

battalion. The failure of the Mudir to
to take action to prevent the outbreak is
regarded as suspicious.
The Technical Commission of the con
ference on Egyptian affairs report
that their deliberations were harmonious.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from
Near and Afar.
A cable railroad has been laid in a Lisbon
street up an incline of one in four for a
distance of 560 feet. The cable is carried
underground, as in our cable street roads
of Francisco and ChicaguAThe in
clination is quite uniform, btw the road
makes an S curve. The road is worked
with water, counterbalancing the weight
of the car going up, but is arranged to be
worked by steam in case the supply of
water should he interrupted. In the first
trials of the road a hemp cable was used,
and, to test the automatic brakes used,
this cable was cut while ascending the
incline. The brakes stopped the car
within a distance of ten feet. This road
is the design of the Swiss engineer, Rig
genbach, who is well known as the de
signer of a mountain railroad in Switzer
land.

Science the Result of the Trip
w ASHIXGTON, July 17.—The following
telegram was received this morning from
Commander Schley:
St. John, N. F„ July 17, 9 a. m.
To If on. W. E. Chandler, Secretary of the
If aryl
The Thetis, Bear ami Loch Garry arrived
here to-day from West Greenland, with all
well on board. They separated from the
Alert 150 miles north during a gale. At 9
o'clock at night, on June 22, fire mi’es off Cape
Sabine, in Smith’s Sound, the Thetis and Hear
rescued alive Lieut. A. W. Greely, Sergeant
Brainard, Sergeant Fredericks, Sergeant
I>ong, Hospital Steward Beiderliack, Private
Connell and Sergeant Ellison, the only sur
vivors of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition.
Sergeant Ellison had lost both hands and ieet
by being frost bitten, and died July 6 at
Godhavn, three days after amputation,
which had become imperative. Seventeen of
the 25 persons comprising this expedition per
ished by starvation at the point where
the survivors were found. One was drowned
while sealing to procure food. Twelve bodies
of the dead were rescued and are now on
board the Thetis and Bear. One Esquimaux
named Turnervik was buried at Disco, in ac
cordance with the desire of tbe Inspector of
Western Greenland. Five bodies buried in
an ice fort near the camp were swept to sea
by the winds and currents before ray arrival,
and could not be rescued.
NAMES OF THE DEAD.
The names of the dead whose bodies were
recovered, with the date of death, are as fol
lows: Sergt. Cross, Jan. 1, 1884; IV. E. Der
ick. Esquimaux, April 5; Sergt. Linn, April
6; Lieut. Lockwood, April 9; Sergt. Jewel!,
April 12: Private Ellis, May 19; Sergt. Bal
ston. May 2i; Private Whistler, May 24;
Sergt.lserael,May 27; Lieut.Kislingbnry.J tine
1; Private Henry, June 6; Private Schneider.
June 18.
The names of the dead buried in the ice
fort, with the date of death, whose bodies
were not recovered, are as follows: Sergt.
Rice, April 9, 1884; Corporal Salem, June 3;
Private Bender, June 6; Acting Assistant
Surgeon Pavey, June 6; Sergt. Gardner,
June 12.
Drowned while breaking through newly
formed ice while sealing: J. Ens Edwards, an
Esquimaux, April 24.
I would urgently suggest that the bodies
now on board be placed in metallic cases here
for safer and better transportation in the sea
way. This appears to me imperative. Lieut.
Greely abandoned Fort Conger Aug. 9, 1883,
aud reached Baved Inlet Sept. 29 follow
ing, with his entire party well. He aban
doned all his boats and was adrft for thirty
days on the ice floe in Smith’s Sound.
BATTLING WITH STARVATION.
His permanent camp was established Oct.
21, 1883, at the point where he was found.
During nine mouths his party had to live
upon a scanty allowance of food brought from
lort Conger that had been cached at Payer
Harbor and Cape Isabella by Sir George
Nares in 1875. The food was found much
damaged by lapse of time. They also had
the scanty supply cached by Lieut. Beebe at
Cape Sabine in 1882, and a small amount saved
from the wreck of the Proteus in 1883,
and landed by Lieuts. Garlington and
Collwell on the beach where Lieut.
Greely’s party was found camped. When
these provisions were consumed the party was
forced to live upon boiled sealskin stripped
from their sealskin clothes. Lichens and
shrimps were procured in good weather when
they were strong enough to make tho exer
tion. As 1,300 shrimps were required to fill a
gallon measure, the labor was too exhausting
to depend upon them to sustain life entirely.
The channel between Cape Sabine aud Little
ton Island did not close, on account of violent
gales, all wintsr, so that 210 rations at the lat
ter point could not be reached.
GREELY’S RECORDS SAVED.
All Lieut. Greely’s records and all the in
struments brought by him from Fort Conger
are recovered, and are on board. From Hare
Island to Smith's Sound I had a constant
and furious struggle with ice in impassable
floes. Solid harriers of ice were overcome by
watchfulness and patience. No opportunity
to advance a mile escaped me, and for sev
eral hundred miles the ships were forced
to ram their prows, lead to lead,
through ice varying in thickness from
three to six feet. aDd when rafted much
greater. The Thetis and Bear reached Cape
York June 18 after a passage of twenty-one
days in Melville Bay with two advance ships
of the. Dundee whaling fleet, and continued to
Cape Sabine. Returning seven days later we
fell in with seven others of this fleet off
Westerholme Island, and announced Lieut.
Greely’s rescue to them that they might not
be delayed from their fishing grounds, nor be
tempted into the dangers of Smith’s Sound
in view of the reward of $25,009 offered by
Congress.
. WORDS OF PRAISE.
Returning across Melville Bay we fell in
with the Alert and Loch Garry off Devil’s
Thumb, struggling through heavy ice. Com
mander Coffin did admirably to get along so
far with the transport so early in the season
before an opening bad occurred. Lieut.
Emery, with the Bear, has supported me
throughout with great skillfulness and un
flinching readiness in accomplishing the great
duty of relieving Lieut. Greely. I would ask
instructions about the Loch Garry, as thfe
charter party held by her master differs
in several respects from mine. The
Greely party are very much improved
since their rescue, but were critically in the
extreme when found, and for several days
after. Forty-eight hours’ delay in reaching
them would have been fatal to all now living.
The season north is late, and the closest for
years. Smith's Sound was not open when I
left Cape Sabine. The winter about Melville
Bay was the most severe for 20 years. This
great result is entirely due to the unwearied
energy of yonrself and the Secretary of AVar
in fitting out this expedition for the work it
has had the honor to accomplish.
[Signed.] w. S. Schley,
Commander.
RECEIPT OF THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
The news of the rescue of
Lieut. Greely and several of his
party has created much excitement in
this city. The telegram from Commander
Schley was received by Rear Admiral
Nichols, Acting Secretary of the Navy,
who immediately communicated its con
tents to Lieut. Gen. Sheridan, Acting Sec
retary of War. They proceeded to the
White House and showed the telegram
to President Arthur, who has vakeu a
deep interest m the expedition and ex
pressed great concern at the sad death of
so many of the party. A copy of the tel

Chandler at West Point and to Secretary
Lincoln at New York. The families of
Lieut. Greely, Lieut. Commander Schley
and Lieut. Emery were also informed of
the rescue. Rear Admiral Nichols to-day
telegraphed to Commander Schley, at St.
John, as follows:

THE FARTHEST NORTH.
Following is a second dispatch received
from Lieut. Greely by Gen. Hazen to-day:
For the first time in three cent uries. Eng
land yields the honor of the farth est north.
Lieut. Lockwood and Sergeant Brainard on
May 13 reached Lockwood Island, in latitude
83 degrees and 24 minutes and longitude 44
degrees and 5 minutes. They saw from a 2,000
feet elevation no land north or northwest, but
to the northeast of Greenland Cape Robert
Lincoln, in latitude at degrees and 35
minutes and longitude :8 minutes.
Lieut. Lockwood was turned back in
1883 by open water on the North Greenland
shore, the party barely escaping drifting into
the Polar ocean. Dr. Pavy, in 1882, following
tlie Markham route, was adrift one day in the
Polar ocean north of Cape Joseph Henry and
escaped to land, abandoning nearly every
thing. In 18S2 I made a spring andJater a
summer trip into the interiorof Grinnell land,
discovering Lake Hazen. some t>o by 10 miles
in extent, which also fed by the ice Cape of
North Grinnell land drains, Ruggles river
anil Wriprecht Fjord into Conybeare Bay anti
Archer Fjord.
GRINNELL LAND’S CONTOUR.
From the summit of Mount Arthur. 300 feet
high, the contour of the land west of the Con
ger mountains, convinced me that Grinnell
Land tends directly 6oulli from Lieut. Ald
rich's furthest point made in 1576. in 1883
Lieut. Lockwood and Sergt. Brainard suc
ceeded in crossing Grinnell Land, and 90 miles
from Beaton Buy, the head or Archer's fjord,
struck the head of a fjord from the western
sea teinjiorarily named by Lieut. Lockwood
Greely fjord. From the centre of the fjord,
in latitude 80 degrees and 30 minutes,
and longitude 78 degrees and 30 minutes,
Lieut. Lockwood saw the northern shore
termination, some twenty miles west, ami the
southern shore, extending some fifty nides,
with Cape Lockwood seven miles distant, ap
parently separate land from Grinnell’s Land.
I have named the new land Arthur Land.
Lieut. T oekwood followed, going and return
ing, the ice camp averaging about
150 feet perpendicular face. It
follows that Grinnell Land’s in
terior is ice-capped, with a belt of country
some sixty miles wide between the northern
and southeast ice cap. In March, 1881, Ser
geant Long, w hile hunting, looked front the
northwest side of Mount Carey to Hayes’
Sound, seeing on the northern coast three
capos westward of the farthest seen by Capt.
Nares in 1876.
WESTWARD RUN OF THE SOUND.
Tlie .sound extends some twenty miles fur
ther xvest than that shown liv the English
chart, but is possibly shut in by land, which
showed up across the western end.
Two years’ station duties, observations, all
the explorations, and tlie retreat to Cape .Sa
bine were aeeomp islied without loss of life,
disease, serious accident, or even severe frost
bites. No seurvv was experienced at Conger,
ami but one death from it occurred last win
ter.
GEORGE KKNNAN’S CRITICISM.
George Kennan, of this city, who iffis
taken an active interest in the recent at
tempts to relieve Lieut. Greely’s party,
and who went before the Arctic Relief
Board la6t spring to urge the offering of
such a reward as would secure the co
operation of whalers in a search, was
asked by an Associated Press reporter
to-night what he thought of the news re
ceived from St. John. ~He replied:
“It is a story of remarkable aud heroic ac
chievement in a field clouded by disaster due
to incompetence in Washington.
“If Lieut. Greely and bis party had all re
turned in safqty to the United States, as they
might have done hail they lieen properly bui>-
oorted, their Arctic record, in point, of skill
ful management and success, would* have
been unparalleled. No other Arctic expedi
tion has ever spent two consecutire winters
and part of a third in such high latitude and
achieved such results without casualties or a
case of serious sickness.
HOW THE TRIUMPH WAS MARRED.
“If Lieut. Greely had found at the mouth of
Smith’s Sound the shelter and food which he
had a right to expect there, he would proba
bly have brought his entire party back to the
United States in perfect health' after three
winters in the highest northern latitudes that
have ever been reached, ami after a series of
sledging campaigns, which for boldness and
skillful execution have rarelv if ever been
surpassed.
“Could the disaster which befell his party
have been averted with tlie knowledge avail
able at the time the relief expeditions were
fitted out?”
“Unquestionably, and that is the pity
of it. It doubles the grief which
must be felt in the fact of such a terrible
catastrophe. To think that two ships on suc
cessive years, and probablv a third, were in a
position to land stores which would have
saved tbe lives of those eighteen dead men.
Lieut. Beebe, in 1882, anchored in Payer
harbor just north of Cape Sabine with a ship
ful of stores.
WHERE PROVISION? SHOULD HAVE BEEN
LANDED.
“Lieut. Garlingtou on the next summer an
chored in the same place with a shipful of
stores, and a few days later the Yantic, with
four months’ provisions on board, was only
thirty miles away. Any one of these three
ships might have landed stores enough ex
actly where Lieut. Greely afterward made
his winter camp to have carried that brave
party through, but their commanding officers
were not ordered to do so, and they did not
think of it.”
“Were Lieut. Greely’s movements those
that it was anticipated he would make?”
“They were precisely such as I antici
pated. It was thought at the Signal office
that he would remain at his statiou till
Sept. 1, but, as I pointed out in a letter
to the New York Herald on Sept. 27,
1*33, if he remained till September he
couldn’t get away that year on account of tiie
impracticability of sledging operations a’ong
that coast iu the fall. I thought that he would
abandon the station in July or August. 1883,
and come down to the mouth of Smith’s Sound
in boats, ss he was in fact doing at the very
time my letter was written.
A HITTER DISAPPOINTMENT.
“It was a terrible shock and disappointment
to him when he failed to find the
shelter and food which he expected,
but the party seems to have
faced the terrors of an Arctic winter without
shelter, fire or adequate food in the most
heroic way, and to have belli out to the last
with unflinching courage and tenacity. If a
few more hundred rations could have been
saved from the wreck of the Proteus they
would have carried the whole party through.
All but one of the dead perished last spring
after April 4.”
“If Lieut. Garlingtou had landed stores on
his way north at Littleton Island in accord
ance with what were known as his ‘supple
mentary instructions’ would such stores have
been of any use to Lieut. Greelv?”
“As it turned out, not the slightest. There
were a few hundred rations on Littleton
Island, but Lient. Greely could not get across
the tossing ice of Smith's Sound to avail him
self of them. The place to land stores, as re
peatedly pointed out by Dr. Hoadley anti
others, and as shown bv’the example of the
Nares expedition, was the western coast of
the sound coast that Lieut. Greely must come
down, not the opposite coast which he might
never reach.
TO WHAT THE SURVIVORS OWE THEIR
LIVES.
“It is to the caches made bv the British ex
pedition of 1875 on the western coast that the
few survivors of Lient. Greely’s partv main!v
owe their lives.”
“How important are the discoveries made
by Lieut. Greely?”
“From the point of view of an Arctic
geographer they are of first class importance,
but Lieut. Greely has not only taken away
from Commander Markham, of the British
navy, the blue ribbon of Arctic dis
covery for the highest latitude ever
attained in any part of the world,
hut he has greatly extended the limits
of Capt. Nares’explorations, both in Green
land and Grinneli Land, and has given a se
vere blow to Capt. Nares' palescrvstic ice and
the theories which the latter founded upon it.
The fact that the two Greely sledge parties
were stopped by open water in Polar Basin,
and that both were at times adrift in strong
currents which threatened to carry them
helplessly away northward, would seem to
show that the Polar Basin is not a solid sea of
ancient immovable ice, which Capt. Nares
describes, and which he declared was never
navigable.
RESULTS OF THE SUFFERING.
“Lient. Greely’s explorations extended over
3 degrees of latitude and nearly 40 degrees of
longitude. He has virtually ascertainid the
true outline of Grinneli Land, has crossed it
from east to west, and on the northern coast
of Greenland lias gene I degree of latitude and
10 degrees of longitude beyond the fartherest
point reached by Capt. Nares’ accomplished
sledge officer, Lieut. Beaumont.
“These achievements alone reflect the
highest credit upon Lient. Greely and
his men, but to them mast of course be
added the great mass of scientific knowledge
gathered by the party daring their two years
at Lady Franklin Bay, the records of which
have fortunately been saved. When these
observations shall have been collated and pul
in order they will, I think, be found not second
in importance to any furnished bv the circle
of the international polar stations.*’’
LIEUT. GREELEY’S STORY.
St. John, N. F., July 17.-.-On the ar
rival at the anchorage of the relief squad
ron to-day an Associated Press corre
snondent interviewed Lieut. Greelv, and
the other survivors of the Arctic colony.
The following facts were disclosed:
After passing two winters at Fort Conger in
; scientific research Lieut. Greely, with his
| whole party intact, broke up their encamp
ment, and commenced the southward de
scent. This was accomplished amid great
perils from gales and ice nips aDd other cas
ualties. Cape Sabine having been reached a
temporary house was erected, built of stones
and covered by boats and sails brought
along bv the party. On Sept. 29 winter quar
ters were established at Cape Sabine. The
coi.’missanat had become very meagre, and
the of provisions left by the Proteus last
year but pJO.rlv supplemented it* The steam
launch had become f® 4l the ice a few
weeks previous, and had tv iC abandoned.
During the whole winter the partv were con
strained to exist on quarter rations, and all
kinds of food had to be utilized. For six
weeks previous to the rescue regular provis
ions ceased to tie given out. Seaweed, shrimps,
sealskins, sassfras and even variety of
shrub were greedily devoured. '
Death made its first havoc in the ranks
early in January. One of the men dropped
off with scurvy.
MEETING HEROES’ DEATHS.
Dn the 9th of April Lieut. Lockwood and
Mr. llice, the photographer, succumbed, after
heroic attempt to secure for their starving
comrades about 200 pounds of meat supposed
to lie cached at a place named Bad creek,
distant abont fifteen miles from the encamp
ment. Mr. Israel, the aslrouomer, perished
on May 27. Lieut. Kislinbury died on June
1, and Dr. Pavy, tlie naturalist, stepped
into death June 6. Not one of
the victims realized that death
was near. They ail died a tranquil, painless
death. Two Esquimauxs also perished—one
of starvation. The other was drownedJhis
kayak being pierced by some newly formed
ice on April 17, thus cutting off all hope of
getting any supply of seal meat for the starv
ing explorers. The Esquimaux were most
faithful and devoted followers and helpers
of Lieut. Greely. Lieut. Ellison was rescued
and safely brought on board the steamship
Bear, where he died a few days subsequently.
His is an extraordinary instance of human
endurance. While some ten miles from his
hut last winter the temperature suddenly
fell to 48 degrees below zero.
ELLISON’S SUFFERING.
His hands and feet were frozen to tlie very
bone, and ho was dragged by his comrade in
an almost dying condition to his hut. His
hands and feet were literally amputated by
incisive frost, ami in tins terrible
state he lived through two dis
mal months that intervened between that
time and tbe rescue. The bodies of 12 of tlie
victims have been brought up by the steamers
Bear and Thetis, embalmed in tanks filled
with alcohol. The survivors are all doing
well and are rapidly gaining flesh and
strength. Lieut. Greely. who was in an
exceedingly critical condition when trans
ferred to the Thetis is now able to move
about. This morning lie drove out for an
hour’s ride to get tlie country air and came
hack quite improved. The rescue took place
on June 22 under circumstances of
great difficulty. The Thetis and Bear
lav off from the shore about 300 yards
There was a terrific gale blowing from the
southwest, a heavy sea was running and a
formidable ice nip was apparently inevitable.
Lieut. Greely and tlie oilier six survivors had
to be transferred from their camp to tlie
steau launch and whale boat in their sleep
ing bags.
DEATH ALMOST CERTAIN.
While steaming from land to the ships tlie
destruction of tlie whole party at one time
seemed certain. Thesca swept furiously over
them and the fury of the wind threatened at
every instant to capsize them. At
length they were safely placed on
hoard by the rescuing squad, where
every possible nrepara!ion had been made to
insure their recovery and comfort. It was
discovered during the past winter by Lieut.
Greely that Cape Sabine was part of an
island, not main land, us was thought bv pre
vious geographers. It is separated from the
mainland by a narrow creek, now called
Rice’s strait, in memory of tlie dead pho
tographer. Lieut. Greely informed the cor
respondent that a large body ol valuable
scientific work had been done during tlie
two seasons spent at Fort Conger by
himself and his lieutenants. About
2,500 miles of exploration had been effected
and many valuable observations—magnetic,
thermometric ami meteorologic—had been
made. The winter of 1881 was tlie severest
of the lliree. Tlie mean of the thermometer
'luring Kbruary was 48 degrees below zero.
THE FOOD SUPPLY.
Seals were observed as high up in latitude as
81 and 82 degrees. Several varieties of ducks
were observed, and a variety of other birds,
known and unknown to ornithologists. Over
100 mnsk-oxen were slaughtered'during the
two winters at Fort Conger. Their flesh
proved very valuable food, being palat
able, wholesome and nutritious. Tbe whole
official work of the expedition—plans,
sketches, photographic plates and scientific
sketches—have been saved and brought home
by Lieut. Greely. The Greely party
reached the highest latitude ever reached
liy polar explorers, namely, 85 degrees and
25 5-10 minutes. The coast of Greenlaud was
carried up to 83 degrees and 35 minutes. The
steamship Alert parted company with the
squadron yesterday off Tunk Islands, and has
not yet reached port.
A COURT OF INQUIRy’eXPECTED.
There is a general recognition of the
fact that sonic one is responsible for the
death of the members of the Grerly
expedition who died from cold and hun
ger, and a general expectation that a
court of inquiry will be ordered when the
Secretary of War returns, to place this
responsibility where it belongs.

CIRCUMPOLAR STATIONS.
Tlielr Inception and Design and Value
for tlie Purposes of Science.
Lieut. Karl Weyprcelit, commander of the
Austrian Arctic expedition on board the
Tcgettlioff. was the first European to suggest
the idea of establishing a number of eircum
polar stations for the purpose of scientific ob
servation and practical exploration. He
thought that, year by year, the stations might
be gradually advanced to the northward, and
tliatiu some favorable season a dash might be
made even to the Pole itself. Wevprecht, as
*m Arctic eitplorcr, dial CAocltcuk"work. lie
discovered Franz Josef Land, and his scien
tific attainments were undoubtedly of a high
order.
AMERICA TO THE FRONT.
While W’jMnrecht was busy in Europe urg
ing the >ni of liis plans with regard to
Capt; W. 11. Howgate,
of the United States navy, was urging” the
government to equip one or more expeditions
toward the North Pole, and to establish a
temporary colony for purposes of exploration
at some point north of the eighty-first degree
of north latitude, at or near the shore of Lady
Franklig Bay. Cant. Howgate sug
gested that the party sent out
should consist of at least fifty men,
and should be provided with provisions and
other necessary supplies for three vears, at
the end of which period they should be vis
ited and, if still unsuccessful iu accomplish
ing the object, reviclualed and again left to
their work. He advised that the party should
take out with it a strong, substantial build
ing, and had no doubt that the members of
the expedition could he made as comfortable
and as safe from atmospheric dangers as are
the men of the signal service stationed on the
summits of Pike’s Peak and Mount Washing
ton, or the employes of the Hudson Bay Com
pany stationed at Fort York, where a temper
ature of minus 60 degrees is not uncommon.
Capt. Howgate advised that the principalde
liot or post should be located upon Lady
’ranklin Bay, between latitude 81 degrees
and 82 degrees.
THE METEOROLOGICAL CONGRESS,
The project of Lieut. Wevprecht, hacked
up by Count IVilczek, was laid before the Me
teorological Congress at Rome. It was con
sidered favorably and referred to an Interna
tional Polar Conference held in Hamburg, in
October, 1879, France, Holland, Germany,
Austria. Russia, Sweden, Norway and Den
mark were the powers represented at this
congress. In March, 1881, Lieut. W eyprecht
died, and thus the commission lost one of its
most energetic supporters. Matters, as will
be seen, presented an unfavorable outlook,
and delays and difficulties seemed to crop up
continually. The Executive Csmmittee, by
vigorous action worthy of the highest
praise. prevented the matter from
dropping through, infused new life
into the project, and by personal interviews
and unwearying correspondence attained
their loeg-wislied-for object. The members
of this Executive Committee were Prof. Wild,
of St. Petersburg, who succeeded Dr. Neu
mayer as President; Capt. Hoffmeyer, of Co
penhagen, and Mr. Roht. H. Scott, the Eng
lish meteorologist. The United States Gov
ernment entered with spirit into the work
and pledged itself to establish two of the nec
eisary stations. Mr. L. O. Smith, a wealthy
merchant of Stockholm, contributed a hand
some amonnt toward the cost of a Swedish
station, and in May, 1881, Prof. Wild was en
abled to make the welcome announcement
that all of the eight stations were secured.
COMPLETING THE ARRANGEMENTS.
In •Inly, 1881, a third and final meeting was
held at St. Petersburg to comnlete the ar
rangements. It was decided that the obser
vations at all the circumpolar stations should
be begun as soon alter Aug. I, 1882, as possi
ble, and that they should oe continued until
September in the following year. It was an
nounced at this meeting that France, Eng
and and Germany would also take part in the
work. The stations were finally resolved
upon as follows: The United States in Ladv
franklin Uay, io Smith’s Sound and aiao at
Foint Barrow; Denmark at Godthaab;
Germany in Cumberland Sound, on the
west side of Davis Strait: England at
tort Rae. in the heart of the Hudson
Kay territory, near the Great slave Lake;
Russia at the mouth of the Lena and at Mul
ler s Bay, Nova Zernbla; Holland at Dickson's
Havn; Norway at Bosekop, in the Alien Fjord;
Sweden at Spitzbergen; Austria at Jan May
en Island, famous for its fog and ice The
Finnish Landdag equipped a meteorological
station at Sodankyla; a branch station was
also established in Labrador. France selected
a station near Cape Horn, and Germany also
Ventured into the Antarctic regions by "send
ing a party to one of the islands of South
Georgla.in 54 degrees south latitude, and about
1,180 miles east of Cape Horn.
GREELY STARTS.
Sailing of the Expedition from St.
John, N. F.
In pursuance of arrangement; mad* by Hi#
United States Government, the screw steam
ship Protdts, with the Greelv Arctic colony'
on board, departed from St. John, N. F., on
July 7,1881, bound to Lady F'ranklin Bay.
Five days after leaving the expedition en
countered vast bodies of tee, which necessi
tated the navigation of tlie ship from the
crow’s nest at the foretopgallantmast head.
Passing safely throuzh the pack no obstacle
was met with until the coast of Greenland,
desolate, dark and dreary, loomed tip ahead.
The harbor of Godhavn, “ith its calm sur
face thronged with the kyaksof the Esqui
maux, was readied, and the inhabitants flock
ed to tlie shore t*f obtain a closer view of
the vessel. At Godhavn fourteen dogs and
twos edges were taken on board, as well as
several tons of walrus flesh and dried fish to
feed them on. Several hundred pounds of
white whale skin, famous as an antiscorbutic,
were added to the stores. In its dried state it
resembles an inferior quality of glue, but
when cooked it is said to possess tbe flavor of
tripe. Sailing from Godhavn, the Brotcus
reached Upernavik on July 24, after having
stopped a day a Kittenbank, where Dr. Pavy
and Mr. Clay were taken on board as mem
bers of the expedition. Upernavik was left
behind on July 29. The Proteus was put at
full speed, with her head pouting to the
north. The white top of Sanderson's Point
faded fast from view and Melville Bay was
entered. Here tlie party expected to meet
witb a blockade of ice, but, although numer
ous bergs, some of them of immense size,
were encountered, there was no pack ice to
obstruct tlie ship in her onward path. On
August 1 Cape Dudley Digges was sight
ed, and then tlie Potoric glacier loomed in
sight. Soon afterward the Carey Islands were
made, and a party landed ou the southeast
ernmost of the group, where they examined
the cairn erected bv Captain Allen Young,
liis records were taken away, and Lieut.
Greely left in their place a record of liis own
voyage. A letter to sir George Nares was
found in the cairn. The cache of provisions
left bj' Captain Nares was also found, the
puncheon of rum being sampled aud pro
nounced excellent. The stores were iu fair
condition, though the biscuit was rather
mouldy. The boat which formed part of the
depot seemed also to be seaworthy.
ENTERING SMITH SOUND.
On the following day Cape Alexander, tlie
key to Smith Sound, was sighted. Passing tlie
Crystal Palace clifi's and glacier and thecrim
j/ou snow of Sir John Ross, Port Foulke, Dr.
Hayes’ headquarters was reached. The Pro
teus then anchored at Littleton Island, where
Capt. Allen Young, of tlie Pandora, deposited
his papers aud letters for tlie Nares party,
and where also the wrecked Polaris party
passed their seeond winter after Capt. Hall’s
death. Landing in Life Boat Cove a demol
ished cairn was discovered; also the debris of
the camp of the Polaris party. The Proteus
left Littleton Island the same night and next
day got as far as Cape Hanks and Washington
Irving Island, passing on the way the famous
Humboldt glacier, which is said to be the
largest iceberg “manufactory” in the world.
Cape Hanks, which lias been called not in
aptly the Gibraltar of the Arctic, was then
left behind. Tlie voyage up Smith Sound had
been so far most successful and encouraging.
The navigation of the channel since its dis
covery in 1616 was, until a comparatively re
cent date, considered impracticable on ac
count of tlie vast quantities of ice disgorged
through it. It remains frozen nearly all the
year, tlie ice breaking up and being carried
south for a short time oulj r . Kane and Haj’es
did much to make the geography of tlie strait
known. Capt. Hall, in liis daring voyage,
reached the highest latitude that up to his
lime had been made. The Nares expedition
of 1875 made the passage with great difficulty,
batttling with the ice continually and nearly
losing their ships. They were twenty-one
days in reaching Cape Frazer from Littleton
island, but tlie Proteus made the same dis
tance in sixteen hours. After stopping a
short time in Coal River Bay, where they
landed some stores to be used in ease of a re
treat, they resumed the voyage. Thej r passed
Cape Constitution, Kane’s highest point, and
there they met with the first obstruction. On
tlie Ith thej r steamed up to the solid main
pack, extending rigiit across the channel and
appearing to be at least twenty feet thick.
The Proteus had then reached the southwest
part of Lady Franklin Baj - and was within
ten miles *f her destination. For seven days
tlie vessel was moored to tlie ice, and Lieut.
Greely almost despaired of attaining his ob
ject. But the ice moved to tlie eastward and
the ship was forced at full speed until Discov
ery Harbor was reached, and there Lieut.
Greely determined to locate bis camp.

In .Tunc, 1882, Mr. W. M. Beebe took com
mand of a party which sailed from St. John,
N. F., on July 8,1882, to take supplies to Lieut.
Greely. His vessel was the Neptune. She
pushed north rapidly, and readied Littleton
Island July 29. She got no fnrther north than
that. It was evident that the object of the
expedition could not be achieved.
Mr. Beebe regarded it unwise to land stores
on Littleton Island while the natives remained
in the vicinity, and, judging that a landing
might be made on the northern end of the
island without their knowledge, the Neptune
stood across tlie channel, and at 1 o’clock in
the morning of tlie 31st landed and estab
lished a cache upon Cape Sabine, the north
ernmost land attained by the relief party.
The stores aud whaleboat were placed in’a
sheltered spot, woil secured and covered by a
tarpaulin.
The cache on Littleton Island was next es
tablished. As the natives still remained on
Cape Ohlecn the stores were landed in a cove
at the north end of the island, so well con
cealed as to be invisable from any point a few
yards’ distance and covered with a tarpaulin
securely anchored down with rocks.
Tlie voyage homeward was then resolved
upon. The ship’s prow was pointed to the
southward on Sept. 5 and reached St. John
on Sept. 24. Tim Neptune did not get within
100 miles of Lady Franklin Bay.
A SECOND FAILURE.
The Relief Ship “Proteus” Nipped and
Sunk in smith's Sound.
Lieut. E. A. Garllngtob, of the Seventh
cavalry, was selected by the government to
command the second party to go to the relief
of the Greely expedition. On June 29 last he
sailed from St. John, N. F., on the steamship
Proteus, the same vessel that carried Greely
and his men to Lady Franklin Bay. The
United States Steamship Yantic accompanied
the Proteus as a supply ship and base. God
havn harbor was entered on July 7, coal
buuKci s wcie filled, twe©for the Orfeeiy pariv
were taken on board, preparations were made
to form depots, and everything was got in or
der for the voyage. The Yantic arrived on
July 12.
On July 16 the Proteus sailed, leaving the
Yantic in port. For two days the strong ship
forced her way to the north through a thick
ice floe, on which were many pools of brack
ish water. On the third day the Protens was
stopped by an impenetrable ice pack; backing
her astern, the ship was moored to the floe. A
lead to the west was, however, discovered,
and on the 21st Southeast Carey Island was
reached, the cache of the Nares expedition
being plainly in sight on the southwest end of
the island.
Pushing on, Littleton Island was passed,
the coal pile being plainly visible and appar
ently undisturbed. With the strongest tele
scope on board no ice was visible to the north
ward from the crow’s nest. Payer Harbor
was entered the same afternoon and the cache
of the expedition of the previous year was
examined.
On the afternoon of July 23 the ship was
brought to a standstill, lying due east anil
west. The ice in front and along the track she
was following began to show signs of enor
mous pressure. A nip was imminent. The
Neptune had been beset in nearly the same
position the previous year; but had withstood
the strain, rising three feet, getting through
without damage. The pressure against the
sides of the Proteus increased, the heavy ice
(from sto 7 feet thick) broke and rafted up
on the floe amidships and astern. But
still there were no Bigns of giving wav.
Meanwhile Lieut. Garlineton’s men were
getting the stores on deck in readiness for an
emergency. All at once there was a loud
crash. The ice had forced its way through
the ship’s side into the starboard coal bunker.
The deck planks began to rise and the seams
to open out. All the stores on deck and those
near at hand in the hold were now thrown on
to the ice and two boats were also lowered on
to the floe.
The ship now began to settle. The cry was
raised,“ohe is sinking!” All hands left her.but
as she settled only a few inches there seemed
to be no immediate dange. Making a great
effort, the enlisted men, assisted by members
of the crew of the Proteu6, got the port whale
boat clear. The instruments and records were
got on the floe. At 7:15 in the evening the
ship sank. Cape Sabine bearing X. N. VV. \i
IV., distant six miles. The efforts of the party
were then directed to saving the stores anil
preparing lor the retreat, which all hands,
after many perils, succeeded eventually in
making good.
THE EXPEDITION WHICH RESCUED
LIEUT. GREELY
was composed of the Thetis, Bear and Alert
The Alert was a present from the British
Government. The expedition was under com
mand of Commander W. S. Schley, who had
charge of the Thetis. Lieutenant Commander
Emery commanded the Bear, and the Alert
was commanded by Capt. Coffin.

REPUBLICAN SOAP RATS.
PROMOTION THE AUGER NOW
USED IX TAPPING CLERKS.
Considerable Grease for the Campaign
Clogs Already Extracted Under the
New Method-Rumors that John Kelly
will He Down and Yield Up His
Political Influence.
Washington, July 17.—1 t has leaked
out that the Republican managers are
working anew plan for raising money.
They have arranged to make a large num
ber of promotions in the various depart
ments, over a thousand in all. Each
promotion increases the salary of a clerk
S2OO. The civil service rules do not con
tain any provisions relating to promotions
which are made usually upon the recom
mendations of the chiefs of bureaus and
beads of divisions. Information coming
from clerks in tlm departments is to tbe
effect that some of the Chiets o i bu
reaus and heads of divisions have
entered into a conspiracy with the Blaine
managers to raise a "largo amount of
money by promoting clerks who show a
willingness to subscribe liberally to the
campaign fund and to turn over to the
National Committee a considerable nart
of the S2OO coming from each promotion.
This scheme is the subject of much quiet
discussion among the clerks. Over eighty
promotions were yesterday made in the
Pension Office, and some of the lucky
clerks have been so indiscreet as to talk
about tho contribution which they
are expected to make to the
campaign fund. A personal friend
of Carl Schurz was yesterday
turned out of the Pension Office. Anbther
German, a friend of Schurz, who was
shrewd enough to announce his intention
to vote for Blaine and to contribute SSO
for campaign purposes,has received a S2OO
promotion.
REPUBLICAN GAS.
Edward McPherson, Secretary of the
Republican Congressional Committee, re
turned from New York to-dav. He is
fresh from a consultation with the Execu
tive Committee of the National Commit
tee. He hastens to put out interviews
iu which, oil behalf of the Blaine
managers, he proceeds to claim every
thing. instance he discourses
as follows: “The greatest de
moralization exists in New York
among the rank and file of the Democracy.
If the election were held to-day New York
would go Republican by 75,000 majority.
Congressman Hiscock told me that in
Western New York the Democrats are on
the run. We have no fears as to what
Massachusetts will do. We have very
reliable information that we will have no
trouble in carrying Connecticut. We are
going to send into the South some of the
most prominent Republican stump speak
ers.of the North. The tariff question will
be made one of the chief features of our
campaign- Air. McPherson says that the
campaign nWney circular just issued by
the National Committee will be sent to all
the government employes. It will bo
mailed to their houses, and not to the
buildings in which they are employed.
BLAINE GROWING NERVOUS.
Butler's Plans Worry Him—North Caro
lina and Indiana Surely Democratic.
Washington, Julv 17.—Private infor
mation received here from New York is to
the effect that Blaine and his managers
are growing nervous over Ben Butler’s
programme. They are afraid that he is
going to run as an Independent Green
back Labor Union candidate, and they
have become suddenly impressed with
the fact that if he should become such a
candidate be would probably injure Blaine
to a greater extent than he would inj'ure
Cleveland in the doubtful States. Con
gressman Scales, the Democratic candi
date for Governor of North Carolina, is
here. He says that Blaine has no
chance whatever of carrying that State.
He says that 15,000 majority for the Dem
ocratic ticket in North Carolina is a mod
est, conservative estimate. Senator Voor
hees, who reached here to-day from In
diana, says that the State is as sure to go
Democratic in November as is Kentucky.
He declares that the assertion that Mc-
Donald is indifferent to the success of the
Democratic Presidential ticket is utterly
untrue, and he says that McDonald will,
during the campaign, set an example of
party fidelity which all ought to follow.

A RAILROAD VICTIMIZED.
St. Paul, Minn., Julv 17.—D. E. Swan,

mit suicide by taking morphine. His
books were examined last night and the
amount of his deficit was found to be over
$5,000. He will be brought here to-day

their vessel in six dories on the morning
of July 8, on the Grand Banks, to take up
their travels. It was blowing strong and
the fog was dense. The crews got

hoping to reach their vessel, and then
headed for St. Pierre, a distance of 200
miles. During four days and nights they
were without food, water or rest, but

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
Philadelphia, July 17.—The Medical
Mews of next Saturday will say:
The progress of the cholera (luring the past
week has been such as to warrant the lielief
that it will spread throughout Europe during
the next thirty days and may reach our shores
at any time. Its progress can be arrested
only by most watchful care on the part oftmr
quarantine officers, for this disease has al
ways reached our shores bv ships—
scrupulous cleanliness on board ship,
isolation of all suspicious cases, absolute
destruction of garments of those infected,
and special care that the water supply is not
contaminated. Boiling it before use! if there
is any suspicion of its being impure would
add greatly to securing tho liculthfulness of
ships, while municipal cleanliness persistently
and systematically carried out would leave
no nidus for the disease to gain a foothold
even should it reach our shores."
