French Tribute To Bennett and
HIS African and Asciic Expedi-
aion-.
PARIS, July 22d.-At a meeting
of the Soci+t6 Geographique held
last night. Louis Simorei, engineer
aud traveller, introduced the sub
ject of the departure OF the Arctic
steamer Jeanette, and spoke
warmly of the services rendered by
James Gordon Bennett in the cause
of science and progress. He dwelt
on the results of the Stanley expe-
dition to Africa. Not content with
these, he said Bennett had fitted up
at his own expense and generously
placed the Jeanne.te at the dis
posal of the American Govern
ment, TO solve another great geo.
graphical problem. If Captain De
Long and the picked men with
him fulfilled anticipations, it was
probable the expedition would be
attended with the same happy re-
suits as those to which Bennett
had already attached his name and
fortune. 1t was interesting and
instructive to see a journalist at
tempt alone an enterprise in which
Governments had been unable to
succeed; and, not content with
what he had done in Africa and in
other countries, thus courageously
undertake, with his own single re-
sources, the conquest of the North
Pole. The address was received
with warm applause.
