very few ere to be found north of Cape
fiablne. The vegetation at Lady Frank
lin Bay is about the same as at Cape Sa
bine, and comprises mosses, lichens, wU-
lows and saxefrage. Snow storms are of
courso most frequent and rain falls
very rare. The highest velocity
of wind was registered during
a terrific snow-storm—seventy miles per
hour. Lockwood’s trine to tbe north in
1882 and 1883 were productive of most val

Lockwood, from an elevation of 2,000 feet,
using his strongest gtsss on Hall’s baain
andltobeson channel, could discover noth
ing but icepacks. Here it was Dr. Hayes
claimed to have seen his open polar
sea. On the trip of 1882 Lock-
wood reached the highest latitude
ever attained—83 degrees 25 minutes
north. This was about 300 miles directly
north of Lady Franklin Bay; but to get
there he traveled over 1,000 miles, open
water and broken packs frequently caus
ing him to retrace bis steps 50 miles. Lock-
wood sounded the sea both years between
Cape Bryant and Cape Britannia, but
could not touch bottom with 135 fathoms
of line. Markham, a few years before,
about 100 miles to the west, got bottom at
neous observations of all physical pbenotu- 72 fathoms. Lockwood fouud at his fur-

Tbe party was conqioscd of three officers
of the army, one acting assistant surgeon
and nineteen enlisted men selected by
recommendation from the ranks of the

were put on the Proteus for the party. The
Proteus steamed away from St. John, N. F.,
July 7,1881, with the party on board. She
touched at Disco Island and Upernavlk
to procure sledges, dogs, skins and dog
food. Two Esquimaux were added to tire
party at Proven. A landing was made at
Carey Island in North Water, and provi

Auouita, Me., August 17 —The Kenne
bec Journal to-morrow will tty: Much
feeling baa been excited In this commu
nity by a crime of an extraordinary char
acter. In a well-known cemetery lot of
Btandford, Clay, an infant son of Mr. snd
Mre. Blaine. lie* buried. The
chUd died in July, 1854, and Its resting-
place la marked by a beautiful memorial
of marble, erected In 1855, on which the
datee of birth and death were plalnlv in
scribed ia raised Jettere. About two weeks
ago it was discovered that the date of tbe
cnBd'e birth had been carefully chiseled
away. It was quickly die.-overed and an
intimate friend of the Blaine family placed
a detective on the track of tbe perpetrator,
who bat not yet been discovered,
but it Is believed a cine has
been found to tbe fact that directly after
ibe mutilation of the memorial a person
whoso name i« known hod copies of tbe
alleged record sent to newspapers in vari-
one parte of the country antagonistic to
Blame. The motive for tills eel of vandal-
is ala scarcely apparent There Is great

Mrs. Parnell made the suggestion, as com
ing from her eon, that a proposition be
submitted to the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, the a^tptanc# of which by
either would decide for what party toe or.
anized Irish vote would ba cast. Mr*,
’arnell - rated that as these Irish goods
could not be made in this country their
importation svould not in any ten** con
flict with American borne industry, inas
much as the association in Ear’ '
poses to exclusively control tl .
tion. ParneU’»_proposition. therefore,
was that direct oSera b* submitted to the
political partita of th* United Bute*
as follows: If, in accordance with
tbe friendly feeling expressed towards
Ireland in America by Americans, one of
toe political parties wUl incorporate a
plank in IU platform In tavorkiif admitting
goods of Irish manuafacture fra* of duty,
specifying such goods as cannot be menu
factored elsewhere than in Ireland, the
Importation of which will not compete with
American prodnctlona, then such party
will receive the organized support of to*
Irish American vote. Even if a direct or
ganisation it not made, yet th* Irish vote
will be directly oc indirectly influenced in
favor of tit* party which aball champion
tha cause of Irub Industry indicated.
Mre. Parnell will leave here
(or New York to-day to take
preliminary steps towards toe organization
ol Irish interests, eo that in caw of action
by either of tbe leaning political parties to*
promise* contained in the proposition can
be fulfilled. Daring th* prognre '
codferenc* U was stated that th*
wby Alex. Sullivan so persistently refused
re-election to toe presidency of the Irish
National League was that be proposed tn
enter the canvass ln support of Blaine, and
did not wish to compromise the Iriab-
American vote by nreommg a public
speaker in support ot tbe Republican can
didate while holding office *• presidentof
toe Irish League.
Mrs Parnell explains that she ia not or
ganizing apolitical party. 8h* bas not
expressed the slightest preference for either
existing party. 6be believes, however,
that many articles produced in lrelam!
might be admitted free or almost free of
duty, as they ar* not competitive with
American or English goods, while as
models and tor popular ore they would be
eminently useful. Her only purpose la to
direct mention to thia industrial field,
whicb would be highly beneficial to both
Ireland and America. ,
