He Talks About His Proposed Expedition
A rIfin


To the Arctic Regions.
Lieut. r. T. Peary, in an interview the other
day. said - am progressing steadily with my
plans, and am kept constantly busy. The OBJ
iects of this new expedition are various. First
among them is the determination of the ex-
tent of the land masses north Of Greenland
proper, and if they 20 up TO the North Pole,
well and good. To reach the North Pole,
however IS not d direct object with me, Int if
! get there Immediately, as may, so much the
better
Other objects of my expedition will be to
determine the unknown east coast OF Green
land from Independence Bay southwark to Cape
Bismarck, to determine the transverse profile
ofGreenand near the nth parallel by a traverse
from Cape Bismarck to Ingiefield Gulf with a
continuation of the study of the race of little
Arctic iighIanders. and of the characteristics
Of the inland ice in North Greenland, and the
movements glaciers in and about Inglefeld
Gulf and Whale Sound. Whether Mrs Peary
will accompany the expedition is as yet I'M
decided.
"As to Verhpf, ! shall make it my first
business TO inquire of him among the natives
and to seek traces of his last whereabouts
alive or dead.
The expedition itself will start about the
latter part of June. Whence ] cannot say.
Nor am able to give the slightest information
all paid by myself aud ! do not expect
them to exceed at the utmost $4,000.
This money l am raising by a series of lectures.

sponsibility in connection with the expedition.

A Terrible Collision.

A dispatch received from Nagasaki, japan,
states that S5 lives were lost by the sinking of
the japanese warship Chishimarukan, which
was in collision in the Inland Sea with the
British steamer Ravenna. The vessel filled
and sank so rapidly that there was oppor-
tunity afforded to lower the boats away. Some
of the lost went down in the ship while others
were drowned before assistance could reach
them from the Ravenna. The latter was badly
damaged. her bow being stove in, and it re-
quired the utmost effort to keep her afi0at.
The passengers on the Ravenna were trans
ferred to the steamer Empress of Japan, bound
for Shanghai which came up shortly after the
collision occurred. This was done because the
Ravennas officers were afraid they would not
succeed in getting their vessel into port.

New Gold Fields Discovered.

The gold fields in the southwest portion of

as an organization having for its object the
working and operating of the precious metal in

Many prominent men are members of the COM
pany, among whom can be mentioned Senator
Perkins, of Kansas. The plan, it is said, is to
enact a law at the short session OF Congress al
lowing settlers to locate on mining claims
under mining law. If this fail, there will be
10000 or $4,000 men rushing pell-mell into the
gold regions, in the hope that the Government

1t is reported that the United States Govern
ment will interfere with the scheme of Cuba
to farm out its customs revenues to n French
syndicate. German banks hold a mortgage of
5000, 100000, bearing three per cent. interest on
Cuban customs revenues. This debt has been
running for seven years The customs and
internal revenue receipts of Cuba generally
amount to about 1913 900 daily, and were turned
i'll by the Government to apply to the interest
and principal of the mortgage The receipts
have fallen off some S., 100000 in the past year,
however, which has crippled the Spanish Gov
ernment so that it has imposed a direct tax on
the Cuban people to make up the deficiency.

To Stop immigration.

At the concluding session of the Senate Com.

ject Of suspending immigration for one year

some cholera germs which the Senators look ed
at under the microscope. All the doctors stated
that they had grave apprehensons of cholera
visiting this port unless immigration was
stopped. They also stated that the only dan
ger from cholera was from the steerage passen-
gers bringing it into the country.

A Very Fine Distin ction.

Adjt-Gen. Kell, in reply to comments which
had been made about the flag of Georgia and
not the flag of tho United States floating over
the State Capitol, says: This is proper, since
this is a union of Confederated States, and not
an Empire over which floats common flag.
At the Capital is National House of Repre-
sentatives and it has n right to float the Union
flag, but only State flags are foated over State
Capitols"

the Electoral vote may be divided between
Harrison and Cleveland. All the Counties, with
the exception of San Francisco, give Harrison
plurality of 6,422. The returns from all but
nine precincts in San Francisco give Cleveland
plurality of 6,112 "A number of irregulari-
ties in the returns from the remaining pre-
cncts in the city is delaying the canvass. The
plurality. so far rs known, is so narrow, and in
view of the fact that the vote for the Electors
VARIES the chances of the division of the vote
on the individual electors are very probable.

a large crowd of spectators. Kolb said the day
before the ceremonies that he would not attempt
to be sworn in, and that he would do nothing
to bring himself before the people of the State
in connection with the inauguration. So there
was no trouble from him. He seems to have
reached the conclusion he will not be able to

Gen. Green B. Raum. Commissioner of Pen

the report there were borne on the pension

l99.90s more names than were carried on the
rolls ut the close of the last fiscal year. Those
pensioners are classified as follows

APPROPRIATION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1898.
1.-THE appropriation for the fiscal year 1884,
the report states " is S1i4, $685. COO Taking the
cost of the allowances made during the first
four months of this fiscal year as basis for a
calculation as to the cost for pensions during
the fiscal year, there will be deficiency in the
appropriation of $40. sos, 621, for which l have
made an estimate.
The National tribune., 1892-12-08
ESTIMATE FOR APPROPRIATION FOR FISCAL
WEAR lS@l

al have this day forwarded to you an esti-
mate for an appropriation of $lG5 100000 for
pensions for the fiscal year 1891. You will
appreciate the difficulty of forecasting the
probable cost of this service for period SO far
in advance. If as many allowances of pension
shall be made during that fiscal year as were
made during the fiscal year 1892 the amount
estimated for will not be sufficient to meet the
requirements of the service; there viii, how
ever, be ample time after six months OF that
fiscal year shall have elapsed TO estimate for
any deficiency that may probably arise, and
the knowledge of the cost Of the work for that
six months will enable the Commissioner Of
Pensions to make more accurate calculation Of
the cost of the service for the entire year than
is possible with the figures now before me; and
as Congress will be in session no embarrass-
ment as TO payments need arise.
