The decreased aereage under wheat in England in 1883, as compared to 1882, is 18 per cent, and 27 per cent. a compared to 1881. This decrease is not ascribed to any temporary bnfe to a permanent canse which it has been found in vain to combat against ...........
United States spinners used 108,551 bales more of cotton during the past twelve months than duiing the like peri od preceding, or 2,073,096 bales in all. Southern mills consumed 313,393 bales an increase r of 26,439..
The offimal statement of the cotton crop of the Unifed States for the year ending Au?. 31, 1883 shows a total of 6,949,756 bales. This is considerably less than the amount handled- by the New York Cotton Exchange, which "sold" something like 36,000,000 bales during the past twelva months.
A shobt time since a New York journalist, in attempting a diagnosis of the money market and the condition of Wall street, cynically remarked that theii stagnant state was chiefly owing to the fact that all the cashiers who had been dabbiing in stocks were now in the penitentiary, and that no revival could reasonably be looked' for until a fresh crop earae to the surfaces What was prophecy then is history now.
The steamer Nevada,of the Guion lioe, landed 682 Mormon converts at New York on Sunday last The majority of them are well to-do members of the lower classes, and none require any assistance: They are principally Scandinavians, with some Swiss, Germans and English. The twenty seven missionaries that accompanied them claim to have made converts to the number of 30,000, which is doubtless a great exaggeration
The extent of a alicious bain burning in this State, says the Indianapolis Journal, has grown to be alarming. It not only destroys the property, but runs up the raits of insurance and thus taps the pockets of all who dairy policies upon this class of property. There is urgent need' of the barn burners getting seriously but accidentally shot. A little carelessness among farmers with the rifle, while their bams are tilled with the summer's harvest, might result in great good to the community.
The New York Castle Garden officials estimate that the immigration at that port for the present year will probably be fifty thousand less than that of 1882, which, however, was extraordinary. The grade of immigrants is said to be much superior to that of the previous years. There are fewer aged people, while the proportion of young men and women is unusually large. Great efforts are being made to attract the newcomers to the south, but still nearly 75 per cent, come west

A SNEAKING TBICK. American Register. Amopg the most dispracefnl tbiogs which, the political activity of the season has developed, the attempt of Governor Foster, of Ohio, to smireh the character of Judge Hoadly, seems the worst and excusable. To eV arge Judge Hoadly with buying his nomination, and then when pinned down for his authority for snch to sneak put of it by giving the opinion of somebody else, saems almost too maH an undertaking for even a politician to be engaged in, and certainly not creditable to a man holding the highest office in the State. Foster is not a public man whose virtues might be extolled, and whose methods made an example for worfcy imitation, but we certainly thought he was more of a man than to make a charge against so distinguished a sitizen as Judge Hoadly, and then sneak out of it when he found h'mself uopleasantiy cornered. Governor Foster disgraces the people of his State, as well as dishonors the high office lie bears, when he leads himself to such work as that. The danger of Republican defeat must be im aaineufe when suoh means are resorted to, to affect publio sentiment.. SCARING BUSINESS MEN. N. Y. n. . ; ;. The Rspublican party has already b.:gnn to r .sort once more to its old policy of scaring the business men. "There is a feeling of sensitiveness developing itself in business Ci"rdes.,, says Mr. Foraker, the Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio, "hindering activity and investment because of the uncertainty as to what- rhe Democratic party woud do should it come into power." We see no evidence of the existence of any such feeling arising from any such
cause. The Republicans may find it convenient at the present time to attribute a temporary depression of trade to the prospect of a Democratic administration. But they forget the confidence which their leaders express ; hat the next President will be a Republican. Unless these professions of confidence are false, it any public apprehension has arisen it shou d be ascribed on their own theory to the prospective continuance cf Republican power rather than to the probability of any change in the patty complexion of the national government Iti3 probably fortunate; however, that
this cry has been raised so early. The Democrats are warned what to' expect If the next House of Representatives proves to be wise, conservative, and econ mical,
! the business men of the country cannot
be scared again by the Republicans on the eve of a Presidential election. The Republican party must go! A FALSE STEP. Christian Union. The Republicans of Pennsylvania have adopted a plank which has, at all events, the advantage of novelty. The plank is as follows: That any. surplus in the public treasnry arising from a redundant revenue should, after paying the national dent as fact as its condition will permit bo distributed from time to time to the several States upon tho basis of .population, to lelievo them fromrthe burdens of local taxation and provide means for the education of their pen pie. Taxation which compels the individual to relinquish a pprfc of his earnings to
oilers can oe jaatifaed only on theground .that every re ember of the community, for the di ect and indirect benefits which the community aliords him, can be co unelled to pay his share of those expenses which ere necessary fo its Jife and well Win
When taxation is carried beyond this
pomt and ti:e common people are taxed not for their own benefit but for that of others, ife becomes robbery. This is the case, for example in Turkey. The contiuaauce of a iieaVv taxation iniffht nr-
I haps be justified-it at least could be
plausibly defendedon the ground that the income was necessary to promote universal education, or the preservation and perfection of fcha Mississippi, as works of national necessity; or the payment of pensions to soldiers aud their widows, as an act of national Justice. But this is a proposition to take money from the pockets of people in the form of an indirect tax, and then pay it over to over to other people in the form nf a airecfc gratuity It does not better the scheme any to have it defended on the ground chat by this project the Republican party will be able while retaining the manufacturing and protective States, to make liberal gifts to
the agricultural ai d non-protective Si a1
and so purchaee their support also. It the Nation may tsx the purchasers of for-
eigu goocis and put the money into the
pockets of airy berefioiaries it may select, it can, on the same principle, and by just as much right, tax, the rich and pay the money over to the poor. The Pennsylvania lesolution is the iirsfc step toward Communism. The nose of the camel is already in the Republican tont; the whole of the animal is behind the nose.

LABOR MATTERS.
LABOR IN THE SOUTH. . John O. Calhoun, grandson of the fa mous statesman of the same name, and who is now a resident of Arkansas, was a witness before the senate committee on labor and education, Thursday. He was called to testify in regard to the condition and prospects of labor in the South. He stated that since 1869 h i had been engaged in cotton raising in Arkansas, and the abundant opportunities of observing the condition of labor at the South. Laborers in the Mississippi valley are entirely agricultural. Few white men are employed,as they soon become land own-
eas or tenants. The condition of the negroes was food, as compared with a few years ago. There were three methods of employing laborers for wages, working on shared, asd as tenants. Large farmers, besides furnishing farmeis with shelter, fuel and other advantages, divide the gross receipts cf the crops of the crops among their employes. Under this system thrifty and industrious laborers ought soon to become land owners, but the negroes are so indolent that they fail to take advantage of the opportunities offered them, and will only devote so much of their time to work as will enable them to procure the necessities of life. Under the renting system the best land in the country can be obtained for from $3 to $10 per acre, tod with the rental get many privileges. On his own farm witness employed all these methods of employing 1 ibor, but preferred the tenant system. It was his object to rare the standard-of colored laNr to that of the small white farmer. This could only be done gradually, on account of the ex treme poverty of the ne rors. A large portion of the cotton crop is now raised by small farmers and tho number of tn;-se is increasing every year. The relations between planters and employes are friendly and harmonious, and there is little danger of strikes. Laborers felt that they have an interest in the soil, and that a strifce would bs as injurious to them as to the employers.
John Roash resumed his testimony Thursday morning before the senators ot the education and labor committee. He wished to correct some misapprehensions which, seem to exist in the minds of the public regarding his previous testimony. He denied emphatically that he testified that ships rould be built as cheaply in this country as in England. He said materials were as cheap here as in England, but the cost of labor was greater, which increased the cost of building. He claimed that without protection no indnstries except farming and mining could be carried on. Jn the case of the three commodities, cotton and woolen goods and iron, the average value of the yearly importation for the last ten years was $1,178,000,000. ' These facts Mr. Roach considered a dangerous sign, especially as they existed under the present tariff laws, The witness proceeded to give the committee further enlightenment on the question of free ships. At the present time Great Britain bad one thousand millions of money invesied in the shipping business. It was her most profitable industry. Ten years ago England had 142,000 men engaged in the sailing merchant service and 8,700 in the steam merchant vessels; to-day there were 104,000 men m the sailing service and 166,000 in the steam service. Last year the earnings of this immense merchant fleet were 400,000,000. This enormous stride of the British people was accomplished at the expense of this country. The interests of the workingmen were neglected by those -vho ought to geard them, and this was t e secret of the decrease of America. shipping, in Mr. Roach's opinion. On the question of the hour's of labor, Mr.Roach believed that if theeight ho ,t system w s established by the government it would be necessary to increase , the protective tariff in order t o counteract the influence of the increased cost of production Getting down to bottom facts, Mr. Roach
said the only way of benefitting the con
dition of labor in general was to give it a chance at land. Tf the govern menfc would give 150 acne of land t every man who would g" west an3 cultivate it himself, there would be an easy solution of the labo. question. In order to co this effectually he government should appropriate a certain sum for transporting emigrants to the West. Save the Old Paper. Never throw away old paper. It yon have no wish to sell it,use it in the house. Some housekeepers prefer it to cloth for cleaning many articles of furniture. For instance, a volume written by a lady, says: "After a stove his been blackened, it can he kept looking very well for a long time by rubbing it with paper every morning. Rubbing with paper is a much nicer way of keeping a tea-kettle, coffee-pot and tea pot bright and clean than the old way of washing them in suds, Rubbing with pper is also the
best way of polishing knives, tinware and spoons; they shine like new silver. ' For polishing mirrors, windows, lump chimneys, etc., paper is better than dry cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much better if brown paper, instead of cloth, is tied over the jar. Canned fruit is not so apt to mould if a piece of writing paper cut to fit the can, is laid directly on the fruit. Paper is better to put under a carpet than straw. It is warmer, thinner and makes lesa noise when one walks over it."

HOW LINTON BANK BED.
WAS ROB-
by MATJBIOB I2 TAXASOb
Thelit&e cdty of iimUax, a place remarkable for the sobriety,, industry and morality of its inhabitants is just emerging from a thrilling' scene whioh ahool! the whole cojnmunity with nervous 'excitement, and that came near to destroy.. ing the fire of faith in huuaanity which has so lo:agr turned so brightly in fit bosoms of those easy-going1,, hon-est country fold. The journey I have just completed was:
one of haste, and my say in iinton was; muoh shorter than I had hoped it might be; but I was there sufficiently lon to witness the closing scenes of" a remarkable, trial, and one that will be long remembered by the people of that quiet town and be talked, of as the city's tragedy. The Iiinton Bank is one of the interesting institutions not only of Linton, but of the whole country in whioh it is situ ated. It has long been noted for its financial stability, and its officers and clerks have many yars born the name of MIdntcmv8..CbiiBervativiBBln whioh was iven them for their perfect honesty 5and firm adherence to striot banking principles. One of the first movemen ts after I had arrived and partaken of a wholenomrj noonday mesl, a la rural dif?irict, was to visit the bank for tho purpose of havirig a, check cashed. . As the teller handed me a small package of greenback e, I observed that my old friend. President Goodnow, who was sitting near the huge doors of the iron vault, was locking me sharply in the face. He seamed tc have observed that the new iron aud wire ruling separating the teller's corner from the outer part of the room had strongly attracted my attention and f eom my looks judged that. I was noting i he changed anpearance of things nd, therefore, naturally inferred that I was not a stranger at the 50unter. But the teller's face wa3. a strange one to me, and that, with the new railing and wire work, had cheated within me a feeling of
inqui8itiveness which I could not hide. " The bank president arose f rom his chair raised his glasses from his eyes,and walked toward the railing whioh separated us. He noon recognized me, and I was greeted in his usjually warm and pleasant style. "I saw you ware interested to understand why all these radical changes in our little bank," said Mr. Goodnow, "and from the manner in which you looked at the strange face at the teller's desk, and the wirework surrounding it, I concluded at once that you wore not a stranger to Mi" "Yes," said I, "ife looked so strange to me that I almost doubted for a moment tbfctlwaa in the place that I had supposed it to be. Bat I got a glimpse of your familiar face and my doubts were dispelled. Tell me, Mr. Goodnow," I contin ued,w hat is the cause of this change?" -lYep, I will,' replied the old gentleman, in tones which assured me that his tender
in the vault, He checked over his cash entries and balanced his books as if all were right. Sunday morning Mr. 'West men called for me and asked if 1 would go with him to tho bank. T consented, and when inside the bank Mr. Wsstman said he wanted to examine John's cash. Wo made a careful count and compared the money with tho books, aud found the cash was an even 85,000 short. We said nothing about it until Monday morning, when we met fobn at the bank. Mr. Westman then asked him if he had balanced his cash cm Saturday. His face was slightly flushed, and he said that he had balanced his cash book, but that his cash was short and he did not stop to see what the trouble was. He said it was short 85,000 as he supposed, but that he expected a careful examination on Monday would show whore the mistake was. Then followed an examination aud a re-examination, and still another trial at finding the lost money. All attempts were fruitless, and an expert was employed. The expert corroborated the othQr trials, and reported to the board that there could be no doubt about it that John Earnest was positively short in his cash to the amount of 85,000. The matter was placed in the hands of detectives, and John was arrested. It was discovered that soon after the money was missd John paid off a mortgage on his mother's house, and that fact gave the deteotives as they thought a direct olue to his gailt. When John was arrested his bondsmen came forward and offered to make good the loss, but John positively declined and refused to allow that to be done, He declared his innocence, and said h cou ld prove where the money came from to pay off the mortgage. He would rather suffer imprisonment and a trial than to have his bondsmen pay for what he had not stolen, and thereby be considered a thief. He demanded a trial. This is probably his last day m court, and I ceo no chance whatevei: for the poor boy to escape the full penaltv of
the law. I admit being greatly in doubt about his guilt, and it will be a terrible blow upon me to see him taken to prison It would be almost as hard as to see my own child taken there." And with these words the old man tremblingly shook his
white looks and wiped his moistened eyes. We were now at the Oourt-houe steps, and we slowly ascended to the commodious Court-room. An immense throng had gathered around the building, and when we entered the Court-room we fonnd it completely packed, aud the doors guarded to prevent further iugresa of the crowd. My companion passed me in, and led the way down the aisle to a seat in the space reserved for counsel and witness. A. few minutes later the p rison -ercame in under escort of a Deputy Sheriff. The face was natural, and was the one I had expected to see at the counter where I went to get my check cashed. The prisoner looked pale, however, from the severe trouble he had evidently been passing through. But his clear skin, soft glossy, dark hair, bright eyes and face beaming with intelligence and good nature nil helped inspire his friends with confidence in hie; innocence. It was a picture for an artist as every eye was turned toward the Bmooth-faced young prisoner. The old gentleman leaned over to me, and in a whisper said, as tho tears eaine to his eyes: "Isn't it a sorrowful picture? Isn't he the type of a aoble man? And my poor daughter she was deeply iu love with him. I wouldn't hve iiad it happen for half Bm worth.'' Before I oould ask any question, though I was now more thoroughly than before awakened in the case, the Judge took his eat, the jury were escorted to their box, and the Court was called to order. Juatifchen a small boy came tiptoeing through the c, owd and beckoned to the Deputy Sheriff' I heard him bay: "Here's a message for Mr. Earnest." The telegram was placed in the prison-
J er's bands. He nervously opened the rf wranncr. read it: and nassnd it to his
sympathies were aroused on the subject, j CjOXWel The attorney forthe State had
just arisen, and asked to recall the expert who had examined the books. The
"I will tell you the circumstances as far ae they have gone," he said, with deep feeling, "ai d I can assure you that it ia a sfid Rtory you shall hear. But, as we talk will ask you to walk with me, I must be at tha Court-room promptly at two. I shall be glad to have you go with me Si' you have time,' aud the aged man wiped the sweat from his brow and pushed back the white locks which: partly con oealed his pleasant face. ' "Indeed, Mr. Goodnow," I answered,, (iit will be a pleasure fco accompany you.. L will most happily accept your invitation."' "Poor John Earnest is in jail for theft would almost as easily expect to be there ?nyself as to see John Earnest in jail. E could scarcely have believed it; had the facts not come before my owr eyes, mid even now it almost seems as though it must be a dream." The tones in wh ich these words were uttered were sufficient to tell nie of deep sadness in the old man's heart as he was speaking. "Yes," Mr. Goodnow connuued, "John is in jar!, and his poor widow mother is almost orushei with frief. John was her only support, her idol and her pet She is'a noble woman, a true mother, I can tell you, and even to this day, in spite of
all th e evidence which has been produced
she declares that John is innocent."
"But what are the charges against him Mr. Goodnow? Do I understand that
John Earnest, that faithful, intelligent
man, who has nerved you no long and ei well is now in jail for theft?" "He is, was the trembling reply. "H is charged with having stolen a package of money containing 85,000 from our bank." "Is it possible? And what are th3 cir cumstances ? pray, L t mo know," I asked with great impatience. 'The circumstances said my friend "are that a package containing 85,000 was missed from our bank, and we have never been able to account for its disappearance upon any theory or supposition, save that. John must have known whfc became of it. He declares, of course, that he does not, but all the circumstances point so strongly to his guilt that I am in great doubt. If there were any reasonable theory upon whioh I could base a presumption, or any evidence at all points ing to his innocence, I should readily no cept his word 8S the truth, although it an against all the evidence produced by an examination of the books." . , v "It was on a busy Saturday that the shortage occurred -or, at least, so far as any of ns know. Inclosing business at the bank Saturday afternoon John asked! on r cashier, Mr. Westman, if he had put awsy a package of money from the teller's desk. Mr. Westman said he had notand John carefully looked over his cash once
I more, and finally packed it up and put it
request was granted. A series of what seemed to me quite unimportant questions were asked and answered. The. witness ?as excused, and just as the State Attorney was about to arise; the counsel for the prisoner sprang to his feet and addressed the Court. "May it please your Honor, I hold in my hand material testimony in this case. It is a telegram from an imoortant witnes, who will be here to-morrow to testify iu the prisoner s behalf. I desire to ask your Honor for a stay of proceedings until the witness arrives. If ihere be no objection I shall be thankful for the privilege of reading the telegram," The Judge informed the attorney that he could first show the paper to the attorney for the State? and if he did not object it could then be read. This was done; consent was given, and the telegram, dated at St. Louis, was read as follows : "John Eakkest, Linton: Delayed by accident Will be there to-morrow to prove your innocence, and corroborate your statement of my bequest. Tabe courage; all shall be well. "Petbb Pobothl" After the telegram had been read the State Attorney arose and addressed the Courts 'I see no reason, Your Honor, why tins trial should be delayed upon the strength of this telegram. There is no evidence to show that it is genuine, and if that point be admitted there is no evidence to sh w that the evidence to be thus secured will establish tho innocence he prisoner. Even though it be proved that the author of the telegram ia the uncle of the prisoner, afi is alleged, and that he will be able satisfactorily to prove how the prisoner came with the money to pay off the mostgnge, that will remove only one of the strong circumstances which go to provo his guilt. There are other circumstances, bb X"our Honor is aware, upon whioh he may be convicted. I trust, Your Honor, that this shall not bs deemed of sufficient importance to arrant a postponement of this case." The able counsel for the prisoner then followed with an el oquent argume it in favor of a postponement. While bo was talking a beautiful young lady entered the Court-room. She was at once the observed of all ob:ervers, and an almost deathlike silence stole over the immense audience as Bhe carefully, though evidently under great excitement, followed an officer of the court until they reached the railing within which cat the counsel and witnesses. As soon as tho young lady's presence was observed by my elderly companion he arose -quickly and hastenei toward her, showing signs of surprise at seeing
her there. The two held a short whispeied conversation, the young lady pointing to a small package which she held in her hand. My elderly friend evinced, by his movements, excitement. He opened the little gate leading through the vailing, the young la ly stepped inside and took a seat near the counsel for the prisoner. When the lawyer had finished his remarks he turned round and bowed gracefully to the young lady, and they shook hauok A few whispers passed between them, and the attorney, amid the bieathless suspense of the spectators, and while every eye in the room waa upon the person who last entered, arose anil said: If Your Honor please, and with the consent of the learned counsel for the State, while I was speaking en important witness in this case entered this room. That witnes ia now hero willing to testify, and I beg the privilege of introducing further testimony." At this the attorney for the State arose and said: "I have no objection, Your Honor, to receiving any testimony which is important to a fair and impartial trial of the accused, i consent to the gentleman's request of course, upon his honor that the testimony is important and material," "I call Miss Nettie Goodnow," the prisoner attorney said. The Judge bowed very politely as the young lady arose tud he said: "Miss Goodnow, you will please take this chair
pointing to the witness stand. The directions were obeyed, and the oath administered. The usual questions as to acquaintance with the case and the prisoner followed. Then came the question: "Will you please inform the Court and the jury as to the nature of tho package you hold in your hand, Mis Goodnow?" The witness carefully unfolded the package as she replied: "This is the packige of money, sir, which was taken from the Linton Bank on Saturday, the 10th day of last month 5,000 !' and she held it up that the Court might get a view of it. "From whom, or where', did you get this money, Miss Goodnow?" demanded the counsel. "I fo nnd it to-day at the house of Mi. Henry Black, among a bundle of papers belonging to George Westman, the brother of Cashier Westman, of Linton Bank!" This reply came like a thunderbolt from heaven, and the excitement which followed was so great that the Court rapped vigorously upon his desk before order oould.be restored. The counsel for the accused stopped forward, and, taking the package of money, placed it befora the court, saying: "If Your Honor please, we d(&ire to offer this paokage of money as a ps.rt of our evidence in this case." A paper held in the young lady's hand was a letter addressed to her from George Westman, and which gay e a clew to the true history of the case. Young Westman was the brother of the cfishier. He was in love with Nettie Goodnow, the daughter of President Goodnow, and knowing that John Earnest was the young lady's favorite, he had planned and carried out a scheme to steal the money in such a way that suspicion would rest upon the young teller, and through the disgrace thua produced the attachment between the couple would le broken off. The letter in the young lady's hands was from George Westman, confessing to her his orime, telling her where the money was, and begging her to get it and not inform on him. It contained direful threats if she should dare to reveal the truth or refuse to send him the money. . As soon as the letter had been examined by the counsel an agTeement for a postponement was mada Young Earnest allowed his friends to give bonds for his appearance the next day, and there was not a dry eye in the court-room when the accused man started toward tho door and was stopped by the sweet voice of a young lady who approached him with an extended hand, sympathetically saying: "We have never lost confidence in your honesty, John. You shall be free to-morrow." Tho remainder of my story can be as easily imagined as told, John Earnest is ag tin teller of Linton Bank.- Cashier Westman is one of his best friends. The cash is no longer short, and though Geo Westman is not to be found, his honora ble brother has paid all the costs iu suit, and bo charges have been preferred agaimsfc the guilty person. J shall not be surprised to receive, ere long, cards inviting roe to witness an interesting ceremony, which, I understand, is to take place at the residence of President Goodnow.

We sat down under his ample tent, passed the pipe around, and in answer to my questions he spoke substantially as follows: "I don't know how to speak to the white people. We were oiace enemies,bufc are now friends. I was not in the fight with Custer, being in my camp over the hill, but I commanded thb tribes with my chiefs. I do not know who killed Custer, nor do any of my braves,becausewe knw "that Custer wore long hair. We learned afterward of his death.and that a few days before the battle he had cutoff his hair One of my men got his buckskin coat,but tko brave has since died and was buried in it. This is all I know about the battle, :I have been offered much mney to travel with Buffalo Bill and tote present at the Cincinnati exposition, but I never traveled on the cars, and fear that tc do so woul i make me sick. I now have a. lung disease, and fear that in a short while I shall go to my father's; therefore-, tue little time that is spaced me I want to spend with my children, whose sight delights me. I have ten children and many relatives, who want me to stay with them. I also fear that if I trusted myself from home that the whites would starve me,or that I would die before returning."

The United States Greeley relief steamship Yantio has j?ist anchored at St. Jobs N. P. Her tidings are lamentable. No word has been received from the Greeley or any of its party. The steamer Pro tens was crushed iu the floe of ice at the entrance to & Smith's sound, July 23d. Gapt. Pike, his crew, and ecientiiic party are passen : era by the Yantip. The first officer of the Proteus briefly summarizes the ill fated Proteus expedition as fo lows: The Yantio and Proteus left St Johns, 4 p. m., June 29. The Proteus "arrived at Godhaven bay, Disco island, July 6, aud the Yohtio six days later. 1 ho necessary preparations having been made the Proteus sailed for Cory island, arriving July 16, and leaving July 21. Two days afterward the vessel was crushed, and sank at 7 p. m,, July 23. Twenty-nine days were then spent in the boats. Several storms were encountered, from which the boats took refuge under the lee of the icebergs. Lieut. Col well and six of the crew parted company with the others at Gape York, and ound the Yantio July 31. They re ported that Capt. Pike and the remainder of the crew were moving southward. The Yantic reached Cory island Aug. 8. The same night she proceeded to Pandora harbor, where a record from Pike and Garlington . was found. He next proceeded south along the Green
land coast, sending boats 'all round the mland in search of the missing crew. A storm and the heavy pack-ice on Aug. 9 l!oreed the Yantio to anchor to the leeward off Northumberland island. The next day she bore away for Upernavik, arriving there . Aug. 22. Aug. .27 she started for the Waigate coal .mines, and returned to Upernavik Sept. 2. Capt. Pike and his crew were found and taken on board the Yantic , The Proteus was crushed in floe jice at 3 o'clock on the evening of July 23, and sank within four hours,as the closed floes parted company. Fortunately sufficient time was given the men to save their clothihg,provisipns, and other necessaries to meet what might prove a protracted trip. Two days later the boats being equipped, provisioned and manned, start W89 made. The scene of the disaster was eight miles north, northwest of Cape Sabine, latitude 79.51. Over 600 miles if ice and frigid water was passed before Upernavik was reached. While endeavoring to force her way through to clear water the Proteus was caught between two immense floes. These pressing on at botkis quickly crushed in 'tier stout walls. Her hold filled with water, and it was soon evident that no efforts would avail to keep her from sinking. Hatches wero broken open and all bands set to work throwing olothing,prosions and other stores on the ioe. The larger part of the cargo thus unloaded fell into the water and was lost, butsuflicient was saved to insure the comfort of the party during their retreat southward and also to make no inconsiderable cache for the Greely paity should it, , as seems now inevitable, be forced to make its own way southward. Lieut. ColWell, U. S. N. also succeeded and most fortunately in saving three boats from the wreck. As quickly as Lieut. Col well loaded one of the boats with stores, and, with a crew of four men, set out for shore. The trip was made with great diflicnlty on account of the ice, but by perseverance and unsparing-exertions he foiced a passase through Several successive trips were thus made, and a large quantity of provisions safely
landed and placed in a cache. The last ; trip was made the morning of July 24, and, as the ice had closed in rapidly the ! boat and its load h ad to be dragged across I the ice two miles before it could be launch
ed in clear water. Even t en floating masses of ice closed in so rapidly and angrily that the boat escaped being stove in only by the narrowest possible chance. The goods iu the cache were rendered as secure as possible, aud the spot marked so as to be readily discovered, by the party from Port Congar.
The Greely arctic expedition was sent put by the United Stntes government in 1881, under the plan arranged by the Geographical Congress held at Hamburg in 1879. It was placed under charge of Lieutenant A. W. Greely, U. S. A., and went out June 14 of the above year. The colony located at Discovery harbor,Lady Franklin bay, latitude north 81 degrees, 44: minutes, longitude wes; 64 degrees, 30 minutes. This is nearly as high ia latitude as' a- man ever wintered -an. The Protons left Greely and his party- there; and his two assistants, Lieutenants ;F. F Kislingbury and J. B. Lookwood,' both of the army, five subordinate officers . of the signal corps and fifteen selected enlisted men. Congress in 1882 appropriated $83,000 for the supply and relief of Lieutenant Greely and his party. The supply expedition was promptly sent, but the vessel, the Neptune, was prevented by the from communicating' with the party,; an returned after depositing a large quantit of stores in a manner which had bee agreed upon with Lieutenant Greely it anticipation of such a failure. At its les t session, Congrers made another appir priation for the relief of the expedition and the Yantio was sent north to go ouf with the Preteus. Considerable effor was made to prevent this year's expedt tion from miscarrying, ominous opinioi r having been heard that if this year's n lief expedition there could be little doub that Greely and hie whole party woul perish miserably. Gen. Hazen went ii person to St. Johns, and saw the Protein started off June 30 last, and her consort the Yantic, Lieutenant E. A. Garlingtct was put in command of the expedition accompanied by a surgeon and ten picked men. . Captain Richard Pike was mastei of the Proteus.
