Three Expeditions Besides Peary's - Ds
sent Out This Year.
The executive committee of the Geographic
cal Club of Philadelphia, which recently do
cided to associate itself with Lieut.. Peary In his
proposed Arctic expedition, has issued q letter
asking for contributions to defray the expenses
Of the trip.
The letter saws: 'The cost OF the expedition.
inclusive OF its return will be $40 600 to s25 000
the greater portion of which IL is Mr.. Pesry's
purpose to contribute from his own individual
resources.
Three other expeditions are destined for the
polar regions this year. one from Norway, one
from Denmark and one from England. IL
should be the just pride Of every American TO
see the nations flag retained al the farthest
north. where it has already thrice been carried
by the nations gallant sons. Toward this real
ization the committee of the Geographical Club
appeals for aid to all patriotic citizens who
value acquisitions of any KIND made 10 human
knowledge and are DESTROYS Of seeing this
country foremost in the march of discovery"
Prof. Angelo Heilprin. who was at the head
of the Peary relief expedition last year and who
will probably join Lieut.. Peary ON the tour, u

The Railroad Engineer Appeal Case.

There slight expectation entertainsd
by some persons that the appeal Of James Len
non, the Lake Shore railroad engineer. from
Judge Kicks decision at Toledo, holding him
to be in contempt of court, would come up in
the Supreme Court Of the United States to-
day inasmuch as the press dispatches
had announced that application for his
release would be made soon as pos
sible on a writ OF habeas corpus. Offcials Of
the Supreme Court. however. do not look for
any proceedings here before Monday at the
earliest. The petition for the writ must neces-
sarilv be based upon the record Of the court ct
Toledo, and that will have 20 be certified by the
clerk, which. in all probability, cannot be done
before tomorrow or Saturday.

Gen. Tavarez Wins Another Battle.

The New York Herdlds Valparaiso special
says: The Heroids correspondent at Artigas
telegraphs that the revolutionists under Sen
Tavarez fought and routed the national forces
sent from Rio to aid the Castilhista troops. In
the battle it Is estimated GOO on both sides were
killed. Previous TO this battle Col. Pima had
engaged the CAstilhistas near Artigas and de-
feated them.
The Castilhistas were driven from Bage by
Gen. Tavarez, who captured eight cannon. He
used them in the battle with the national forces.
Ii is reported now that additional troops are
marching from Rio TO aid the local govern
ment. Despite the emphatic protests Of the
consul from Argentina the Brazilian authori-
ties continue TO enlist Ennis from Argentine n
the CAstilhista army.

HAD BEEN A BANKER.
How Mr.. EctIes was Confirmed as Comp
troiler.

How Mr.. Eci1Ies was Confirmed as Comp
troller.
A good story Is going the rounds just now,
which shows how Democratic Senator who
was opposed to the confirmation of Mr. Eckles,
of Illinois, to be Comptroller of the Currency,
was won over by Congressman Ben Cable,
OF Illinois, who was do;ug everything possible
TO have his friend End protege made Comptrol-
leE and who was greatly pleased when the
Senate finally confirmed his nomination. This
Senator is from the West, is said to be a good
poker player, and enjoys the game exceedingly.
He was opposed to Mr.. Eekles's confirmation on
the ground of his want Of banking experience,
as the gentleman nominated by President
Cleveland was said never to have had any ex-
perienee in financial matters.
tx Congressman Cable gave a dinner shortly
after Mr.. Eekles was nominated, and at this
dinner the Senator regretted exceedingly that
Mr. Eckles lacked experience in banking mat
ters and he told Mr.. Cable that he believed
that this fact would result in Eckles's rejection
by the Senate. To this Mr. Cable quietly re-
sponded:
why, Senator. that is nothing but q news
paper fake. Eckles has had plenty of banking
experience. know this personally because
have frequently been present when Eckles
was acting as banker"
"Ah," said the Senator blandly; THAT
makes it all right. He shall be one Of u.s."

TENNESSEE SOLONS,
a Large Number of Legislators at the Ma

L0nAl tapitaa.
A trainload of Tennessee Legislators who
left the Tennessee Capital 90 Tuesday, April
IL, arrived at the Pennsylvania Depot in
Washington on Wednesday night, April r.
There is nearly quorum Of the Mountain
State Legislature on this excursion. there be-
ing 10 members vino ont on this pleasure
trip. committee of resident Tennesseeans,
consisting of G. A. Hobby, Burton F. Doyle. and
b. n. Milliken, met the pilgrims at the depot
and escorted TO their hotels sneh Of the party
as cared to disembark. Most Of them pre-
ferred to remain in their Pullman cars. how
ever. and until late hour hilarity Yeigued in
the Pennsylvania yards.
This excursion to Washington by the solons
OF Tennessee is ostensibly for pleasure, but as
every one of the exes rsionists wears a picture
of President Cleveland in his hat il is thought
possible that pressure may be brought to bear
upon the Executive of the Nation in behalf Of
some Of the excursionists for some of the plHbls
yet remaining upon the patronage tree. How
ever this may be, the only candidates openly
announced among the jolly party for Office are
Representative Murphy. of Knoxville, who de-
sires to be the Public Printer, and w. l..
Crosthwaite, a leading colored Democrat Of
Tennessee, who wishes to represent the United
States as its Minister TO the Black Republic Of
Isyti. The visitors will remain in Washing
ton several days, and will take In all the points
of interest.

WILL, SALUTE GRANTS TOMB,

1t has been stated on good authority that
Secretary Herbert, Of the Navy Department.
has given considerable attention to the sugges-
ton that the great Naval Review in New York
Harber should Terminate in tho r.ns of Ma
tional salute before the tomb of Gen. Grant, at
Riverside Park. While approaching the force
Of the suggestion, and the sentimen tai associa-
tiops thar would accompany tho execution of
such plan, Secretary Herbert doubts its prac-
ticability. He has accepted the views Of ex-
perienced Naval officers that il would be dan
gerous undertaking for 20 many vessels to
attempt putting the plan into execution with
SO little water around them. He has, how
ever. consented that, after the ceremonies at
tending the passage of President Cleveland
through the feet have ended. the Phi%Idelphis
shall Procsed up the river alone and ire Ma
tonal salute before Gen. Grants tomb.

sLAINEs BROTHER BOUNCED.

Secretary of Agriculture Morton has been
pretty severely criticized for his removal of
Mr.. Robert Blaine, brother Of the late James
q. Blaine. of Maine, from the position Of Chief
of the Quarantine Division of the Bureau Of
Animal Industry, Secretary Morton explains
by saying that when be took charge of the
agricultural Department he found Mr.. Blaine
occupying position with practically no duties
TO perform, and he was drawing . salary of
s., 900 year. He was holding one of the most
evident sineeurss in the Department, and he
could not beconsistently allowed to remain, even
though he was the brother of the late Secretary
of State. If he had been President Cleveland's
brother. Mr.. Morton said emphatically, the re-
suit would have been the same. Mr.. Morton
stated that the fact was that the permits for
the importation and quarantine of animals, as
well as the records and accounts of the quar-
aatins stations, have all been made and kept
by the Bureau Of Animal Industry, and all that
Mr.. Blaine did was to visit the stations (of
which there were but three) few times in
the course of year. An examination of these
reports show that they were of little value.
Mr.. Blaine's Office was sinecure, and In ac-
eordance with the policy inaugurated in the
Agricultural Department by Mr.. Morton he had
to go.

THE SOLDIER HERMIT.
Lieut.. Brumback Retarns 10 Solitary Life
in the Idaho Woods.


First Lieut.. Virgil j. Brumback, 2d u. 8.
Inf, whose strange disappearance from Wash.
ington a couple Of weeks ago caused consider
able talk in military circles has boon found A
telegram was received at the War Department
last week from Col. Carin. ut Fort Sherman,
Idaho in which it Is stated that Lieut.. Brum-
back had been seen in boat on the St Joseph
River, apparently making for his old cabin in
the wilderness. The Leuteuant's strange ac-
tions have been the subject of much ommeut
and speculation in military circles, but accord
ing TO accounts Of those who know him init
mstely, it seems but natural result of his
peculiar temperament Lieut.. Brumback was
born in Indiana. and belongs to wealthy
family of Boise City, Idaho. He was appoint
cd cabot at the Military Academy in 1877,
from which he graduated in 1881. He was an
excellent student but Of retiring nature, pre-
ferring solitude to any companionship. At
Omaha. few months previous to his recent
morc pronounced troubles. he had a slight dis
agreement with brother officer for which he
was court martialed and mildly reprimsnded.
Tho disgrace seemed to prey on bis mind. He
became morose and restless, stunning society
even mere than before. and finally applied for
leave of absence. This being granted. instead
of going home he went up into the Wilderness
OF northern ldsbo in KooteDsi County. where
he constructed q rude dugout and lived the life
OF hermit. While there he sent TO the War
Department. his resignation from tbs Army,
which was not accepted because Of his condi-
tina On the contrary, hs was ordered to
appear be, } the Retiring Board, and when he
failed 10 appear. Gen. Carlin sent a detachment
from Fort sherman TO bring him in. He came
to Washington with Lieut.. Leyden, and was
ordered to report to ST. Elzabeth's Insane
Asylum for examination. instead of which he
eluded his escort and has evidently betaken
himself to hermit life again.
In view of his recent action, and also because
he is believed to be sane on all other subjects
it is highly probable that the War Department
will accept Lieut.. Brumhsck's resignation aud
leave him to his own devtees or the care OF lis
friends. The latter think that he realizes his
mental trouble and has gone TO the wilderness
in hopes that nature may effect cure.

He Complains that He Is not Allowed 20
Visit Reservations.
Secretary Of Interior Hoke Smith received q
letter last week from Albert G. Hopkins of
Canton, s. d., who signs himself "The Indian
Messiah" in which he protests against the
action of the Acting Commissioner of Indian
Affairs in refusing him permission to visit the
Indians on their reservations. Tho Indian
Messiah says: 1.-THE Indians know as we'll as
you that Messiahs. being still human, arc sub
ject to human Limitations. Will il help the
good feeling on the part of the Indians toward
the Government to know or believe that their
Messiah has been purposely forbidden by the
Government to visit them? These questions
answer themselves and there ia only one an
