Bennett to 20 to the Relief of the
Jeannette.
New York, March 16.-Among the
stories that are current here, is one
that James Gordon Bennett is seriously
contemplating an arctic expedition.
Larry Jerome, who is in Europe with
him, has Irecently written to friend.
that while Bennett is enjoying himself
greatly as master of hunt somewhere
In England, yet he is very much de-
pressed and anxious over tho arctic
expedition which he equipped and sent
out in the name of the Herald. He
conceives it to be his duty to ft out an
other expedition in search of the lost
one, and take command of it himself.
He has already telegraphed to stop the
work on the new yacht he contemplated
building in this country. and thinks the
money he proposed to expend that way
should be devoted to the building of a
vessel constructed with view to en-.
countering ice in the northern seas.
Already he has had some interviews
with Scotch ship builders on the sub.
iect, and therefore the news that Ben.
nett has seriously entered upon this
new project may be expected at any
time. 1t is characteristic of Bennett
that execution follows closely upon the
heels Of conception.
