land, says; After leaving Upper Navik,
we strike out in the Ice In Melville Bay,
which Is the most dangerous part Of the
voyage. When we reach the open water
at the entrance Of Smiths Sound we will
then make for Carey Island, and then pro-
ceed up Smiths Sound making a running
survey Of both shores, We shall visit
Captain Halls grave at POlaris Bay, and
then make for our winter quarters, The
Alert, however, will push on as far to.
ward the pole as possible without being
beset, and subsequently return toward us,
wintering not more than two hundred
miles from this Discovery, Both vessels
will then survey with the sledge before
winter comes, In the spring two Of our
Lieutenants with slodgC parties will join
the Alert when n start will be made TO-
ward the Pole with six sledges. One
sledge will leave the party and return
every week or so, transferring its surplus
provisions 10 Others. When the explor.
Ing party Is thus reduced to one sIedge
that will push on alone and reach the
Pole by itself. Who will have this dis.
tinguished honor2 do not know, but II
any 1t will be Commander Markham, Of
the Alert. II this Is done satisfactorily and
all the surveys are completed we shall re-
turn during the autumn Ofnext year, but
II not we shall stay out second winter.
Under any circumstances over which we
have control we shall not stay out longer
than that!
HER2EdovINTAN INsURRECTIoN.
A special to The Times from Berlin says
There il no doubt that oil OF Northern
Bosnia along the river Save is in full re.
bellion. The fugitives who have sought
safety on Austrian soil number $4,000,
and are mostly the wives and Childrep Of
the rebels, who have deserted their vii
lagos and made for the hills.
In Herzegovina the insurgents have
formed national government under Lyn.
bobratchich. The inSurgent leaders have
been assured by their MOntenegrin friends
that very shortly all Montenegro will
come to their assistance.
In Servia the military preparations con.
tinue. At Belgrade the War Office has or.
dered the arms and aCcOutrements Of the
military, including the surgical ap-
paratus, TO be made ready for immediate
inspection. The men have been directed
to provide themselves with three days
food, as they may be called out. Provis.
ions are being stored In the fortress. Ar.
rangements have been made to seize all the
horses in the country. The steady growth
Of the rebellion may be inferred from the
following passage In The Montenegrin
official journal, the GIaS Ctrnagosa'
1.-THE insurrection Is fast assuming
formidable dimensions, and symptoms
Of serious design multiply. The
men arc yearning for war, and oily.
tongued diplomacyis impOtent to prevent
them. This time the insurrection Is sure
to result in emancipation. Not the RI.
lerS, but the nations will decide what Is to
be done. II the rebellion becomes gen.
cral, Servia and Montenegro will not be
idle spectators. Now or never.
THE STRIKE CONTINUES.
The strike Of the mill operatives in
Dundee continues, but II Is believed to be
nearing It's end. Negotiations are In pro.
gress for a compromise, and satisfactory
results are expected soon.

weather has enabled the farmers 10 secure

made Of both quality and yield. This Is
also the case In France. Holland and
Hamburg report that the samples are Of
the highest excellence. Prices In Great
Britain are yet unsettled, the markets In
several places show decline Of and 2
shillings, In France the reduction isabOut
the same. Flour at Parisis steady although
