about the general management Of the
Lady franklin Bay expedition and the

under Maj Beebe and 1888 under Lieut..
Darlington, and the general management
of tho signal office in directing these ex-

cred the recent action Of Lieut. Gen.

ing the official memorandum of Gen. Me-
Koever's remarks regarding these matters
and refusing to take official notice there-
OF, but Com Hazen does not propose to
be put down in such cavalier manner
and will shortly prefer formal charges
and specifications against Cen. MoKoever
alleging conduct unbecomina an officer

dicial TO good order and military disoip-
line" Gen. Hazsn still holds to his in
tention not to include in the speclhca-
tions the derogatory remarks said to have
been made by Gen. McKeever against

SIBERIA AS IT Is.
A Revelation Concerning n Much
Abused Country and the Russian
Exile System.

A Revelation Concerning Much
Abused Country ana the Russian
Exile System,
"Siberia as n desirable place Of resi-
denco" was not the title of Mr.. George
Remnants lecture at Congregational
church church last night, but it might
we'll have been. There was large au-
dience, including many distinguished
persons, among them the Russian minis
ter aud several members OF congress. The
lecturer opened his interesting story of
the life OF the Siberian exiles by quoting
sundry criticisms by Nihilists of some
previously published views of his upon
the subject, citing their own statements
and authorities admitted by them to be
reliable in support OF his position.
He followed this by history
of the exile system, the horrors
of which in the seventeenth and eight.
eenth centuries were dwelt upon with
graphic force, forming striking contrast
to the picture which was drawn of the
condition of the expatriatud people of TO-
day. The latter are divided into three
classes, the common criminals who would
be either hanged or imprisoned for long
terms in pententiarles in any other coun-
try; the political offenders. including
conspirators and terrorists, the latter
classed with other attempted murderers,
and the vagrants
The worst classes are sent for life with
twenty years hard labor. lesser offenders
being exiled for four years. Tho number
now sent annually ia about 10000, from
/ TO per cent. being for political otienses
aud iully s. per cent. suffering simple
hanishnent. There were only TO- 100 at
hard labor in 1879. Some instances OF
the exaggeration of tho nihilIst stories
were given, including tho recently pub.
lished story Of one of tho Decembrists
Mr.. Kennan received quite an ovation
at the close, and though the lecture lasted
over an hour and half regrets we're ex-
pressed that it was not longer.

ton, both Of Kansas, members Of the
Cherokee Strip Live Stock Association,
and sublessees of. the lands held by that

committee on Indian affairs yesterday. IL
was found that the association held about
100000 acres. rented from the Cherokeos
at cents an acre, and that tho sublessoea
paid 2l cents an acre. Senator Harrison
asked what uso WAS made of tho surplus.
Senator ingalls, objected on the ground
that this was iuquiring into the private
business Of tho witnesses. He would not
object, he said to an inquiry as to whether
any portion of the surplus was paid in
securing tho lease. Senator Harrison
maintained that his inquiry was neces.
sary to develop the facts in the case. The
committee then went into secret session
to consider the scope of tho further in
vostigatiOn.

The New York Tribune credits Col.
EmmOns, of the Seventh New York regi-
ment, with saying that tho reason the
regiment would not attend the inaugural
ceremonies was their inability to procure
suitable accommodations for the men aud
the committee which visited here were
unable TO find place where 500 men
could be lodged and fed. The truth Of
this statement is not only denied by tho
public comfort committee, but Col. Will
liam q. Moore, chairman of the committee
on military organizations, says that
tho Washington Light Infantry
tondered the Seventh the use
of their armory. Under date Of
Clarke thanking him and his officers for
courtesi6s shown the committee Of tho
9TH regiment while visiting here, and
also stating that at meeting Of tho
board of officers II was unanimously re-
solved that 1t was inexpedisnt to take
| tho trip. II the regiment had decided 60
come IL had been arranged that cots
should be placed in the new armory, and
| there would havo been an abundance Of
| room. An impression prevails that the
cracked 9TH was afraid II could not come
on with full ranks and rather than not
| do SO preferred TO remain at home.
The general committee yesterday r0-
coiyed from Mr.. Addison Cammack, of
! New York, a check for 1000 AS a con-
tribution toward meeting the expenses of
the ceremonies.
