THE JEANETTE.
why Dr. ColIfns, OF MlsneapeIis, Asks
for a Congressional Investigation.

MNNEAPoLIs, July 26.-Dr. D. F. Collins,
Of this city, brother of jerome Collins, who
lost his life with Lieutenant DeLoBg, COM
mander OF the Jeannette, was interviewed
by Tribune reporter regarding his letter to
Representative Washburne, and his reasons
for asking Tor an Investigation by Congress.
DIR. Collins went to New York and met
Danenhower on his arrival there, and had
several extended private conversations with
him and with DR.. Newcomb, and his charges
are based on these interviews. DIR. Collins
charges that after the Melville -Danenhower
party reached place of safety, Danenhower
asked permission TO search for DeLong and
party. Melville refused, and ordered Da-
nenhower south, saying he would make the
search himself. Melville soon after went
south himself without making the search
and remained south until receiving instruc.
tions from Washington to return north, and
DIR. Collins alleges that all circumstances
since developed. showed that had Melville
made an energetic search at the beginning, or
permitted DaneHhower to do 30, DeLong and
his party would have been saved. Collins
also alleges that jealousy existed among the
officers of the expedition, such made
failure certain from the start; that entering
the ice pack was an inexcusable blunder;
that in the retreat inferior boats and instru-
ments were taken, the better ones being left
on board. He also alleges that the provi-
sions with which the Jeannette was fitted out
was inferior in quality and quantity. DIR.
Collins concludes, "Danenhower is anxious
for the investigation, and will have strong
evidence to present. He expressed to me
willingness to tell the whole story to an in
yestiga,ing board, but will otherwise keep
closed mouth. DIR. Newcomb is also ready

STARTLING EPISODE

room very assiduously. 1t was a sultry day,
and he laid down his pen. Lost in thoughts,
he approached the window and looked out.
Suddenly the idea struck him TO climb ON
the ledge and to stretch himself lengthwise
on the narrow stone. Overcome by the
heat he fell asleep. Passers-by horrifed
ran 10 inform his mother. Mattresses and
pillows were hastily placed in the
street below the window-momentarily the
child was expected to fall. To wake him
seemed hazardous. The inmates of the
house feared to enter the room lest the noise
of the creaking door should cause him to
move. Below the horror spectators
watched him, the Roman Catholics in the
crowd crossing themselves Now he is seen
to move his head-the mother, scarcely able
to control herself, takes of her shoes, creeps
up the stairs, cautiously opens the door,
steals to the window-the crowd below hold
ing its breath-and successfully draws the
boy inside the window. Below the people
shout, '.Hurrsh for Madame Heinei'-but
the boy tells her that he had dreams of
angels. and birds that sung pretty melodies

KRASZE T. WSKI.
The Much Persecuied. Russian Poet
the Friend OF the People.

The Russian government has alwaya
watched with suspicion the movements of the
venerable poet Kraszewski. Shortly after
his marriage the poet settled on his estate in
Volhynia, where he continued to live under
police supervision until about twenty years
ago, when upon repeated applications for
leave to travel the Russian government per-
mitted him TO settle in Dresden. A short
time ago the seventy-yesr-old poet
asked Count Ignatieff to be allowed
to visit his wife, who Is confirmed in
valid unable to leave her room in Warsaw.
He received the answer that he must apply
to the car directly. He at last undertook
this disagreeable task; and after waiting for
over three months for reply was told that
be might visit Volhynia for short period
but under no circumstances was he 10 visit
Warsaw; and should his journey occasion
any demonstration he would have to hold
himself responsible for the consequences
The grandchildren of the poet, whs lost
their father and mother in Siberia, remain
with their grandmother. The permission to
visit his estate is of course no value to the
poet, and he will most probably be denied
the happiness of again seeing the mother of
his children in this life,

DOUBLE SIGHT.
A Singular Case I'm which . Number of
Respectable People Were
Concerned.

In Vermont, ILL.,, week before last, says the
DesMoines Register, occurred the death OF
Mrs. Emma Enochs, wife of Thomas G.
Enochs. The circumstances connected with
the death are strange indeed. On the 26lh
ultimo she gave birth to child, but some
months before the birth Of the child she had
presentiment that she would not survive
ii, and so firmly was this fixed upon her
mind that she made arrangements for her
funeral, making her choice of the minister to
perform the burial service and asked that
some of her early companions should sing.
When the child was born she gave evidence
OF recovery, and when the physician visited
her he found her laughing and joyous and
hopeful. He lefther, expecting that she had
passed the most critical period. In about
three hours after the physician left her ehe
cried out and her brother ran to her. She
clasped him around the neck, told him she
was dying, and in few moments she ex.
pired. On the same morning of her death
her mother, who resided in Lewiston, ILL.,,
some distance from Vermont, arose early
and stated that she felt that some calamity
was impending. The family laughed at her
and thought nothing of it, but before the
day was done she received q telegram an
nouncing her daughters death. What is
still more strange, on the morning afterward.
several gentleman relatives of the deceased
were talking together, all ignorant of her
death. Their number was Joined by another
gentleman, who asked alter her health and
that of her parents, and remarked upon the
fact that he was present at the wedding of
Mr.. and Mrs. Enochs, but while they were
talking the telegram was received announc-
ing her death
