navy she was too "wal-sded," but that
was not a matter Of very great moment.

VIEWS OF DIR. I. L HAYES.

DR.. |. |. Hayes communicated his views on
the Polaris disaster TO TRIBUNE reporter last evening
Beside confirming all Of ChiefJusce Days utterances
ON the subject, he thought that tho injuries TO
the Polaris which caused the disaster were direct
ly dns 20 her defects OF construction. The Gov
ernmunt had always provided miserably inadequate
vessels for Arctic expeditions. The vessel in which
he had made his own expedition IN 1880 was only about
half as large as the weIknown yacht Henrietta The
Navy Department was to blame in allowing such ship
10 20 on such service The want OF experience IN the
commander and lack OF OF nature probably
caused lax discipline his command It would seemlike-
y that there was dssenson board the Polars, and
the expedition was apparently badly managed. The
statements published as mne said DR.. Hayes that Han
was put death by his men. wildly exaggerated
have only suggested that there the merest possibility

spared, would not have given over the attempt 70
reach Pole for two years longer at least: lie won

immense fees by the Department and that at various
nearly all the prominent lawyers IN the city had
been under pay FOR legal advice 70 this extrayagant
Board. It also asserted but not officially announced
the Council, that these payments, nomnaly for pro-
essiOnal services. really meant as retalners to
prevent the lawyers thus paid from taking the cases Of
taxpayers whose uGgatons with the Board were caeu
lated 70 expose transactions similar 70 those in regard
20 the iBhicdOn Of patent water-cocks upon house
holders 1t was also stated that IN some few instances
lawyers thus retained had been employed to make com
promises with taxpayers who had applied to them to
take up their grievances. By this system it is claimed
by the Reform Committee alluded 90, that much of the
nisdoihg Of the Board OF City Works, which is now at
tackled al sides for it oOrruptiou has been stuy
