jC: 4 OGLOd EDITION THDBSDAY EVENING. JULY IT. 1884. RESURRECTED. The Old Stalwart Gang in Control of the State Committee.

he Little Political Game that is Now Being Played "Warren's Half Hearted Help of Blaine The Tutted States Senator ship the Objectire Point of His GeneralshipIs it Conkling's Opportunity The little parlor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, How York, that fronts on Twenty fourth street, la re Mrved at present for the use of the RepabUcs.ii State Committee. It Is trim and sung looking, and its occu pote can, without any difficulty, hoar tho Bouud of Welry that comes from the bar. Indeed, the proximity of the place whero good liquor is dispensed Is thought to hnvo largely influenced tho committee In its selection. This moraine's session of the State Executive Committee was held there, Andrew 8. Draper being a notable figure in the gathering He Is known to be one of the most virulent Stalwarts iiK.ni.

rVtnnttf niifl thn nronilnent foe and hated rival of esuperintendent John F. Smyth. The latter hid long controlled tho Federal patronage of the soc tlon where both reside, until in an unguarded moment ke laid himself open to an attack from Draper, who 'ousted from his dictatorship, bag and baggage. The vantage ground was then occupied by Draper and a long and bitter war ensued. The Albanians are.

re ported to have wished that tho war of extermination Would last until the bitter end, as they say that the difference betewen the men is the same as that existing between tweedledum and tweedledee. James D. Warren, the Stalwart editor of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, to whom the destinies of the candidates In this State have been intrusted, made another of the group in the little parlor. John J. O'Brien, supremely indifferent to the slings and arrows of the Independent proas, with hiB black eyes snapping1 and his handsome white bat jauntily perched on the back of his head, talked long and earnestly witn the Buffalo editor, whilo deputy sub.

assistant Boss Blslin held animated conversation with Collector Bob srteon, who had just come down from Eatonah to look after the remnants of the Blaine boom. When tho routine business that had called the statesmen together liad been disposed of a number of them Btill lingered Within the precincts of the hotel, and from tho disjointed conversation and whispered Innuendoes one might Infer that notwithstanding all the exlerior harmony that graoes the Republican fold, yet the defeat of Chester 8. Cole for the chairmanship of the State Committee has left its poison behind. Cole's defoat was snade more emphatic by the triumph of the Old Stalwarts from Warren to Esgleson. That tho defeat of the Half Breeds was brought about by the machinations of Warner Miller seems generally coueoded, although it Is difficult to discover his object in thus retaining his old enemies in control of tho State machinery.

Ex Senator Piatt, with all his alleged acquaintance with wire pulling and the Bubtletios of politics, is thought to have recognixed the day, after the committees meeting, as an exceedingly cold one. It will bo remembered that in sn interview with an Eaole reporter some days since he said that there was one Subject weighing on his mind that he wishod to have known. Ha kept tho dreaded secret to himself, how aver, and it is fair to presume that it had reference to the complete collapse of Colo's canvass for tho chairmanship and the further developments that aro now leading up to tho consummation of a gigsntio political deal. It is now freely eharged that Chairman Warren and tho majority of the Executive Committee wiU not raise a hand to help Blaine In this State, but will concentrate their energies to make the Legislature Republican, thut giving the vacant seat of Senator Lapham to one of thoir friends. The Buffalo Exprete sounded the note of alarm a day or two ago, and the watchful aentries of the Blaine column have been on the alert for further predatory excursions into their torrltory Bince.

The Buffalo newspaper that Warreu controls declared a week before the Republican Convention that Blaine could not be elected, and he has not since changed his faith in that belief. The wish was hero the father of the pro pbeoy, aa those who know the editor of the Commercial will vouch for. From the composition of the State Committee, one would infer that Blaine had given up all hope of carrying the State, and with this before his eyes has entrusted the campaign in New York to tho Stalwarts tbat he intent afterward discredit and disown them. The other alternative is that the Blaine men were fairly beaten by Warren and the Conkllngltes in the convention and that tho latter are now engaged in making terms with the Plumed Knights managers. If the proper covonant, duly signed, sealed end delivedrd, bo given this explanation will hold Tf Rintnn m.hes the While House by the grace of Warren and the Stalwarts the conditions will be such that tho wail of the Half Breeds will reach from Montauk Point to Lake Erie.

These diverse Tiews of the political condition of tho Republican party to this stato are supplemented oy toe iouuwiuk, wmuu the writer had from a prominent Half Breed politician In New York to day The objeotive point of Warren and his gang," ho aid, is the sist of Senator Lapham, whose term will expire on the fourth of March next. There aro two men whom the old guard will support for that position, Conkling or Arthur. It la a question whether the former would accopt, and arrangements are now being msila to nonnd the President on the probable chance of hiB taking the position. Thero would be, of course, a curtailment of dignity, out ne nas not iorgouon tuas President AdamB, when his term was out, Allied a seat In tho Houso of Rcuresentatives very acceptably. The gang, however, do not want him, and the one man whose measure mis tueir eyea ana wuobo iiiwuto cheers their tows is Consung.

New A The the and by was and of tho tho to It is exceedingly gratifying to learn that seven out of the twenty four are alive. A deep shadow of re gret naturally falls over the otherwise cheering announcement when we reflect that seventeen nobis follows have periBhed. I have received no official telegram, and have heard through your paper only that Bear and Thetis had arrived at St. Johns with the survivors of the expedition.

I am much gratified that of our officers have succeeded In reaching the and setting oar minds at rest. I can readily understand how this news will start whole country, and even the countries of Europe. exploration la a subject of great Interest to the men of all countries, and the popnlaee of countries are always deeply Interested in Is undertaken In that direction. Our people easily roused over a thing of this kind, tho Interest will last until something else comes to distract their attention. The people must be fed with and such news aa this Is healthy food.

It stirs the better and more manly feelings of onr nature creates confidence and sympathy. Oar men have eucceeded in getting what they went for, and they deserve our gratitude. Tho friends of the poor fellows will never return will have the heartfelt sympathy the navy, depend upon that, and, I need not add, of whole country." Medical Inspector Spear said: "I can't tail how gratified and delighted I am at the news, I know nearly aU the men In the expedition, and they are a fine of fellows. I think it is a great credit to the service that an expedition Bhould have Bet out so promptly and succeeded in so short a time, comparatively, in finding the missing men. It shows efficiency and enemy.

I suppose there will bo a and sad story when all the facts are told. I should be surprised if they found the party at Upernavik on an Ice floe." At thie juncture Commodore Fillebrown entered the inspector's office, and the two gentlemeu pointed out a map the probablo course of the expedition in the search of Greely. The Commodore is well acquainted Arctic navigation, having been on board the Vin cennos many years ago, when alio advanced as far aa Wrangel land. Captain Kane, of the Orduanco Department, wae found on board ship, in pursuit of his duties. He said I am delighted at tho news.

I only just heard it, and were speaking of it as you came up. It will Bend a thrill all through the country. I suppose tbat there be some sad details and many will have to mourn the lost but under all tho circumstances the re Is hlchly satisfactory. Wo await fnrthor news with Interest." Civil Engineer Prindle said "Wo aro all very glad to hoar of tho discovery of Greely. We hardly expected that we Bhould so soon be satisfied as to the fata of him the expedition.

It Is very cheering indeed, though, course, it ha3 a very aad and melancholy side to it." History ot tbe Expedition, The expedition for tho relief of the Greely party started from the Brooklyn Navy Yard In the last week April. It was composed of the Thelis, the Alert (presented for tho purpose by tho British government) and the Bear. Every preparation had been made for a long cruiso, and tho vessels were each provisioned for three years. Captain Norman, who left the Greely party in the Arctic regions, was ice pilot of the flagship, Thetis. It was not thought likely that tho party would bo encountered south of Littleton Island, In Smith Sound, the northern extension of Baffin's Bay.

This is near the Winter quarters of Dr. Hayes In 1860 At this point the Porteus, tho relief ship which went down last July, was expected to leave stores. The Thetis was, until purchased by the Government, Dundee steam whaler, Sho Is of great strength and excellent sea boat. The detail of officers for the Thetis was as oBowb Commander W. S.

Mr. Melville, it will bo the ohief engineer the Jcannette. The Bear was a steam sealer hailing from Dundee, whore Bhe was built some nine years ago. She is of 618 tonB burden, heavily timbered and strongly bolted, Tho detail for tho Bear was sb follows Lieutenant W. Emory, commander Lieutenant J.

H. Crosby, ex ecutive Lieuteuant John R. Colwoll, navigator Lien tenant N. R. Usher, Ensign L.

K. Reynolds. Passed Assistant Burgeon II. E. Ames and Chief Engineer John Lowe.

The Alert, the gift of the British Government, may fairly clashed as one of the stronest vessels sfliat, and was admirably suited for the arduous task on which she has been employed. Sho was commanded by Cap tain Coffin. The Greely party was one of the two expeditions sent out by the United States to form international polar stations. It consisted of twenty four officers and mon chosen from different branches of the army.and was commanded by Lieutonant A.W.Grco ly, of the Fifth Cavalry, acting signal officer. With him were Second Lieutenant Frederick F.

Bishingbury, Eleventh Infantry, and James B. Lockwood, Twenty. third Infantry, acting Blgna 1 officers, and Dr. Octavo Pavy, surgeon. Two Esquimaux were also obtained Greenlnnd.

Lieutenant Greely sailed from St. Johns, N. in the Proteus July 7, 1831, and touched next Godhavn, Greenland, on Disco Islaud, where four teen dogs aud two sledges were taken on board, as well several tons of walrus flesh and dried fish to feed them on. Several hundred pounds of white whalo skin, famous as an antiscorbutic, were added to the Btores, Sailing from Godhavn, the Proteus reached Upernavik on tho 24th of July, aud left thero July 29, going north at full speed. Baffin's Bay, Smith's Sound and Kenne dy Channel were found remarkably free from obstruc tions.

The season waB very exceptional. Thero the Proteus In 1881 found open water the Neptune in 1882 and tho Proteus in 1883 were driven back by immeasurable and Impenetrable fields of ice. The Nores expedition of 1875 made the passogo with great difficulty, battling with the ice continually and nearly losing their Bhips. They were twenty one days In reaching Cape Fraxer from Littleton Island, but tho Proteus made the same distance in sixteen hours. The explorers passed Cape Constitution, Kane'B highest point, aud there they met with the first obstruction.

On tho 4th they steamed up to the solid mam pack, ox tending right across the chauuel and appearing to be at least twenty feet thick. Tho Proteus had then reached the southwest part of Lady Franklin Bay, and was withlu teu miles of her destination. For seven days the vessel was moored to the ico, and Lieutonant Greely almost despaired of attaining his object. But the ice moved to the eastward and the ship was forced at full speed until Discovery Harbor was reached, aud there Lieutenant Greoloy established his settlement, calling it Port Conger, in honor of Senator Conger, of Michigan, who had boon instrnmontal In passing tho bill through Congress which authorized the expedition. Tho Protons left the party on August 18, and arrived safely at St.

Johns after a pleasant voyage. OBJECTS OF THE EXPEDITION. The company at Port Conger was well equipped for its exile. Stores of provisions sufficient to last for fully two years wore at hand. The house erected had double frames and measured 61 feet by 21 feet.

In addition to stores and supplies about 140 tons of ooal were lauded. It was not doubted that the members of tho expeditiou oould ba made as comfortable and as safe from atmospheric dangers as are the men of tho signal service stationed on tbe summits of Pike's Peak aud Mount Washington, or tho employes of the Hudson Bay Company stationed at Fort York, where a temperature of mlnuB 00 degrees Is not uncommon. Scientific work began at once. The formal observa tions of the international series, however, did not com. menco until August 1, 1882.

They then oontlnued for one year. It has been for some timo admitted that th" laws which govern the winds and the great currents of the Bca will never be thoroughly understood until the physical conditions of tho polar basin and tho move. mcnts of the crcat ice masses aro known therefore the importance of sciontftc exploration in the regions. There aro also many problems of magnetism and elec tricity which might have a most interesting solution if experiments to that end wore conducted in tho far North. Lieuteuant Karl Weyprecbt, an Austrian Arc tic explorer, accordingly BUggestod the idea of establish ing a number of circumpolar stations for the purpose of scientific observation and practical exploration.

He thought that, year after year, tho stations might be gradually advanced to the northward, and that in somo favorable season a dash might be made even to the polo itself. His views had great weight, nnd he advanced such arguments in support of his Idea that he soon had a number of enthusiastic followers. Tho project was laid before tho Meteorollglcal Congress at Rome, and by it referred to an International Polar Conference, held iu Hamburg, in 1879. A permanent polar commis sion was then formed, numerous meetings wero held, the subject was brought to the attention of various governments, and though Weyprecbt died in 1881, his notions were carried out to the letter witn little aeiay. THE OIUCUMPOLAIt STATION.

The stations were finally resolved upon as follows The United States in Lady Frauklin Bay, in Smith's Sound and also at Point Barrow Denmark at God tboab Germany in Cumberland Sound, on the west side of Davis Strait Englaud at Fort Rao, In tho heart of tbe Hudson Bay territory, near tho Great Slave Lake Russia at the mouth of the Lena and at Moller'a Bay, Nova Sombla; Holland at Dick. on's Havn Norway at Bosekop, in tho Alten Fjord Sweden at Spitzbergen Austria at Jan Mayen Island, famous for Its fog and Ice. The Finnish Land dag oqnipped a meteorological station at Sodankyla a branch station was also established in France selected a station near Capo Horn, and Germany also ventured into the Antarctic regions by sending a party to one of the islands of South Georgia in 64 degrees south latitude and about 1,100 miles to tho eastward of Cape Horn. Those soutnern stations were to perform the same work in the way of scientific observation as their friends at the North. Thoy wore to note carefully all he phenomena.

In order that they might be able to compare their results with those or the Arctic stations. The gentlemen iu charge 01 the observatories at bourne aud Cape Town were also instructed to make a series of observation in connection with tho researches of tho French and German expeditions. It will thus be seen that fifteen expeditions wore arranged for to carry out the plaus of tho International Polar Commission, Arrangements were also made for the taking of mag. nelic and meteorological observations at a number of permanent obsorvatories on the 1st ana 15th of each month. The obligatory work was to include researches into meteorolouy.

magnetism, the aurora and astronomy. The voluntary or optional observations, which might be made without the Congress insisting on them, em braced every department of natural science, mclud ino the temnorature of tho soil, Bnow, aud ice. evaporation, terrestrial and gal vanic earth currents In close connection with macnetio and auroral phenomena, hydrograph ical. spectroscopics! and pondulum observations as woll as observations on atmospheric electricity, the growth aud structure of Ice, the physical properties of sea water," etc. Zoological, geological and botaulcal collections were to be accumulated, and though mere exploration was not forbidden, it was to be regarded as secondary to the proper work of the different parties.

THE NEPTUNE AND THE PBOTEOS. Since August, 1881, nothing definite had been heard from the Greely party. Rumors, it Is true, had come from various sources, but they had all been traced to the Esquimaux. It was understood that a fresh party, with supplies, should bo Bent out In 1882, and, if this failed to reach Lady Franklin Bay, a second In 1883. Iu case no ship appeared during the second sum mer, Greeley was to come BOuth, If praotloa bio, tn Littleton Island, where the relieving party was to form a station to receive him.

From this point sledges and boats were to bs sent out to meet the retreating command. Tho Government did Its'. ear to. carry out this In' July, 1882, (he steamer Neptnne was sent from St. Johns.

Special to the Eagle. Hunter's Point, July 17. A riot occurred at a picnic in Astoria this morning. members of the Moennerchor assembled at the dock to embark on a barge for a trip up the Sound. Thomas Rooney and three other roughB presented tickets and demanded to be let on the bargo, but tho committee rofnsed and offered to return tho prico of tlcksts.

Thomas Rooney, Thomas Riley, Cornelius Owen and another began an Indiscriminate assault on the excursionists, knocking down men, women children and creating a terrifying scone. A man with an electrical machine was knocked into the river a blow, and his machine was demolished. Tho man rescued. His head was out. Three women had their eyes blackened and their faces cut.

Rooney dealt John WageuBtein a terrible blow on tho side of the head, knocking hlra Bonselcss. He had an infant in his arms in falling tho child struck Its head against a piece iron, receiving a wound which may terminate fatally. Tho mother fainted and foU on her child's body. Rooney struck Lily Borbeck a blow on the nose which made a slight fracture and caused the blood to flow all over her clothing. She presented a dreadful sight.

Among others injured wereQoorgo WeiBsenstoln, George Kubasch, ex Alderman Stahl, Mrs. George Freid and Michael Bauer. Their injuries consisted of cuts and bruises. Edward Rooney reinforced the ruffians and sur passed his brother Thomas In inflicting violonoo, espe cially upon women and ohildren. Tho men in tho excursion party seemed paralysed by ferocity of the attack and the screams of tho women and children.

Many of tho men ran away, to get po lice assistance, thoy say, while others took rofnga on boat. Not a policeman could be found. When moBt of the people had got to places of safety Edward Roonoy Btruck a yonng woman In tho fae and she fell against the barge and then into the water. A deckhand fished her out with a boathook. When comparative peace had been restored Sergeant Darcy and a squad of men arrived and the ruffians fled avoid arrest Thomas Roonoy ntran Officer Beidy, but nevertheless was captured later by Officer Carroll.

Officer Kerr Becured Thomas Riley. Edward Roonoy was found secreted in a building. All were locked up. A NEW BANK. The Atlantic State to Have a Successor.

Prominent Brooklyn Men Interested in the Scheme The Capital $200,000 Busi ness to Begin About September 1. A new bank is to be organized in place of tho Atlantic State Bank, which suspended payment during the recent Wall street panic. The capital is $200,000 and it is expected that the new institution will be in operation by the first or September. Alreaay a large number of the former depositors of the Allantlo Bank have signified thoir intention of opening accounts, and it is said that not a Bingle person represented in tho old Board of Trustees will be included in the man agement of the new bank. This attitude is not In tended as a reflection on any of tho gentlemen who wore promioently idouttfled with the Atlantic State Bank, but it is claimed by those interested in Ihe matter that it will have a tendency to separate tho old from the new, aad thus enable tho institution to open on a thoroughly reorganized basis.

Up to tho closing of the doors of tho Atlantic State Bank a profit able business was transacted and annual dividends of 12 per cent, wero paid to the stockholders. It is said that somo of the heaviest stockholders of the old bank have placed their names on the subscription list, which for the present is withheld from tho public. A reporter of the Eagle inquired regarding the par. lmt informed that the subscribers wore unwlll. ing to give their names until the entire amount of RirwK nan neeu mtieu.

Subsequonlly ho movod to tho corner of Grand street and Union avenue. One morning Mr.

Gleason indulged in a shower bath, the effect of which killed him. His widow afterward married a well known physician in Philadelphia and removed to that city. The business then passed into other hands, or tne two sons of William Gleason nothing has been heard in Brooklyn for many years till recently. Yesterday a tall, handsome woman called upon tho Charities Commissioners and stated that her husband, Daniel F. Gleason, had abandoned hor, and that sho was likely to become a charge on tho county.

The nec essary steps were taken to have the alleged absconder arrested, but as yet without success, though it is believed that the police arc on his trail. Daniel F. Gleason is tho eldest son of the lato William Gleason, and is now about 28 years old. About a year ago he married a young lady in New York, aud hod been living with her at Ko. 120 r.ast iwemy bixtu hneei, nyiti when she discovered two loiters dated Philadelphia, ad dressed to "Dear Daniel," ana sigueu lour uneciiuu ate wife."

The Sinning Member Confesses and is Sns pended for a Year Mra. Solie Excommunicated What She Has to Say of Her Position The YilIafrers, Opinions. Special to the Eagle. Woodhaven, Jaly 17, Twelve gontlemen, comprising the male members of Congregational Church of this village, assembled la basement of their place of worship last night to take final action in tho cases of Mr. Augustln Rodert, former treasurer of the church, and Mrs.

Solie, of the former bright lights and earnest workers. Both were charged with falsehood aud Immoral con conduct and both adjudged guilty. The particulars in case have already been fully published in tha Eagle, and those acquainted with the parties and the question at issue express considerable sympathy for Mrs. Solie, who is thought to bo more Binned against than sinning. The meeting last night was hold in secret session, and, after a preliminary discussion, Mr.

Solie, husband of the accused woman, was allowed to be present the proceedings. Tho case of Mr. Rodert waa first tried, and when the case was called Deacon Barr, in voice that waa fuU of emotion and feeling for the man trial, presented a letter to tho acting moderator, Rev; Mr. James, of tho church. This letter waa from Rodert and in it he acknowledged his guilt and prayed for thHr leniency.

The letter was a model one, and as one of the congregation expressed it, would movo tho heart of a stone. An open confession from Rodert did away with all use for witnesses, and after considerable diacuBsion it was determined to offer up prayer beforo hall jting, in order that they might be given strength to vote without being influenced by anything foreign to the caso at issue. Brother Whltlock prayed long and strong, after which the vote was taken, which resulted Rodert being suspended from tho church for ono year. Tho case of airs. Rollie waa next taken up, and Bev.

Mr: James stepped to the door and informed the reporters, who wero waiting outside, that it would bo long afti'r midnight before the session would bo con eluded but he was mistaken, for in ten minutes a verdict wad rendered and Mrs. Solie was expelled from the church. Mr. Solie, previous to the taking of tho ballot, informed the Moderator that lira. Solie acknowledged that Bhe was guilty of falsehood, but was not guilty of any immoral conduct.

Without any prayer for strength, as in Rodert's case, they immediately balloted, which resulted in her excommunication. Only ono of the voters was in favor of suspension. Early yesterday morning Rodert left town not since been hoard from. He was sceu walking towards East Now York, and waa followed by Constable Abrams. The villagers expect that Rodert Is about to make a third attempt to take his life.

Au Eagle reporter called at the residence of Roy. Mr. James this moruing who, when spoken to about the dif ferenoe of puutahinont of the two members of the floek replied Mr. Rodort sinned and confcBsed it. He threw him self upon tho charity of tho church, and wo could not do anything but forgive him and Bay go and Bin no monv it was dinerout witn Mrs.

nolle, tine sinned and denied it, which was only adding insult to injury. You know the story of her immorality aud the chargo was a gravo one. Had Biio dono as did Rodert, pleaded guilty and asked forgiveness, wo would have willingly extended it. The whole trouble with Rodort is here," he concluded as he slgnifically tapped his forehead with his flugor. Mrs.

bolte denied most emphatically that she wai guilty of any gross immoral conduct, but willingly admitted that she might havo been guilty of telling falsehood. Sho complained bitterly against tho wide nefis of tho charge and said it should have boon mado more specino. Immoral conduct may mean but a trifle, and again it may mean a terrible crime." iiur husuand does not imnK tuat tne cases nave Deeu, faiiiv dealt with. The real cause of the trouble, Rodert," he said1, 1 was allowed to escape because ho promised to Bin no more. Didn't he tell tbe police over in Jersey tbat he wouldn't try to commit suicide again, and didn't ho come hero and try it I only wish he had succeeded." lirotner Barr, wno acted as Jtioaort's cnampion, aaia that Mrs.

Solio would have, in all probability, pleaded guilty to immoral conduct had sho been present and her iiusnaiid absent. 1 What woman, he asked, excitedly, wonld tell her husband of her guilt aud allow him to carry tho news to those who wero tryiug her Sno'fl probably see tho error of her ways before long and bo back with us." would she be admlttod to tho cnurcn again as ft member?" Whv. certainly. If she repents and makes the usual application sho will, of course, be admitted to membership." The vfllagcrs are rather severe in thoir comments', aud claim to be surprised that a member who has been guilty uf the same charge as Mrs. Solie, if Bhe is guilty, snd several minor ones bo only suspended and aha should bo expelled.

"The end is not yet," dramatically remarked tue village druggist, wno was expecting to see Rodert's body carried into town, as every ono seemed positive that he would make another attempt to nud his life as soon as au opportunity presented lt aelf. THE COMMON LANDS OF GHAVESENP JLiegral Complication Assumiuir a Moro Tatlfflblo Shape. It is said that the trustees of the common lands of Gravesend are about to commence legal proceedings for the recovery of certain land on the West End of Coney Island, doeded to the Sea Beach Railroad somo time ago for railroad purposes exclusively. Tha grouud of action is that the defendants have utilized the lands for other purposes. The town authorities of Gravesend also sued Peter A Tilyou to recover possession of certain lots in that town.

A decision wa8 rendered by Justice CulJen today in favor of the plaintiffs empowering the town authorities to sell tho lots and give deeds to Jacob S.

The franchisea and wharf privileges of tha Staten Island and Bay Bidge ferries were sold at public auction by tho Controller at noon to day to tho Statcn Island Itapid Transit Company.

Tho prlca paid was UK per cont. on tho gross receipts and $10,000 per year rental for tho wharf privileges. Tho proceedings wero very livoly, tho competition between Mr. John H. Starin and Mr.

year having elapsed, the Proteus sailed north again, off Cape Sabine went to the bottom. The ice was more penetrable than in 1682. The crew of the vessel were saved and made their way across Smith Bound along the eastern shore to Cape York, thence cross Melville Bay to Upernavik. No station was es tablished at Littloton Island, nor was an adequato quantity of supplies for the Greeley party Cached anywhere. When tho Proetus left Port Conger, in 1881, Greely homo tho outlines of a plan of operations which wonldhave been followed by Lieutenant Garllngton year if his ship had not been lost But before he departed for the frozen zone he received instructions this effect 1 In case no vessel reaches the permanent station in the vessel sent in 1883 will remain in Smith's Bound until there is danger of closing by ice, and on leaving will land all her anpplies and a party at Littleton Island, which party will be prepared for a Winter's and Will be instruoted to send sledge par up tho east side of GrinneU Land to meet this party.

If not visited in 1882 Lieutenant Greely will abandon Ms station not later than September 1, 1883, and retreat southward by boat, following closely the coast of GrinneU Land unUl the relieving vessel is or Littleton Island is reached." Greely may thus have begun his southward Journey Summer. That Greely has been in great danger Is admitted by tho authorities at home and abroad. Tho Schwotka search party avaUedr themselves of the resources of the country, and in their prolonged stay North depended sustenance on the game they shot and the fish thoy caught. Commander Schley went without any such detailed instructions, drawn up in a comfortable office in Wash ington, as hampered Lieutenant Garllngton last year. had the advantage of Captain Norman's knowledge the precise spot where tho Greely party had been and it was probably this knowledge which led to such speedy and satisfactory results.

MUNICIPAL. Set Back for One Rapid Transit Scheme. The Major and City Works Commissioner Deny the Application for Authority to Construct a Tunnel Road on Atlantic Avenue Tho Points Hade Against the Company Public School Moneys As sossment Valuations. Mayor Low and City Works Commissioner Fleeman have denied the application of the South Ferry and Seasido Direct Transit Company for permission to construct a tunnel road in Atlantlo avenue. The scheme was to have a road under Atlantic avenue from near the South Ferry to a point just above Third avoune, and thence running in a deep cut, with bridges intersecting streets, to Fort Hamilton.

It was pro posed to ultimately extend the road on the surface to Bay Ridge, Bath and Coney Mand. The following communication was sent to the company by the Mayor and Commissioner Gentlemen Referring to your application to the Mayor and Commissioner of City Works made originally in the Spring of 1882, a hearing upon which was then denied, aud to the renewal of said. application as per the lottor of your president, Lewis M. Brown, dated October 17, 1883, end to the various communications received from you in the mean Beason, we have now to make answer In accordance with the Mayor's letter of November 1883, opportunity was given to yon to prove your right to apply to ns under Chapter 518, Laws of 1881, reason of your having the consent of more than one half of the property owners upon Atlantic avenue. prima facie case having been made by you, public hearings were given by us in the matter of your application on February 29 last and on March 20.

At these hearings the sufficiency of yonr claim to having tbe consent of one half of the property owners upon Atlantic avenue was called in question, aud various legal points wero made aa to our jurisdiction In tbe premises regard to which briefs wore submitted by counsel upon both Bides. Aa to these objections wo are of the opinion that the courts would be the only competent authority to pass upon them, and we therefore make answer upon the merits of your application To a tunnel road, per ee, we are able to recognize a'most no objection, so far as the city is concerned, assuming the conditions are satisfactory under which is to be built. But a tunnel road under Atlantic avenue is open to two specific objections, each of which is, in our opinion, fatal to ths grant you seek. First Rapid transit over tho part of Atlantic avenue between Third avenue and the ferry, the section of the street covered by your application, cannot bo considered apart from the question of rapid transit over the rest ot Atlantio avenue, between Third avenue and the city lino. The portion of Atlantio avenue between Flotbusb avenue and the city line is now UBOd for a steam surface railway by the Long Island Railroad Company.

Such a use of the street, involving, as it does, cutting the city In two with a double lino of fence, cannot permanently continue. Sooner or later, with or without the con Bant of tho railroad, that use muBt cease. This involves a substitution for the surface travel, of rapid trauBit either above or below the surface. It is clear that whatever system prevails upon Atlantic avenue from Flatbush avouue to the city line, must continue down to the ferry. We cannot have a tunnel road through one section and an elevatod road through tho other for tho purposes of rapid transit on Atlantic avenue, and unfortunately we cannot have In the ferry end of tho avenue both the tunnel nnd the elevated Btructuro.

We might have both if we could consent to spoil tho surface of the street for the soko of having both, but if the foundations for the elevated structure are to be built with a view to avoiding a tunnel undor neath, tho supports must either be placed upon the curb as in tne iiowery, or in ino center oi vnu usreet suchfashloh as.tp,.spoil the roadway. It is claimed, and we think Justly, that from Flatbush avenue out to the city line four tracks' jare necessary to Accommodate properly tho travel of the city, and upon this assumption it seems to ns that tho elevated system is more advantageous to me uuy mnu me wyiwscu open out, although terminating with a tunnel. The elevated system would remove the fence and restore to the city the unbroken use of tbe avenue. The open cut would divide the oity in two, except at Btrcot crossings, almost more disadvatageonsly than the pres ent lence, WUUO 1 GUI euuugu tui .1 practically would destroy the Btreet. unon mo wuoie uiauer, muimuro, iic.

tlon whether the city ought to throw its Inllueuco favor of a tunnel or of an elevated upon Atlantic, avenue, wo feel compelled, with such light as we have at present, to decide iu favor of the elevated sys tem, and this, in our view, preciuuos a luvorauiu ro ponse to your application. The secona specino oojeotiou to ii tuuntu iwu nuum that part of Atlautic avenue which you desire to nso oddly enough lies in the exlsteuce of the old tunnel in thn lrtwor nnrtinn of the avenue. The Atlantio avenuo Railroad Company claim to bo tho owners of this tun nel as tne successors oi tuo coinpauy wmcu lunucuj owned It, and thoy have notified us aud we believe that a grant to you such as you eeek would be litigated by them to the full extent of the law. Tho subject of rapid transit In Brooklyn Ib too much mixed already to make It aesirauio to set anoat auotuei giant, mnaju be contested iu tho courts in such fashion as this. It is one of tho advantageous features of tunnel work that tunnels are not shut up, as other systems aro, to following tho lines of streots.

It is, therefore, doslrablo for you, in our opinion, to sink your terminus at tho South Horry unaer tne suriaco, eimer wiiuuui. lu to s'reet lines or under some other Btreot than Atlantio avenue. Yonr application in its present form is, tnoreroro, ao nied. Respectfully, Seth Low, Mayor. W.

The Stato assessors have notified tho local assessors that thoy will visit Brooklyn on the 25th Inst, to hear the views of tbe authorities in regard to valuations for purposes of Stato taxation. The State valuations have been based upon the local valuartons of the year Immediately preceding.

Our authorities contend that they should bo lower than the local valuations because we assess at 70 per cent of the real value, whereas in other counties the basis runs from 25 to 40 per cent. PUBLIC SCHOOL MONEYS. The sum of has been transferred to City Treasurer Wheelock, by the Stato, that being its proportion for 1881 for tho support of our public schools. Whou the local budget was made up lost year It was estimated that tho amount would be $276,821.01. Oon ssquently the Board of Education Is in $10,909.91.

It Is the custom of the city authorities to pay over to tho Board of Educatiou tho moneys due them and those moneys remain in bauk to tho credit of the officers of the Board, oavinc 2 ner cent, interest. At tne same timo when the city runs short it has to borrow money aud pay 8 or 4 per cont. interest. The city has on de posit to day about $300,000, while the Board of Educa tion has about $710,000.

In Greenpoint for more than a quarter of century no man waa better known than W. W. John who resided at 135 India street, and carried on tho business of a real estate and insurance broker at 451 Manhattan avenuo. He was a prominent member of Greenpoint Lodge, F. A.

MM OUve Leaf Lodge, O. and Sagoyewatha Tribo of Bedmen. He was popular everywhere by reason of versatile dialectic ability tbat made his company deBirable wherever ho went Years ago he was a circus performer, being an adept at tumbling, but the grand tumble that he has recently taken outvies all efforts of his in the professional arena. Mr. Johnson was manager for Greenpoint of the Ni agara Insurance Company of New York and the Lou Assurance Association beside having charge of several estates and collecting routs ior several private citizens iu and out of the city.

He was taken sick with pneumonia about one year ago, and for several weeks confined to his home and it was not expected he would recover. From that tlmo ho has beon descending an abyss of fiuaucial instability, uutil now is absent from the city, owing Beveral hundreds of dollars. About three weeks ago he was absent for two weeks or more, and considerable was caused thereby. Just as the story of his escapade was blossoming for publication ho appeared, saia av naa oeen uu a ian uus iu ucui He deuied any intention to remain away, and there was nothing in tho story of hia disappearance. It has since transpired that his object in returning was to collect the rents for the property In his charge for the month of July, and then he weut off again and his whereabouts are unknown to his creditors.

Mra. Johnson claims to know where he Is, but intimated to a friend that she did not think her husband would return to Greenpoint again. It looks as if Johnson doe3 not intend to come back name has been torn from the awning and taken from the window. A number of parties for whom Johnson collected rents are naturally very anxious that should return. Among those who have been mulcted are Samuel F.

Kelly, of San Francisco, who says he has not had a statement from Johnson in over a year, and ho does not know if the taxes have been paid or not. F. Lattimer, of Freeman, is short two months' rent oira. a. aicn.ee says mat buo nas not nau full returns for the sale of a house.

Beside these parties named it is said that toveral of Johnson's Intimate friends have been mulcted also, and his financial short comings wiU amount, it is thought, to several thousand aoiiara. This morn in tr Mrs. Johnson and family removed from Greenpoint They did not betray any sorrow by their actions.

The family consists of three daughters and a young son. The eldest daughter, Mias Geneviove Johnson, is a well known soprano singer. FOR A CORPSE. Peculiar Issue Before the Surrogate of Queens County. Gardiner H.

TVolcott Said to Haye Been Buried in Violation of His Will Claimed to Have Been the Husband of an Actres Whom Family Pride Would Not Recognize A Man Who Lored His Mother in Law. A somewhatpeculiar proceeding was listened by Surrogate Townsond, of (Queens County, at hia offlco in Jamaica, yesterday afternoon. It involved the question of tho removal of the remains of Gardiner H. Wolcott from Greenwood Cemetery, in Kings County, Greendale, Cemetery, InMeadville, Pennsylvania. The Wolcotta are an old aristocratic family of New York, and reside on an immense estate in Astoria, L.

In tho same plot in Greenwood are the bodies of father, mother and son, and the surviving members of the Wolcott family, a brother and two sUters, aro oppos ing, with all poFsible vigor and legal barriers, the removal of their brother's remains to the Pennsylvania cemetery. It appears fhat Gardiner H. Wolcott lired with Lanra Varian, an actress, whoso stage namo was Nina. It is claimed by the friends of the lady that Bhe was lawfully married to Mr. Wolcott, but the Burviviug Wolcotts mora than luBinuate tho contrary, and refer, with a flourish to the fact, that in his will Gardiner H.

Wolcott no whore refers to Nina as his wife. The provision in the will which has led to the present con troversy is as follows It is my special command that my remains Ho be side those of my darling Nina in Greendale Cemetery, Meadvillo, Penn. Any expense in carrying out this wish will be paid from my eetato. The man's remains have rested In Greonwood for two years and eight months. Nina died before Wolcott did.

In his will ho provided as follows: "One half 0 the legal interest as income of his es. tate I wish paid to my darling Nina's mother, Mrs. Charlotte Varian, of Reno, Nevada, as long as she may live." Mrs, Varian died April 23, 1884, in tho Hahneman Hospital, New York. The will having been admitted to probate in Queena County, an action was begun in the Supreme Court to have JtB provisions judicially conulrued, and the result was that the directions as to tha income of the real estate wera doclared invalid. Tho property descended to tho heirs at law, the same as if the deceased had never niado a will.

The case was la.it decided as abovo by the Court of Appeals. Mr. Delevan, counsel for tho parties wishing to remove the remains of Gardiner H. Wolcott to GreenSale Cemetery, and inter them beside the remains of Nina, repelled, with much show of Indignation the insinuation that the parties wore not legally man and wife. Once, when Mr.

Harrison, the opposing counsel, characterized aa untrue a statement made by Mr. Delevan the latter replied, hotly Don't you ever dare to say that again, sir, either in court or out of court." Mr. Delevan, who is at least siity years old, and weighs about one hundred pounds, held his ehmchod fists in the direction of Mr. Harrlsou, but the latter, who is six feet tall, and weighs two hundred pounds, did not notice the little man's challenge. The Biirrogato did not decide tho question raised.

Ho had some doubt whethur it had been passed upon by Judge Andrews, and it was on this question that the lawyers differed. The executors are willing to abide by the decision of the surrogate in the matter of the removal of the remaina. Frederick H. Wolcott, brother of the deceased, said tho removal of the body would greatly pain the family. It was asserto.i that tho ques tion of removal had only been raised at the end of two years and eight montha for tho purpose of enabling tho executors to hold on to the management 01 tho funds.

This assertion angered Mr. Delevan, who asserted that if $300 could be reserved for tho expeneos of removing the body, pending tho decision, tho executors would distribute tho estate to the heirs at onco. This was not agreed to. The surrogate said he would confer with Judge Andrews before deciding the case. LOSING HIS 310SEY AND ATTEMPTING SUICIDE.

A Drue Clerk who Wrote a Deadly Prescription for Himself In Justice "Walsh's court this moruing Robert Bright, a young Englishman who attempted to commit suicide by taking a quantity of laudauum. was arraigned for that offence. Justice Bergen, who was acting for Judge Walsh, refused to accept his plea oi guilty aud commiEted him to Raymond street Jail until to morrow.

The presumption at first was that ho died from hemorrhage of tho lungs, due to natural causes. This morning, however, Dr. Valentine, tho post mortem surgeon, stated that Coroner Hesse had informed him that tho man had been stabbed eomo time ago and that the hemorrhage was duo to this cause. A renorter of tho Eaole callod at tho house this after noon and learned from his wife aud daughter that air. Dentil had been stabbed about six weeks ago.

Tho stabbing occurred at 2 o'clock on a Sunday morning ou the corner of Johnson avenuo auu njiuuuwi a.icoi. There had been a flght on (ho street and man dressed in navy blue rushed suddenly upon him and stabbed oirht times in tho region of the heart with some pointed instrument. He walked as far a grocery on tho corner oi rj.unmuu"' ou. vvut. BOn avenue, entered the ball and fell down from exhaustion caused by loss of blood.

Dr. Koche, ot Suydam street, was called in and attended him for a week, durini! which ho was very weak. Last evening, about 7:30 o'clock, Benth wont down Btoirs to get tho beueftt of the air. He had remained thero about fifteen minutes, and then feciiug rather weak weut upstairs just in time to fall dead in the arm of his daughter. Tho polioa wero not notified of the stabbing.

The stabber, according to the description given by deceased, was a man about 5 feet 6 inches and wasdrosscd in navy blue flannel and calico shirt. Thera were several fights 'Drfvalontino made an examination of the body this afternoon, which rosulted ino Btabltshing tho fact that death was duo to hemorrhago of the lrtugs and not to tho wounds, and inasmuch as these did not penetrate the cavity of tho chest at all, and are small superficial punctures as if resulting from some blunt pointed instrument. It was alBO ascertains that deceased some nine years ago had hod an attack of hemorrhage from tho lungs. Nobody la tho neighborhood knows anything of tho stabbing, a fact accounted for by the early hour of tho morning when It ocourred and tho reticence of Benth and his family in regard to it. Deceased leaves a widow, son and daughter.

The Bridge Police Station came near being scene of a tragedy yesterday afternoon. A little three o'clock Captain Ward was called upon by Policeman John W. MoKenna, of the First Precinct, said he was In search of his daughter Lillie, who left her home, at the instance, ho believed, of Roundsman Charles Heath, of tbe bridge police. Heath sent for and confronted with McEenna.

He at denied aU knowledge of the girl, but on Captain Ward's insisting that ho tell what hs knew, admitted he had met the girl adrift in New York, and had her money to accompany him to a house of ill repute In that city, where he had frequently met her. Ho took the matter very coolly and alluded to the contemptuously. McEenna was much excited aud a sudden burst of fury whipped a revolvor from hiB pocket and covered the roundsman. Captain Ward Bprang between the men, wrenched the weapon from HcKenna's hands snd succeeded In getting him into the Btation, where' he soon became calmer and departed. Superintendent Martin was informed of the case and promptly dismissed Heath from the force.

Heath is a thick set, sandy bearded man, about 65 years of age, and has been a roundsman on the bridge force Bince Us organization, giving good satisfaction. is a widower, without children, and previous to going on the bridge had beou on the New York force. Of he has been active In minor political circles in this Policeman John W. McKenna has been connected the Brooklyn police Bince 1872. He Is said to be efficient aud trustworthy man.

He Uvea at No. 70 Smith street, where a reporter found him this morning. This is his story "I am the father of eight children, ot whom seven living. My eldest daughter is married and lives in New York. My daughter Lillle, whom I am now seeking, is 23 years of age, ana until receutly has lived at home.

She worked In New York at a place in Chambers street, and need to cross over on the bridge. She was very attractive, and In her daily walk became acquainted with thla man how, I know not About six weeks Bhe came home and said that she had found a nice position as a companion and dressmaker with two maiden ladies residing on Gates avenue. A week lator she called to say that one of her patrons had gone into the country and that sho and the othor were to move at once to a house In Lexington avenue, New York, giving the number. I thought nothing strange of the story at the time and knew nothing further until Saturday, when my vacation commenced. Chancing to be in New York I met a friend, who Baid he had seen Lillle go Into an evil place in the Bowery in company with a stranger.

I did not believe it, bat tried to fiud the number in Lexington avenue given by her. There was no such number to bo found. I was dazed. Then I began to investigate fully. I found that the man seen in her'company was Roundsman Heath, of bridge police.

Then I went to Superintendent Campbell, who detailed Detective Shaughnessy to assist me, and Justice Walsh issued a warrant for the girl, wanted to find her and put her in some place where she would be safe. I could not find her. Then I went to the bridge. Heath at first denied and then confessed. Tnen a flash of rage camo over mo and I would have shot him.

but my hand was stayed. I have not been able to find her yet Detec tive Shaughnessy and I were all last night in New York, but could net no trace of hor. Wo shall keep hunting until she Is found. Her mother has been 111 and 1b nearly broken down with sorrow. I have scarcely eaten rested since I commenced my search, nor will I until she is found." Mr.

McKenna appeared very much broken down with grief. He is over 50 years of ago, tall aud hollow eyed, with black mustache aud hair of an iron gray. Inspector Byrnes has sent out a general alarm, and Now York police are on tho lookout for the missing girl. Heath was at the bridge station a short time this morning. He carried his head very low.

His late associates avoided him and he did not seem happy. He was there to deliver up his uniform and shield and to receive $iu uue mm. IN MARBLE. The Memory of Nathaniel Sylvester Fittingly Commemorated. Where Quakers Found Safety from Perse cution The Visits of George Pox to Shelter Island Men and Women Who Suffered Martyrdom on Boston Common.

Stanzas by John Greenleaf Whiltier, Special to the Eagle. Bhelteh Island, July 17. This has beon a red letter day iu the history of Shel ter Island, made memorable by the un vailing of a mon ument to Nathaniel Sylvester. The monument also commemorates the same virtues of various other per sons, who, more than two centuries ago, suffered per secution, and many of them death, for the principles of religious freedom which they avowed. Nathaniel SylveBter was the first resident proprietor the Manor of Shelter Island, under grant of Charles 1666.

Sylvester was an Englishman. He was born 1610. He went from Amsterdam to the Islaud of Bar badoes, aud became a merchant and planter. He came to this country about tho year 1640. He purchased Shel ter Island, comprising about 9,000 acres, in 1651, and with bis wife Beitlea on tho island in 1652.

Mrs. Sylvester was the daughter of Thomas Brlnley, auditor of Kings Charles and IL The price paid for the territory was IJiOO pounds of merchantable Muscovado sugar. Prior to the coDing of SylveBter James Farrett had acquired both Shelter Island and Bobin's Island from William, Earl of Sterling, and sold them to Ste phen Goodyear, who transferred the titlo of Shelter Ielani to Sylvester, after which the latter obtained deeds of confirmation from the Indians. Wyaudank's deed is 230 years old. The original deeds and a great many interesting letters and papers are in the possession of the surviving descendants of Sylvester.

AmoDg the collection is a letter written by William Robinson to George Fox, founder of the Society of Quakers, from the jail in Boston tho day before he (UobinBou) was hanged for the offense of being a Quaker. There iB also a letter from Mary Dyer to her husband, written just before she was hanged in Boston Common on the same scaffold with RobinBon, Marmaduke, Stevenson and William Leddra, All of these people and many others found temporary shelter from persecution under Sylvester's roof on Shelter Island. George Fox was a frequent visitor there. Lawrence and Cassandra Southwlck, who wero despoiled, imprisoned, starved, whipped and banished. fled to this island to die.

The east end of the monu ment bears an inscription to their memory. Mary Dyer, who was executed on Boston Common, was a siBter of Madam Sylvester.

At 9 P. June 22, five miles off Cape Sabine, in Smith's Sound, Thetis and Bear rescued alive Lieutenant A. W. Greely, Sorgeant Bralnard, Sergeant Fredericks, Sergeant Long, Hos pital Steward Beiderback, Private Connell and Sergeant Ellison, the only survivors of the Lady Franklin Bay expedition. Sergeant Ellison had lost both his hands and feet by frost bite, and died July 6 at God haven, three days after amputation which had beoome imperative.

Seventeen of the twenty five persons composing thie expedition perished by starvation at the point where found. One was drowned whilo seal ing to procure food. Twelve bodies of the dead were rescued and are now on board ThetlB and Bear. One Eskimo Turnevi was burled at Disco, in ac cordance with the desire of the Inspector of Western Greenland.

I would urgently snggest that bodies now on board be placed In metallic cases here for safer and better transportation in a seaway. This appears to me im perative. Greely abandoned Fort Conger August 9, 1883, and reached Baird Inlet September 29th follow ing, with entire party welL Abandoned all bis boats and was adrift for thirty days on an ice floo in Smith's Sound. His permanont cqmp was established October 21, 1833, at the point where he was found. During nine months his party had to live upon a scant allowanco of food brought from Fort Conger, that cached at Harbor and Capo Isabella by Sir George Nares In 1875, but found much damaged by lapse of time, that cached by Beebe at Cape SaTiiue in 1882, and a small amount saved from wreck of Proteus in 1883 and landed by Lieuten ants Garllngton and Colwell on the beach where Greely's party was found camped.

When these provlvision3 were consumed the party was com. polled to live upon boiled sealskin strips from their sealBkin clothing, lichens and shrimps preserved in good weather when then they were strong enough to make exertion. As 1,300 shrimps wore re quired to fill a gallon measure, tho labor was too ox. haustlng to depend upon them to sustain life entirely. The channel between Cape Sabine and Littloton Island did not close, on account of violent gales, all Winter, so that 210 rations at the lattor point could not bo reached.

AH Greely's records and all Instru ments brought by him from Fort Conger aro recovered and are on board. From Hare Island to Smith's Sound, I had a constant aud furious strugglo with ice in impassable floes. Solid barriers of ice wero overcome by watchfulness and patience. No opportu nity to advance a mile escaped me, and for several hundred miles tho ships were forced to ram their way from lead to load through Ice varying in thickness from three to six feet, and when rafted much greater, The Thetis and Bear reached Cape York Juno 18, after a passage of twenty ouo days in Melvillo Bay with tho two advance ships of tho Dundeo whaling fleet and continued to Capo Sabino. Returning seven days later, fell in with seven others of this fleet off Wosteuholme Ielond and announced Greeiy's rescue to them that they might not be deliyed from their Ashing grounds nor tempted Into the dangers of Smith's Sound, In view of tho reward of $25,000 offered by Congress.

Returning across Melville Bay fell in with the Alert and Lock Garry off Devil's Thumb, struggling through heay ice. Commander Coffin did admirably to get along so far with the transport so early in the season before an opening had occurred. Lieutenant Emory with the Bear has supported me throughout with great skill ullness and unflinching readiness in accomplish inn the eroat duty of relieving Greely. I would ask Instruction about the Lock Garry, as tho charier party held by hor master differs in several respects Irom mine. The Greely party are very much improved since rescue, but were critical in the extreme when found and for several days after.

Forty eight hours delay in reaching them would have been fatal to all uow living. Tho season North Is late and the closest for years. Smith's sound was not open when I loft Capo Sabine. The Winter about Melville Bay was vno most severe for twenty years. This great result Is entirely due to tho unwearied energy of yourself and the Secretary of War in fitting out this expedition for the work it has nau tne nonor to accomplish.
