GENERAL SECRETARY HAYES and T. E. Mcclure, of the Knights of Labor, left Washington on the 18th. S. A. French, of the executive committee, who was also in that city, will remain to attend to any business which may arise in connection with the authori- ties there. All the officers expressed themselves as highly gratified at the success of their interview with the president, and as feeling satisfied that the cause of labor would be best served at this time by the abandonment of the strike, proper terms being secured and the immediate prosecution of the in- vestigation by the commission to be appointed by the president.
 A DISPATCH from Tromsoe, Norway, said that the yacht Saide touched at Danes island on the north coast of Spitzhergen July 6. The yaehtsmen found on the island Prof. Oven, the geologist, who was left there by the American polar expedition under Wal ter Wellman, to await their return and to guard the depot established on the island. The yacht met an experienced walrus hunter, Capt, Johannesen, com ing from the northwest. It was his opinion that the Ragnvald Jarl, We'll mans steamer, had been beset by ice and crushed. The Saide left some sup plies with Prof. Oven. He declined to return with the yacht, as he was pledged to Mr. Wellman to guard the depot until the Ragnvald Jarl's return
 THE labor demonstration held in Cooper Union, New York, to express sympathy with the strikers in Chicago and the west was an extraordinary outpouring of people.
