Commander schley has returned from
New York, whore he went to inspect tho
Thets, and states that IL is in many re-
spects the most perfect vessel no ever saw
and the finest and best adapted to ice navi-
CATION. Tho strengthening and remodel
ing, he says will be but small matter and
the vessel will be ready to DO taken Off the
docks by the 18th of April.
Among the changes being made is tho
construction ola small apartment for the
purposes Of the photographer and scientist
of the expedition.
Captain Schley's orders detaching him
from duty in the Bureau of Equipment and
Recruiting, from which he has not yet boon
relieved, will be issued on April g, and no
will be ordered to the Brooklyn Navy Yard
to perfect arrangements for the expedition.
Captain Schley will mako bis hoadquar-
tors at Brooklyn from this time until the
departure of the Tbetis.
The preparations in progress relate to tho
details of the equipment of the vessels, all
the other important features having been
already determined upon. Tho clothing,
which Is believed to DO superior to any here
tofore provided for an Arctic expedition,
will embrace outfits not only for the relief
party but also for Lieutenant Greedy and
his comrades, whose wardrobes will nat
urally have become somewhat depleted
during the long period in which they have
been beyond the reach Of additional gar
ments or skins.

THE BEAST SHOULD BE LYNoHEp.
A Very Mild Punishment for n Very
Grnye 0nepBe.

Grave Onense.
In the Police Court this afternoon q de-
praved-looking colored man, named WILL
lam Shorter, was convicted of tho detosta-
bic crime of making an indecent exposure
of his person to some little school girls, and
also with making technical assault on one
of them-NIiss Sarah Higgins, of Sixth aud
+ streets. Miss Higgins is a daughter Of
ex-Policeman Higgins, and showed con-
siderable presence Of mind aud pluck in
her encounter with tho beast.
She testified that the defendant attacked
her and several other girls while coming
home from school on New Jersey avenue
yesterday afternoon, and exposed himself
to them and caught hold of her shoulder,
and said IL she ran he would shoot her.
She did run, however, and went TO tho Sew
enth Precinct Station House and notified
Sergeant Hollinberger, who arrested tho
man. There were half dozen other girls
present, and thoy told the Court that thoy
have boon very much annoyed by the
prisoner, who not only exposes himself to
them, but chases them.
The Court imposed n fine of 800 or three
months in Jail, for the indecent exposure,
which is the extent of the law.
The assault was only technical one,
however, and was dismissed, but it was
remarked by several persons present that
such beast should have been punished on
the slightest excuse. Sergeant Holm
berger stated that Miss Higgins who is
only II years old, showed good deal OF
nerve and kept the negro in sight all tho
time, and outran him, in her efforts not to
let him escape.
