ARCTIC EXPLORATION.
Men of Experience Denounce TIN
Idea as EUfiIe.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 9.-The United
States naval institute, composed of officers
of the navy discussed at the naval academy
tonight Lieut.. Danenhower's paper on
North Polar Researches, in which he takes
the sground that there is no continent yet
undiscovered in the North Polar basin, and
the only lands yet unknown are small
islands and groups of islands, and the
scientific knowledge yet to be obtained is
not worth the loss of life and treasure that
will be required for future expedi-
tions. Capt Narrs in his criticism
considered Lieut.. Danenhower's paper an
able and trustworthy one, but did not want
the reader to be deceived about the term
''Open water" as navigable water. He was
certain that no vessel will ever be able to
navigate successfully in the Arctic ocean,
north of Smiths sound Chief Engineer
George W. Melville, q. S. n, writes that
he agrees that the work of explorers Of the
past has been well done, but he does not
concur with Lieut.. DanenhoWer, either in
his selection of The route toward the pole
or his statement that because of the hard
ship endured or the loss of treasure, the re-
search should be abandoned. He diSagrees
with Lieut.. DanennOWer in his selection of
the Smith sound route, and argues at
length against that route and urges that
Franz Joseph land has the two essential
features recommending it as base for an
advance toward the pole. First, perfect
safety of approach and retreat; second, its
high latitude. Lieut.. A. W. Greedy writes
that he has 10 inclination to deny the
merits ef the essay, but its tendencies seem
particularly unfortunate and he regrets that
it emanated from an officer of the service.
He consents to the general proposition, but
from strictly utilitarian standpoint. Polar
expeditions do not pay, unless the scientific
results are commensurate with the costs.
The second point, that the voyage Of the
Alliance was the most hazardous search
expedition since Kane, he approached with
delicacy.
Prof. Rink of Norway supports Lieut.. DAN
nehower in his theory of islands and groups
of islands in the polar basin and believes
that further Arctic research is not worth in
cost

I'm Behalf of the Indians.

LAKE MOHAWK, N. Y, Oct AT the
morning session of the Mohawk conference,
Dr.. Rhoades reported back from the
business committee the platform recon-
mended yesterday announcing that in
its modified form it received the unanimous
approval of the committee of nine, after
which general discussion of the platform
was had. Mr.. John Oberly, superintendent
of Indian schools under Secretary Lamar
responded to a call upon him. His address
had reference to the management of Indian
educational affairs under the present admin
iStration. He said the list OF textbooks to
be found in Indian schools is quarter of a
mile long and embraces the works of every
Republican schOOl-bOok publisher in the
country. He did not think much of this
pretended textbook education. He would
teach the Indians not only the simple rudi-
ments, but what might be called the poll
tics, the structure OF the government, his
rights of property and person and the
wrong system of his fathers; and how to
work and earn a living. The resolutions
were then adopted unanimously. Hon.
Oratius Brooks offered resolutions concern
ing the death of Mrs Helen Hunt jackson
On motion of MI. Oberly, the president of
the conference was authorized to appoint a
committee of five gentlemen and four la
dies, who should prepare an address, in
which the resolutions in relation to the In
dian cause should be incorporated, to be
presented to President Cleveland. A reso-
luton offered by DR.. Kendall was adopted.
respectfully calling the attention of the adj
ministratiOn to the mission Indians of Cali
fornia, and petitioning for immediate steps
for their protection. Adjourned.

and agility the ladies eXcelled anything
ever in st. Paul. They ''bunched their
efforts" as it were, and when one made
sweep another was there to assist, and by
doing thus they defeated the boys who
were pitted against them. Frank Barron,
well known in St. Paul as a skater, assisted
the ladies' and will accompany them on
their Western journey. The names and
positions Of the contending forces were as
follows:
Miss de Lester. Second Rusher..A. Davidson
MISS MISS o. o. Mbite Smjte R. LIE marahe wsey
Miss o. Smith poin+ G. Hinebaugh
Miss NJ. Clarke Polnt ........ p. Davidson
Mr.. F. Barron. .Goal-keeper &C. Nelson
ION the opening the ball was taken by
Frank Barron and tossed to near the ladies'
goal, but was quickly wrung back again by
a wellaimed blow from an opposition
source. The ball, i'll its wayward career,
stubbed on the toe OF one of
the ladies, bringing her to grass.
She quickly recovered from the shock and
vindicated herself by hitting the air about
an inch above the sphere, causing a srizz-
ing noise The effort nearly overbalanced
her, but the rollers revolved at the right
time and by this time Frank Barron was
tusseling with two or three of the opposite
boys scored. This appeared to enrage the
ladies, and when Col. Davidson, the referee,
called the second round, they pitched in
pell-mell and soon put the ball home MAX
ing the score one and. The third and
fourth bouts were walk-aways, each
side scoring. This made the
game two and, with one round left to decide
which was the better. In this both acted
very cautiously, and hit gently and hard as
the occasion called. Things were getting
pretty hot and in trying to dodge a passed
ball, the skate fell from the right foot of
Miss Clark and she twirled dlagonally sew
eral times on the floor. While she was fix
ing her skate Frank Barron put the ball be-
tween the sticks scoring again for the ladies
and beating the boys by a score of three to
two. Tonight they will play the senior
club for the championship of the North
west.

PEELED by a Practical Man.
Humbug permeates life, even in its
politeSt circumstances. 4 hammock hung
in the rear verandah of suburban resi-
deuce. One end was considerably higher
than the other. The occupant of the grace
ful couch at the beginning of my visit was
the eldest daughter Of the family, a round
and roseate creature, whom [ had previously
deemed rather too material for unqualified
admiration, but now she looked positively
beautiful, as she lay picturesquely disposed
with her head lying On one bent arm at the
higher end of the hammock, and her feet
dangling barely visible over the side at the
lower portion. Pretty soon her half-sister
took possession of the hammock, but in a
reverse position, her head being below the
level of her heels. Strange to say, she also
appeared to better advantage than usual.
The yellow, bilious pallor commonly hurt
ing her complexion was somewhat abated
by faint tinge of pink, and 1 marveled
much. Then L asked wherein lay the magic
of that hammock.
II don't wish to enchant you," was the
reply, land SO will tell you all about it.
You notice that the hammock is hung with
one end up and the other down. That's
not done for comfort, except such as arises
in girl from the consciousness that she is
prettier than usual. My sister is fat and
full-blooded. She lies here with her face
elevated, so that the blood runs out of her
cheeks, and for the time her complexion is
just about the right thing. Pm too blood
less in the visage, you know, and so I pose
in the hammock t'other end to, making the
blood settle into my face instead of draining
out of it. inducing mild vertigo you under
stand, and thus produce rosiness that
can't hope for when standing OF sitting."-

1t proved an easy victory for the visitors,
who outbatted and outfelded the home

league club was notified not to play Gleason,
whom he signed Tuesday, as that player
had been reserved by Louisville. Gleason
was blacklisted for signing with the st.
Louis Unions last season, while under re-
serve to Louisville, and under rules. it is
said, still remains under reserve to that
club till his reinstatement. Welch pitched
another fine game to-day, and Gleason
played a magnificent short stop. At times
the fielding of the home club was wretched,
and the visitors earned but one of their five
runs. Tomorrow the two clubs play an
exhibition game.

DAYTON, o., Oct 9.-It has long been
charged tfat all sorts of frauds and outrages
have been perpetuated on the soldier in
mates of the National home near this city
by Republicans high in power to whip
them into the party traces. Frank
Breene, attorney at law, made affi-
davit that he had a conversation
with one Gustaye Schwartz, ward master at
the hospital of the Soldiers home: that
Schwartz, believing Breene to be connected
with the Ohio Central Republican commit
tee, said he had been promised $500 if he
would manipulate the hospital in the in
terest of the Republicans and increase the
majority there; that he said. they
had safe plan and would administer Gro
ton oil, which would be given the Demo-
Gratis early in the morning on the day OF
the election; that when asked
how this would be done he
said the ward masters had charge
OF the food and administering of medicine
and that he and the others would admins
ter Oil in that way; that where Democrats
took medicine the oil would be put in it
and where they did not take medicine it
would be put in their food; that Schwartz
further said this would pro-
duce bad cases of diarrhea,
so that the patients could not leave the hos
ptal; that Schwartz repeated to Breene sew
eral times that he would surely administer
the crotOn oil on election day Another
affidavit was made by Thomas W Steven
son, late of Company Fl, Ninth Hi
nois cavalry, who was employed
at the hospital. and who is
personally acquainted with Schwartz, and
who says he had several conversations with
him, in which he related to him in sub
stance what had been sworn to by Breene.
In addition Stevenson swears that he saw
Schwartz just after he had conference
with three members of the Republican COM
mittee, who called upon him at the hospital
short time ago.

Some New Rules Demanded.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. o. Complaint
against the existing rules governing legisla-
tion in the house of representatives has been
growing louder and louder for several years,
and the question of changing them is fire.
Quently discussed. Some members openly
declare that the rules operate to obstruct,
rather than facilitate, the despatch of busi-
ness, and favor change; while some of the
oldest members oppose it, and argue that
change of the rules enabling more members
to get through pet bills would inevitably
result in an excess of legislation. One rad
ical change urged by many members is
to allot the appropriation bills to
the several committees which are entrusted
with legislative power relating to the in
terests involved in these bills, and permit
these committees to perfect the bills and
report them to the house. This scheme
to apportion the various appropriation bills
out among the several committees, and
thus strip the appropriation committee OF
its present powers and duties, does not find
much favor with congressman now in town.
Members even who are opposed to the ex-
isting rules and think they ought to be
changed so as to make it easier to enact
laws, declare themselves hostile to the plan
of dividing up the appropriation bills.
