The Reported Loss Of the Jeanette

The Reported Loss OF the Jeanette.
NEw YORK. November Sth.-An evening
paper has the following Washington special:
The reported loss of the Bennett arctic ex-
ploring steamer Jeanette with all on board,
telegraphed from San Francisco, is doubted
here 1t is explained that in October, 1879,
two New Bedford whalers-the Vigilant and
Mount Wollaston-with forty men on board
of each, were caught in the pack ice to the
southwestward of Herald Island, since which
time neither vessels, nor any traces of them,
have been reported seen by anybody. The
whalers were not constructed nor equipped
for wintering in the Arctic, and no doubt ex
lists in the minds of other whaling captains that
the two vessels and their crews were de-
stroyed absolutely. The remains of the men
or parts Of the missing whalers, if seen by
the Esquimaux, might readily be mistaken
for portions of the Jeanette or her crew.
Captain Hooper, of the revenue steamer
Corwin, does not believe the Jeanette Is
lost, as she was powerfully built, with q
special view to ice pressure, and SO modelled
that it was expected that the pack would
raise her out of water rather than crush her.
For these, among other reasons, the hope is
entertained that the Jeannette's people will
yet come out of the Arctic in safety.
WASHINGTON, November Sth-The Chief
Treasury Department discredits the report of
the loss of the Jeanette.
The Question of Bringing Chinese from
Cuba to Louisiana.
WASHINGTON, November Sth.-The agent
of the New Orleans and Havana steamship
line was here for some days with reference to
the proposed bringing over of Chinese from
Cuba to Louisiana. to be employed by the
sugar planters of THAT State the obstacles
| thrown in the way by the Spanish authorities
and Chinese Consul have been mentioned,
and the mission of the agent here was to
ascertain if something could not be done
from this point He called at the Depart
ment of State and Chinese Embassy, but
nothing practical resulted. In view of what
he chsracterizes as bad treatmentexperienced
by the Chinese who have settle d in the u nited
| States, the Chinese ambassador says he does
not feel inclined to take any action that will
result in bringing any more of them here, and
as the United States Government desires a
modification of the treaty so as to check
Chinese emigration to California the State
| Department considers that it will not be con-
sistent to encourage such emigration to
Louisiana.
Report Denied.

Cinnamon at work by way of experiment,

particular. In a personal canvass of the
great mills of Paterson questions were asked
as follows First-Do you have any Chinese
labor employed? Second-Have you con-
| templated employing any? They said nc.

pIoyed in any silk or other mills in Paterson
Fourth-In your Judgment, has such employ
ment ever been seriously contemplated by
any? The answer to all was uniform and
indignant no.
