WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.-Acting Secre-
tary Grant and Brigadier General Flagler
had an audience with Secretary Foster
yesterday, in which they renewed their
protest against taking possession of Sandy
Hook for quarantine purposes. They
urged that it would paralyze military
operations on the Hook and lay the en-
tire country roundabout liable to infec-
tion. Secretary Foster made several Wig
orous and characteristic remarks and the
interview terminated abruptly without
Secretary Foster reversing his action in
the premises.
Acting for the Whole People.
Among other points which the secretary
made in reply to the war department Of
ficials he said that the stopping of mill
tary operations was a very insignificant
matter as compared with stopping the in
roads of cholera, and that while the occu-
patton of Sandy Hook might affect few
hundred, or perhaps thousand people
around there, it would be of great benefit
to the country at large, and he (Secretary
Foster) was acting for the American peo-

PEARYs ARCTIC EXPLORATION.
He Finds Land Where Flowers Grow
and Animal Life bouds-

and ANIMAL Life "A Douds-
ST. JOHNS, Nd, Sept. 13.-The Peary
expedition which left this port in the
summer of 1891 to make explorations in
North Greenland returned here yesterday
on the Kite. One member of the party
Nerhoeff-lost his life in the ice fields
around Mccormick bay. Otherwise the
expidition met with no serious mishaps
The party wintered at Redcliffe, and by
the middle of April the wheather had
sufficiently moderated to permit an ex-
ploration of the immediate eighborhood
APRIL % the work of transferring head
quarters to Mccormick bay was begun.
This proved difficult task and not until
May was the new camp established.
Journey to the Far North.
May Is Lieutenant Peary, accom-
panied by three Esquimaux and
sixteen dogs, started on his long
journey to the north. June the
head of St. Georges ford was reached.
The northward journey was continued as
far north as the SD parallel, when an inn
penetratable mountain chain compelled
the party to defect their course to the
southeast. An opening was finally dis
covered and on July the party found
itself at the head of a great bay in latitude
81. 81 longitude "a. This was named indie
pendence bay in honor of the day of its
discovery, and the glacier flowing north
into it was christened Academy glacier.
Returned Safely to Camp.
The land in this region was almost en-
tirely free from snow. 1t was covered with
glacial debris and stones of all sizes. Flow
grew plentifully. Musk oxen, foxes,
hares, and several species of birds were
also abundant. July the return journey
was begun, and twenty-one days later.
after undergoing unspeakable hard ships,
the almost worn out party returned to Nc
Cormick bay. after having travelled a dis
tance of 300 miles. In the meantime.the
Kite had arrived, and two days later she
steamed back to Redcliffe.
The Fate of Verhoeff
Eight days We're spent at Redcliffe in a
search for Nerhoef, who had gone on a
geological trip and failed to return. He
was traced to the edge of a glacier and
doubtless perished in one of the numerous
crevasses- Many meteorological observa
tions were made and much valuable
chronological material was secured in ad
dition to the geographical and geological
discoveries.

LOON LAKE HOUSE, n. Y, Sept. 49,
An unexpected complication has added
itself to Mrs Harrison's illness and her
condition now is SO grave that it will pre-

through northern and central New York,
which the president had anticipated max

A Gallant Irish Bow.

The biographer of General Crawford
tells the following story: During We'll
lington's campaign in the Peninsula, the
Light division was defeated by the
French under Marshal Ney, and forced
to retreat across river. A young sol
der from the north of Ireland, named
Stewart, was nicknamed THE Boy" as
he was only nineteen years of age and
of gigantic stature.
He had fought bravely, and was one
Of the last men who came down to the
bridge, over which the division was re-
treating. He refused to pass over, but
gazing at the French with grim look.
said IN loud voice:
$50 this is the end of our boasting:
This is our first battle, and we retreat!
The Boy Stewart will not live to hear
that said"
Striding forward, he fell upon the adj
vancing Frenchmen with his bayonet,
and died fighting.
Gallant, but rashv' the reader says.
Yes, but SO were the unyielding warriors
at ThermopylB.

About half past II one night the con-
cierge. in delivering letter at the door
of M. Meilhac, noticed that the entrance
hall was full of smoke, and that flames
were issuing from wooden panel. He
Immediately alarmed the other families
