Extracts from the Diary of Private Henry
 Starvation and Death
 Washington Correspondence.
 The journal of Private Henry, shot for stealing provisions by order of Lieut.. ( reely in the Arctic regions, covering the period between October, 1885, and June, 1884, has been made public. He writes under date O. May 3: He (Whistler, who was loudest in hls denun- citation of the unfortunate who was tempted to purlOin scrap of meat, was 10 day caught in the cOmmiSsary, hay ing broken open the door, and was found with about a pound of bacon Tn his pocket.
 The entry of May II is: "Cowardly action in reely in wanting to shoot Dr. r. he also drew a rife on lender. He calls hinslingbury liar, and apologies to enlisted men.
 -Four days later the following: ''Yes- terday Biederbeck and Whistler had a row outdoors and some one stole FL isOns baCOl which was under charge of Lieut. treely. 1he terrible strug- gling with death by starvation actually had no terror for us. we looked on 
 ing fate. \ few hours before death, ln- stead of craving for food they kept calling for water, and could hardly be controlled or sat- is ed. All. with one exception, were unconscious for hours before d dl ing. Poor Lockwood came out of his bag to stand in the alleyway while the mOOn- shine diStillery was going on, and was the last to receive his pOtatiOn. Ere the rest of Us had our share he re IueSted a repetition of the dose from the Otiicia- ting steward, and upon being repri- manded by the officer for asking for such a thing from the steward, he turned round to the doctor and said: Well, well, go to the fountain heai;' and he repeated his demand. Upon being absolutely denied he dropped to the floor and hardly ever opened his mouth again tO utter another word. '
 May g., after noting that Whistler Is dying, Henry says: ''t al.ed in the tent and was informed that Pavey stole Eli sons ratIOns, and that the official record concerning 1t had been tempered with. A. w. G.. if he does die, dies the death of a miserable coward.
 On May 2S Is the following entry: Poor Kinslinghury is sinking rapidly, and the doctor has given him up. Last night Ur. ?. and Lieut.. G. had another SquaJble over the medicine. The ma iOrity of Us fourteen have given up all hopes of seeing our friends again, but a few have still a chance at the con- clusion of this terrible IT. gedy to be welcomed with universal accla- nation as worthy frOntierSmen of Uncle sam. and as men who have made themselves immortal by splendid victory and innumerable Suf- ferings hitherto incompatible in the annals of Arctic exploration and against all the laws of nature.
 The notes of tho fret four days of June are brief memoranda of the rapidly sinking condition of those left. These were made just prior to his being shot. Extracts from other diaries show the deplorable state of affairs. lnsubOrdi- nation prevailed to a considerable extent, and quarelling sometimes leading to blows was not an uncommon occur renee.
 Sergt. Brainard's dairy is in his per sOnal possession and not Obtainable, and Sergt. COnnell declines to allow his diary to be inspected stating that it was written with the express understanding that no one but Gen. Hazen should read 1t.
