ST.. PAUL. MISs., Feb. 23.-rho Pioneer
Press prints In the morning a SIX column
Interview with DR.. Collins, OF Minneapolis,
Dr. Collins 10 brother Of Jerome
Collins, who lost bis Ito upon tho
Jeanette In tho expedition 10 the
Attic regions. DIR. Collins has ia his pos.
session the note book aud papers found up.
on the peIaon OF Jerome Clllins,
and upon these no bases a petition
TO bs presented TO congress,
cation Of the circumstances attend
Ing the loss OF tho Jesnnotte.
The point DR.. Colllss makes is that
the Jealousy OF naval officers and civilians
caused a continual tighh and rendered II
that the objects Of th. expedition
coul I ba successfully attained, and finally
resulted ~ the loss OF the vessel and hls
brothers and other lives. He refers TO tho
hitherto Unpublished contents OF Jerome
Long was Jealous Of Collina and iDeul ed
him upon al occasions; made him lodge
and take his quarters In the forecastle and
perform the dntieE OF u common ssilor, la
stead OF allowing him 10 pureuo
tho sci nLihc researches Tor which he
had b. en- attached 10 The execution;
that he tool; away from Jerome Collins all
his instruments with which he had been
especially entrusted. and dii oil his
power TO render Colllnss work failure;
that DeLong not only iusulted him him
sell, but did nothing to protect him from
the insults OF other navel oilioefs,
who wero more than ready to follow
DrLnng's example. A copy OF a letter
from Jerome Collins Il DsLpng, found on
the body OF Collins, recltes all these wrong
and tells oi insulis which belong subjected
him to. In the letter Collins gives Dei,ong
ia u very decided manner to undcrslaud
that although he tO,llns) was In his tOe-
LongD power then. that thee wss future
when DeLong would no called to account
for his treatment Of him and his disre & ird
