LORD LoNsDALE's TRAVELS.
He Arrives at San Francisco ana Gives
an Account of His Adventures.

He Arrives at San Francisco and Gives
an Account of His Adventures.
SAN Francisco, April 24.-Lord Lonsdale
arrived here yesterday on the steamer Bertha
from Kodiak, Alaska. He states that after
leaving Winnipeg he Travelled on sleds drawn
by dogs, his only white companion being
William Mexican, a cook in the employ OF
the Hudson Bay company. In August 1883,
he reached Melville Island. This was his
farthest point north. Thence he started across
Alaska to the nearest point on the Yukon
river after reaching which he followed the
river nearly all the way. lie had with him
sixty-nine dogs and eighteen Indians, but
during the journey all but twenty-eight Of
the dogs died, and several Indians were nearly
frozen to death. Lonsdale was obliged to
walk over 800 miles of the journey across
Alaska, owing to the depth of the snow,
which made it impossible for the dogs &c
draw anything more than the sleds with the
provisions on them and some rich specimens.
On Nov. 10, 1855, he reached the Russian
mission on the Yukon river From there h'
went across to Neshagak river, thence K
Bristol bay, arriving at Katma on Jan. II
| 1889. Owing 10 the thickness of the ice thl
boat did not arrive from Kodiak until Marcl
| II. He left Kodiak for this port about {
month ago. Lord Lonsdaie says his objec
was not to find the North pole, as has beer
stated, but to explore the islands in the Arcti
ocean and study the birds and animals foun,
there. He will stay few weeks in this cit
and then 90 to New York ly way Of Winni

The New York Leeislature.

ALBANY, April "a In the senate Mr.. Muir
ply introduced bill to prevent the sale Of
adulterated wheat. The Vedder liquor tax
bill, slightly amended was passed. In the
assembly Mr.. Sheehan's bill appropriating
S40,O for new buildings for the Ls Couteul
Institution for the Improved Instruction of
Deaf Mutes was passed. The speaker hav-
ing, in the absence OF objection, placed the
senate Syracuse water bill in the order OF
third reading, and referred it to the cit es
committee, Mr.. Sheehan, who arrived later,
entered protest, holding that the session
was for third reading of bills only, and no
other business could be transacted. Mr..
Andrus also held that the reference to the
cities committee was an outrageous usurpa.
ton Of authority. He moved a reconsidera
tion. The speaker said the bill had been ad-
vanced by unanimous consent. The subject
was dropped, and after passing a number Of
local bills the assembly adjourned.

be consulted

THE advice given by Representative
Eckles to pass the Senate convention bill
because the Senate had taken the stand
that a strict compliance with Article TX
was requisite. was as good as it was inef-
fective' The argument Of Representa-
tive Downham that the Senate is incon-
sistent because a vote for the constitu-
tional convention was allowed to be taken
in November 81 and now the SEN
ate Improves of vote in May,
is the sort OF argument that
might be expected. If Representative
Downham is correct in his position that
the people are anxious and ready for a
convention, they will vote for it in May.
If tine people viii not vote for conven-
tion in May after all the discussion and
excitement or the subject. then the people
do not want the convention. The people
cannot have convention. with
cloud upon the call, with
the consent Of the Senate. That
is settled. Now then it is the part Of O
wise man who really wants convention
to vote for that bin which complies
strictly with the law. II is the tactics Of
the man who wants to pose as a reformer
to oppose bill which can pass with one
which he knows cannot pass. He there
by gets the credit Of a reformer without
incurring any responsibility.
Representative Downham is the mar
to work a mine like that for all that it is
worth

NOT HARMONIOUS.

AS an aid to a state Legislature an un-
truthful private secretary does not seem
10 be a success. Providence probably
designs that his public usefulness shall
be confined TO the humble but honorable
function Of carrying his employers port
manteau. How a truthful private secre-
tary would work as a legislative adjunct
we cannot say. Morning News.
The diagram which should have ac-
companied, but which did not accompany
the above, would be interesting Private
secretary f. E. Bleh. who. attended
the Legislature in the interest Of Senator
Higginss personal spite and envy against
]. f. Addicks for the purpose Of defeat
ing the Addicks bill, is the prominent
figure in tbs foreground of the picture
Mr.. AddiclSs had the audacity to attempt
to be the Republican Senator from Della
ware in opposition to Senator Hig
gins. That is not ALL Mr.. AddclSs
has the reputation of being rich, active
and influential. The entrance of such a
man in Delaware politics was regarded as
a direct affront and an unwarranted inva-
sion of the inherent rights and privileges
Of the Senator who is assisting to break
up the solid South. All Of these insults
and affronts Senator Higgins-a noble
and high minded statesman-has been
resenting in tooth and toe-nail style not
commendable even in an extreme Repub
lican partisan, The Morning News de-
scribes the contest In the Republican
ranks as follows:
Any one who knows the gentle anC
patient disposition of Speaker Hoffeckei
can easily infer from his impassioned out
break Of indignation yesterday what sor
Of nasty stuff has been used by the op
ponents of the bill to break it down. W.
learned yesterday from a member of th'
Legislature that one of the opponents O.
the bill had uttered a vile slander anS
falsehood about the editor Of the Morn
ing News, without the color of occasion
but as we believe this man to be re
sponsible, we shall deal with him in a
more precise and conclusive place thar
the columns of newspaper.
This situation is very pathetic. Whill
the senator, his private secretary an,
those who seek office under them are en-
gagged in glorious and generous efforts Il
advance the interests Of the Unite,
States and to spread sweet harmony o..
copious prosperity all over Delaware it i
queer that the Morning News cannot joil
the benevolent band of sublimated saint
and add cartload of snivellinl
hypocrisy to the heap. It is pitifu
to see them fHii cat and abus
each other now that the Offices ar
almost in sight Il is pitiful to know
that Senator Higgins cannot leave Della
ware a few days only without the fearfu
apprehension that the Republican part.
win 60 astray 1t is pitiful that whei
he does come back here, or send his mild
hammered secretary, that his gentl
efforts at harmony are not appreciated
It is pitiful to see the solid South goin
adrift and unsaved simply because tn
Senator is compelled to devote a part Q
his time to keep up the alignment Of tn
Republican party in Delaware.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
A Partl.an,. vlew of the Csc

Partisan's View of the Case.
New York Herald
Ex-senator Palmer Of Michigan, the
newly appointed Minister to Spain, has
rather loose notions about fair play and
very large amount of misinformation.
He seems to know great many things
that aren't So" He is reported as
saying:
For the next quarter Of a century
the Republican party will remain in
power, and perhaps longer. The Demo
cratic party has history, but It is not a
good one. The party Is tainted by its
opposition TO the civil war; and no one
knows or can predict when that faint will
be removed.
SO far as the ex-Senator's prophecies
are concerned we simply hope the Repub.
lican party viii prove itself worthy Of
the high hopes entertained concerning it.
If it serves the people 20 their satisfae
tion il will stay where it is. If it does
not serve the people they will open tn,
door and invite the Republicans to g
into the outer darkness, where they vii
have leisure to gnash their teeth.
1t is offensive partisanship, however
TO misstate the truth. There were mem
bers of the Democratic party, as there
were also members Of the Republican
party, who were opposed to the war
But the Democratic rank and file Of th'
North-farmers, merchants. mechanics
and artisans--went into the army with 1
courage and heartiness that saved tn,
country and the flag. If the ex senator
has not yet learned about this he had bet
ter postpone his journey for a time anC
study the history of the times.
These are the facts, but Mr.. Palmer Of
Michigan will probably smile conde
scendingly and remark, 80 much tn,
worse for the facts

PUSHED to the wall the Panama canal
scheme has finally collapsed The fnan-
cial agent has failed to borrow $4,000,
900 in London for the expenses OF a sur
vey and for the maintenance Of the canal
works This will necessitate an abon-
donment of the machinery and imple-
ments to rust and ruin. Simultaneous
with this comes the news from Colon that
President Nunez Of the United States Of
Columbia viii not renew the conces-
sion to DeLesseps when it ex-
pires in 1892 Il seems likely
that the assets Of the Panama Canal Co.
will be sold to the highest bidder and
possibly no set Of capitalists can be found
to bid as high as American capitalists.
European capitalists cannot well afford
70 risk their money in the enterprise in
face Of the attitude Of the United States

SOME card writer sends a communica-
tion to the Every Evening critieizing
statement in our letter from Dover and
referring to "a paper called the EVENING
JOURNAL. Perhaps that is irony, per-
haps it is sarcasm, but it appears very
much like sap-headed Stiffness. The
card-writer exploits his nondescript COM
ments over the title of A Tax Paying
Democrat. He says that our people
are paying $50, 600 more taxes than
they should pay. He does not
specify He is full Of razzle-dazzle wis
dom, and the character of his communi-
cation prompts the belief that he is not
more careful with facts in calling himself
