LIEUT.. KIsLINGBURY,s DIARY.
The Book Full of His Dislike for Lieut.
Greedy and His Alleged Injustice.

GreeIy ana mis- Alleged IDj ustice.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The diary OF
Lieut.. Kislingbury, of the Lady Franklin
Bay Arctic station party, which has been
copied in the Signal office and thrown
open to inspection, covers $50 pages of
foolscap. 1t begins Aug. 9. 1888, after the
abandonment of Fort C0nger, where the
party had spent two winters. 1t appears
from the diary that Lieut.. KisIingbury
was suspended from duty by Lieut..
Greedy, the commanding officer, on Aug.
Is, 1881, just two weeks after the arrival
of the expedition at its destination. He
was virtually under arrest from then till
April 8, 1884, when he was restored to
duty and notified by Lieut.. Greely
that he was next in rank and
should command in the event of
the latter's death. The greater part of
Lieut.. Kislingbury's diary is taken up
with criticism and complaints of Lieut..
Greedy, towards whom the writer seems
to have entertained feeling of bitter re-
sentiment. The whole diary is a record
Of pickering, bad feeling and GissensIon.

the Senate the unfinished business, the anti

that Senator Sherman, who has the floor for
speech on this measure, was absent, moved
that its further consideration be postponed
till tomorrow. This was carried.
Consideration of the pensions appropriation
bill was then continued. The committees
amendments were cOncurred in. Then oc-
Cured a repetition of former debates upon
the question of general legislation upon ap-
nTopriation bills and how this matter Is affect
ed by the Senate rules.

legislation the clause requiring that the pre-
sumption Of sOundness at the time Of enlist
ment shall operate in favor of applicants for
pensions, but that such presumption may be
rebutted.
Mr.. ingalls, explained that he had made his
motion for the purpose of raising a point re-
garding the >enate rule. The Committee on
Appropriation had stricken out some provls-
ions on the ground that they were general
legislation, but had retained other provisions
precisely of the same character. THIS would
seem to mean that the Senate rule was TO be
enforced when the Senators wanted IL to ope-
raie, ard not TO be enforced when they
did net want it to operate. Mr..
