REPORTED ILL-FEELING BETWEEN THE TYSON
AND BUpDiNGToN PARTIES.
NEW YORK, October ll.-There Is said 70 be
good deal of ill-feeliug among the members OF
the Polaris party now AT Washington against
Capt. Tyson and party. They seem 20 consider
the reported poisoning of Capt. Hall as charges
specifically made by the Tyson party. and are
much disturbed by tbs idea Tyson advanced
that the separation of the party on the ice Zoe
was intentional. This feeling has sprung up
since the Buddington party learned OF the state
ments made by the Tyson party. Although
prominent men Of the expedition before the
separation were not in accord. the crew were
uninfuenced by their divisions, and did not
CHAMPION any one.
