ICY POINTS
About the Lost Jeanette and
Her Crew.
The Men Undergo Fearful Sufferings.-
Last Records Left by Lieuten-
ant DeLong.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Melville's
report of the Jeannette search to the
State Department is in substance as fol-
lows: De Longs instructions, dated
Cape Emma, Bennett Island, August 5th,
1881, were that the party should go south
to Alegnetee if over ice, and if in boats
to the Siberian coast, and make for the
mouth of the Lena. If the boats got
separated the understanding was to 90
for the Lena and up stream to the settle
ments. The boats separated on the night
of September 18th, 1881, 80 miles north
east of Bukain, and Melville reached
Lena September 10th, and Beurkoff Sep
tember 26th. He tried to get up the
river with native guides, but the ice and
the exhausted condition of the men com
PEELED return. The natives gave them
quarters and a quantity of fish and de-
cayed geese. On October 8th a Russian
exile discovered them, and divided his
food and went back and told the COM
mandant. October 2Sth the exile re-
TUNED with supply of food, and word
that the cOmmandant would be at Beur-
kOff November 1st with deer and sleds to
rescue the party and take them to Belum.
The exile on his return met two of the
first cutters party at KumOTt. Melville
at once started for Belum to intercept
the cOmmandant, but missed him by
hOuer, whose eyes had recovered, in
charge of the party, with instructions
to follow Melville to Belum as soon as
possible. Melville reached Belum NOYem-
ber I'd, and found the two men in an ex-
hausted condition. From them he
learned what had occurred after the
separation up to October 1st. The latest
anything was heard of De Long, his
party crossed the Lena to the west bank
October lst, to hunting lodge called
UsteTday. The toes of Erickson being
amputated because frozen, he was drawn
on an Impoverished sled and hauled by
his companions hardly able to walk be-
cause of frozen feet and legs. They pro-
ceeded south again, crossing the Lena,
having to wade. Erickson died October
9th, and was buried in the Lena. The
party was then in a deplOrable condition,
having lost their dOg-meat, and being
ON an allowance of three ounces Of alcO-
hOl per man per day, but proceeded
south until October 9th, when De Long
sent Nirderman and NerOs ahead to seek
re''"f These two men, after fourteen
,..y terrible suffering, reached Bulcem
and were cared for 10y the COmmandant.
Here they sent a dispatch to the United
States Minister at st. Petersburg. The
c0lpmandaDt aftqrWavd supplied Mel
VIE, November 81, at .BmanOup. At
Upper BelUm the natives gave Melville
De Longs record, left there by De- Long
Melville says, from all circumstances he
believes De Long and party are to the
nOTthWard of the Lena between Sister
Aueck and BulcOur, and asks authority
to organize a search for the parties.

DIED FROM STARVATION
After Doing without Food for
SiXty-twO Days.

On the 18th inst, near JeitefsOnyille
Ind, in the County Poor Asylum, where
she was sent siXty-tWO days before she
died. Anna Maria Hermann, of starYa-
tiOn, having eaten nothing all the time
she was there. From a stout person
weighing 200 pounds she was reduced
to about 80, nothing but skin and bone.
A dispatch from JeffersOnville says: Miss
Hermann was lady of superior intelli-
gence, native of Germany, and for a
time taught the language in this city to
a few voungsladies. One day in January
last she suddenly became violently in
sane and was arrested. She requested
the aTresting officer to kill her, as she
desired to go to heaven without delay.
When this was refused her she deter
mined to die by starvation. She was
sent to the insane department of the
Clark County Poor Asylum near Charles
ton. The visiting physician and Super
intendent used every effort in their
power to induce her to paTtake of food,
but to no purpose. One day shortly
after her arrival at the asylum she ate
portion of an apple, but since that
time the Superintendent AYERS that she
partook of no food whatever. She would
drink little water once a day for a
while, but lately has been unable to re-
tain water on her stomach. Many per-
sons have doubted the statement of
Superintendent Balbeck to the effect
that she had tasted during the time
stated, but as he is a responsible and
truthful gentleman, his statement can
not be successfully cOntradicted He
said to reporter: 81 am certain she has
not taken drop of water or a morsel of
food withoutmy knowledge. frequently
we would place food before her at night
and it would remain undisturbed. Some
times we would put nOurishment in the
water, but she would spit it out as soon
as it touched her lips. She wOuldIdTink
nothing but pure water, and am posi-
tive that during the sixty-twO days she
remained in the asylum nothing was
given her but what l have stated" For
two weeks past Miss Hermann has been
greatly reduced in strength, but retained
her senses up to the last. She cOnversed
intelligently on Tuesday, and when a
doctor called to tsee her she remarked,
81 did not send for you, and as you are
intruding, 1 wish you would retire"

JOHN sHERMAN's RECORD.

The wash made use of to retrieve John
Sherman was poor stuff, but it was as
good as the circumstances would admit
of. The facts are these: The commit
tee found that, as the evidence stood be-
fore them, it would be impossible to
save Sherman. There was positively
nothing for them to go on. 1t was an
unbrOken chain of evidence against
him. Unless he could show some way
of escape, he must take the cOnse-
quences. He could swear in his own
behalf.
John Sherman did swear. He claims
to be cleared. The giyers of the damag-
ing testimony had no motive for impli-
eating Sherman; for by so doing they
condemned themselves. Every motive
with them was in favor of clearing
Sherman, for they would so clear them
selves.
If the committee concludes that John
Sherman is pure and deserving of ac-
quittal, then it must conclude that he is
the last man who should have presided
over the Treasury Department; for the
committee do not hesitate to say that
dishonest practices were continually
going on in connection with the con-
tingent fund. AS it was the manage
ment of that solely they were charged
to investigate, of course no testimony
or opinion was given as to what are the
facts regarding the management of
other things. Inference is Inevitable,
however.
The public will have to conclude
that the Sherman Bureau" was run at
the cost of the Treasury; that work was
done on Sherman's houses from time to
time; that an architect worked ten days
for MIR. Sherman; that cabinet-makers
made furniture for him; that subOrdi-
mates in the department did variety of
things for him in a variety of places, all
of which was paid for out of the Treas
ury. The public must conclude that all
this was without knowledge or priYity
of John Sherman, or it must conclude
that he was blind and ignorant to an
extent utterly cOnfOunding to any preyi-
Gus conception of the man.
The committee judiciOusly abstain
from opinion OF comment, ending up
with recommendations very much like
tho verdict, mot guilty, but he must
no. do so againl'-N. Y. Sun.

THE MCKINLEY QUESTION
OF VERACITY.

ParsOn Peterson is the political
preacher who runs the Warren Tribune.
Amounted of God as a shepherd of his
flock, ne fOTsakes his post of duty and
runs off to the neighboring hills to have
a little fun with the boys, lea ing the
sheep entrusted to his care, to go to the
devil if they choose. There is heap of
fun in politics, and the parsOn likes
fun. But as is usual among that class
of preachers who take to politics, the
parsOn is considerable of demagOgue,
but finding his peculiar tactics not very
popular among the intelligent voters
of his own country and district, he
casts abOus for a more cOngeniaI field
for the display of his talent. He looks
over the fence into the 18th district, and
finding a congressional fight brewing,
hastens down to Washington and ten
