THE RECORDS OF THE GRERLY PARTY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The records and
relics Of the Greedy Arctic expedition, which
were brought to New York and then turned
over to the authorities at Governors island,
were brought here to-day, and delivered to
the chief signal officer. They will be used by
It. Greedy in making his report of the expe-
dition and by the chief signal officer in max
ing his report to the secretary of war. The
collection includes all the records of scien-
tific work and discoveries of the Greedy party,
their instruments and private papers and the
diaries of the members. When the expedi-
ton was fitted out every member was sup
personal records of the events Of their stay
in the Arctic regions, with the understan ng
that their records were their personal prop
erty and not subject to the supervision of
Lieut.. Greedy or anyone else. Seventeen Of
them have been preserved. Their contents
will be considered confidential between the
government and the writers, and while por-
tions of them will be used IN making up the
history of the expedition, nothing they con-
tain will be made public until Lieut.. Greely's
report of the expedition is completed. Gen.
Hazen says it may be year before Greely's
report is finished.
THE MISTAKES OF KIsLINGBURY's 8 RELATIVES.
DETROIT, Aug. 15.-C. s. Clark, guardian
of the children of Lieutenant Kislingbury,
in an interview this forenoon said: ''If
brought to such point of starvation, think
it unfortunate, and the men would have
been thoroughly justified in doing so, it may
be before he died Kilsingbury was forced to
do likewise. 1t is, to say the least, cruel to
criticize in the manner that has been done
the unfortunate party on its return from the
horrors of exile. The friends of Lieutenant
Kilsingbury made a sad mistake, in my
judgment, when they permitted the body to
be exhumed." He stated the relations of
Greedy and Kilsingbury were most cordial,
and stories to the contrary unjust and un-
true. He basis his belief in this on CONVEX
sations with the different survivors.
THE CHARGE ADMITTED.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Third Officer Kelly,
reports of eating the flesh Of Lieut.. Kisling-
bury and Private Henry were true, as the
survivors when brought on board were all
but delirious, and admitted they had to eat
the dead bodies to preserve their own lives.
The cook of the Bear said all the survivors
stated they had to eat the flesh of the dead as
all their food, except a little leather or seal
skin, had given out. The men on board the
Bear knew the bodies had been eaten, but
were told not to speak about it when they
got into port.
WAITING TO HEAR FROM HENRY's SISTER.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.- Coroner Robinson,
of Long Island City, has written Miss Dora
Buck, at Lincoln, Neb., the sister of Private
Henry, asking if she desires his remains ex-
amined. If she replies affirmatively the
coroner will have them examined by Doctors
Burnett and Hitchcock. Since the result of
the examination of Kislingbury's body the
citizens of Long Island City are greatly ex-
cited, but the coroner refuses to exhume
Henry's body until authorized by his sister.
