The London Truth, referring to
the announcement that the Queen
is about to make a new will, says
"Her Majesty possesses an i'm
mense fortune. The estate of Os-
borne is at least FIVE times as valu-
able as it was when it was purchased
by the Queen and Prince Albert
about forty years ago. The Bal
moral property of her Majesty now
extends over 10000 acres. Clare
mont was granted to the Queen for
life in 1866, with reversion to the
country and her Majesty purchas-
ed the property outright three years
age for 978,000. Probably its mars
lSet value is not much under E150, !.
600. The Queen also possesses
some property at Coburg, and the
Princess Hohenlohe left her the
Villa Hohenlohe at Baden, one of
the best residences in the place.
With regard to personal property,
Mr.. Nield left the Queen over f500,- :
600, and the property left by the
Prince Consort is believed to have
amounted to nearly f600, 600; but
the provisions Of his win have been
kept strict secret, and the docu-
ment has never been proved. The
Queen must also have saved a vast
sum out Of her income, which has
always been very well managed.
Since the death Of the Prince Con-
sort the general administration Df
the Queens private affairs has been

The Charge or Cannibalism
Against the Greely Party.

II LONDON, August Clemont
r. Markham. secretary of the Royal
Geographical Society who served in
the Arctic expedition of 1850, in
| search of Sir John Franklin, has
written letter in regard to the re-
cent charges made against the
Greely party. In this be says the
accusation of murder and cannibala
ism made against the Greedy party
is disgrace to American journals.
Decency would have suggested ni.
lence until Greedy had submitted
bis report to the government. There
may be q remnant of truth in the
charge. 1t is possible, but unlikely,
that the men, in their extremity,
should succumb Markham draws
attention to the fact that a similar
cruel accusation was made against
Sir John Franklih's expedition and
quotes the noble words of Admiral
Sherard Osborn, who commanded
one of the Franklin search sxpedi-
tions. Why attempt to lift the
veil with which the ALI -MerclfuI
had been pleased to shut out from
mortal ken, the last sad hours of
brave men battling with famine
and disease" Markham, continu-
ing, says: " The American Navy
Department should have controlled
and been responsible fer the expedi.
ton. The party should never have
been left without depot ship win
tering within accessible distance of
them. The difficulty of navigating
channels north of Smiths Sound
was ignored and precautions me-
elected. Hence the catastrephe;fer
which there is no excuse. Lieut..
Grcely's observatory work will form
q valuable supplement to the series
OF observations which were taken
by the ship Discovery in 1876. The
Greedy expedition will bear test of
thorough scrutiny. Expeditions are
however, in stating that
Beaumonts cape, Britannia. was
visible frem Lincoln bay, on the
west side Of Robeson channel. Tho
real Cape Britannia is invisible
from Lincoln bay, the most distant
visible land being Cape May and
Mount. Hooker. The psint which
Lockwood and Brainard reached
was Cape May, not Cape Britannia.
The next land they reached was
Beaumont island, with 1 small is
land between it and the main land
Of Britannia"

at the Washington street station

of Hartford, Conn, and run a farm.
Women are scarce there, and l need
some one to look after my house and
cook for me.
Some time ago several friends OF
mine who had farms out my way
came to New York, and each
brought back a wife. All of them
turned out to be good ones / went
to Castle Garden and saw all that
came in there for two or three days
but didn't find one that suited my
fancy. / read In the newspapers
about Ella Larrabee, who was arr
rested for burglary. / like the de.
seription read of her, and / believe
if L could make her change her
ways she would turn out 10 be a
good wife. I've been in New York
several days and spent a good. deal
of money, but still I've got some
left, and the young farmer exhib-
tied to-the sergeant large roll oi
greenbacks. I've been to Judgs
Massey's house to get a permit to
see her ut the penitentiary, but he
was out" the young man added.

TIE BARGAIN WfTH sUTTIxR

The New York Times of the 9th
has q leadez charging "Bargain
with Butler. = "It says at seems
to be pfelsy clearly established that
Butler had a conference with Sec
retary Chandler at Portsmouth. on
the 26th of July. Chaadler then
went to Bar Harbor, and in com
pany with Eugene NJ. Hale, George
M. Robeson and . confidential
representative of Steve Elkins had
consultation with Blaine. Then
Chandler, in company with Robeson
and Hale, again met Butler at POrts-
mouth. This was on the 4th Of
August, and two days later appear
ed Buffers brief letter announcing
his purpose to stand by the nom
nations of the Greenbackers aud
Anti Monopclists. There can be
no doubt that the old intriguer had
a full understanding with the Blaine
leaders, and through them with
Blaine himself. What il involves
can only be known to these who
are pArtleS 10 10, Lneugh II Is pretty
clear as matter of inference that
tho purpose Of Buffers canvass
henceforth will be promoted. so far
as possible, the election Of Blaine.
Should It succeed, Of course Butler
would be in the combination of job
bers, Star route thieves, corporation
spectators and land monopolizars,
who weuld control the Administers
ton at Washington, To this sc1lnaA
plexion would the Republican party,
with its grand history and its lofty
principles, be brought. Butler
would besin full fellowship with the
leaders, and the leaders under Blaine
would be such men as Chandler,
Robertson, Kellogg, Elkins, Clayton
and the rest.
