the special object of the search, recovery
of the records of the Franklin expedition,
which according 10 Esquimaux testimony
were known to exist at specified point,
was not attained, The explorers have new
ertheIess obtained many relics of the
Franklin party, Including the remains of
Lient. irving. They have, moreover,
carried out TO the letter instructions oI
the PROMOTER ofthe expedition, to make
it geographical success The largest
sletge ride on record, both in regard to
time and space, has been achieved III the
face OF plienoncnally cold weather aad
deprivation of customary food. Impor-
tant rivers and coast have been discov-
cred, and serious errors OH former charts
have been corrected. The adventures of
the Schwatka expedition add pages of
interest to the romance of relic explora-
ton and furnish all the world is ever
likely to know of the fate of Sir John
Franklin. The conduct of Capt. Barry OF
the Eathan in reference to supplies of
food intended to be deposited for the
expedition, is unaccountabie and needs

supplies on their return came near

sarily restricted to any particular season
of the year for that purpose, but can
travel at any time and in the same way
which natives travel.
Chinese Labor at North Adams a Complete
Failure
The Daily Netrs' North Adams special
says the experimet of running the Samp-
son Manufacturing Co.'s shoe shop at
North Adams, Mass, with Chinese labor
has proved u failure, and the last celestial
has departed for Il more congenial field of
labor. A short time since Mr.. Sampson
was in this city. He then expressed
himsels much better satisfied with Chin
ese than Caucasian labor, as he said it
was steadier and more dependence could
be placed upon it. He does not now
give his reason for abandoning the pro-
ject.
