The News in Washington.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July Is.
The news of the rescue of the survivors
OF the Greedy party was received at the
Navy Department yesterday morning and
created profound sensation. 1t was
the chief topic of conversation at the
War and Navy Departments. The senti-
ment was one of universal gladness at
the rescue of the seven men, mingled, of
course, with sorrow for the remaining
eighteen of the party. Many well in-
formed officials had looked forward with
dread to report that all would be found
dead, and some had felt apprehensiye
even about the safety of Cap
party. Both army and navy officials feel
rejoiced at the success of Captain Schley-s
expedition.
DARLINGTON CRITICISED.
Now that Lieutenant Greely has been
found at Cape Sabine there is DISPOSE

efforts of Lieutenant Darlington, who

Johns last June to find and provision
eral Hazen and Commodore Walker are
iaclined to think that what has been
charged as the greatest error of the Pro
teus' expedition-the failure to leave pro-
visions at Littleton Island,
WOULD HAVE MADE NO DIFFERENCE
in the result, as Greely and his men were
unable to reach that point. General
Hazen thinks Darlington should have let
more Of the provisions saved from the
Proteus at Cape Sabine. Captain Davis,
who was member of the Proteus board,
thinks that the great mistake of that
expedition was in not landing stores
at Cape Sabine instead of trying
to take them further north. Had
this been done the Greely party
might all nave been saved; but of course
Darlington had no orders to land stores
there, and could not do it.

forgotten that they are a very different kind
of hen from the Leghorns. They are natur-
ally Of sluggish nature, and fatten easily
for that reason. The Leghorns are of ner
vous disposition, and hence, like nervous
woman, will not fatten at all. Therefore,
especially when confined in narrow
compass, it should not be fed on your
hearty food, or the result will be few eggs
and very often death. | have had the Ply

Leghorns when properly fed, because they

with some red pepper in il occasionally, and
whole corn at night. | have tried to iced

THE FALLiN PRICES.

There 5 no mistake about the tendency of
wages. They are going down in all kinds of
manufacturing business. The operativ es
generally exhibit the good sense to accept
the reduction as inevitable. They know that
their living expenses have been decreasing.
Provisions, clothing, manufactured articles
of almost every kind, articles Of both neces-
sity and luxury, have been steadily falling in
market value for year, and it is legitimate
that wages should fall in proportion. The
reduction will be comparatively slow TO af-
feet the west, because manufactures here
are mostly local and independent of market
values, and house building and farm work
depend mainly upon immigration. What
should fall in proportion to the decrease of
mechanical wages and cos: of living is pro-
iessional charges, prices of public entertain
ments. interest on money, and transportation
and transmission charges, and last, but not
least, public expenses and taHation.-Empo-
ria Republican.
