Lieut.. Darlington in a report to the chief
signal officer gives additional particulars In
regard to the management of the Proteus,
wrecked in the Arctic ocean while on an ex-
petition to the relief of Lieut.. Greeley and
party, which tends TO show that Capt. Pike
was not careful and skilltul navigator, as
has been supposed. Darlington. however.
does not charge Pike with any neglect or bad
judgment in connection with the mp by
W hich the Proteus was crushed. That, he
regards, as a pure accident He connrms,
however, the statements first made BY Com
mander WiIdes Of the Yantic, with regard to
the behavior of Capt. Pixies crew. At the
first alarm OF danger, he SAYS. those on duty
Abandoned their posts and ran to save their
own property in the forecastle. and as soon
as the stores began to go over the ships side
they commenced to appropriate everything
they wanted. breaking open and rifiing boxes
and bags of private clothing and stealing the
contents. Capt Pike said in reply to Lieut..
Garlington's protest, that he was powerless
to prevent the plundering of the ship and that
the men of his crew were "the worst lot or
scoundrels he ever saw" In explanation to
his course of starting southwark after the
wreck of the Proteus. instead OF waiting Tor
the Yantic, Lieut.. Darlington saws that he
first did not think the Yantic could reach Lit
Teton Island through such ice as he had en-
corntered and he expected to find at Cape
York the Swedish steamer "SOphia" and
avail himself of her assistance for carrying
out, Notwithstanding the disaster, the plan
for Lieut.. Greely's relief. With regard to
much discussed supplementary order, Lieut.
Darlington says: 1.-The only instructions
ever received are the original instructions

per was enclosed in an envelope with my in
structions. This paper was simply an au-
thenticated copy of the memorandum, COM
pared by an officer of your office. | was in
formed that this memorandum was to have
been furnished the secretary of the navy to
form the basis of instructions To be given the
commander ordered to accompany the Fro

signed 1t had no official marks whatever,
and never at any time regarded it as an
order and was surprised to find the statement
published that this paper was supplementary
instructions" Gen. Hazen. in transmitting
Lieut.. Darlington report to the secretary of
war. has written a letter in which he says
1.-The question of supplementary orders re-
ferred to by Lieut.. Darlington as having been
raised, and in unfdirness to himself is, in
substance, correctly stated by him and the
structures made upon him 50 tar as the refer
to the question of disobeyance have been un-
warranted.

THE Sen ATE COMMITTEE.
VIM. Matthers Speaks on Technical an ID
Industrial Education.
Boston. Oct. 10.

BOsTON, Oct. 10.
Before the Senate committee on labor and
education today, Jno. Keegh, printer of
Fall River, formerly mill operative, testi-
fed to the harmful effects of mill work on
the health of the operatives.
VIM. Matthers, member of the English
royal commission, appointed to inquire into
the condition of technical and industrial edu-
cation in the various countries of the world
with view of improving the condition of
technical and industrial schools in England,
said he had visited 20 cities and $50 educa-
bonal establishments in this country. He
thinks there are some very fine institutions
for technical education in the United States,
at the head of which stands the Mass. Insti.
tute Of Technology; but those institutions
are more for the purpose of turning out the
chiefs or captains of industry and art than to
educate common people.
One of the greatest needs Of the United
States is a system of industrial education
going on side by side with the common
school, which shall teach not only the use of
simple tools, but the elementary principles
of the service which underlies all industrial
art, and which will form the subjebt of labor
in the after life of the pupils. He says the
United States is great country, and all
mems chances here the greatest in the
world.
Charles II. Dalton, treasurer of the Amer
lean Cotton Mill Lowell, spoke of the diff
culties in the way of Americans in finding
markets, owing to the superior facilities of
England by her great shipping.
Robert Howard gave some statistics sup
Elementary to his former evidence given in
New York
Chas J. Chance, currier Of Lynn, testi-
fed that he bad been active in the organiz,-
tior of trades union and had been a black
lister among the employers and had found il
hard to obtain employment. There are 2OOO
tanners and curriers' iu Massachusetts, trades
union; whole number of that trade in the
United States is about 10000 Has heard
for 20 years of human skins being tanned
about here has seen five or six such tanned
skins within three or four years, the last
about year ago, woman's skin so perfect
a. to be unmistable. He stated the name of
the tannery and persons who saw it.
Albert C.. Carlton, member of the knight,
Of labor. favored eight hours for a DAYS
labor. He regarded the telegraphers strike
a. success in calling universal public at,
tention to monopoly.
Charles P. Harrington, an officer of the
stone cutters union, favored the eight hour
plan, discontinuancs Of convict contract sys-
tenn. payment of wages weekly and abolition
of all payments in truck.
Geo. w. Warren. banker and merchant. of
Boston. spoke for currency based on gold
alone
Col. Carroll D. Wright added to the rea.

earnings Of the factories could not be divided

the quarry pit, made mis-step and fell down
the terrible distance of l2O feet. striking on

For the past several days Secretary
Chandler has been carefully considering
the circular ordering the changes in the
naval uniform. He has received advice
and suggestions from number of promi-
nent naval officers and has about made
up his mind to effect some notifications
in the circular. The principal change, it
is understood, will be to restore the
shoulder straps. which were to be abolish
ed, although they will be of a different
character from those heretofore worn
Various designs for the engineer, pay and
medical corps are being considered by
certain officers to whom the Secretary as
signed the duty. Some minor changes in
the caps will also be made. When the
Secretary has decided upon the details of
the notifications new circular will be
printed and adopted at once. There is
not nearly so much opposition to the
change now among naval officers rs there
was at first. Many upon learning that
the changes were only made for the sake
Of uniformity, and were not radical, have
withdrawn their protests.

General Raum, who was for more than
six years most efficient Commissioner
of Internal Revenue. makes some sugges-
tons in The North American Review re-
garding the civil service. Not being in
sympathy with the civil service reform
movement in all its features. General
Raum is anxious to show the excellent
condition Of the service under the partisan
system. He shows that. in the Treasury
Department. of total force of $3.50. 1856
have served twenty years and upward /;
425. fifteen years and so on. the average
tenure being nearly ten years. In the In
ternal Revenue Bureau the terms of SER
vice of nearly one-halfrange from thirteen
to twenty-one. He seems to think the ten
years, average too high, for while he con-
cedes that the competitive examination
will be beneficial. he restates the idea Of
ten urged by him in his official reports
that there should be four years term
for clerks. who would be eligible for re-
appointment for another term of four wears
This idea. fortunately, has never found
faver in Congress. 1t would afford clerks
limited sense of security during the four
years. terms, but limiting service to eight
years would introduce Just that system of
rotatation which it is the aim of the new
law to break down entirely. As for the
present civil service, the fact is that it has
been, especially of late years, as good as
sny service could be expected to be.
