THE JEANNETTE INQUIRY.
Testimony Before the Committee Yester-
day.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Seaman Nindermann
continued his testimony here before the subcom-
mittee of the House naval committee to-day. Wit
said that if the survivors of the Jeanette had
been under proper guidance and control they would
not have had to make journey of more than 300
miles in southeriy direction from where the
Jeanette went down to reach aid and succor. He
thought it was twice that distance from where the
ship was lost to the place where the bodies of De-
Long and his party were found. There was q delay
Of eight days at Bennett Island during the retreat
They were ENGAGED part of the time in mendiug
their boots. Witness had heard protests against
this delay. Had it not been for this delay they
might have reached the shore before the coming on
of the gale in which Mr.. Chipp was lost.
question tending to show that belong did not
act with Judgment and discretion during the retreat
was objected to by Mr.. Arnout counsel for Mrs
belong, but after some discussion the committee
ruled that it had power to investigate the whole
subject.
Ninderman then summed up his testimony. The
only compasses taken in the boats on leaving the
ship were surveying eompasses, which were Of no
use IN a rough sea. He thought the captain had a
hasty temper. No commissioned officer of the
Jeanette stood the deck watch to his knowledge.
In witness opinion if Melville had gone north along
the Lena from Blum he might have reached De-
Longs party.
Dr. Collins then testified to his relations with the
naval court of inquiry. When he sought an in
vestigation of belongs treatment of his brother,
Judge Advocate General Remy and Judge Advocate
Lewly, of the Navy, suggested to him that there
were charges against his brother file in the Navy
Department and that it would perhaps be best to
let the whole matter drop, investigation would
not 90 either panty any gop M hew said
dropped. Witness replied that he wanted to have
all the facts concerning the expedition known. In
later conversation Mr.. Lewly said to him that he
had better not go before the court unless sent for
and that he Qewly) would put any questions witness
said and would reserve the right to object to any
that reflected on any dead man, or whish he deemed
improper. Witness must remember, he said, that
this was naval court martial, and that everything
would be looked at from a naval standpoint.
Witness then related a conversation which he had
with Lieut.. Danenhower, in which the latter had
said that witness brother had led hi of life in
the Arctic, and that il he had been treated wit
ness brother was he would have gone over the
SHIPS side. Mr. Newcomb had told him that he
and Mr.. Collins had been treated with every out.
rage and indignity; he also told him that Mr.
Danenhower was badly treated.
"Who told you some of the seamen were afraid to
testify before the court OF inquiry because of the
power of the navy?'
"The official stenographer of the COURT replied
witness.

PortIand's Trade with New Hampshire
and Vermont.

EAST dARDWICkl W., april q 1868.
To the Editor Of the Press:
Dear Sir w. D. L., in his history OF Port
land and its trade fifty years ago, says in your
paper OF the I'd of April, this: "In 1884 the
business of our city was conducted on a CON-
paratively small scale. Middle, Exchange and
Fore streets. Market square and Huckler's
row being the principal business centres. Its
country trade was then largely from Vermont
aud New Hampshire (now there is very little
tain Notch during the winter season, and from
Cumberland, York and Oxford counties in the
winter, summer and autumn.
This is not correct statement. So lar as
the trade of the State OF Vermont and New
Hampshire is concerned.
Portland's trade with these states IS now
more than five times the amount in value that
it was in, 1884 and think may safely put that
ten times. Nearly or quite one hundred sales
men travel over New Hampshire and Yer
mont from Portland, soliciting trade, and we
get it too. In MAY, 1865 commenced selling
goods for the har lware house of Haiues q
Smith, now Smith, Tibbetts y Co., Portland,
and we sell more than twice the amount of
goods in New Hampshire andffve times the
amount in Vermont that we did in 1865. In
May, 1880, 1 extended my route over the P,
& o. II R., as far as East Fairfield, nearly to
New York. At that time We sold no goods
west of the Connecticut river. Now we shin
to every station on the line OF the road from
Portland to East Fairfield, VT. I think W.
ID. L. is mistaken in his statement If he is
not, will he please explain what he means by
nov there is very little from either, referring
to the trade OF Vermont and New Hampshire.

were infected 1t was a skin trouble and some of
the sheep were without any wool whatever. Nearly
