1t augurs badly for the British navy that the
incompetency shown by the loss of the Van
guard is supported 10y favoritism at head
quarters, as recently shown in the case
of Vice Admiral Tarleton and Capt.
Hickey. The extent of this partialiiy
may be Judged from our London letter
giving the Judgment of the court-martial on
the captain of the Vanguard 1t is apparent
that the strong conservatism of the Govern
ment has led it into n serious blunder
which even the Tory organ refused to defend.
New-York tribune., 1875-10-16

The result in the final trial of what Is known
as the Kelsey outrage case, puts an end to the
hope of furnishing the guilty parties to a crime
which may have been murder The whole
story of this case has never been told, but 1t is
impossible to stinc q regret that no punish
ment is inflicted where there is 50 much eyi-
dence that a diSgraceGul outrage was cOun-
tenanced, if not perpctrated, by people previ-
ously deemed respectable.

A talk with ex-senator Gwin furnishes the
theme of an interesting letter from corrc-
spondent in California. The merits and pros
poets of prominent men in both parties are
freely discussed with reference to the next
Presidential election. DIR. Gwin is not among
those who believe that the third term project
is buried paSt resurrection.

The President having returned to Washing

Until China has actually complied with the
obligations she recently assumed, the quarrel
with Great Britain will practically remain un-
settled. The delays and evasions of the Chi
nese will probably be nearer an end when
they learn of the temper of the British people
who. according to our London letter. are OF
one mind with the Government i'll demanding
ample and prompt redress.

A RE1IARKdB CAREER.

The Freie Presse of Vienna gives de-
tails regarding DR.. Strousberg, who was
arrested at St. Petersburg after failing
for nearly 100000. Strousburg is OF
Jewish origin, his full name being Baruch
Hirsch Strousberg. Born III 1873, IN
humble circumstances, at Neidenburg, IN
East Prussia. he went to London in 1885
after the death Of his father, Here he
was received by his uncles, who were
commission agents, and was shortly
afterward baptized a member
of the Church OF England.
Gifted with great intelligence and energy,
he more or less educated himself and en-
tered journalism. In 1913 he went to
America, where he gave lessons in Ger
man, but finally realized some money by
buying cargo OF damaged goods and
selling them at heavy profit. With
this capital he returned to London IN
1858 and founded several newspapers,
but SIX years afterward he went to Der
lin, where he was for seven
years the agent OF an English insurance
company. In 1864, however, Strous-
berg began to think Of improving ms for
tunes, and having made acquaintance at
the British Embassy, by tins means came
to know some English capitalists with
whom he contracted for the construction
Of the -Insterburg railway. With
in six years Strousberg was making a
dozen lines, among others those of Rou'
mania. He had over 100000 workmen IL
his pay, and had launched out into
other vast enterprises. At Hanover ht
established gigantic machine factory; a
Dortmund and Neustadt he had smeltln;
works aud iron factories; at Antwerp ant
Berlin he built entire new quarters; IL
Prussia he bought ten estates; IN POLAND
an entire county; in Bohemia he pal'
fS00.000 for the splendid domain
of Zbirow, where he establish
ed railway carriage works whicl
employed 5000 workmen. Meantime h
built n palace for himself in the WI
helmstrasse at Berlin, which III decora

1t were to be found works by the frs
German and French artists--Deiacroi,

GERMAN ARCTIC EXPLORATION.

The Germans are earnestly thinking about sending
out new expedition TO the Polar regions. The In
peral Commission, which Berlin from the 4th 10
the 18th inst, under the presidency Of Pry Councillor
Won hoeller has reported in favor OF such under
taking Tie Presidents report is volumnous; but the
main points embodied in the following After
pointing out that scientific questions Of consd-
cradle consequence ia all provinces Of natural
look for solution in the Arctic regions, and
mending the expenditure Of public the part
OF the German Empire upon Arctic expedition, the
commission unanimously adopts the following resolu-
ons. Further exploration Of the Arctic regions is
matter Of material consequences to all branches Of
natural science The commission recommends one
way OF carrying out such exploration the establishment
OF fixed stations OF observation with central station
directing the entire SYSTEM These stations to DO
turned for exploratory expeditions By land
and by sea q The commission assigns as the region
in which the proposed exploration on the part OF the
German Empire 70 take place the great channel to
the extreme NORTH situated between the OF
Greenland and the west coast Of Spitzbergen
ESTABLISHED
cit will be advisable establish principal station OF
observation the Of Greenland taking ad-
vantage the experiences or the second German Arctic
expedition II Is desirable that in connection with this
principal station there should be least two branch
stations permanently established for carrying on Ger.
tain scientific observations, say at Jan Meyen and
the coast Of Sptzbergen Other branch stations
ought TO be established temporarily BY the central
tion may require. 8 The commission is Of
opinion that It would be both decidedly advisable
moreover perfectly practicable, that the proposed
Arctic exploration should be taken in hand early
the year lS7T, by which time ali scientific
preparations required might DO accomplished
4 Although the commission is persuaded that
the exploration OF Arctic regions conducted on
the above recommendations will lead 10 valuable re-
suits II IL remainsas here advsed-restricted to
the portion between Greenland and Spzbergen still 1t
holds that exhaustive solution OF the problems to
which such exploration addresses itself can only be
looked to from extension the remaining portions
OF the Arctic zone which could only be out by
the participation or other States in the same work.
The commission consequently recommends that the
governments Of such States have manifested in
Arctic exploration be advised of the principles
on which German exploration Is to be conducted in
order that by Of their joining in the work
