Engineer Melville's Report.
Coiel Engineer Melville sent in his report
yesterday to the Secretary of the Navy, and i t
will soon be published. 1t is graphic nara
tive OF the expedition from the time when, af-
ter parting dinner, the crew separated into
three sections This report therefore, sup
plements reports of the log and De Longs
minutes, all of which were preserved, and this
completes the history of this ill-fated expedi-
ton. The report is accompanied by care
fully drawn chart which shows in detail the
wauderings of the explorers. No one reading
this account of suffering and peril would imag-
inc that person who had endured such hald-
ships would care for repetition of them, but
Ariic exploration has peculiar fascination for
those who engage in 1t. During their impris-
onment III the foe, and when the Jeanette
expedition was already fated to end in failure,
Melville drew designs for ships specially adapt
ed for Polar voyaging in view of future ex-
plorations. The plan calls for ship of steel,
the value of which material was proved by
Nordjenskold, strongly supported by wooden
braces.
ship is very unlike the Jeanette, whose unfit
pess for polar cruising the Naval Board of in
quiry is dealing with as gently az possible.
The Doodle Swindle.
The Secret Service officials are daily receiy-
ing number of letters from different parts of
the country reporting that what are technical
ly known as "bocdle" swindlers are very ac-
tive. The Chief of the Secret Service SAYS the
public would not believe the extent to which
this trick is played upon gulible people. He
is OF the opinion that nearly million dollars
changes hands in the course of a year by such
operations, and that half of this amount of
swindling is done in New York CITY, The
sharpers offer to sell counterfeit money at
heavy discount, but they never do sell it, but
deliver in the place of it humbug package
known as "boodle.'' The Secret Service Off
cars find it very difficult to convict these swim
dlers.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

Republicans in New York

y
Republicans in New York.
ALBANY, Oct. 19.-In a letter read at the
Republican mass meeting tonight Secretary
Foyer says the questions for hesitating Re-
publicans to ponder are "Do the business in
terests of the country look with dread to a re-
turn of the Democratic party to control of
iedSral legislation? Is it well founded dread
and will democratic success in New York in
crease it and give it greater reason for ex-
istence? The Ohio election resulted m gain
to the Democratic party OF several Congress-
men and it is estimated from well founded
data that the day following there was a shrink
age of values of great properties of the countr,
OF over forty millions dollars, and that the
shrinkage has been going on since. Whatever
causes real or fancied there may be for frater-
nal animosity and pickering or lukewarmness or
disgust, yet these are questions for Republic
cans to ponder and decide whether tkey can in
duty to theil country so act as to bring the
political party of their attachment to defeat,

The abstract Of Nevada Jones' speech
on the ANTI Chinese bill in another column
indicates q Republican recruit in favor
of white supremacy in this land as against
any and all other races. The speech, the
correspondent of the Nesos and Courier
says, created marked sensation in po-
litical circles. 1t was a very strong anti
Chinese argument The few speeches
Senator Jones makes are always worth
listening to, but the heart of the produc-
ton was that part touching on negro suf-
frage in the South. 1t was the outcome
of that white supremacy theory necessi-
tated by the anti-Chinese agitation which
| have already endeavored to make plain
to you, and it was the boldest utterance
on the suffrage question which has been
made in Congress for many years. Com
ing from the warm personal friend of the
President, it gains additional significance.
More notable still is the fact that while
the air was yet vibrating with his fervid
words, dozen of his Republican col
leagues of the Senate and the House rushed
to congratulate HIM with enthusiastic
warmth. The opinion is everywhere ex-
pressed, save in the extreme Republican
coterie of sentimentalists, that this speech
is the most logical, the NEST able and the
most conclusive which has been yet heard
on the race question"
