THE JEANNETTE.

Secretary Hunt to-day telegraphed
Lieut.. Danenhauer at Irkutsk, Russia, as
follows: "Owing to the condition OF your
health the order to remain and search Tor
the survivors of the Jeannette is revoked.
Return home, bringing the invalids with
you"
Nearly 100 navy officers have asked to
he ordered on the search for the Jeanette
Survivors. The general zeal is highly
creditable to the navy. The Secretary OF
the Navy. received cable from James
Gordon Bennett, Paris, suggesting that
Danenhauer be called home, he will prob
ably lose his sight If he remains. IL he
comes home he may regain his sight en-
tirely. Bennett thinks also that it is un-
necessary for the government to send
man from America to pursue the search,
as his own agent is now on the
way to Irkutsk, commissioned to use
every possible means. The Russian gov
ernnent has also adopted the steamer
Lena at his disposal. He makes the sug-
gest1on entirely without Danenhauer s
knowledge The Secretary, in accordance
with the suggestion, has ordered Danen-
hauer home and cables Bennett that he
considers it the duty of the department to
send officers from here, thus making every
effort for the relief of the distressed men.
Lieutenant Harber and Master Shuetze
sailed to-day from New York to Europe,
to search for the Jeanette survivors.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The Grand Jury
made report this afternoon that there
was not sufficient testimony to sustain the
charge of gambling, etc, against the
Board of Trade and bucket shops. The
evil of jury packing seems to have been
grossly exaggerated and is a rare thing in
this country. Many of the gamblers are
indicted, including Harkins Bros. and one
Gibbons. The jury mention the fact that
the Mayor allows and defends open gam
bling houses and expresses the conviction
that the police are authorized to protect
gamblers IN open violation OF law. Gam
bling cannot be suppressed without the CO.
