OF the boys arrested with him were aged re-
spectiyely thirteen aud sixteen years. They
were said by the police to De adopts in crime,

here about the democratic plan to devise
a scandal in MI Blaine's early life, to
be used simultaneously in a number OF
democratic newspapers. This statement
of Watterson was given in conversa-

against Blaine's early life in Kentucky
is now in type. 1t was recently offered
to him to print i'm the Courier-J ournal.
Mr.. Watterson satd that he even refused
to consider the proposition. He said
chat he had the whole story Investigate
ed in the most thorough fashion by his
own reporters, and it was found that
there was absolutely not one word OF
truth in it; That Mr.. Blaine's life while
in Kentucky was absolutely blameless.

expedition which were brought to New
York and there turned over to the au-
thorities of Governors Island, were
brought here to-day and delivered to the
chief signal officer. They will be used
by Lieut.. Greedy in making his report OF
the expedition and by the chief signal
officer in making his report to the secre-
tary of war. The collection includes all
the records of the scientific work and
discoveries of the Greedy party, their
instruments, private papers, and diaries
of members. When the expedition was
fitted out every member was supplied
with blank books in which to keep their
personal records Of events during their
Stay in the Artic regions. it was the
understanding that these records were
their personal property and not subject
to the supervision Of Lieutenant Greedy
or any one else. Seventeen of them
have been preserved, and their contents
will be considered as confidential be-
tween the government and the writer's,
and while portions of them will be used
in making up the history of the expedi-
ton, nothing they contain will be made
public until Lieutenant Greely's report
of the expedition is complete. General
Hazen says it may be a year before
Greely's report is finished.
