teus court OF inquiry to-day Lieutenant
Cazisry, whose attention was called to the
statement Of General Hazen, that the plan
of landing stores on Littleton Island on the
way north having been discussed with the
officers of the signal service, testified that
no such discussion took place in his
presence, and further more he had
been informed by General Hazen that
the original draft called supplemental in
structions was given by him (Hazen) 10 the
Secretary of the Navy that the movements
of the Yantic might be made conformable
to that plan. Lieutenant Colwell, of the
navy, testified that the equipment OF the
Proteus was miserable, her boilers defec
tive and boats unseaworthy, in fact her
owners were about to send her away for
repairs when chartered by Hazen.
The ships compasses were untrustwor-
thy, and the Captain had no idea OF their
local deviation. The officers OF the vessel,
with the exception OF Captain Pike, were
young and inexperienced IN Arctic naviga-
ton. The boats procured for Darlington
from the Brooklyn navy yard were mIser-
ably fitted out. The chances CT the Gantic
reaching Littleton Island were not such as
would have induced lie witness 70 wait Tor

Ash answered this petition to-day and says
that instead of exercising any influence
over the girl, she, by reason of her superior

that in fact their love was mutual, free and
full. Tamsen, he says, left her fathers
house of her own free will and planned the
elopement, leaving her home ostensbly TO
visit o neighbor and meeting her dusky
lover en- route for Cleveland. Ash says he
represented TO the girl
The Results of Such an Alliance,

was as good man as she ever saw. He
says she lived with him, and then went out
to work to help support him, as he was
lame. He swears there was no compulsion
about the marriage, and that he acted in
good faith, and is ready and willing to sup.
port his fair bride. He thinks she was in
fluenced by her father to take the course
she did. Tumsen is the daughter of Ed

General Coke
Trade.

PIrTsBURc, November 16.-The iron man
ufacturers of this vicinity are greatly dis
appointed at the condition Of trade. The
expectation was that the year would close
with brisk business, but now, in addition
to the low prices which have
ruled for the last eighteen months,
orders are falling oil. The result is that
only one or two mills in the city are run
ming full in all departments, and there are
rumors that in several work will shortly
be suspended entirely. A member OF the
firm of Jones & Longheins said to-day that
there was absolutely no money in the busi.
ness, and he did not see how some mills
were kept out OF the Sheriffs hands.
