SURVIVORS OF THE JEANETTE.
Six of the Crew at Yakutsk---De Long
Not Found.

WASHINGTON, January 12.-FreIinghuy-
sen, Secretary of State, has just received the
following telegram from Hoffman. Charge
d'Affairs at st. Petersburg, respecting the
fate of the Jeanette and crew:
Danenhower and five Of the crew of the
whaleboat arrived at Yakutsk on December
18th. They were comfortably lodged and
all their wants supplied. Melville and six
men were expected soon. De Long and the
crew Of the first cutter were not found on
November 10th, the last date Boulanger re-
ported. The Jeanette was caught In the
pack on October l, 1879. and drifted with
the winds and currents till June last, aud
was then abandoned.
New YORK, January 12.-The Heralds
Washington correspondent says: Admiral
Rodgers, on being shown the dispatch about
the Jeanette, said:
| am delighted to hear this news, but
cannot give any definite opinion except as to
the safety of the party which the Heraid's
cablegram mentions as having arrived.
Everything, however, is to be hoped for the
best, since Russia Is exerting herself, backed
by the influence of the civilized world, in
the direction of her own efforts. The prob
abilities of tn. missing boat having found
refuge somewhere Oh the northern coast of
Siberia seem exceedingly good, also of It's
being assisted by the inhabitants along the
shores, who are said to be knd-hearted and
hospitab'e. They are poor, but are able to
provide for a boats crew. The absolute
safety of part of the crew gives q bright
hope for the rest.

THE FRENCH CONSTITUTION.
Gambetta Offers Bill Containing Import.
ant Changes.

PARIS, January 14.-In the Chamber Of
Deputies o-day Gambetta assembled the tri.
bune and read his bill for the revision of the
constitution. The principal points of the
bill are as follows:
Election of life Senators by both Cham.
bers voting separately, instead of by the
Senate alone; Instead of Senatorial delegates
being chosen by committee, one is to be
elected by each 500 electors; the principle
of the scruten de- liste TO be inscribed In the
Constitution, the details to be subsequently
settled by an ordinary bill; the Senate to be
deprived of the power of restoring items
stricken from the budget by the Chamber of
Deputies. The final clause of the bill pro-
vides for the discontinuance of public pray
ers at the opening of the Legislature.
The preamble says France has manifested
by the recent elections the desire for wise
and moderate revision of the Constitution.
The scruten de Hste Is a corrollsry of univer-
sal suffrage, and will give security in vot-
ing and independence of action. 1t there
fore becomes necessary to settle this ques-
ton promptly. Matters Of detail and appli-
cation are reserved for the end of the pres
ent legislative term. This announcement
In the reading of the bill was interrupted
by various marks of approval or dlsspproval.
Ganbetta added: We shall prove to you
in discussion in the bureau that vital in-
terest 10 at stake. We will not ask urgency.
We eau decide that after preliminary consid-

Elaine's Big Project.

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE Suns
Washington special says: A new chapter in
the history of Blaines diplomatic career has
come to light. His attempt, undertaken
without the sanction of the President or the
authority of Congress, to create great
American league, has stirred up good deal
Of feeling. His friends still insist that If the
Administration had been wise 1t would have
retained him aud his policy. It Is now
known that he wrote two letters. one directly
to the South American Governments, with
out consulting with their representatives In
Washington, and the other to our represent
stives besides. The first invited the Gov
ernments to send delegates here and the sec
ond instructed our representatives to urge
the acceptance Of the invitation and to PROM
Use that this Government would bear all the
expenses of the convention. One of the OBJ
jects of the convention was TO concoct joint
tariff, discriminating against all European
countries and la favor of all American Gov
e-nments. The scheme was to form a sort
of political and commercial league between
the United States and South American coun-
tries. The European legations in South
America we're put on the Qi uire at once,
and it was easy for them to throw obstacles
In Blaine's path. Their commercial and
financial influence In South America was en-
tirely too patent, aud the projected confer
ence Of American powers was nipped in the
bud.

Political Cos sip.

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE Grdphic's
Washington special says: II is believed by
Secretary Kirkwood's friends that he Is to be
rendered first-ciass foreign mission when
his successor is appointed.
There is no doubt of the Presidents in
tention to appoint Sargent Secretary of the
Interior. The delay Is not owing TO a hitch.
but iG is for special reasons that have their
origin in the appnintee himself.
Whether kirkwood will be offered the
Berlin or Vienna mission Is not announced,
but IL is currently believed that IL is one of
these two, as it is said upon the authority Of
Senator Harrison that John G. New is to go
to st. Petersburg to succeed Colonel Foster.
There is good deal of gossip within day
or two, since attention was called to many
vacancies In relation To probable changes in
diplomatic services. Ii is understood the
Secretary of State and the President have q
number of names on the slate for various
places, and when it has been adjusted entire
il is predicted the nominations will be in .
bunch. John Baker is to go to Chill to take
the place of the late General Fitzpatrick,
and Marshal Pitkin, of Louisiana, Is to be
sent to Mexico. George A. Sheridan is
talked of for Consul General at Montreal, As
we'll as q Illinois politician whose name
has not leaked out. He is said to be per-
sonal friend of Senator Logan. Report has
it, too, in this connection that Judge Denny,
now at Shanghai, China, Is to be promoted
to Pekin, and Mosby will be promoted from
Hongkong to Denny's place.
General Burbridge's friends are pushing
him for the Belgian mission, but with what
success there Is no indication.
There is some talk, also, of sending Ba-
deau back to London, and of giving Merritt
some other place equally as good.
1t Is understood also that Cramer, now In
Switzerland, may be promoted TO the Porta-
guese mission, and Stanton Consul General
to ST. Petersburg.

Washington special says: The hearing in the
cases Of persons recently arrested for con-
spiracy TO defraud the Government by means
of worthless bonds submitted with bids for
the star-route mail service, will begin I'm the
police court tomorrow. Boone and the
other defendants have determined, 1t is said
to night, to confront the representatives of
the Government In the police court and OPP
pose them there with all the power at their
command. They will waive none of their
rights and will not allow their cases 10 90 TO
the grand jury till they have made q hard
fight in the police court. 1t is believed by
some that the hearing will continue for
many days. Ii Is reported tonight that the
defendants will be represented by all the
prominent counsel who have heretofore ap-
peared for other persons accused Of fraud
connected with the star-route service, in
Guiding Hon. jeremiah Wilson, Colonel

WASHINGTON, January lit appears
the report that Associate Justice Samuel q.
Parks, of New Mexico, was transferred 10
Wyoming to make more advantageous va
cancy for the appointment of Joseph Bell, Of
New York, As Associate Justice Of New
Mexico, was incorrect. Senator David Davis
says Judge Parks was removed to Wyoming
Territory at his own request. Judge Parks
is an able judge and eminently fitted for the
place he holds, but the climate of New Mex
leo was hurtful to his health. On this rep
resentation the President, being unwilling TO
lose the benefit Of Judge Parks's ability and
experience, transferred him to Wyoming,
where there was vacancy. Judge Parks
was lifelong friend of Abraham Lincoln
and David Davis, and every one is satisfied
with the change. II 1t had not been made
Judge Parks would have resigned. He
asked for the transfer, and Judge Davis pre-
scented his request to the President and
urged IL.

EaIlurea of One Week.

NEW YORK, January 13.-R. G. Dun 4
Co., Of the Mercantile Agency, report the
failures throughout the country during the
past seven days at 203, the largest numberin
any one week for more than twelve months.
The reason for the increase probably is that
large numbers of persons, insolvent toward
the end of 1881, for various reasons contin-
ued to hold over till after the opening of the
new year and are now trying to compromise
and settle up before spring. This seems to
be particularly the case In the Southern
States, where the failures foot up seventy
four; in the Western States, fifty; in the
Middle, forty; Eastern, twenty-five; Pacific
Coast, seven, and New York City, fifs@en.
No failure of particular significance occurred
In New York during the week.

Deadwalls.
BERLIN, January 10.-The majority of the
Conservatives in the Reichstag will support
Windthrist's motion abrogating the law for
bidding the exercise of ecclesiastical func-
tions without Government authority. 1t is
stated that Bismarck will anticipate the Lib
erals, who desire to debate the rescript, by
formally submitting the document to the
Reichstag. The Government intends TO pla-
card the rescript in all parts Of the country.
The Conservatives of this city are agitatiu z
In favor of an address thanking the Empe-
ror for the rescript.
LONDON, January l0.-The Ne,cs says that
International politics are the subject of un-
favorable attention on the Stock Exchange.

to revolution, while the designs Of Prince
Bismarck may also have caused some uneas-
mess.

Northern Pacific Railroad Grants
New York, January 1.-THE Northern
Pacific people here say, In reference to the
bills introduced In Congress affecting their
land grant, that the same tactics were resort
ed to at the last session of Congress, and
they expect to see them repeated for two or
three years to come. The feeling on the
part Of the officers of the road is that Con-
gress cannot possibly be brought to wrong
the 800 stockholders who have put $40, 1000,
900 into the enterprise on their faith in the
Governments promises, by taking from
them land irrevocably granted, but not yet
technically earned, through which they are
constructing the road with the aid of
thousands of men, and doing sll in their
power to finish IL by September l, 1888.
Ex-Secretary Schurz says If he was In Err
ror In his decision concerning the land grant
the error was supported by the opinion of
the Attorney General, who was consulted
before the decision was made; by Congress,
which, during two sessions; permitted the
decision to stand and be acted upon by .
majority of the House Committee on Pacific
Railroads, which reported concurrence la IL
by the Department of Justice, which recent
ly gave an opinion confirming it, and by
President Arthur, who ordered 1t to be furth-
er acted upon.

The Senators Private Secretaries.

WASHINGTON, January IA number of
Senators are laboring strenuously for res
olution providing for private secretaries by
Browne. The Democrats generally are
ready to vote for 1t because they do not now
feel responsible for Senate legislation. Its
chances of success in the Senate have visibly
improved, but the House may defeat the pro-
ject. Although the House cannot vote upon
the resolution, they can prevent the increase
of the contingent fund which would be nee
essary to pay the secretaries. Members of
the House say Senators do not need secreta-
ries any more than they do.
