WHOLLY AMERICAN UNDERTAKING.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer. July 81
Yesterday the steam yacht Jeanette sailed from
San Francisco for Behring Strait whence she will
begin her Arctic journey proper Her equipment is
as complete as knowledge. experience and human
judgment can make it. and Lieutenant DeLong her
commander. has crew and corps of assistants spe-
cially selected for the work in prospect The hope
Is that through this expedition the Northwest pas
sage viii be thoroughly surveyed the Arctic regions
mapped out. valuable meteorological discoveries
corded, and last. but not least the region Of the
North Pole reached and explored The project is
wholly American. and the results will rebound to
our credit, whatever they may be; but they will

AMERICAN SYMPATHY AND GOOD WILL.

From the Baltimore Md American, July 81
The Jeanette, which sailed yesterday from San
Francisco for Behring Strait on her cruise of dis.
covery in the Arctic regions carries with her tho
good wishes Of every American. The utmost care
has been exercised by the projectors of the enter.
prise in the selection OF and IN the fitting Of
the vessel with every kind Of scientific apparatus
which could possibly assist i'll the attainment of her
object or in rendering the ful her voyage
OF value to future laDorers i'll the same icy fields
The long list OF failures OF attempts to reach the
North Pole does not augur well for the success OF
the project but If it is possible to do it by pluck,
perseverance, and present .entihc appliances the
Jeanette will succeed. tf
