will await further orders. and where
members of the Greedy Party and re-
lief expedition can become accn-
mated before proceeding farther
south. Gen. Hazen is annoyed by
the criticism which has been made
respecting the non-estsblishment oil
station near Cape Sabine on the
west coast OF the channel and has
prepared the following memorandum
in respect to the matter: 1t was
the plan from the first to place de-
pot upon the east bank OF Greenland,
at Little.on Island. This was Greely's
plan. After very careful and pro
lorged atndy, OF the whole subject ne
not only made the plan before ne
started, but very carefully reiterated
it in writing after reaching Lady
Franklin by closing his letter on
the subject in these words: "No oe'
viations from these instructions
should be permitted. The latitude
of action should not be given to the
relief party who on known coast
are searching for men who know
their plans and orders" The reasons
for this decision were that there was
coal on the east side and none on the
west. 1t was in the neighborhood
of the friendly EsquimRux, who did
not live on the west side. On the
east side there was abundant game.
while there was none on the west.
While numerous camps of explorers
had been encamped on the east side
for the above reasons, there were
never any established on the west
{ side, because the west eide was
mostly than rocks. The pledge
of the Signal Office to support
Greedy in exact accord with this ar
rangement was the most sacred any
Imam could give; to have departed
from it would have been base treach-
cry. This was done in every par
tlcuIar. Retrospectively, one may
now see other plans that might have
been done, but making personal
Judgment, we must place ourselves
lin the position of Greedy and those
who were working with him three
years ago. At the time he left the
signal Office the plan was condem-
ned by court of inquiry, because
lit did not depart from this agree
ment, so as to establish depot go
ing up instead of coming down, If
it failed to reach Lady Franklin
bay as Gre: " had directed, but it
seems now, that had it been done,
Greedy could not have reached it,
as expected in his dispatch for reas-
ons not forseen.

tenant Greedy and men are pro
dressing fayorably, Greedy less 80
perhaps than the others. Yesterday
he exhibited symptoms of great ia
tigue and weakness. He. is talk
ing too much and the constant
interviewing operates unfavorably.
| Hs was taken for drive yesterday
UP the valley to Waterford bridge
land gloated upon the beautiful fer
tile summer prospect, in marked
contrast with the bleak sterilities Of
his 80 recent cabin home. "Fhe
trees ," he said, with exuberant en-
thusiasm, 'slook so beautiful to an
eye that has seen no vegetation for
over three years. The green fields
give me new life"
j Greedy is the guest of the city.
Private houses ana carriages are at
his disposal an every kindness and
attention is paid him. Each MEM
Der of the party forms the center of
listening, admiring groups, and goes
lover and over the recital of the ter
rible past. There will bee memorial
services for the dead in each of the
churches of the city tomorrow,
when commemorative sermons will
be preached.
