 the Jeannette Board this morning was
 mainly taken up in reading the tran
 script of Melville's testimony ln yester-
 days examination, and will probably be
 finished this afternoon. Dr. COllIns left
 Washington this morning, much dlssat-
 isfied with the treatment he received
 from the Board Tn refusing tO allow hin
 cUuHoil. and ruling out nearly all the
 important questions which he submit
 ted, and in failing to push his inquiries
 in the direction he desired. He says he
 will now 70 to New York and ventilate
 the matter through the press. He intI-
 mates that he will soon publish danag-
 ing affidavits rejecting upon the con-
 duct of the officers in charge of the ex-
 petition.
 Melvill s testimony closed this after
 noon and the Board adjourned till Mon
 day. Neville, m his testimony to-day
 said, the course of the officers toward
 Collins was the same as to others, as far
 as he would permit #, out on one occa-
 sion he took offense at some remarks
 made and refused to converse with the
 officers. He said, in reply to aquestiOn
 that Danenhower was present op one
 occasion when a difficulty occurred hs-
 tween DeLong and Collins. It is, how
 ever, probable that DanenhOwer will be
 called to testify on the point. Melville,
 on closing, pli high tribute to De
 Long. speakIu Ji him as a competent
 officer and In-n Ot excellent qualities

 much apprehension exists m the public
 mind regarding the negotiation Cf q
 treaty of this country with COrea, and
 much as he might desire to satisfy the
 public curiosity on the subject, he did
 not feel at liberty at present L. say any
 thing whatever. He added that tine
 treaty correspondence aud tue report ot his acton Ill the matter were in the | hands of the government, and that until | the treaty had been passed upon by the | Senate, It would be manifestly improper | for him to discuss 1t.

 Ists, so far Gs inc Department Is con- cerned, Tor the rumors which have been
 in circulation that CommOdor Schufeldt

The Secretary will rge the reduction of taxation on the round that the large surpluses tempt D eItravagance. He will recommend hat the debt ought not to be paid more ' apldly than 1t becomes due.
