to-day for the purpose of constituting an act
Of the legislature intended to set apart fund

the words "matured coupons" The board

The DE Long-CoIIins Inquiry.


The subcommittee of tho house committee
on naval affairs, which is investigating the
Jeanette expedition, continued the exami-
nation Of Seaman Nindemann yesterday. The
purport Of his testimony was that Capt. De
Long took the wrong course to reach the ST.
borian coast attor tho destruction of the vos-
sol that IL ought TO have been reached in 300
miles, whereas the route sailed over was
more than 600 miles; there was halt
OF eight days at Bennett island, and If 1t had
not been for this delay, tho Lena delta would
have been reached before the storm occurred
in which Lieut.. Chipp's party perished.
When they left their boats they abandoned
their shotguns, but carried three rifles with
them. II they had took the shotguns
instead Of tho rifles, they could have shot
ptarmigan, of which they saw probably 400.
Tho witness said that he himself was put
under arrest by Capt. De Long for having
shown dissatisfaction and clenched his fist,
when fault was found with him for being un-
able to fasten raft with O few bits of rope,
so that il would hold together The captain
tailed. In his opinion, If Melville had gono
north from Belun along the Lena he might
have found De Longs party.
DIR. Collins then took the witness stand and
explained the circumstances under which he
had loaned Fireman Bartlett $50 in New
YORK. Whon ne sought an lnvestgatlon into
the treatment of his brother hy Capt.
De Long, Judge Advocate Lemly told him
that there were charges against his
brother on file in the navy department. and
perhaps 10 would be bost to let the whole
matter drop. Lieut.. Danenhower told him
when at the Fifth Avenue hotel in New York
that his brother led HI Of a life in the
Arctic, and if he (Danenhower) had been
treated as Collins was he would have gone
over the ships side.
