Major POwells Reply.
HE MAKES A GENERAL DENIAL TO ALL
CHARGES AGINST HIM.
Prof. ]. w. Powell, director of the geological
survey, has written to Secretary Lamar in re-
ply to charges which have appeared in the
newspapers rejecting discreditably on the
management of the survey. Prof. Powell SAYS,
in reply to the charge that the survey has been
unlawfulIy extended to the eastern portion of
the United States, that the law specifically pro-
vides that it shall extend over the entire coun-
try. 1t is not true, he says, that the geological
survey duplicates the work of the coast survey
and the state geological surveys. The charge
that q corrupt conspiracy exists in the Nationa.
Academy of Sciences to break down the old
organization for geographical and geological
surveys in order to create the new is answered
by pointing out that all changes have been
made by a committee of the most eminent sci
entific men of America. The statement that
Science in collision with Major Powell pro-
pose to wipe out the lines which now fix
domain and introduce a new system is with
out the color of truth, and its falsity is only
equalled by its absurdity.. In reply to the
National Academy of Sciences by distributing
patronage to the members, Major Powell says
he had no patronage under his control at the
about the publication of which statements were
made, Prof Powell says was published by the
HAYDEN survey years ago. No estate state geologist
United States geological survey. Prof Powell
states that Capt. Clarence E. button receives
only his salary as captain in the army, and
logical survey has fossils in the hands of Prof
Marsh, of Yale college; Prof Newberry, of New
York; Prof. Fontaine, of the University of Vir-
ginia; Prof. Leidy, of Philadelphia, and various
other persons. The collections are sent TO
specialists for examination, and the statute
contemplates this by providing for their return
to the National museum. There is no truth in
the statement that 81 II, 900 was paid out for
salaries in excess of the amount appropriated.
In IN
public money has not been used illegally and
no account has ever been officially suspended.

Lieut.. KisIingbury's Diary Showing
that Much IA Feeling Prevailed.
The diary Of Lieutenant kislinsbury, OF
the Greedy party, which has been copied i'll tho
signal Office at Washington AMI thrown open
to inspection, covers 10 pages Of foolsrap
and begins August 9, 1881, after the aban-
donment of Fort Conger, where the party
had spent two winters.
1t appears from the diary that Lieutenant
Kislingbury was suspended from duty bi
Lieutenant Greedy on the 10Th of August, 1871,
Just two weeks after the arrival OF the expo
dition ut it's destination. He was virtually
under arrest from that time until April i,
1881, when he was returned to duty
and notified by Lieutenant Greedy that he
was next in rank all should command in the
event of the latter's death. Under date
OF the 10th of My. 1884, Lieutenant klsllns-
bury writes that Lieutenant Greedy came to
him and said they had misunderstood each
other forthree years, that his (~klslingburyS)
conduct had been manly and commendab!e
throughout, and lie Greely) begged pardon.
Only q few days later, however,. the com
manding officer, according to Lieut. Kissing
bury's account, insulted him 10y. calling MN
O liar, and their personal relations again he
came hostile. The greater part of Lieut.. his
%linsbury's diary is taken up with CRITICISMS
and complaints of Lieut.. Greedy, toward
whom the writer seems to have entertained e
feeling of bitter resentment. Among the acts
Of the commanding officer which are unfsv-
orably commented upon are the putting under
arrest of DR.. Pavy. whom kislinsbury char
acteriZes as 1.-THE most sensible and hardest
working man wo have aloug;" the swearing
at the men and the threatening to shoot one
of them Gross without any reason whatever:
The whole diary is a record Of pickering, bad
feeling and d~issension.
