The special committee of Assistant Aldermen to
hear argument for and against the loan OF
S2,500000 to the Industrial Exhibition Company
held final session yesterday, and will report at
next session OF the Board.
Mr. JAMES CONNOLLY. OF the Workingmcn's
Union, spoke in favor of the loan, purely because
1t would aid some of the large numbers OF work.
ngmen now out of employment
lie asked the representatives OF the company IL
they would enter into bond TO use iron but
American.
Mr.. BARRETT said the company could not do so,
and If they dld he believed such bond would not
stand in law,
Mr. MITCHELL, the first speaker, asked that EN-.
poyment be given TO aborers. and that, If deemed
proper the loan OF So 500 900 be made to the Indus
trial Exhibition Company. He desired TO state tnaI
the organization he represented was In iavor Oh

pOying residents OF this county on tne WORN. II the
money not advanced. the workingmen would
like TO know IL the same amount would not be ap-
proprlated to carry out bther public works. In the
protest made lie was struck at the name OF Mr..

Mr. MoMunDY OF the committee, read lengthy
paper on the origin and progress OF the company.
lie declared that the company Is ready to COM
mcnce the building as soon as 1t Is satisfied that
ii will obtain the money from the city. This last
TACT being determined iavoraby, II win put 5000
men at work within ten days at full wages. In
case the winter produces much suffering as is
anticipated this number may be increased to 900
men working on hall time. IL rs rumored that tho
city has difficulty in placing It's bonds. II this is
so am authorized to state that Allerton n Co.
will take the first 81, 900 Of city bonds which It
Is necessary to issue at one per cent above par
I. e. l0l. am also authorized 30 state
that the Industrial Exhibition Company VIII
take the next $l,J00000 or Dohds
for work done on the building at
the same rate. This efectually disposes OF the
dficulty OF placing the bonds. The company, ne
said gives the city Of New York first mortgage
f0r $4,000, 000 which mortgage Is secured py real
estate which, unimproved, Is worth $2,b000oO:
When this IL done the city gives TO the INDUSTRIAL
Company $1,000, 900; and wnen the Industrial Com
pany presents to the Comptroller good and sum-
cient vouchers that It has improved the property
to the amount OF $1,ooooo then the city gives
the remainder or the S2 100000 which l,00Ge00.
The peopie Of New York cannot be taxed ana can
not lose one dollar under any circumstances by
this Industrial loan.
The Mayor and Comptroller OF the city Of New
York have under the law full and discretionary
mower ana have no right to expcnd one d0nar v
this money except the city Is fully secured.

The Committee on Protests.


The Committee on Protests met at two O'cOcR
yesterday, when Commissioner Davenport quoted
several decisions in this and other States, showing
that the County Canvassers have ministerial
powers only and cannot 20 back OF the record
in counting the returns made to them. The COM
mittee heard argument from James W. Angel con-
testing the seat or Mr.. Flanagan for civil justice.
He claimed that the election was null ana void in
that inspectors were not appointed by
the authority or the law governing elec-
tons in the city and county Of New York,
that the New York canvassers have no authority to
cali upon the authorities OF Wcstchester iOr re-
turns the inspectors had no power to make such
returns to this body, and that there was no legal
election. John Cochrane appeared for Mr.. Angel,
arguing that the election was void and there were
no returns to canvass Ex-Judgc Cardoza ap-
peared for MIR. Flanagan, aud, referring TO the
opinion OF the Corporation Counsel, insisted that
because the inspections had not been conducted un
der the law governing elections in New York
county the voters OF Morrlsana should not be dis
fraIchised.
The hearing OF the case OF Nachtmann against

Brutal Massacre.

We have the particulars of an afro
cious massacre of Modoc prisoners, sup
posed to have been done by band of
of Dragon vetenteers.
On Saturday morning James Fair
child and dozen other men left Fair
child's rancho with II Modoc captives,
including women and children, and
Shack Nasty Jim, Bogus Charley, Tee
hee Jack, Pony and Little John. The
Indians were in wagon drawn by four
mules. At the crossing of Lost river,
the party encountered body of Oregon
volunteers under Capt. Hiser. The SOL
diers gathered about the wagon and
questioned Fairchild. The latter told
them the Indians were all Hot Creeks
except Littlejohn, and there were no
charges against them. Fairchild under
took to push on to Bayle's camp, and
the volunteers retired to their camp near
Crawley's. On the road, Fairchild no.
tieed two men ahead riding to Rocky
Point, as if to intercept them. When
the team approached the two men one
of them presented a needle gun to Fair
child, saying, SECT down, you old white
head. "By what authority ?" demanded
Fairchild. "By mine. / am going to
shoot the Indians and you, too" was the
reply. The leader caught hold of the
mules and unhitched them, cutting the
harness. Fairchild, clinging to the lines,
escaped to the ground. The poor
wretches implored for mercy, and begged
Fairchild to save them. The warriors
were unarmed, and knew resistance was
useless. They were the coolest in the
party although facing inevitable death,
but the women and children shrieked,
groaned and wept piteously. Fairchild
had nothing but small pistol, and six
inches from his ear was the muzzle of
needle-gun. He says the tears came in
to his eyes, and he mingled his entreaties
with those of the Modocs, in hopes that
the massacre might be avoided. He
adds: at was terrible scene-one |
never shall forget, l shudder when |
think what | saw and heard. The tear
| full voices of those women and children
still ring in my ears" But the coward
ly hounds were not to be banked. A
shot, and Little John lay dead in the
wagon with bullet in his brain. The
mules dashed away with Fairchild, who
became entangled in the lines. Five
more shots were fired in rapid succession,
by which Teehee Jack, Pony and Mooch
were killed, and Little Johns squaw
frightfully wounded in the shoulder.
The warriors killed we're not charged
with murder, but had participated in
the open fights. Every one at the mil
itary headquarters condemned the butch
cry, though it is not reported that any
steps had been taken for the apprehen-
sion of the guilty parties.

The American Journalist Of Philadel'
phia, takes strong ground against that
portion of the new postal law taxing the
people on their county papers, and also
the tax on exchanges, and insist that
the last tax is only by forced construc,
ton and calls upon the Post Master
General to construe the law as was in
tended, and not in accordance with a
trick of certain Congressman who, in
their wrath at giving up their franking
privilege, made stab at the country
newspapers, for the sake of making the
law odious. Very few even of the city
press, supposed to rather favor the law,
defend the new measure.

The PolarIs Investigation.

The investi cation by the Navy depart
ment by an examination of those rescued
is private, but it is reported from state
ments thus far made, the separation
of the vessel from the ice foe was pure
ly accidental instead of being effected
with generalization that there is not the
slightest reason, from the testimony thus
far taken, to suspect any poisoning, mu'
tiny or heartless desertion, and that Els.
quimaux Joe never told any such story
as has been attributed to him in regard
to the death of Capt. Hall. We trust
for the honor of that expedition and oul
country that this will prove true.

THE PoLARIs INvEsTIGATIoN.-Th
is no longer any doubt that the expedi-
ton will prove to have been Of great ben
eft to science, even should the Polaris
never return. The desk which Esqui-
maux Joe brought back proves to con-
tain the short official report of the sledge
journey by Captain Hall. This was his
last work before his death, and is in his
own hand. Signal Officer Meyer will be
able to construct map with the aid of
his diary, assisted by his memory. The
geographical knowledge of the Arctic
regions will consequently be much in
creased. The Polaris was separated
from the ice foe at moment when it
was found that the ship would be crush
ed by the ice. The crew were engaged
in removing provisions from the deck to
the foe in anticipation of the crash.
The survivors think that the machinery
of the ship may have been injured SO
that the Polaris could not go to the res
cue of the ice foe party, both parties be-
ing in an equally helplessly condition.
The statement that the Polaris was I'M
seaworthy is untrue. Engineers at the
Navy Yard say that the Polarls was as
strong as wood and iron could make her.
