| SAILOR " 10 SAYS III HAS BEEN THERE.
st Louis Republican, February l6.
| Captain 4. b. futile, who claims to
have had long and more varied expert
ence as seaman than almost any man
now living, was in the city yesterday on
his way to Washington. Captain futile
is n native of New York. but at the early
age of sixteen ran away from his parents
and Went TO sea and has ever since
| been some thirty-iive years-a sea-
faring man. lie has been all over
the globe, he says, and has sailed. in every
sea and has made twenty voyages to the
Arctic regions. Since his early manhood
he has boon captain OF whaling and sur
veying ships. One of the things that par
ticularly attracted his attention in sailing
northward was that he found the sea
more and more open. especially every
fourth year. lie made his last trip about
year ago, starting from Ilakodado,
Japan. in 4 full-riggcd ship with forty
five men all told. In LATITUDE IS he found
an open sea clear OF ice. In latitude 81
he noticed an extraordinary dip Of the
compass, and on taking soundings dis
covered the cause OF it to be immense
lodes OF Il magnetic substance in five
minerals and fine particles of gold. In
latitude 81 he encountered the ice bel:,
grounded under the water and extending
in height in some places over 400 feet.
1t stretched east and west rs far as the
eye could reach. lie here discovered
that the needle pointed dne south, and
in his own mind concluded that the
magnetic deposit he had passed had
some connection with the direction in
which the needle usually pointed. BY
climbing to the highest points on the icy
barrier he could see directly into M open
polar sea lying beyond. and by tracing
along the, belt eastwaTdly he found Il pas
sage through into this sea, with depth
OF 30 fathoms, or $40 feet. The water
was quite warm, and = gull stream WAS
steadily setting out with I velocity OF
from four to six miles per hour. He
pulled through this passage in whale
boats and found it to he about eighteen
miles wide. In the north part OF this
open sea he found nearly fresh leaves of
plantains, bananas and other tropical
plants floating ON the water and showing
that they had been of the trees but Il
short time. Last October he found
large female whale going north through
the open passage before mentioned and
also SAW migratory birds going north.
In July these birds went back south
with their young. From these facts he
concludes that during 4 considerable
part of the year there is a warm climate
within the open polar sea sufficient 10
produce tropical fruits. In the ice bar
riers on one OF his trips he found bones

ExuLrASr Mutual Policy HoLDERs.-
There il great rejoicing among old policy
holders of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany. The trustees have been forced by an
indignant constituency of the members to
abandon the rebate plan, which was neither
legal nor equitable in its effects. The policy
holders propose now to address themselves to
the defeat of a new plan adopted to cover
the retreat OF the yanquished management.
1t consists Of an apparent reduction Of
rates Is per cent all around. Old policy
holders suspect that their premiums will
only be reduced by means of an equal re-
duction in their annual dividends. New
policy holders will hesitate to enter a con-
Germ which changes its principles every few
months and hazards its polcy-h holders
money by relinquishing its resources.

it necessary for her to pour forth The full

was repeatedly encored.
Mr.. Adams was not in perfect voice, last

the opening Of the third act.
The costumes Of the chorus were snowy
and the singing fair. The famous anvil
chorus made its customary sensation; but
the choruses arc in general nowhere equal

fine representation and was received with
