The National states that LII FOng Pao

and some red hot shot will
suffice for France to get possession of

LONDON, Aug 20.-It is believed in mil
itary circles that it will ultimately be
necessary to transfer the base of the ex-
pedition for the relief of Khartoum from
Wady Halfa to Suakin unless the Nile
rises rapidly at once. The War Office has
not yet finally ordered the relief expedi-
tion to advance. Prolonged correspond
ence is ensuing between Gen. Stevenson
and the War Office concerning English
made boats on the Nile. Gen. Stevenson
prefers to utilize local craft, which he
considers more adapted to the eXigencies
of the case.
If the base of operations is removed to
the Red Sea, troops will march from Keuh
to Kossier and then embark for Suakin.
Two Highland regiments have been or

He FrOwns on American Newspapers and
COrrects Some Mistakes.
LONDON, Aug. 20.-Clements r. Mark
ham, Secretary of the Royal Geographical
Society, who served in the Arctic expedi-
tion of 1850 in search of Sir John Franklin,
has written a letter apropOs of the re-
cent charges made against the Greely
party. In this he says:
The accusation of murder and cannibalism
made against the Greely party is disgrace
to American journals. Decency would have
suggested silence until Lieut.. Greely had
submitted his report to the government.
There may be remnant of truth in the
charge. 1t is possible, but unlikely, that the
brave men IN large extremity should have
succumbed.
Mr.. Markham draws attention to the
fact that similar accusations were made
against Sir John Franklin's expedition,
and quotes the noble words of Admiral
Sherod Osborne, who commanded one of
the search expeditions:
Why attempt to lift the veil with which
the All Merciful God has been pleased to put
out from mortal ken the last sad hours of
men battling with famine and disease.
DUTY OF THE NAVY.
He also says:
The American Navy Department should
expedition. The party should never have
been left without a depot ship wintering
within an accessible distance OF them. The
difficulty of navigating the channels north of
Smiths Sound was dangerous. Precautions
were neglected, hence the catastrophe, for
which there is no excuse. Lieut.. Greely's
observatory work will form valuable sup
plement to the series of observations which
were taken by the ship Discovery in
1875. The Greedy expedition will bear the
test of thorough scrutiny. Its members are
mistaken in stating that Beaumont's Cape
Britannia was visible from Lincoln Bay on
the west side of Robson channel. The real
Cape Britannia is invisible from Lincoln Bay
The most distant visible land is Cape May
and Mt. Hooker. The point which Messrs
Lockwood and Brainerd reached was Cape
May, not Cape Britannia. The next land
reache1 was Beaumont Island
Mr.. Markham thinks that the highest
latitude reached by the party was 81 de-
grees and 55 seconds, and says:
Ignorance will use the disaster which over
took the Greely party to discourage future
research, but education will defeat ignorance
and Polar research will continue

pitching was only passable, and
he was struck heavily, the Stars hitting
him seventeen times. The Atlantas cot

A Repairing Nuisance.
To the Editor

The railroad company doing the repairs on
the Long bridge and on the road to Fort
Runyon could hardly Inconvenience the

so. The rotten road panks on the bridge are
being taken up, but it is done SO slowly that
the entire traffic on the bridge, both ways, is
often stopted until it pleases the few work.
men employed to drag other planks from the
side of tho railway track to fill the gap.
This hindrance to business is more than an
annoyance by the needless delay it causes.
Then, again, the public who have TO travel
over tho road between the bridge and Fort
Runyon are greatly disappointed and vexed.
Tho road is SO badly repaired that it retains
the water after rain, and to-day it is full of
ruts and water, stones and slush, to the
danger and detriment of tho wheels OF every
kind of vehicle The ay.company ought
to know, at least, how to build and repair a
pike road. The work should be done by
night, and not in the busy hours of the day.
