CAPT. HALLS ARCTIC VoYAGE,-The prep
aratious for Capt. Halls new voyage of arctic
exploration are nearly completed. The crew
has been secured, and the steamer, thoroughly
fitted for arctic adventures, is taking in stores
at Washington. The government has done
everything in its power to make the voyage a
success. The Smithsonian Institute will fur
nish the scientific corps, and, also, the astro-
nomieal, meteorological, and other instruments.
Two Eskimos now in this country, known as
'Hannah and joe" will accompany the expedi-
ton The New York Commercial Advertiser
says, eff success does not wait upon this expe-
dition, we may infer with tolerable eertainty
that it is unattainable." This judgement is not
well warranted.
The most complete preparations for an arctic
voyage are not all that is needed to make
it successful. The man at the head
of such an expedition should be capable
of something more than a repetition of what
has been so many times tried in vain by others.
He should be capable of trying new path and
using new methods. Capt Hall proposes to go
as Kane, Franklin, and all his predecessors went,
up Bafin's bay, and then try to reach the Polar
sea by way of Lancaster sound, Jones sound,
or Smith sound and Kennedy channel Kane
tried the latter route, and, by means of sledge-
travel across the ice, secured degree of success
which Capt Hall is not likely to equal. Ii
the experience of arctic explorers has taught
the world anything, it is that no ship can go to
the Polar sea through any channel leading out
of Bafin's bay; and Capt. Hall cannot work
miracles. If he were better qualified to succeed,
he would follow the gulf stream, and see what
can be done by this method. This might re-
quire greater skill in navigation than he pos
sesses; but the expedition could secure compe-
tent navigators.

Foreign Notes.
GERAIANY

Il
BERLIN, May 1T.-There was strong discus
sion in the German reichstag to-day on the right
of the members TO inquire into the acts of the
government. The liberals were vehement in de-
manding this right. This is the first conflict be-
tween parliament and the government since the
reichstag met. The southern members are ex-
ceedingly suspicious, and speak their minds
plainly and with energy. The reichstag sits for
three weeks. There will be no Whit Sunday
holidays.
FRANCE.
PARIS, May 17.-Last night the police authori-
ties of the Hotel de Vile, with guard of franc
tireurs, descended upon Peters American res
taurant and arrested $50 men and women who
were there supping luxurianty. Their offence
was that their extravaganza was not in keeping
with the times. Among those arrested were
several superior officers of the commune, whom
it has been determined to punish for neglecting
their duty for pleasure. AT six O'Clock to-day
an explosion took place in a cartridge factory in
the Avenue Rape, which occasioned great con-
sternaton. The explosion was Intentional and
the author of it has been arrested. The loss of
life is at present unknown. Six hundred per-
sons were killed by an explosion near the Ave
nue. de Trocadero last night. Most of them
were women.
LONDON, May 1S.-The Times special from
Paris SAYS the commune resolved to form a CEN
trail club of women for the purpose of disarm-
ing runaways. A delegation of the commune
in the second ACCOMPLISHMENT decreed the closing
of houses of illfame. The Daily News special
from Paris reports great agitation among the
people and distrust of the commune. Arrests
are becoming general. 1t is supposed that the
Germans are about to send an ultimatum TO the
commune. Heavy columns of troops are near
Passv where battle is hourly expected. The
Telegraph special from Versailles says that 49,
900 Insurgents attempted Tuesday to surprise
the government forces at Neuilly, but were re-
pulsed and driven back TO their own lines. 1t is
reported that the Versailles troops have carried
the lunette gate of Paris A dispatch from Paris
says a number of persons were killed by the ex-
plosion of powder magazine in the avenue
Trocadero, variously estimated from so to 200.
The stock of cartridges which was immense, and
a large amount of neighboring property was de-
stroyed. The committee of safety appeal to the
national guard to secure the triumph of the
commune, and in so doing describe the fearful
results which must come from their inaction.
Another attack was made Wednesday on the
Versaillist position at Neuilly but as on the pre-
vious day the assailants were repulsed. The
communist batteries at Montmartre to-day bonn
barded the Versailles work at Chateau Becon.
The commune has directed Rignault to make re.
prisals for all acts of cruelty perpetrated by the
Versailles commanders.

ever perpetuates the memory of war
is demoralizing and should be destroyed. This
conviction does not lead them to lay down their
arms, or to take measures in earnest to con-
cude peace on honorable terms with their cour-
trymen outside the walls of Paris. Nothing so
practical occurs to them; but in their capacity
of a universal peace society they decide that the
destruction of this column is their first duty.
Their cannon still continue firing from the ram
parts; assault and defence go on as before, and
Frenchmen are slaughtered by Frenchmen every
day; but the commune denounces war, and en-
phasizes its disapproval by demolishing mon
ument which, after standing for sixty years,
had almost ceased to be thought of as.anything
but a work of art.
The inconsistency between these professions
and this practice was not the only peculiarly
French feature, as Gallicism has developed itself
in these latter days, of the proceedings. When
the mob was expecting the fall of the column,
the tackle gave way, and the engineer announced
a delay of two hours. The tickle, suspicious
populace was at once in an uproar The en-
gineer was a traitor, Versaillist; "To the gull
lotine with him." Down came the column at
last, and then the mob thronged around ii as it
lay, spit upon the PROSTATE and broken statue
of the first emperor, and belabored it with their
muskets. Then the enthusiastic advocates of
peace went back to their campaigning, and the
fragments Of the monument sacrificed to the
popular hatred of war are melted down into
cannon

A somewhat notable decision has lately been
made by the English court of chancery, which,
as correspondent says, throws light, if not
luster, upon English justice" The question in
dispute was whether Catharine Hawkesworth,
a child of eight years, should be educated as
a Catholic or Protestant. Her father, who
died when she was about six months old, was a
Catholic; her mother is and has always been
devoted member Of the church of England. She
has had charge Of the child's education, and
thus far mother and daughter have attended
church together. The father left no directions
for the child's education, but it is presumed that
he would have wished her brought up in the
Catholic faith His relatives brought suit
against the widowed mother to compel her to
direct the daughters religious education accord
ing to what they assumed to be the wish of the
deceased husband. The court of chancery sus-
tanned the position of the plaintiffs, and ordered
accordingly. The decision gives such curiou.

ion, should have no hesitation in acceding to
the earnest argument of Mr. Jackson (tbe moth.

be brought up in the Roman Catholic faith will
be to create a barrier between widowed mother
and her only child, TO annul the mothers inlu-
