THE BRITISH ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

To THIS EDITOR OF THE LONDON Tines
Sm-Snce the paragraph appeared the Times of
yesterday 10 the effect that arrangements had been
made with Captain Allan Young to communicate with
the entrance Smith Sound next summer In the hope
of gaining some information OF the Arctic Expeditions
numerous questions have been put to to the pre-
else objects TO be gained by this communication and
II there is any cause for anxiety regard to the expe
dton II you will kindly publish the following brief
remarks they may afford the necessary Information -:
Captain Mares appears 10 have written from Disco
that he shall direct his second in command Captain
stephenson, Of the Discovery, 10 send sledge party
from his winter quarters in the spring Of 1876 TO
Sound with letters, and possibly another party
In the autumn OF the same year. Captain Allan
Young would therefore carry letters 10 this point in
the summer OF lS76, and bring away any he NAV
find there. The Disoovery's party arriving at the
entrance OF smith sound N the spring will bring intel
gence OF the proceedings Of the expedition up 70 about
the LIST OF April that Is, Of the position of the Dis
coverys winter quarters and TO whether or not the
Alert was able TO proceed in advance OF her In the
latter could not expect 20 hear any further
news OF the Alert unless she wntered very short dis
lance in advance of her consort
fCaptain Stephenson sends an autumn party 70 the
entrance Of Smith Sound may possibly hear the re-
suit of the Discoverys exploring parties for they nav
by that time have returned TO their ship and II the
travelling parties OF the two ships had formed
junction in the early summer OF 1876 might
OF course, receive late news OF the Alert, and
possibly hear whether It is Captain Mares in
tention 20 return TO England In the autumn Of
1ST6 But " must be borne in mind that these two
comuun ications Of Captain Stephensons must depend
very much on the position he has reached and wntcred
CT In 1874 II he has reached high northern position
at the head ofSmh Sound, II is very doubtful to my
mind whether Captain Mares would feel justified in
materially decreasing his force for advance
work by sending a party south with the mere
object o. bringing letters In such
tho sledges would have 10 travel over about
800 miles Of bad ground las we know from the Ameri-
can explorers aud 10 return the distance Then,
again, al autumn or rather late summer party in
wolves boat and a still more dhcult undertaking
Therefore tho depOsng OF letters AZ the entrance Of
Smith Sound IA 1875 must dcpcnd entirely on the
position the Discovery reaches one thing certain
Captain Stephenson will be position

THE PROPOSED STRIKE OF THE sHIPwRIGHrs
AND cALKERs GIVEN OVER.
On New Years Day advertisement inserted in
some OF the papers signed by of firms connected
with the dry interest announcing that after the
LIST of January the wages OF employees would
be reduced from 81 TO SO so per day The
reason assigned for this the stag
nation of business which resulted from the inability to
compete with Jersey City, Red Hook and City Island.
This reduction TO 60 into effect at once and the
employers trusted that their workmen would appre-
cate their position in the matter and give their appro
baton TO the measure.
Yesterday morning the hands assembled as usual at
the docks but when summoned to begin work they
fused and scattered about in knots and clusters 10 dis
Tested, every ono seeming inclined to consider the
matter cooy and decide all future action the
OF the employers proposal dictated.
At two O'Clock T. NJ. the calkers held q meeting at
Botanic Hail. in East Broadway, near Market street
There was large attendance and considerable feeling
was evinced. The proposition Of the employers was
discussed and after considerable debate, during
which objections were made to the legality
of calling the meeting 1t determined
TO defer any specific action till the reg
uar convention, Wednesday next. At Standard
Hall the ship carpenters assembled in large numbers
discuss the situation. Some opposed TO making
seemed TO entertain the opinion that fair opportunity
should be offered them to prove their claims OF being
able to advance shipbuildng in New York frower
labor rates were introduced, and so IL agreed
accept the conditions offered of 80 so per day, with the
prospect of more work in future
