GOOD REASONS
" ny Lumber and Salt ShOuld Not be
or the Free List.

The representatives of coal, salt and lum-
Der interests will see that the House votes
advisedly on Mr.. Morrison's proposition
to put these articles on the free list. Rep
resentatiye Horr, of Michigan, has already
made a preliminary statement concerning
the two latter articles before the Ways and
Means Committee. He said if salt was
placed on the free list American manufac-
turers of the article would be compelled to
20 out of business or cut down the pay of
employees fully one third. The tariff on
lum Der, he said, affected thirty states.
Protection on this article only affected the
price of tine coarser grade, as Canada pro-
duce none of the better grades. The price
of the coarse lumber is now low. To make
il lower, Mr.. Horr asserted, would compel
lumbermen to reduce wages fully so per
cent. ss that is the difference between Can
ada and tie United States. The argument
is used that the duty is TO be removed TO
protect the forests, whereas the fact is that
IN Michigan the forests must be cut TO save
them. Fires started by settlers run through
the pinsries and kill the timber. 70 save
that. Mr. Horr said, it is necessary to lum
Der the forests within one year, otherwise
they are attacked by grub worm, which
rel deIs them unfit for use.

iDE Committed

Special 10 ne Register.
WAsuryGIoS, March 5-The sorrowful
chap ter of the Jeannette expedition fitted
out by the New York Herald for the Polar
exploration, was suppose to have ended
with the Court OF Enquiry appointed by
the Navy Department to enquire into the
case Of the vessel and the conduct Of its
officers AID men, but there now seems to
be a certainty that the incidents Of the ex-
psdirion most to be regretted are to 6e re-
viewed again before a Congressional COM
mittee. Ever since the report of the Naval
Committee was msde DR.. Collins, brother
of Jsrcma J. Collins, one Of the men lost
WITH De Longs party, has been working to
., clre a reinvsstig CATION, and the House
has finally ordered ULe to be made by the
Committee on Naval Affairs.
Jerome Coliius WAS in charge OF the New
York Herald weather report department
in 1879 when the expedition started and
Joined it as meteOrologist and correspond
ent for his paper. He got along badly
with De Long, the commander Of the ex-
petition, and was put under arrest for al
legged subordinstion, and it is claimed was
further deprived of his instruments and
appliances Of his position as meteorologist.
When the steamer was crushed and sunk
he was given place in the boat with De
Long, Amber and others and perished
with them from starvation and cold during
October, ISL. There is no charge against
De Longs management, other thaa his
treatment of Collins which was justified
by some of the witnesses before the Naval
Court of Enquiry, but it is alleged that
court suppressed testimony and ruled ont
questions calculated to bring out the true
history of the expedition; that this was
notably the case with references to the &C
tion Of Melville, who was charged with
failure TO use proper means to succor his
comrades after his own party had reached
= place of safety, and that the whole in
yestigation as then conducted was cslcu
lated rather to cover up and conceal rather
than develop the real facts in the case.
Under the proposed congressional investi
cation there is not likely TO be much re-
preston of testimony and the public may
expect full exhibit of the details Of the
eNpedi lion witch are most 70 be regretted.

Department from Prince Bismarck he will
be informed of it, and will be recognized by
Speaker Carlisle under privilege and will
speak. 'The question" said he to-day,
has assumed phase entirely foreign to
that purpose at the time the resolution was
introduced. 1t is now a matter OF retalia.
ton" Ochiltree SAID further, that in view
of the fact that he had known Lasker for
mlny years, and having only few days
before his death diped him, introduced
bin TO the President, members OF the
Cabinet and other distinguished men here
it was but proper that he should have
thrown the little hower-the resolution
upon bis grave. He plaoes Lasker's Lille
along with Gladstone and Disraeli and de.
nips lat he was of the Socialistic order,
and says from 1865 to 1873, he was Bis
murcks staunch friend and counsellor.
