Polar eoverfes-Murder Charges.
New YORK. September 30.-A cable spe-
cial from London says that the Schwatka
discoveries, The Jeanette expedition, aud
polar rnstters generally, continue to be the
leading topics OF discussion In English
Journals. Among the latest contributions
10 the literature OF the subject Is letter from
Commander Cheyne In reply 10 an article In
the Standard few days ago, in which that
journal questioned the taste OF bringing
home the remains OF Lieutenant Irving, OF
Franklin's expedition. He (Cheyne) ex-
presses his satisfaction that the bones Of
that officer have been brought back by Lieu
tenant Scbawatka, and thinks that when they
arrive In England 1t will be necessary TO
hold an inquest in order to ascertain the
cause OF his death. On such inquiry being
held he declares he will reiterate the charges
against the contractor who furnished the
! supplies, and whom he accuses OF the MUIR
der OF the Franklin party. Cbeyne has
been making these charges In lectures and
addresses since the return Of Vares's expe-
dition, but the papers here have usually
left out the name OF the contractor, fear
ing action for libel. His charges against
the contractor are OF the most start ing
character. I" II was not the Arctic re-
gions that sent Franklin's men 10
the next world" says Cheyne. "They
were murdered by the contractor who
supplied the expedition with preserved
meats. The same contractor supplied
Sir james Ross expedition, and the tins
labelled beef and mutton contained no.
thing but offal. Some OF the tins contained
nothing but big knuckles OF bone. Every
thing belonging to animals was put into tins
except the horns. boots, and hides. Their
very eDtrails were there, and when they ale
them they had TO hold their noses, so offen-
sive was the stencil. III Sir James Ross and
his party had been out another winter they
would have starved. | have repeatedly IN
my lectures throughout England denounced
this contractor as murderer and dared him
to bring action for libel. / should be glad
to have him do so. for | cap establish the
truth OF what say"
The Disaster 10 the Steamer Campus.
LONDON, September 30.-Advices from
Keil Bay state that two unsuccessful at
tempts were made on Monday to float the
steamer Campus. Portions OF her cargo,
comprising the most valuable goods, have
been put aboard lighters. The cabin pas
sengers and many Of the Storage passen-
gers have been landed. The steamer has
as yet sustained no damage. Thus far 500
tons of the cargo have been discharged, but
the vessel is not yet on an even keel. Each
hour lessons the chance OF floating her, for
in the event OF heavy sea from the south
ward, and in the present direction OF the
wind, she will be very likely to break up.
Another attempt will be made TO float her
to-day.
