At The last meeting, in London, Of the Royal Geo
graphical Society, the President (Sir Roderick MUIR
chson) introduced 10 the meeting Mr.. Poor, OF
America, who, in company with another gentleman,
formed deputation from the Geographical Society
of New York, furnished with ntroductions from the
President and Secretary Of that learned body. The
object of the deputaton was to seek an explanation
respecting the correctness of the following para.
graph, which had lately appeared In IIWmer and
Smiths Europedn Timcs.-"At a meeting OF the
Royal Geographical Society, DR.. Rink, q Dane, read
a paper in which he challenged the accuracy OF
nearly all the alleged discoveries Of DR.. Kane on the
north coast Of Greenland The lecturer maintained
that the line Of coast on the American coast OF Bar
I'm Bay, as high 81 degrees latitude sketchcd in
Dr. kanes chart, fictitious, and was founded ON
observations reported TO have been made from
points where 1t was impossible TO have seen the
land. Many other portions OF DR.. Kanes nara
tive were disputed, and IL was roundly asserted
that the american was hoaxed by his steward.
These views were endorsed by Sir George Back,
Captain Collinson and Dr.. Armstrong. Sir
Roderick Murchisou was in the chair. hut he
said nothing on the disputed question: Pho Ameri.

above paragraph, and feeling naturally deep inte-
rest In maintaining the truthful character and scen

chairman stated the secretary would be happy TO
furnish but he begged most emphatcally to declare
that the account from the European Times was in
accurate and he regretted that so garbled state

German Emigration to America.

EDUCATION OF GERMAN CHILDREN AT THE WEST.
Hamburg June I'D correspondence OF The London Post
Two circumstances connected with the extent of
German emigration have recently attracted consi.
derabe notice. Several newspapers, printed in the
German language, in various cities in the United
States Of America have been prohibited at the Prus-
sian frontiers and not allowed TO circulate in any
part Of the kingdom. They are chiefly published In
New York, Chicago, st. Louis, Detroit, &C.. and as
they point out the advantages Of settling In those
localities II has been Thought that at present when

deputation from Chicago recently visited Lepsic for
the purpose OF obtaining the most correct informa

wom.n's R,shs. and French Marriage.


However capricious and unjust may be the mar
rage law here 10 nuptias contracted abroad the
rights Of the woman are on far different footing
than in England. To illustrate this, case was de.
cided Yesterday, when Nine. Noblet, the actress Of
the Theatre Francois and Odeon, having married in
1912 Sieur Delamarree, then pennyess, In 1857 be-
came the victim Of illtreatment. She had spen.
did villa at Themes, rich furniture, and stock of
5000 bottles Of primest vintage. The husband hav-
ing been duly separated this year a mensd 81 uoro,
claimed possession of the cellar, and the use of the
domice. The Court ruled that he should confine
himself 10 his own sittngroom, and TO particular
bin OF liquids, until further orders the rest Of the
apartments at to beput under seal, and secured
to his better half.
The following Is another curious fact;-Mr. Pugh,
an Engnhman, carrying on business at the Bat'g-
noes for supplying rails, applied on Me 18th ut, to
the Civil Tribunal to grant him a separation from his
wife. q Frenchwoman, on the ground Of adultery.
Before his case was stated, Mdme. Pugh, through
her counsel raised the objection that the tribunal
could not entertain the action. inasmuch as by her
marriage she was English a. well a. her husband,
and French courts have jurisdiction over foreign
ers in such matters. She nevertheless called ON the
tribunal 10 decree that as provisional measure, Mr.
Pugh should be ordered 10 pay her l000f. down, and
600of year, and that their two children should be
given up 70 her, they being Roman Catholics as she
