the department condemns: First, the agreement
inclosed in your letter of June % between Lieut..
Darlington and yourself contemplating the sepa-
ration of the Yantic and Proteus until Aug 20
second, your failure to accompany the Proteus
from Drisco island after you had there rejoined
her; third, your unnecessary visit to Upernavik
on July % to inquire of the Danish authorities
how the ice was probably moving between your.
self and the Proteus the six days of your delay at
which point would have brought you to Littleton
island before the party of the Proteus went south,
ana fourth, your failure when you found at Lit
Teton island that the demoralized party of the
Proteus had gone south in search of the swedish
steamer Sofia at Cape York, to land materials for
habitation, clothing, and food for The forgotten

Officers OF the United States Steamer Pinta
to be Tried by Court Martial.

Tho secretary of the navy, acting upon the
report of the court Of inquiry into the circum-
stances of the destruction of the brig Tally
Ho by the United States steamer Pinta,
has detached from the latter vessel Ensign
Guy w. Brown and Lieut. Uriah Sebree,
commanding the vessel. They will probably
be tried by court martial tho former for the
negligence which caused the collision, and
the latter for not following tho sinking brig
and saving her crew. 1t appeared from the
report of the court of inquiry that the brig
sank in about twenty minutes, and that the
captain, his wife, and crew were exposed in
open boats Off Nantucket for about fourteen
hours before their rescue by passing vessel.

Intcruieo tcih he Caucus Nominee for chief Clerk.
Tho question whether tho United States
senate will reorganize itself at tho opening
of the approaching session, and If so, what
new officials will DO chosen, is becoming one
of interest. Col. Charles w. Johnson, of
Minneapolis, is still the caucus nominee for
chief clerk Of that body. In reply to a
question, that gentleman yesterday said to q
Tribune representative:
"Thero are several reasons why tho senate
will reorganise. IL is understood that Sena-
tor Edmunds will resign the position of vico
presidant pro tom. in favor of his old friend,
Senator Anthony, who has just beon re-
elected by the legislature. of Rhode Island.
| The senate has had no secretary since tho
! death of Col. Burch, of Tennessee, Mr.,
Shober, the present chief clerk, having acted
as secretary meantime There is clear re-
| publican majority in the senate now, and on
reassembling tho republicans will hold a
caucus and nominate all tho officers. Mr..
Gorham will probably be nominated secrc-
tary the reputed opposition to him among
| republican senators being much exaggerated.
The election of MIR. Riddoborger to the sem
ate from the old ticket will probably result
| in the nomination of Col. Hooker, the present
| sergeant-at-arms of the house, for sergeant
alarms of the senate"
There is no doubt of tho nomination of
John X. Young, OF Ponnsylvanla, Tor eNecu-
| tive clerk Col johnson believes he will
have no opposition for chiet clerk, as the re-
publican senators have twice indorsed him in
caucus for that position-once at the at
tempted organization in 1881, which resulted
in the deadlock, and again in the winter OF
1882 when the democrats attempted to elect
young man from Tennessee, who had been
reading clerk in the house. Col. Johnson'a
proficiency as u reader, and his thorough
parliamentary training obtained in an ex'
| perience of ten years rs secretary of the
Minnesota senate, make his election almost a
certainty in body where these qualifications
are so essential.
