Efforts to Relieve the Colony.
In June, 1882, MIR. W. NJ. Beebe took COM
mand Of a party which sailed from St. John,
N.F., on July s, 1882, to take supplies to Lieut..
Greedy. His vessel was the Neptune. She
pushed north rapidly, and reached Littleton
Island July 20. She got no further north than
that. 1t was evident that the object of the
expedition could not be achieved.
Mr.. Beebe regarded it unwise to land stores
on LittletOn Island while the natives remained
in the vicinity, and, judging that a landing
might be made on the northern end of the
island without their knowledge. the Neptune
stood across the channel, and at / O'Clock in
the morning of the 3lst landed and estab-
lished cache upon Cape Sabine, the north
ernmOst land attained by the relief party.
The stores and whaleboat were placed in a
sheltered spot, well secured and covered by a
tarpaulin.
The cache on LittletOn Island was next es-
tablished. AS the natives still remained on
Cape Ohlsen the stores were landed in a cove
at the north end of the island, so well con-
cealed as to be invisible from any point few
yards distance and covered with tarpaulin
securely anchored down with rocks.
The voyage homeward was then resolved
upon. The ships Prov was pointed to the
southwark on Sept. and reached st. John
on Sept. "a. The Neptune did not get within
100 miles of Lady Franklin Raw

Motion to Consider the Bill Defeated
by Half Hundred Votes.
LONDON, July 17.-In the House Of
Lords to-day the Earl of Wemyss moved
that the House proceed to consider the
franchise bill, provided the government
would undertake to present at the autumn
session a bill for a redistribution of the
seats in the House of Commons. Lord
Shaftesbury seconded The motion, but it
was defeated by vote of 1872 to 1872.
The Trades Committee is making ar
rangements to have a procession num-
berlng 100000 persons parade during the
demonstration at Hyde Park next Mon
day to awe the House of Lords into pass
ing the franchise bill. A majority of the
workshops in London will close on that
day. The enthusiasm over the move
ment for the abolition of the House of
Lords is at high pressure.
In consequence of Lord Randolph
Churchill supporting the plan for a COM
promise on the franchise bill, the ultras
in the National Conservative Union are

placed from the Craftsmanship.
