MORE DORSEY LETTERS.
burglary Promoting journalistic
Enterprise.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-The Sunday
Gazette tomorrow will publish portions Of
two more letters from Dorsey to Garfield,
which have not been heretofore published.
Il says the portions omitted relate to per-
sonal matters, and that these omissions do
not detract from the news value of the let
ters. The Gazette says it has been asked its
reasons for publishing these letters now, and
in reply # would say that, while it does not
believe it owes the public any explanation
or apology, It will state two reasons: First,
a desire to aid Dorsey, who, it claims, has
been unjustly and shamefully abused.
Second, the strong desire. which its editors
personally feel, TO bring out to the light of
day the very curious political Republican
history OF two years past.
These letters, like the ''frczan fact" let
ter, bear entirely upon the formation of
Garfield's Cabinet, and are mainly devoted
to urging Judge Folger's appointment.
Two letters of the same character were
published in to-day's New York Herald.
These letters, the Gazette says, were in type
in its office, intended for publication to-
morrow. but that on Friday night some
person burglsrizsd the Office, took a proof
from the galley, and to-day the letters are
In print.

A SCARE IN NEW YORK.
Vessels from Southern Ports Rum
ming by Quarantine.

NEW YORK, August 19.-Dr. Walter De-
Forest, the City Sanitary Superintendent,
caused general alarm to be sent out from
the police headquarters yesterday after
noon on account of the violation of quar-
sntine regulations by two or three small
Southern coasters, and search was made
for the vessels along the wharves until 6
O'Clock, at which time they had not been
found.
DIR. Smith, Health officer of the port,
said that on Thursday he was informed that
several vessels had gone up to the city with
out anchoring or waiting for an
inspection. The quarantine reguIa-
tions had already been violated
several times In this manner by small
vessels that came no from Southern ports,
principally from the Carolinss, with fruits.
He had given them several warnings already
and the next time that he caught offenders
he would have them punished as the law
prescribed. He was now going to enforce
the rules strictly, as he heard that about
fifty vessels were being laden with timber
at Pensacola where yellow fever now pre-
walls.
Two Southern ships which passed the
quarantine without their papers, and had
taken alarm at the search for them, yester-
day returned to quarantine and passed
through the necessary forms.

Another Boston Horror.

A Boston dispatch, dated August II, says:
"The headless body of a man, clad only in
blue flannel drawers and high top boots,
was found this morning, by man rowing
under the draw Of the New York and New
England Railroad, hanging by the knees
from one of the string pieces under the
track. The man was about SIX 1eet
in height, and must have weighed
fully two hundred pounds. The
head, which was missing, had been severed
from the trunk by some sharp instrument,
as the cut was a clean one, without ragged
edges. Five knife wounds were found on
the back and breast which looked as though
made with double-edged weapon. Ine
BODY was taken to the Morgue, but nothing
was discovered that could lead 70 the
mans identity. The body had not
been in the water more than forty
eight hours. The theory has been
advanced that the mans head was
severed by a railroad train; but IL so how
did the body come underneath the planking
of the centre Of the track, the bridge being
planked over its entire width? The body
could not have been washed upon the
or bad fallen of the bridge It must have
sunk, and would not have come to the sur
face for four or five days. From present
appearances the man was murdered, and
the body placed where it was found, his
head being cut off to prevent Identification.
The police are my5tided, as no one can be
found who saw the man about the bridge,
or who heard any disturbance there.

SAFE FROM ARCTIC SEAS.
THE EIRA'S CREW RESCUED.
The Vessel Lost In the Ice-A Winter
In the Frozen Zone-TheIr Voyage
TO Safety.

LONDON, August 2O-The steamer Hope,
which left here in June last in search Of the
crew of the steamer Ezra, has arrived at
Peterhead with the entire crew Of that YES
sci. The Hope picked them up in Msto-
loschkin straits, Nova Zembla, on the third
OF August, they having lost their ship of
Franz Josef Land, and iourneyed in boats to
the straits through the ice. W. Leigh Smith,
the commander OF the Ezra expedition, gives
the following account of its experiences:
On July 13, 1881, we steamed through
the pack ice, and ten days later sighted
Franz josef Land. On the 18th we started
east to look for the Jeanette, but were I'M
able to pass Ferent's Hook. On August "a
the Eirs got nipped between the land foe
and pack Ice, a mile east of Cape
Flora, and sank before we were able
to save many stores. We built a hut on
Cape Flora Of turf and stones, and covered
It with sails. We wlntered there, and dur
Ing the whole time no signs of scurvy ap-
pesred. Twenty-nine Walrus and thirty. six
bears were killed and eaten. We left Cape
Flora on June 81, 1882, in four boats, sailed
eighty miles without seeing apv ice, and
reached Nova Zembla on August %.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Sad Fate of Returning PIeSs Ssure-
Seekers.

ANAKA, MINI, August 19.-When the
north bound passenger train on the Mani
toba Railroad arrived at the depot here at
1870 o'clock, the engineer reported that he
had struck something at a crossing about
a half mile below the town. A party
went back to investigate and found dead
horse and the fragments of a buggy some
ten rods beyond the crossing. Near the
crossing were the bodies of four
persons, two men and two
women, horribly mangled. The
remains were taken to the depot and
there identified as those of VIM. Hackett,
Jasper Cole, Miss Florence Parker and Miss
Lille Dawson. The bodies were crushed
and bruised so that Identification was diff
cult. Cole alone was still breathing when
found, but he died soon after The men
were apparently twenty-five or twentV-three
years of age, and the girls seventeen.
The party had attended a dance at
Crooked Lake.. about three miles from
Anaka, in the evening, and were returning
when the accident happened. 1t is supposed
that the driver of the buggy attempted to
cross ahead of the train, which runs very
rapidly at this point.

Money at Elections.
Nelg York journal Of cOmmerc

A6lD 1Ofh JOufltOt OF commerce.
10 our notice of the political assessments
levied to provide a campaign fund, we
called attention to the fact that few who
discussed it laid any stress upon the use to
be made Of the money. The hardship to
the poor clerks and labOrers who were thus
made to contribute very considerable per
centage Of their salaries, aud the demorali-
zation certain to result from such a press
ure upon the officeholders, formed
the burden OF the indictment drawn
M against the practice. Some have
gone a little further aud traced cOnnec-
ton between the levy and those dishonest
schemes by which men in office sometimes s
seek to fill their purses ou'side of their
legitimate income. The past records have
been searched to see which party is most
respousible for this method OF filling the
campaign treasury. and charges have been
hurled back and forth between contending
factions as to the comparative thorough
ness and severity with which the old or the
new executed the work.
In the meantime a vast sum of money,
said to amount already 20 more than a mil
lion dollars, has been received from this
source. and Is to be used by the dominant
marty in the coming elections. Who pro-
tests against this scandal For what pur-
pose will this money be expe ded The
legitimate expenses of an honest election
REQUIRE no such heavy disbursements.
1t Is no excuse to say that the Democrats
also use sll the money they can get for the
same purpose. II that is so, tits no defense
of the practice. The Republicans are ia
power. and have the whole weight of off
cial influence on their side. II in addition
to this they levy on those Ia the public SER
vice million or two of dollars, and use this
vast sum where it will be most effective in
corrupting the fountain OF authority, what
hope can there be of a pure administration
II is difficult to tell where the fOulness
will end. If it is not arrested in time, it
will lead to universal Iottenness in all
political life. Perhaps this will be the con-
summation. Corruption ends in decay and
disintegration, and thus opens the way to
new forms of life out of the decomposed
elements. The party doings are already
stencil in the public nostrils, and it may be
that the fiual change is near st hand.

Strange Charges of Bribery.

The Albany correspondent of the New
York Times says: GA genuine sensation has
been created in political circles by the state
ments contained in the editorial columns of
the EOe'etng journal and the ArQus Yesterday
and to-day relative to the attempted bribery
of fGovernor Cornell to sign the E evated Rail-
road tax bill by Jay Gould or his agents. ex-
Senator Roscoe COnkling figuring by innu-
Journal bears marks of having been inspected
by some one very near the Governor,
IL not by the Governor himself. The
references to the Governors relations and
and interviews with Mr.. Conkling during
the Senatorial contest of last year are so ex-
plicit as to warrant this belief. Mr.. Conk-
ling's friends declare that this attack Is not
only libelous Git being reported that Mr..
Conkling Will at once bring a libel suit,
but that it renders Gov. Cornell's renOmina-
tion impossible. They say that at the con-
ference on the Elevated Railroad tax bill, at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, to which the Arqas
refers, Mr.. Conkling appeared simply
as the paid attorney of the elevated
roads, and presented a regular LAWYERS
brief in favor of the measure. They have
advised the ex Senator to publish a state
ment telling exactly what took place at
that time. To an interviewer Yesterday
Mr.. Conkling said that he had not been IN
Albany, and that it was incredible that
Governor Cornell could have been privy TO
the circulation OF such charges. He said
that until he had read the charges. as he
would try to do in the course OF week or
80, he could not say anything further"

Fears of another Indian Outbreak.

TUsCoN, ARIZONA, August 19.-The Star S
special advices from San Carlos say that P.
B. Wilcox, the newly appointed Indian
Agent for that reservation, has refused to
assume charge, as ne found its affairs in a
frightfully confused condition. The commits
sarV and sub agent have suddenly disappear
ed and evidences of gross fraud and pecu-
lariOn under the Tiffany administration are
alleged to be overwhelming.
The Tonto Apaches are very restless. Last
Friday night they had prepared to make
break, but one of their squsws gave the
whites warning, and the MOhsve Aps ches.
bitter enemies of Tonto, were armed and
turned out and prevented the emeute. The
Tontos, It is rumored, offered twenty-five
cents for cartridges on the day they had
fixed for the outbreak.
Matters are assuming a serious shape, and
settlers around the reservation are organiz-
ing, while the anti reservation people are
increasing their force in every section.
Special agents are visiting all of the princi-
pal towns and camps, preparing for action
when an emergency arises.

One Of the two boys who were wounded at

OUR TREATY WITH COREA.
Triumphs of American Diplomacy
Admitted By the English Press.
Pail Nall Gazette.

The conclusion of a treaty between the
United States and COrea adds another to
the peaceful successes OF American dipIO-
macy in the far East. Nearly thirty wears
ago the American Commodore Perry, over
coming obstacles which had bsffled almost
every European nation, and with
out firing a shot or leaving ILL
feeling behind, succeeded in opening Japan
to foreign intercourse. Four years later
Mr.. Townsend Harris, the American
envoy, from the seclusinn of his legation at
Shimoda, without the ''moral" support of a
single gunboat, negotiated the treaty with
the Japanese which has been the model for
all the treaties made up to the present mo-
ment with that people. Two years ago
Commodore Schufeldt, in the course of a
cruise round the world in the United States
war vessel TcOnderogs, called into one of
the Corean harbors with letter for the
King, expressing the desire of the Presi-
dent for treaty of smity and
commerce. Leaving this document, he
departed as peacefully as he had
arrived. When the Coreans had had
ample time to digest his request, and to
consult the suzerain, the Emperor of China,
the Commodore returned alone, and, after a
few months stav in North China, is now on
his way to the United States to obtain the
ratification Of a treaty in which the King of
Corea expresses "his earnest desire TO es-
tablish relations between the two countries
on permanent and friendly footing, and to
''solid substratum of force" on which a
distinguished English diplomatist said our
relations with Eastern countries must alone
rest, has been conspicuous all through the
American officers negotiations only by its
absence.
