EXPLORING Hudson lSny.

On July 2?d there sailed from Halifax
the Neptune, an expedition for which
the dominion government passed vote
of $4,000. Its object is to obtain 1elia.
BILE information us to the navigability of
Hudsons bay and straits, and to deter.
mine the feasibility of the adoption of
the route as summer outlet for the
produce of the northwest. 1t is unneces-
sary, writes the Toronto Mail correspon-
dent accompanying the expedition, to
repeat what has been said over and over
again regarding the Importance of the
question we have been sent to solve, or
as to how it will affect not only the
Canadian northwest, but also the states
of Minnesota and Dakota, for should the
route prove practicable, it means saving
of hundreds of thousands of dollars an.
nually, in the cost OF transporting grain
to the European market. We will call
first at Maine, on the Labrador coast,
and finally at Rnmah the northernmost
station op the Atlantic coast. The work
Of establishing stations of observation in
the straits will then be begun. The
latter are 400 miles long by 100 broad,
and seven stations will be established. at
which observers will be left, whose duty
it will be to obtain meteorological
statistics, measure the tide, and ascer.
tain the drift OF the water and condi-
tions and state of the ice. We have on
board dwelling houses for each
station, all ready to be put
together. Each party will
consist Of two men and an Esquimaux
interpreter. besides the officer in charge.
Mr.. Stobart, of Toronto observatory,
will take charge of the most important
post, Cape Hope. which is on the south
side of about the center of the straits.
We expect to reach the first station at
Cape Chidleigh, early in August, and
will then proceed gradually until we
reach the last one, Fort Chucrhill, which
is $500 miles from Halifax. The OBJ.
servers will be left until next year, when
they will be relieved by another steamer.
All are we'll on board, although the
weather has been rough.

General Kilpatrick's war Ho1se.

Old Spot, General Kilpatrick's favor.
ite war horse. bore his master gallantly
on long and perilons rides, and in the
thick of many desperate fight, himself
more than once feeling the pricks of
steel and the sting of lead. Subsequent
to the war General Fitzpatrick went to
South America. He left the old horse at
the farm, with orders that he should be
kindly cared for. Returning, after an
absence of several years, the general
reached his home near night, and was
for some time occupied in exchanging
greetings with his family and friends.
He did not, however. long neglect to
inquire after the old horse.
Learning that Spot was at pasture in a
distant field, the general sent for him,
and in o little while
was told that his favorite was
securely tied to post OF the entrance
of the grounds. some distance away.
The general hastened out to the piazza
from whence, peering through the shad.
ows, he deserted the form OF the old
veteran, who stood demurely enawing at
the post. Just the one word. "Spotr'

st Paul Globe, l2: At tie democratic
convention at Sioux Falls, among the
leading names presented for delegate
will be Dan Maratta, of Bismarck. He
is one of the pioneers and man of the
magnetic order. His friends stick like
Dakota mud, and he is one who sug-
gests craftsmanship in his mein and
massive brain. A writer says of him:
"He is neither north nor south Da-
kota man, his personal interest in Da-
kota beginning where the Missouri river
enters our western borders and continu.
ing down to where it flows through our
southern boundary; but he is as popular
in Fargo or Grand Forks as he is in
Bismarck or Mandan, where have been
his headquarters for the past fourteen
years; or at Chamberlain or Pierre,
where he has spent much of his time in
looking after his steamboat interests
during that period. If Capt. Maratta
Is nominated by the democrats he will
come very near being elected, if, indeed,
be does not sccceed in routing the
enemy entirely"

The B1aiue Libel Suit,

Indianapolis, Sept. 13.-ln the United
States district court to-day the motion
for rule on plaintiff to answer tie in.
terrogatories in the Blaine.Sentinel libel
suit came up before Judge Woods. The
Judge stated that in advance of the argu.
ment interrogatories had long been pro.
bibited in the practice of courts in the
United States district court, and while
personally he should like to see the rule
changed, he would not take the liberty
to set it aside at this time. However, if,
with the preliminary statement the at
torneys decided to argue the question,
he would listen to them. Senator Har-
rison stated that the Undergraduates
would be answered, but when Mr.. Tur-
pin asked when, he declined to answer.
The argument then proceeded, and at
the conclusion Judge Wools declined to
rule on the motion. The action of the
judge leaves it optional with BIaine's
counsel as to answering the interrog.
atories.

Chapel ON His Trjp.

Chicago Tribune: Monsignor Capel,
who has been visiting Bishop Ireland in
st. Paul, and making tour generally
of the northwest, arrived at the Grand
Pacific Friday. The distinguished pre-.
late is enthuiastlc about the section
which he has just visited. He said: at
is one of the most wonderful regions l
have ever seen, and it has excited in me
the most intense interest and admiration.
l went as far north as Winnipeg and
viewed the Red River valley in all its
glory. Those enormous wheat fields are
q sight never to be forgotten. They
style that country the future granary Of
the world; but that is q misstatement.
They forgot Southern Russia, Egypt,
which will surely be developed into q
great bread producing country, and In.
dia. The British government has just
appropriated many million pounds ster-
ling to develop the fertility of India by
promoting irrigation and other aids.
But the northwest has some
peculiar features which in.
sure its future. One is the sparseness of
the population, which offers home to
the crowded peasantry of Europe. l
should say that that belt of country is
capable of sustaining 100000 people.
Then again the soil is unrivaled. Ever
thing is impregnated with alkali; you
can fairly taste it in the water you drink.
And | was 30 much impressed with the
people-what bold, energetic, earnest
race they are! They exactly answer my
idea of the American when 1 first came
to the country. They nre indeed the
typical American, and fine type it is.
Yes, enjoyed my trip immensely, and
yet I did good deal of hard work. I
delivered sixteen conferences, four lec-
lures, and preached several sermons
while in st. Paul. Now have promised
to preach Sunday in Milwaukee, and
then shall return here and make this
my center for the next two months"

"For every German the democrats se-
cure from the republicans in Wisconsin,"
said United States Senator Angus Cam
eron, of La Crosse, few days ago, "the
republicans will gain two Irishmen from
the democrats. With the exception of
Milwaukee, perhaps, the detection in
the German republican ranks Will not be
seven per cent. The Irish detection
from the democrats, on the contrary, is
fifteen, if not twenty, per cent. In La
Crosse, 1 don't know single German
republican who will vote for Cleveland.
This liberality of the Germans, which
leads them to attend opposition meet.
lngs, is going to fool the democrats very
badly. They are counting on great
German vote, but they will not get it IN
Wisconsin. The nomination of Fratt is
received by the democrats with no very
great enthusiasm, because many of them
wanted Villas; and by the republicans
with the firm belief that Rusk will have
no trouble whatever in defeating him.
Wisconsin is safe to the republicans by
not less that 10000 majority"
