FROM WASHINGTON.
JEANETTE INVESTIGATION.
Lieutenant DanhOwer and Engineer
Melville Before the Sub.COmmit.
tee.
WASHINGTON. April 2S.

WASHINGTON. April 2S.
The Jeanette investigation was renewed
this forenoon. Lieut.. Davenhawer continued,
stating,i in reply to inquiries bv Judge Arnoux
that to the best of his know ledge he did not
in his intercourse with DIR. Collins and his
brother at the Twenty fifth Avenue Hotel say
that Mr.. Collins led hell of a life in the
Arctic ocean. He might have said tha; life
in the Arctic region was hell, or something
to that effect, but he referred TO the general
condition of life in that region.
Engineer Melville was sworn, and testified
that he had never sailed in a vessel where
there was so little quarreling as on the jean
nette. The officers and men did their duty.
DsLong was courteous and careful of the
feelings of the officers Most of the persons
on the Jeanette thought that DeLong was
toe careful Of their health. He always con-
suited the doctor about orders he gave in re-
gard to medical matters.
In reference to the inquiries as to his opin-
ion of Chipp, Davenhower. Amber and New
comb. the witness said that Chipp was a first
class man 10 every way. He was one of the
prides of the service, but very reticent.
Daveahower's character was first rate, and
he considered him the most attentive man to
his duty that he had ever seen. He could
not say too much of Ambler. he was the
gentleman of the ship, without any reserva
ton whatever. Newcomb was rather Young
looking for his years, and he desired to have
as little to do with him as possible. New
comb was neither useful or ornamental. He
had no ill feelings towards him 1t had been
necessary to repremand him several times
during the retreat. Capt. DeLong both ver-
bally and in writing had placed the witness
in command of the boat in which Davenhower
was and told him to keep near him (DeLong.
He had done SO until the day of the gale,
when his boat being speedier than the cap
taln's, he went ahead In trying to slacken
the boats speed she filled with water, and he
yelled to the captain: I'll swamp! l must
run! The captain in reply motioned him to
run, aud he separated from the others.
Chipp's boat was behind the captains, and
in his opinion the boat holding Chipp and
party filled about this time and rolled over,
drowning the party. The boats did not 60
south. because by going from island to island
they diminished the stretch of open water to
be travelled over and lessened the danger
from gales.

New YORK, April 2S.
At the Madison Square Garden, about 80
this morning, when the crowd had diminished
to about one thousand persons, the walkers
showed the first signs of desire to take
things easily, by occasionally falling into a
dog trot, but generally maintaining walk.
Sullivan was off the track for half an hour
once, but excepting him none of the men
were in their huts for more tnan few min
utes at time. On the first lap of the 57th
mile, Noremac disappeared temporarily and
thereby lost the lead. Herty went to the
front with Rowell on his heels. Rowell be-
came the leader on the first lap of the 2Sth
mile. The Indian Nitaw Egg Elbow did not
look so handsome as when he marched over
the track last night in his paint and feathers.
Rowell and Day kept close together. At the
llth hour, Rowell was three laps ahead of
Dav but at the 18th Day had annihilated
that lead and put three laps to his net credit
