THE MISSING "JEANNETTE."
Lieut. Berry's Expeditionin In Search ofthe
Lost Steamer to Leave June LIST.


SAN FRANCISCO, April 2l.-The naval
officers composing the Jeannette Relief
Board have completed their work and
submitted their report to the Secretary
OF the Navy. 1t is expected that the
instructions by the Navy Department to
Lieutenant Berry, Of the relief steamer,
Mary and Helen, will vary little, il any,
from the recommendation OF the report.
After reviewing the course which 1t was
known the Jeanette intended to pur-
sue, and the circumstances un-
der which she was last
seen, the report recommends
that the Mary and Helen should leave
San Francisco about June lst, to arrive
at Herald Island the middle Of August.
She should visit ON the way Petropal-
lovsky, for Arctic clothing. dog sleds
and dog food, thence to st. Michaels, to
st. Lawrence Bay, to East Cape, to
Cape Serge Carrin, to Jol Minsin Bay,
TO Herald Island, thence to the South.
east Coast, Wrangell Land, to Sex, for
cairns or other notices from the jean
nette, and examine the coas. for winter
quarters, also the coast OF Siberia, near
the Theuktsch villages. II neces.
sary, the steamer should winter
at some harbor on the south
ern or southeastern end OF Wrang-
ell Land, or on the Siberian coast,
near as possible to Wrangell Land, so as
to make sledge journeys to the east
coas: OF Wrangell Land. Should they
not remain in the Arctic regions more
than one winter, instructions should be
given, subject to the discretion OF the
commander of the relief vessel, Mary
and Helen, described in the report as
new and strong, with speed OF eight
knots under steam and faster under can
vas. She is the only vessel that can be
procured for the purpose that was
specially built for Arctic navigation, and,
with some necessary strengthening, is
the best means in the reach OF the gov.
ernment. The report closes with the
expression of the belief that the Jean.
neite should be considered sale until
the news OF disaster is received.

A BIG SCHEME.
American Cattle and Produce Sent to
Paris by q French Company.

American Cattl0 ana frOuuce cout W
Paris by French Company.
NEw YORK, April 2l.-Leon Chateau
arrived to-day from France. lie said to
a reporter: II have formed company
in Paris for importation OF American
live stock and the venture was met on
all sides with generous response. Our
capital stock is 20,00O.000 francs. A
friend is already in Chicago, between
which place and st. Louis he con-
stantly travels. His business
is to buy horses and cattle
and we shall probably make our
first shipment next month. We eare not
going to lose any time, and we have
chartered an English steamship to COM
ence with. Itis very likely that We
shall buy large tracts OF land in Texas,
and raise our on n cattle, sheep and pigs.
| have also formed another company for
the importation OF ali sorts OF American
products, AMI your silk and cotton
goods, as well as other goods, will find
a yerv large sale throughout France.
The situation at home is more favorable
than it has ever been, as the new French
general tariff contains no prohibitions
at all.

TREMBLING IN THE BALANCE.
A gloomy View of the Prospects for the
Worlds FAIR.

Worlds FAIR.
NRw York, April 2l.-The sub.com.
mittee OF the executive committee OF the
Worlds Fair Commission met 10. day to
draft plan of action for the future.
The meeting was entirely informal, and
although no decision was reached, 1t IL
probable that something definite will be
decided upon before "Wednesday
next, when report will be
made to the general committee.
The sub committe will probably
hold daily conferences, as It is consid-
cred desirable that they reach coDclu-
sion without more delay than can be
avoided. Col. Meyer Asche, one OF the
secretaries OF the commission, was
found in his office, at No. 81 Broadway,
by q reporter to day, and asked what
he thought OF the prospects OF the
Worlds Fair. Col. Asche was very de.
spondent. and he gave the reporter to
understand that there was danger That
the proposed fair would prove failure,
il indeed it was ever held at all.
"To what do you attribute the appar'
ent failure" inquired the reporter.
"The newspapers have not encour.
aged the enterprise sufficiently" was
the reply, land it is too late now to
awaken an interest that would insure
success. To add 10 our embarrassments
the railroads have practically given US
the go by in placing impracticable con-
litions upon their subscriptions. :,
"what do you mean by imprscticable
conditionsf"
well, they have handicapped US in
this way. They tell us that If We will
secure $4,000, 600 on our own account,
then they will add their subscriptions:
Now, il we had 100000, We would
not ask the railroad companies for any
aid at all. Thus far We have succeeded
in securing only q paltry $500, 900 in un-
conditional subscriptions independent
of the railroad companies II is con-
sidcred next TO impossible for US TO
raise the required $4,000 900.
