New YORK, Aug. 1S.Yesterday the off
GERS and men of the Alert, Thetis and Bear
refused to say anything for publication about
the new tale Of the sufferings of the Greedy

conversation, that the reports of cannibalism at
Cape Sabine have some foundation of fact A
gentleman connected with the relief expedition,
who did not wish his name to be used said the
opinion among the officers was that if cannihal-

and exposure that collapse was very near 1t
was easy to see that for months the dominant

to get food. They probably dreamed and

The Story Told by Half Drunken Sailor.
New York Special.
An honestlooking German was pointed ont on
the Thetis as the seaman who had accompanied
the officers to the graves. His name was said to
be Rujjessen. Not knowing that he was being
interviewed the sailor said:
1t was Second lieutenant Colville who stood

simply excites his derision. In this process
sion on clutches he sees only parade of
imposters. He tickets the motley gath
ering as a collection of superannuated and
alleged veterans" and describes their piteous
appeals for justice as the most inconceiv-
able jargon." 1t was of such as these that
Commissioner Dudley said, in his last annual
report, that 3they should receive liberal
pension" and declared that as the steward
of the Nation he had endeavored to distrib-
ute its bounty graeiously and speedily"
yet here is another of his subordinates who
does not hesitate to scott at and ridicule the
defenders of the Nation and cast suspicion on
their claims! In the light of such disclos-
ures SIS this, it is no wonder that the Com
missioner, in his testimony before the House
committee, declared that in getting up his
force of special examiners he often found he
had made total failure in the selection of
his men! We shall have OCCASION we fear,
to inquire still further into this system of

In declining to accept the post of Minister
to Russia in exchange for his present posi-
ton of Minister to Germany, and announc-
ing his intention to retire entirely from the
diplomatic service, Mr.. Sargent has dis
played degree of manliness and independ-
ence OF character that is in marked contrast
with the pHsillanimous manner in which
Secretary FIelinghuysen submitted to the
alfront put upon this country through the
action of Prince Bismarck in returning the
Lasker resolutions. The truth is that Mr.
Sargent strictly carried cut his instructions,
and the personal enmity of which he be-
came the object was solely the result Of his
efforts to prevent the exclusion of American
pork from the German market. Bismarck
did not relish his intimation that the United
States might retaliate by forbidding the
importation of German manufactures, and
he took the first opportunity to vent his
malice on Mr.. Sergeant by entirely ignoring
him in the transmission of the Lasker reso-
buttons. The fact is that Mr.. Sargent is the
only official concerned in this matter that
comes out of it without loss of dignity. Sec
Rotary Frelinghuysen, in persuading the
President to transfer Dir. Sargent to st.
Petersburg, has acted as if the point to be
considered in the selection of our diplomats
were whether they are likely to be person
ally acceptable to foreign potentates instead
Of whether they possess the ability. and de-
termination to properly represent and pro-
teet American interests.

The cincinnati Rlots.

No one, we feel sure, who reads the story
of the Cincinnati riots, can fail to be i'm
pressed with the fact that the outbreak was
in point of violence and length of duration
out of all proportion to the exciting cause.
Shameful as was the miscarriage of Justice
in the Berner case and just reason as there
was for alarm at thei extent to which the
jury system generally had been tempered
with, there was nevertheless no occasion for
such remedy as that to which the mob
resorted. The crisis was one that demanded,
not hot and hasty action, but intelligent
aud deliberate Investigation into existing
abuses and the inauguration of a popular
movement to secnre at the hands of the
State Assembly the legislation necessary to
remove them. 1t is notorious that in Gin
cinnati, as indeed in almost every large city
in the country, the corruption of Jurors is
due chiefly TO the operation of political IN
luences, and the sort of action which the
emergency required in this case was the
organization OF a citizens party to fight the
evil at the polls. Unhappiiy, in the general
