mems published by others. But it is sup
posed that ''the modern Malay differs
much from the Polynesian >. in its gen
cral construction" This is very I'M
portant point. This difference, it has
been conjectured, may have arisen from
the accessions to the Malay from the San
scrit and Arabic.
But, although it was certain that many
Hindu and Arabic words have been
adopted, together with the al phabet of the
latter, it does not follow that any such al
teration of the general construction has
taken place, as that alluded to. 1t has
been chiefly in words, seldom in grammat-
ical construction, that alterations have
been effected in corresponding cases.
But let us compare the Malay of Mr..
Marsden's Grammar and Dictionary with
one or more of the ''Furthcr Polyncsian"
dialects, which. in future, shall be dcs-
ignatcd simply ''the Polynesian." The
writer has only very limited acquaint-
ance with the Malay, derived from Mr..
Marsdcn's publications. These are his
chief authorities, and all the subsequent
quotations, not otherwise acknowlcdg gcd,
are taken from that gentleman's Malay
Grammar.

THE GREAT ARCTIC PROLEM SOLVED

THE GREAT ARCTIC PROLEM SOLVED
The long mooted geographical problem
of a North Western Passage to the Pacific
Ocean from the Atlantic, is at length solved:
there IS such passage. The honor of this
discovery belongs to Mcssrs. Deasc and
Simpson, of the Hudson's Bay Company.
In 1887, and again in 1888, they attempted
to complete the exploration of the Northern
shore of this Continent, by descending Cop
permine River, which emptics into the Arctic
Ocean, in long. about 10 West, and from
its mouth proceeding Eastward until they
should arrive at the Westernmost point
reached by explorers from the Atlantic. In
both years they skrted along great extent
of coast, though much impcded by ice, but
failed to accomplish the grand object of
their pursuit Now at length their perse
verance has been rewarded They have
ascertained that Boothia is an island, and
that it is separated from the mainland by a
strait from three to ten miles wide, which
connects the Gulf of Boothia, (partially cx-
plored by Captain Ross with the Arctic
Ocean, in about lat. 68 3D. and lon. 90 49,.
The entire passage from the mouth of the
Coppcrmine River to the Atlantic, extend
ing near so degrees of longitude lies to the
Southward of lat. So But we will not de-
tain our readers from their narrative. After
descending Copperminc River, with their
party, they reached Cape Franklin on the
night of Goth July last and rounded Cape
Alexander on the 28th, in doing which, they
encountered great peril from a violent head
wind and drifting ice. The narrative pro-
cecds as follows:
From Cape Alexander, situate in lat.
68 deg. So min. North, long. lO6 deg. 40
min. w., to another remarkable point in
lat. 69 deg. 33 min. N, long. 80 deg. 10
min. w., the Arctic coast may be COM
prised in one spacious bay, stretching as
far South as lat. 81 deg. 40 min, before
it turns off abruptly northward to the last
mentioned position. This vast sweep, of
which but an inconsiderable portion was
seen by Mr.. Simpson last year, is indent-
ed by an endless succession of minor
bays, separated from one another by long
narrow projecting points of land, enclos-
ing an incalculable number of islands.
From this description it will be evident
that our route was an extremely intricate

COM NUNIC ATE ID.
,rhc Dialect Of Samoa, (the

Malay. by i. Heath, ManonO, Samoa.
The readers of this journal are aware
that the question, "Whence originated
the PovnCsian tribes:' is one to which its
READERS attach some measure of import
ance. That the numerous groups of
the Pacific had common origin, is evi-
sdent from the similarity of their dialects.
ARTICLE 6, of the II. Spectator, for July,
al53S, and article 2, in the number for
ganuary, 1899, afford specimens of this
Similarity. Every one who is conversant
iwith two or more dialects can furnish
abundant examples of the same kind.
|grhc writer of this has compared the Sa-
Smoan dialect with the Tonga, Hawaiian,
.pTahtian, Harvey Islands and New Zea-
)and, and with brief specimens of a few
Others. and finds multitudes of words rad
icaly the same in them all, each having,
ht the same time, its own peculiarities.
gThe Samoan has the or slight guttcral
|here others have the k, yet the latter
sound is substituted by many of the ma
StWes for the t. 1t has also the nasal
Whcrc others have the n; the or f where
Others have the h and the INSTEAD of the
y.
I On this general similarity, however, we
flo not intend now to dwell, but to insti-
tutc a comparison of the Samoan Gas a
3pecimen) and the Malay. The most
Aeuable hypothesis yet advanced certainly
is that which supposes the Polynesians to
have migrated from the parts where the
Nlalay language is spoken, and has, for
bges, prevailed. 1t is of little consequence
% our enquiry whether Java, or Sumatra,
pr the Malayan Peninsula, was the prmi-
fve cradle of that race. ''The language,
Asays Mr.. Marsden,) prevails throughout
2 very extensive portion of what is vague
~ termed the East Indies, including the
Southern part of the peninsula beyond the
fianges, now bearing the name of the
Nlalayan Peninsula, together with the ISL
pnds of Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes,
ghnd innumerablc others,'.. "as far to the
Eastward as the Moluccas, to the south
fvard as the island of Timor, and to the
northward as the PHILIPPINES" This he
Pals "llither Polynesian," to distinguish
from further Polynesia, by which he de-
8lsnates the numerous islands eastward of
New Guinea. So that he makes the
ASholc one immense nation.
II Of the similarity of the dialects preva-
9ent in ''lIilher Polynesia" Mr.. M. says
pc had the most abundant proof from va
9'ous yocabuarics and other documents in
h's possessions; and the fact appears evil
tlent from the specimens published by
pun in his "IIistory of Sumatra," and
miscellaneous works, by Sir S. Raffles, in
hls "History of JAVA" by DR.. Richards
N his "Physcal History of Mankind,' .
and by others.
OF the family likeness of the Hither
Polynesan and Further PoIynesian, some
specimens are given by Mr.. Davies in the
H. Spectator for Jan. 1899. With the far
greater number of the Malay words he
pas there given, the Samoan has cores
Pondng ones. In some instances also,
he rescmblances here are nearer than his
examples. The same may be said of the
'st OF some sixty words given in Marin
Frs "Fonga Islands," and of like speci.

return. NC llad all Su11crcu more or less
from the want of fuel, and the deprivation
of warm food, and the prospects grew
more chccrless us the cold weather stole
on apacc; but having already ascertained
the separation of Boothia from the Ameri-
can continent, on the western side of the
Great Fish River, we determined not to
dcsist till we had settled its relation there
to on the eastern side also. A fog which
had come on dispersed towards evening,
and unfoldcd full view of the pictur-
esquc shores of the estuary. Far to the
southwark Victoria IIeadland stood forth
so clearly defined, that we instantly re-
cognizcd it by Sir George Backs exquisite
drawing. Cape Beaufort we almost SEEM
ed to touch, and with the telescope we
were able to discern Il continuous line of
high land as far round as northeast, about
two points more northerly than Cape
Hay, the extreme eastern point seen by
Sir George Back.
The traverse to the furthest visible land
occupied six hours unrcmitting labor at
the oar, and the sun rising on the 18th,
when we scaled the bluff and singularly
shaped Rocky Cape, to which our course
had been directed. 1t stands in lat. 6S
deg. 3 min. So sec. N, lon. 81 deg.
35 min w. The azimuth compass, by
Jones' settled exactly in the true meri-
dian, and agreed with two others, by the
same maker, placed on the ground. From
our proximity to the magnetic pole, the
compass had lattcrly been of little or no
use : but this was of the less consequence,
as the astronomical observations were very
frequent The dip of the needle, which
at Thunder Cove, (l2th AugusD was 50
deg. 20. min. 35 sec, had here decreas-
ed to 50 deg Is. min. 40 sec. N. This
bold promontory, where we lay wind
bound till the 10Th, was named Cape Bri-
tania, in remembrance of our glorious
country. On the bectling rock that shell
tered our cncampmcnt from the sea, and
forms the most conspicuous object on all
this part of the coast, we erected conf
cal pile of ponderous stones, ii feet high,
that, if not pulled down by the natives,
may defy the rage of a thousand storms.
In it was placed a sealed bottle, contain
ING sketch of our proceedings, and pos
session was taken of our extensive discov-
cries in the name of Victoria |, amidst
the firing of guns, and the enthusiastic
cheers oft the whole party.
On the 10Th, the gale shifted from N.
+. to f. s., T.. and after crossing fine
bay, due east, with no small toll and
danger, the coast bent away northeast,
which enabled us to effect a run of forty
miles. Next day the wind resumed its
former direction, and after pulling against
1t all the morning among the shoals and
breakers, and gaining only three miles,
we were obliged to take refuge in the
mouth of Il small river.
From limestone ridge, about league
inland, we obtained a view of some very
remote blue land in the northeast quarter,
in all probability one of the southern pro-
montorIcs of Boothia. Two considerable
islands lay far in the ohing, and others,
high and distant, stretched from T.. to
L. n. f.
Our view of the low main shore was
confined to five miles in an easterIy direc-
ton, after which 1t appeared to turn off

THE BANNER.

The following resolutions, introduced by Mr..
Adams, were adopted at the late meeting of the
Burlington Tippecanoe Club; and unless some
other course is suggested, we presume the State
Committee will adopt measures accordingly.
"Resoired That in the opinion of this meeting,
Vermont has outstrpped all her competitors in
the great struggle, and has wonthc prize Next
to the consciousness of duty discharged, is that
OF knowing it is appreciated. Vermont has Civ.
en- her highest energies to the salvation of the
country, and well does she deserve to stand m
the front rank of patriots. The prize rendered
is pledge of the deep interest of the Wings O.
Louisiana in the principles of our government
which high souled patriots only can know. This
prize we accept; and may it be bond of ailec
ton between the North and South; and let eacl
inscrlbe on their banners, "devoton to oul
country"
"Resolred, That the State Committee be directed
toprocure certified copy ofthe canvass, showing
the whole number Of votes cast, and of the ma
jorty, and forward the same to the Wings O
Louisiana, and take proper measures to receive
the flag, and make such return as the prize ant
