British government, unconditionally, with her an
chors, chains and such OF her equipment as can be
utilized for the Greey relief expedition, in recOgn-
ton OF the restoration OF the ResOute to the gov
erDment Of the queen. The gift, and the incident
OF which 1t Is recognition. have both been men
toned in THE STAR. Recognizing this graceful and
OppOrlune act OF courtesy the part OF her eS-
ty's government, the Secretary OF State yesterday
instructed MI Lowell as follows by telegraph:
"Her majesty's government having presented to
the government OF the United States the ship Alert

you will inform the secretary OF state for foreign
affairs that the spirit which prompts this act OF
object in view, receives the highest appreciation OF
the President, as 1t will that OF the people OF the
United States. The President sends bis cordial
thanks for the opportune gift OF this vessel which
which VIII be used in the humane enterprise for
which 1t Is SO peculiarly adapted
MEssRs. F1NERTY AND ROBINSON vorR "Eo."
When the report OF the Secretary of State on the
gift OF the Alert was read in the House yesterday

House as mark or the sentiment of the House. He
further asked that the communication be referred
to the committee on foreign affairs with the object
OF having more formal and appropriate recOgni-
ton OF the act OF the British government Zap
plause.]
Mr.. Randall then put his request In the form OF
motion, and 1t was agreed tO-MeSSrS Ftnerty and
Robinson voting in the negative.
"Can we not have ships OF our own without beg

The Greelv Relief Expedition.

Inc STeeAv 11eAle1 EXpe01ttOns
A PROSPECT OF AN OPEN SEA EARLY IN THE SEA-
SON.
From reports received at the photographic Office
OF the Navy department, 1t is learned that the ice
is coming down from the arctic regions much
earlier this year than usual 1t is argued therefore
that the prospects tnat by the time the Greedy
relief expedition reaches the ice regions, there will
he more open water than is customary.
and the chances are good that the expe-
dition will be able to accomplish its object without
being compelled TO spend the winter In the ice. 1t
is generally believed that the proposed expedition
carefully considered, that those who accompany 1t
will but little risk OF loss OF life, ana that their
cruise will be one OF exposure and hardship only.
THR POLICE ALARM AND PATROL SYsTEN.-The
new police alarm apparatus, which has been tested
in the fifth precinct, IN connection with police

station to the satisfaction Of the management. 1t
