Of the probable expenses Of the

salaries, for instance, they estimate
that 5000 will be sufficient, and yet
the approved bills issued to mem

THE LOST JEANETTE.
DanenhOwer Again on the Stand.

WASHINGTON, October 19-In the Jean
nette Board of Inquiry this morning, after the
reading and approval Of Yesterdays record,
Lieutenant Danenhower was recalled. In
reply to questions by the court, he said that
judging by the experience of whaling
ships and that of the Jeanette herself, the
chances Of getting free after being once
beset in the ice, such as Is usually found off
Wrangel Land, are very slight.
Witness was asked:
''Do you know of anything in the manage
ment OF the Jeanette, which subsequent
experience proved preiudicial, which could
have been avoided?n
His reply was: ''It is question of iudg-
ment which is called for by the Court, and
when | embarked on the expedition / was
to abide by the judgment OF the comman-
DER. and | DO not wish to oppose my judg-
ment to that of the Captain or others, unless
1t Is absolutely required Of me-"
The court was then cleared for consulta-
tion. After half an hours conference the
doors were reopened and the witness was
asked:
care there any material facts relating to
the management Of the Jeanette coming
within your own knowledge which you have
not statedg"
"No, sir"
cat the time the Jeanette entered the
ice pack, was 1t your opinion that there was
fair prospect OF forcing her way through
and reaching land?"
''At that time or during the time we were
entering the pack ice, could not and did
not form positive opinion. would not
care to give my opinion without having
been in the 'crow's nest to get full view
OF the situation. When the Captain came
down on deck it was very foggy, and 1 did
not go sloft."
In reply to a question, witness then gave
an account of the life and amusements Of
the crew OF the Jeanette during her long
ice drifts, Of the scientific observations
taken. OF the work done, etc. He then be-
gan the story OF the loss of the Jeanette,
but had not completed It when the board
adjourned.

THE EASTMAN RIOTERS.
The Governor Reviews the Case of the
Condemned Five to be Hanged To-
pay-Shipman ReprieVed.

ATLANTA, October l9.-No petitions nor
applications were made to Governor Colquitt
in regard to the Eastman murderers. Yet
in view of public opinion being divided, he
sent Colonel Baird to Eastman for the testi-
monY and records of the case, which arrived
last night.
Governor Colquitt and Attorney General
Anderson have just finished an examination
Of the papers, and five of the prisoners will
be hung tomorrow at the appointed hour.
Isaac Shipman is reprleved until more
thorough examination can be made into his
case. The prisoners were detained by the
Governor in Macon this morning for the
above purpose only, and his action will
prove to the world that he was not willing
to sanction a wholesale hanging without a
careful review OF the testimony and court
records in the case. This he has done with
out solicitation, and finds no good grounds
for Executive clemency.
Late to-day Mayor Corput telegraphed
to the Governor that he was apprehensive
an effort would be made to lynch the pris-
Oners tonight. The Governor telegraphed
back to use all means to suppress any inter-
ference with the law. He also telegraphed
Major Wiley to order out his battalion, and
to send forty men or more If necessary. A
large escort left with the Sheriff of Dodge
county for Eastman. The prisoners have
been in Macon Jail for safe keeping.
