men with them. Should he succeed in
breaking up this conspiracy, he will i'm
pose an obligation upoL the country, hard
ly less than that Of Secretary Bristow. We

joint resolution gotten up by Cox has
passed Congress rendering thanks for ''his
extraordinary patience, prudence, forti-
tudS, enterprise, courage and capacity in
solving, by his researches, many of the
most important geographical problems of
our age and globe"
