Charles Nordhoff sends some interesting
Intelligence in reference to the opinions
entertained in Washington about the pro-
posed expeditions to the North Pole. which
are exciting so much attention in Ger.
many and England. Bismarck and Dis
rael seem to be striving for precedence in
solving the problem that surrounds that
vast ice.bound region of the north. The
expectation that this administration would
send out an expedition is not confirmed.
Secretary of the Navy Robson says the
consent of congress would be necessary to
such an expedition, but the cost would be
comparatively small, aud that the navy de-
partment could furnish all the material re-
quired. There Is already Mt the WashnC.

VIEWS OF SECRETARY robson AND ADJ
MIRAL PORTER.
The secretary is convinced that no expo
dtion can be successful that is not under
naval control. He believes that il Cap
tain Hall had been simply an explorer, and
if his ship had been managed by naval
officer, lie could have finished his proposed
work. He promises to assist any move
ment on the part of the Geographical soci-
ETY. or our citizens generally, TO induce con-
gress to give the necessary authority to
enable the sending of our flag as soon as
possible to the pole.
Admiral Porter has written a letter on
the subject, showing his hearty sympathy
with the proposed explorations. He be-
licves that no vessel could succeed that
was not built for the purpose that steam
power is Indispensable that naval disc-
pine should be maintained and that the
expedition should be under the command
of an officer and with seamen from the
navy. The expeditions from different
countries should go in company The dan
gers of arctic investigations are, in his opln-
ion, less than commonly supposed.
