WASHINGTON, July l7.-George
Kennen, of this city, the well known
Arctic traveller and author, who
has taken an active interest in
the recent attempts 10 relieve
Lieutenant Greeley's party, and who went
before the Arctic Relief Board last Spring
to urge the offering of such a reward as
would ecure the cooperation of whalers
in the search, was asked by an Associated
Press reporter tonight what he thought
of the news received from st. Johns. He
replied: THE story is remarkable, and
the heroic achievement in the field is
clouded by the disaster due to incom-
petence in Washington. If Lieutenant
Greeley and party had all returned in
safety to the United States as they might
have done. had they been properly sup
ported their, Arctic record in point Of skill
ful management and success would have
been unparalleled. No other Arctic ex-
peditiOn ever spent two consecutive Win
tiers and part of Il third in such high lati-
tudcs, and achieved such results without
casualty or a single case of serious sick
ness. If Lieutenant Greeley had found
at the mouth of Smith Sound the shelter
and food which
HE HAD A RIGHT TO EXPECT
there, he would probably have brought
his entire party back to the United
States in perfect health, after three
Winters in the highest latitudes that
have ever been reached. and after
a series of sledging campaigns which
for boldness and skillful execution have
rarely if ever been surpassed.
Gould the disaster which befell his
party have been averted with the knowl-
edge available at the time the relief expe-
ditions were fitted out?"
"Unquestionably, and that is the pity
of it. If a few hundred more ~rations
could have been
SAVED FROM THE WRECK
of the Proteus, they would have carried
the whole party through, All but one of
the dead persisted last Spring after the
4th of April.
How important are the discoveries
made by Greeley
From the point of view of an Arctic
geographer they are of first class import
ance. Lieutenant Greeley has not only
taken away from Commander Markham,
Of the British Navy, the blue ribbon Arc
tic discovery for the highest latitude ever
attained in any part of the world, but has
greatly
EXTENDED THE LIMITS OF EXPLoRA-
uoNs
both in Greenland and Grinnell Land.
The fact that two of Greeley's sledge
parties were stopped by open water in the
Polar basin, and that both were at times
adrift in strong currents which threatened
to carry them helplessly away northward
would seem to show the Polar basin is not
a solid sea of ancient immovablc ice which
Mares described, and which he declared
was never navigable. Lieutenant
Greeley's explorations extended over 8
Of latitude and nearly 400 longitude. He
has virtually ascertained the true outlin,
Of Grinnell Land, has crossed it from east
to west, and on the northern coast o
Greenland has gone 10 of latitude and 10
of longitude beyond the iarthest poin
reached BY Captain Mares and the accom-
plished sledging officer, Lieutenant Beau
mont. These achievements alone refec
the highest creditupon Lieutenant G.eele
and his men. but to them of course, wi

July Lille lOllON-
ing telegram was received at the Navy
Department this morning
ST. JOINS, \. f., 9 a. III. July II.
Hon. William Chandler, Secretary OF war,
Washington.
The Thetis, Bear and Lock Garry ar
rived here to-day from West Greenland.
All well. They separated from the
Alert one hundred and fifty miles north
during a gale at Q p. m. June %, five
miles off Cape Sabine in Smiths Sound.
The Thetis and Bear rescued alive Lieu
tenant A. W. Greeley, Sergeant Brainard,
Sergeant Fredericks, Sergeant Long, Hos
pital Steward Beitherback, Private Con-
nell and Sergeant Ellison, the only sur
vivors of the Lady Franklin Bay expedi-
ton. Sergeant Ellison had lost both
hands and feet by frost bite, and died on
July E at Godhaven, three days after
amputation, which had become impera-
tive. Seventeen of twenty-five persons
composing the expedition persisted by
starvation. At the point where they
were found, one was drowned while
sealing to procure food. Twelve
bodies of dead were rescued, and
are on board the Thetis and Bear.
One Eskimo Turnevik was buried at
Disco. In accordance with the desire of
the Inspector of Western Greenland FIVE
bodies were buried in the ice neal the
camp and were swept away to the sea by
the winds and current before my arrival
and could not be recovered.
THE NAMES OF ii DEAD
recovered, with the date of death, are as
follows; Sergeant Cross, January /, 1854;
Wederiek Eskimo, April .; Sergeant Lin
mock, April 6; Lieutenant Lockwood,
April 8; Sergeant Jewell, April -; Pri-
vate Ellis, May Q; Sergeant Rolston, May
90; Private Henry, June G;
The date of the death OF those whose
bodies were not recovered is as follows:
Sergeant Rice, April 9, 1884; Corporal
Salem, June ;: private Bender, June &;
Sergeant Gardner, June II. Drowned by
breaking through the newly formed ice
while sealing: Jens Edwards, Eskimo,
April "a. | would urgently suggest that
the bodies now on board be placed in me
tallic cases here for safer and better trans
portation in Il sea way. This seems to me
imperative. Greeley abandoned Fort
Conger August 9, 1888, and reached
Baird Inlet September 90 following with
his entire party well. He abandoned all
his boats and was adrift thirty days on the
ice foe in Smiths Sound. His perma-
nent camp was established October d,
1888, at the point whence he vas found.
During the nine months his party
had to live upon a scant allow
ance of food brought from Fort Conger.
| With this was some food from Cape lisa
belle, left by Sir Geo. Mares in 1875, but
it was found much damaged by the lapse
of time, that cached by Beebe at Cape
Sabine in 1882, and a small mount saved
from the wreck of the Proteus in 1888 and
landed by Lieutenants Darlington and
Colwell on the beach near where Greeley
party was found. When these provisions
were consumed the party was forced to live
on boiled sealskin, stripped from sealskir

Gen. Malone will brook no symptom of
objection to his undisputed sway, and visits
the sins of the fathers in that respect even
upon their children. Judge Rives was a
wing before the war. Ever since then he
has been republican, and is the ex-federal
judge who, before he resigned, rendered
himself conspicuous by having State Judges
arrested for refusing to put negroes OH iu-
ries. He believes in republicanism, bu.
not in Mahoneism, and naturally objects to
the domination of the republican party in
Virginia by a democratic scalawag, man
who few years ago was among the most
ultra and proscriptive democrats in the
State and who only severed his connection
with the democrats when he became con-
WINGED that they knew him too well to adj
vance him politically, and because he saw
in reputation and the solid negro vote the
means by which he could attain sucn ad-
vancement outside the democratic party
For such objection ON thepart of the Judge
his son, who was clerk of the U. S. Court
for the western district of Virginia, has
been removed. And yet there are white
men in Virginia, who call themselves re-
publicans, who, apparently, at least, will.
ingly train with the General and his negro
cohorts. That the negroes should follow
him il natural, for they are always happier
under hard master, but that white repub-
licans should be his slaves goes far to sus
tam what Capt. John S. Wise says of them
shat they are apostates for the price of
their apostacy. "-Ale1. Gazette.
