As soon as the sun returns our &C.
tons in the field will again begin.
The inland party for more southern eX-
ploratiOnS will then start on their
journey across the inland ice. The
scientific observations will be con-
tinued along the coast and as much OF
the coast explored on slcdges and in
boats as the time before our retreat
will permit.
After the return of the inland party,
which will be about March |, we will
at once Degin our retreat. We shall
use every cndCavOr to protect our YES
sci from ice pressure and try to keep
her from being jammed or detained in
the ice packs. If we should be 50 UNI
fortunate as to lose our vessel, our re
treat is so planned that by the use Of q
combination of small boats which can
be drawn over ice, and Slcdgcs, we will
be able to reach our life boat on an
island off Louis Philips Land, and in
this cross over to the Falkland islands.
After we have crossed the Antarctic
Circle, if the time and weather con-
ditions will permit, we shall endeavor
to study the mainland and islands in
the region of Terra Louis Philippe.
Leaving here we shall probably reach
the Falkland islands about May /;
from there, after stopping at one or
two South American ports, we shall
steam direct for New York.

be gained by q large party on polar
expeditions. My party will not num-
Der more than twelve or fourteen in
Guiding the ships crew.
My scientific corps will not be moro
than four or five, and the other mem
bers Of the party shall be intelligent,
educated volunteers.
The long and pleasant voyage from
New York to the Falkland islands will
give me an excellent opportunity to
drill every member of my party for the
work which they are to undertake in
the South Polar regions
Much of the detail equipment will
be left to occupy the minds of the mem
bers of the expedition until the long
winter night. ! believe that by allow
ing each man to work out and perfect
his own equipment their minds will be
best and most effectively employed.
This being done, the greatest obstacle
the nervous depression during the
period of constant darkness-will be
happily overcome.
Our food will consist Of vast variety
of canned and dried foods, meats, vege.
tables and fruits-enough for three
years Coal and coal oil will be our
fuel, with an additional supply of seal
oil to fall back on.

Weather.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-President
Cleveland has suffered more or less from
dysentery during the past three weeks
and the excessively hot weather that has
prevailed during the past two days has
aggravated his trouble 50 that to-day. by
the advice of Surgeon II. NJ. OReiliy, OF
the army, who has been in attendance
the President denied himself to all visit
ors except the members OF his Cabinet
who hold their regular bi-weekly meeting
in his Office.
Mr.. Cleveland expected TO go down the
river on Friday afternoon for another
cruise on lighthouse tender with Cap
tain Robley Evans. The doctor advised
him not to go until the disorder was en-
tirely checked.
Unless the President is much improved
in the next few days 1t is very likely
that he will go away from Washington
on a brief visit to Gray Gables in order
To recuperate.

The women OF the South are to have
a monument.
II will be erected here In the cap'tai

their devotion to the southern cause and
their deeds Of self-denial and sacrifice.
The gallant Richmond Howitzers, who
never fail In what they determine to do,
have inaugurated the movement. and that
IL will succeed there can be, there must
be, no doubt.
The announcement. made exclusively IN
Sundays Dispatch. that the Howitzers
would take definite action in this matter
at their meeting last night caused quite
full turnout.
A RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
The idea was seized with great en-
thusiasm. and the following resolution
was unanimously adopted
BE IL resolved. That the Richmond
Howitzers' Battery and Association IN
aug,frate a movement TO erect monu-
ment to the women of the Confederacy'
and that the members here present pledge
