San Francisco, 16.-A dispatch from
Carson, New, says the following will
appear in the Appeal of tomorrow morn
ing: Senator Jones, who is in Carson,
gives an account of Del or g,sAlc ic expe =
dition, which he got from Captain Nei-
baum 10 San Francisco. Neihsum is e
Russian who has been for many years in
the service Of the Alaska Fur Company.
He was the last man from whom the
belong party received provisions. Ha
says: belong left my station at almost
the Borthern point of Alaska, and I fur
nished him at the order Of the Alaska
Fur Company with sledges. dogs and
provisions. he took twenty-seVen dogs
and one Indian. | account for the loss
of the party on the theory that they
killed the dogs. l do not believe
that belong knew anything about
the undertaking he was graphing
with, and he was also ignorant Of
the means by which the trip could be
made in that region. ] see By his diary
that there was but one dog left few days
prior to his death. He must have killed
the dogs without knowing their great
value, and when the dogs are gone there
is absolutely no hope left. The dogs
could not have died nor been lost. They
were killed. 5he ecent of these animals
is remarkable, and they will detect pro-
visions, no matter where they may be.
When men in these regions kill polar
bears and have more meal than they
keep, they cache the meat. 1t sometimes
| lies hidden in the ice for years, until dis
covered by dogs. The ice is full of hese
places. II J GU meet an Indian in that
region and kill his dog he lies down and
| dies, considering that the better part Of
him is gone. Another great oversight
was the neglect to take tina right kind of
guns. offered DaLong a foRling-piece
made expressly to use in the Arctic seas
and calculated to stand the climate, but
he refused it because he wanted g gun
that would kill bears. explained that
he needed gun for birds and not bears.
He would not listen to me and took'the
Remington rifles, the weight of which
hampered him, and they were no use.
He must have seen sea fowl flying over
his head all the time and could net kill
them. His diary says the Indian, after
drawing the sledge all day, would 90 eui
in the night and get birds and he kept
the party alive for two weeks. Any
where you cut hole in the Ice and fash
la light down the fish will swarm, bu
they had no fishing tackle. All theil
chances we're thrown away through
Ignorance. / am not saying a wore
against belong; I liked him personally
but he was not the man to command ar
Arctic expedition. The north pole, in
my estimation, can be reached only BY
following up the warm current, Whiel
lews to the pole, and beyond there is al
open sea. Pat men in such an expedi

Close Quarters win a Wildcat

A frightful encounter with a wildcat
was had last night about midnight at a
saloon on Mill street, ty Charles Baxter.
The ferocious beast was met in the eel
lar by Mr.. Baxter. Bixter had light
in his hand, but a gus of wind extin-
guished it, and almost simultaneously
he heard kissing nose and then felt
the animals claws laerating the flesh
of his face and neck. The. attack was
so sudden and unexpected that he was
for a time overcome He soon re-
covered, however, and a terrible con-
fiict ensued in the dark. The young
man was not long in realizing his des-
perate situation. He clutched his as
sailant with both hands in death-like
grip and commenced ascending the
steps. When near the top the animal
wrenched itself from MS hold and ran
rapidly up the steps mo small apart
ment IN the rear of the saloon known
as the lamproom. Baxter called assist
ance, and in few seconds the animal
lay dead on the floor with a bullet
buried in his brain. 1t proved to be a
remarkably large one, snd desperate
looking beast even in death. How it
came to be in the cellar is mystery
which no one seems anxious or compe-
tent to explain.-Silrer Cliff (CoE.l Re

Postal Savings Bank.

We are glad to see that Postmaster
General James strongly urges the es-
| tablishment of postal savings banks
| throughout the country, and we hope
that congress will give lis early and IA
vorable consideration 10 the subject.
These institutions have met with much
popular favor in Great Britain, where
they have been in successful operation
for twenty years. The banks are open
at all money order offices and deposits
are received from one shilling up, ex-
cept that no person is allowed To de-
posit more than a hundred and fifty
dollars in any one year or run up his
| total account beyond seven hundred
and fifty dollars. Interest is paid at
the rate of two and a half per cent. a
year and begins to rnD from tie first of
the month after deposit. One con-
venient feature of the system Is that
| when a depositor wants money he is
not apliged to draw from the the office
where he deposited, but may get it at
any postal bank in the UHted King
dom. Another advantageous arrange
ment, which WAS first tried about a
year ago, and has become very popular
among the poorer depositors, is that
twelve penny postage stamps stuck on
! a slip of paper prepared by the gov
ernm ent may be deposited for a shil-
ling. The extent TO which these insti-
tutions are used by the people is shown
by the fact that in 1879 the number of
banks had increased to six thousand,
the number of annual depositors to
nearly three and half millions, and
the total amount of yearly deposits to
fifty million dollars. The open ac-
counts at the beginning of 1880 num-
bered nearly two millions, while the
amount standing to the credit Of de-
positors was hundred and sixty mil
lion dollars.
We believe that postoffice savings
banks would be even more successful
and popular In this country than they
have proved IN Great Britain. While
they would be great advantage to the
people they would be substantial gain
to the nation, by encouraging habits OF
thrift and economy among the masses.
The postmaster-general refers TO the
significant fact that In the greater part
of the United States there are no saw
ings banks and not likely to be any. To
the people who are thus deprived of all
proper means of saving their earnings,
postal institutions would seem to be a
necessity as @ell as boon. But even
In the most populous cities, where
private savings banks are not wanting,
government repositories would be ex-
tensively patronized, particularly by
the poorer Glasses, for the obvious rea-
son that the depositors would have ID
the government q confidence and q
sense Of security greater than in any
private concern. however well man
aged.-K Y. Herald.
