THE JEANETTE.
A Vessel TO be sent to Her Relief

The Herald expedition, sent out in the jan
been gone eighteen months and no reliable
tldings have been heard from her. Lieut..
Schwatka, who has recently returned from
the Arctic regions, thinks relief should be
Immediately forwarded to the Jeanette.
Apropos TO this the San Francisco Chronicle
of Jan. 18th says: Captain Hooper of the
revenue cutter Thomas Corwin, who, 1t will
be remembered, made an unsuccessful effort
last year to discover the whereabouts of the
Jeanette, expects shortly to be again dis
patchedto the icy north on second expedi-
ton. The Corwin has undergone thor
ough overhauling and repairing upon the
Merchants dry dock, where 1t was found
that her copper had been considerably dam
aged, and that a portion Of her keel, known
as the ''shoe," was gone. She is 1t present
lying at anchor off Washington street wharf.
Capt. Hooper has as yet received no orders
from Washington about making second
cruise, but has his information from private
sources. The Captain places no reliance
| on the stories told by whalers about
seeing the smoke of the Jeanette in
| October, 1879, for the reason that the coal
used in the vessel could not make smoke
which could be seen for distance of two
miles. On the east side of Wrangel Land
the ice closed in early land perhaps the sea to
the westward is clear for space. The ice
to the west of Wrangel Land is deep and
strikes the bottom some distance from the
shore, leaving clear water between the ice
and land Capt. Hooper thinks that Capt.
belong went through this route anti stopped
| by land or ice far to the north. Capt. Hooper
has recommended at Washington the neces-
sity Of starting early in the season, so as to
be at Behring's Straits in time to enter the
Arctic ocean and derive any advantages that
may be taken of open water. He will follow
the course which he thinks the Jeanette has
taken and 60 as far north and, if permitted,
winter there. The officers ana crew of the
| Corwin are all resolute men and experienced
seamen. She will be fully equipped for her
northern voyage and will probably sail about
the first of May.

Death at q Dance.


Los VEGAS, N. NJ, Jan. 1s.-At a ball
given by Mexicans at Los Muel, in this coun-
ty, Saturday night eight Americans attended.
A bitter feeling was engendered between the
two nationalities and free fight took place.
Doc. Hodges and Frank Smith, two Ameri-
cans, from the Watson and Levy tie camp,
were murdered in cold blood. Hodges was
shot twice in the head and once in the chest
and his body snatched by Mexicans. His re-
mains were found next day burned to crisp.
Smiths body was also carried off, being
found next day perforated with balls and
and several wounded. The feeling among
the tie choppers is at fever heat and a con-
fiict may result between the two factions.

The Flood in London .

NEW YORK, January 19.-The Worlds
cable dispatch has the following details Of
the weather in London: Street traffic is
entirely suspended. Not cab or omnibus
is to be seen, and but for the underground
railway there would be no getting about.
Hundreds Of poor families have been made
homeless, the food rising to the heighth of
ten feet. 1t Is thought that much suffering
will result and efforts are being put forth for
their relief. Even the House Of Parliament
is flooded, and at one time it was thought
that it would be necessary to adjourn the
session GU account Of the lack Of quorum,
many members being unable to reach the
building. Biggar solved the problem Of a
quorum by engaging several cabmen at fabu-
lous prices to venture forth and gather up
the members Of the Irish party. There is
considerable anxiety manifested as to the
end "..'

his band. Major Ilges, at last accounts, was
at Poplar river with five companies Of the
9th Infantry, mounted, and two companies
of the 18th Infantry, ready to move forward
to Milk river at moments notice.
Allison, the scout, who induced Sitting
Bull to come to his present camp on Milk
river, left Woolfs Point on the 7th to try
and persuade him to come i'm and surrender
peaceably. he Is successful, all will be
we'll. But If Sitting Bull refuses to surren-
der 1t Is not the intention Of the Government
| to allow him to return to Canada. Major
| Ilges will attack him in front, and If he at
tempts to escape up Milk River he will be
intercepted by the command from Fort
Assinniboine.
Allison is believed to be at the mouth OF
Milk river, at Sitting Bulls camp, endeavor-
ing to persuade him to agree to a peaceable
surrender, but while he talks the troops are
going into position.
The Assinnibone command is composed o
four companies of the 18th Infantry and two
companies of the I'd Cavalry-214 men ant
Ia officers. They are under the command o
Capt. r. S. Morris, of the 18th Infantry, ant

they should be needed. One Calling ant

Twenty-four mule teams carry rations and
half forage to last the command till February
9Th. Another supply train will follow on
Sunday. Two white and twenty Indian
scouts accompany the column.

the most Indictment seasons of the year ever
known at which such an expedition has been
attempted.

The New Premier

CMoAao, Jan. 1S.-The Times Washing.
ton special says: Blaine spends much of his
time, as he always has, with Southern mem
bers, in consultation and chat. The Demo.
Gratis speak well Of Blaine now. Senator M.
P. Butler, in talking about the future premier,
said ave bear no malice against Blaine.
He Is thoroughly good fellow. He has
pitched into us enough, Heaven knows, but
he has never done it in any spirit of malice"
That is the universal talk about Blaine on
the Democratic side. If one desires to hear
Blaine abused, Il is to the Republican side he
must CO. The latest name Of addressing
Mr.. Blaine Is to call him "Mr. Secretary"
This mode of saluting him never fails to bring
forth . smile and merry twinkle in his eye.

Mentor to fire Il of ct the American public.

mlttee on Foreign Affairs having before II the
consideration Of the Grape resolution reaf-
firming the Monroe Doctrine gave hearing
this morning to VIM. H. Webb Of New York
and Mr.. Thompson, late Secretary Of the
Navy. Webb was very decided In his opin-
ion that the political and commercial inter-
ests Of the country would be adversely af-
fected by the construction Of the Panama
Canal and therefore the Monroe Doctrine
should be rcasserted 10 prevent that work.
He also expressed the opinion that the Mica

within four yeazs and e . coss Of go, O0o, 900.

GOVERNOR MURRAY, Of Utah, has issued
a certificate Of election to Allen G. Camp
bell, who polled 1857 vetes at the late gen
eral election, and refused II TO George @
Cannon, the present Congressional Delegate
who polled 1S,568 votes, on the ground a.
that Cannon Is an unnaturalized foreigner
. (2) that he Is q polygamist, and therefore I'M
able to take the oath Of citizenship in good
faith. This action by Governor Murray will
bring up the whole question Of poiygamy. A
contest will take place In the House because
Cannon will not accept defeat without q
struggle, and, therefore, the vital issue raised
by the contumacy VI the Mormon Church
viii be settled. Il is not crcditable to Con-
gress that man living In open defiance of
the law should sit and participate In It's de-
alterations. This fact alone encouraged the
Mormons In their resistance. While they
could send leading member of their church
to Washington 10 represent the Territory In
Congress 1t was clear to them that the anti
polygamous law was intended only as q con-
cession TO public sentiment, and that Ii was
not seriously intended to put It into force.
This view Is further strengthened by the fact
that by reason Of Its loose phraseology, the
law Is practically imperative. It Is designed
10 meet special case and 1t should be made
contain provisions rendering 1t easy to deal
with but 4 general law was enacted under
which 1t u next to impossible to obtain .
