WASHINGTON, June 81, 1873.
The Alleged Theft of Papers from ths
Archives Of tho War Department.
Statements having recently been made that
valuable papers relating to courts martial. army
frauds, &c, had been distracted from the War De
partment, special inquiry was made to-day at the
Adjutant Generals Office and the Bureau OF Mitary
Justice as to the truth OF the reports. The reply
was that the only information on the subject which
had reached'the ofiicer in charge was through the
newspapers The system OF dealing with
all papers received and their preserva
ton was explained, showing that there
could be no theft Of any particular
documents without the connvance OF the clerks
and watchmen, whose character for Trustworthy
ness Is unguestiOned. 1t was also ascertaned that
similar statements of loss abstraction have here
tofore been circulated by persons who have ap
piled for, but have been refused, particular docn
ments to be used for private purposes. The gov.
ernment being the custodian of the archives, have
made use of them only In furtherance OF the public
interests. The Secretary Of War, however, mas
taken steps to ascertain exactly how much truth,
II any, there Is in the rumors and at the proper
time the result will be made known.
Sale Of the United States Yacht America.
The United States yacht America. Of 100 tons
was sold at the Naval Academy yesterday for
the sale to make it valid. The government guar
antees no title 1t Is supposed the for this
ia that there may be some who never gave up their
right to prize money from her when she was pre-.
sented to the government by part at least OF her
captors. There was only one bid.
Criminal Statistics.
The Attorney General has issued circular to
the wardens OF the several pententiaries, calling
upon them, in order to comply with the act OF
Congress requiring criminal statistics arising
under the United States laws, to fill up and return
TO the Department OF Justice the blanks which he
has furnished to them, including the number OF
convicts in their respective institutions the LIST
OF January, the terms OF their respective sen
fences, the places OF their birth, the nature oil
their crimes, the number OF conyicts discharged In
1872 and the minor details OF their Imprisonment

which time Assistant Attorney General Smith will

We print this morning brief letter from
Khartoum, giving the pleasing intelligence
that Baker Pacha has been reinforced and is
pushing toward the great basin Of the Nile with
his imperial expedition. With Gondokooro
as his capital the elephant hunter of Ceylon
sat down to build an equatorial empire. 1t is
lofty purpose, and, in connection with the
Soudan Railway, we believe that its realiza-
ton is not far distant. He has an army for
land operations of over two thousand men, q
navy for the two Nyanzas. engineers, ma
chinery, vast quantities Of cotton seed, and,
what makes the pioneer content in unknown
lands, courageous wife, who has shared the
honors and perils of his long experience as an
African traveller Miami, the septuagenarlan
explorer, is reported as approaching the
source of the Nile from the westward. We
hope he will arrive in time to obtain that re-
oognition which should reward long life of
solitary journeying among the savages of the
African tropics He has been snubbed by the
Biographies! societies of Europe because of his
peculiar views, and his present expedition has
been undertaken to sustain what he believes TO
be just
We perceive also that the viceroy has &C
tually begun preparatory work on the Soudan
Railway, and that he is endeayoring to sup
press tho predatory tribes who infest the Abys-
sinian frontier. Well DONE Africa!

The CHOLERA IN WAsHrNGToN.-Th cholera
is spreading from the West to the East. A
case is reported in Washington. The season
is favorable for its general expansion, and
our city is still in q condition to give full
feast to the dreaded pestilence We have no
time to lose. The time has come, indeed
when, if our city authorities fail to meet and
make special provisions and regulations for
fighting this invisible enemy, our citizens
themselves should assemble in general council
on this momentous subject.

The HEALTH OF THE SULTAN 1t is graft
flying to US this morning to be able to state
that the rumors regarding the serious illness
of the Sultan are without foundation. The
death of the Sultan at the present time might
precipitate crisis which would be injurious
to commerce and to the best interests of civil
ization. For the continuance of peace the
prolongation Of the life of the Sultan is desir-
able, if not necessary.

The CLOSE OF THE JEROME PARK RACES =
The sun beat down heavily yesterday on the
heads of the numerous pilgrims bound to the
Derby of America, Jerome Park; yet the fierce
rays of his celestial majesty failed to deter the
lovers Of sport from this delightful trysting
place. and thousands braved the scorching
heat and the dust to witness the last grand
display of the American Jockey Club Year
after year these races grow into popularity.
They have now become on absolute necessity,
not only to the people of fashion, but also to
the profanum vulgas. The magic name,
Jerome Park, is sufficient to draw into West
chester county the best that New York can
boast Of, and the scenes on the road and at
the course are equally interesting. The last
Spring meeting of the American Jockey Club
was an entire success and its final close yes
terday gave evidence of hearty response on
the part of the public to the laudable exer-
tions of the members Of this honored Associa-
ton.

II is now well understood that grand
Jewish fair is soon to be opened in this city.
The sons of the Society of Kosher Shell Baz-
rel-a powerful organization-are enthusias-
tic in tho matter 1t is their special business
They are putting forth their best efforts and
it is their intention to succeed If success N
possible. The object is laudable. The kesher
Shell Barrel Association has widows and or
phans on hand. The desire is to make them
comfortable. To this end money is pro-
nounced necessary. To get money fair has
been agreed upon, and it is understood that
sixty Hebrew lodges will put forth all their
strength to make this thing triumph. We
know how our Hebrew fellow citizens do
things when they begin When they want 10
buy real estate who can beat them? When
they build private mansions they shame U.S.
When they build synagogues they make
Christianity almost contemplate. Some time
early in the Fall this projected Jewish fair is
likely to be opened. and the presumption il
that it will be worthy of the Hebrew race and
success beyond all expectation. The object
is SO laudable-the making provision for
widows and orphans-that we cannot refuse
ourselves the pleasure of wishing it success.
Unless we mistake the Kosher Shell Barrel
Fair will be the sensation Of the Fall and Of
the early Winter. All such schemes have our
hearty sympathy. and it gives us pleasure to
lend them encouragement and support.
Du CHAnLu.-King Oscar of Sweden and
Norway. while speaking in a kindly and oom-
plimontary manner of Mr.. Paul B. Du Chaillu
during his interesting conversation with our
commissioner, asked ''Where is Mr.. Du
Chaillu now?' We may state here that the
friends Of the intrepid African explorer mani
fest anxiety about him. 1t is generally known
that Mr.. Du Chaillu went early last Winter 70
Sweden and Norway. with the view of explor-
ing and describing the extreme north of Scan-
dinavia in the depth of Winter. He saw King
Oscar on the way. His friends have not heard
from him for several months past-not even
those with whom he resides and with whom hs
was in the habit of corresponding regularly.
Then he was to be in London in the month OF
May. 1t is feared some misfortune may have be-
fallen him. Still, knowing his experience and
endurance as traveller, we hope nothing seri-
Gus has occurred to prevent his return, and
that he will escape the perils Of the bordering
Arctic regions as he did those Of Equatorial
Africa.

why Have Wo No Music In the
Parks9

We are now nearing the month Of July, and
the heat of the weather for the last week or
two has compelled many people to seek refuge
in the great breathing place of the metropolis,
Central Park. We have had perfect deluge Of
municipal reform and startling developments
in this line, but yet we have had no music
in the parks. Plausible reasons nre given for
the deficiency in this respect but they are
utterly illogical. Why stop one Of the princi-
pal and most important elements of public
amusement and instruction during the dog
days on the miserable pretext that certain po-
litical changes have been made and that some
new board of public officers have not been
able to make up their minds to the fact whe-
ther music in the various parks of this city was
necessary or not? The lamest excuses are
made by the new Board of Park Commission
ers. Yet the glazing fact stands forth that we
have had no music in any of the city parks,
although the month Of July is close at hand.
If reform means q breaking up or disagree
able postponement Of public duty then it is
but reasonable to expect that the people will
murmur against it. They want music in the
Central Park, and in all the other parks, from
Fifty ninth street to the Battery, every week.
Will the new Board recognize the voice Of the
people in this respect?

show that this drift wood seen by the Polaris

across the once supposed extension Of Green
land, and the conclusion forced upon Sergeant

to the Pole, will probably be widely shared by
the geographic and general public. 1t will be
seen from the report Of the testimony of
Captain Tyson and Mr.. Meyer that the long
vexed question OF an open Polar Sea has been
put to rest, and that this sea exists in broader
proportions than either Kane or Hayes ever
defined it. The mildness of the climate accords
with Kane's experience north of Van Rensse-

OF Whymper, in West Greenland, while the
