press at Fort Omaha for the court martial of
Major Worth for ordering Private Cedar
ouist to engage in target practice on Sun,
day. The court will convene August 18th,
and in the meantime Major Worth is under

established by President Lincoln that moth
iuv shall be done in the army on the Sabbath

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The Times says: Th
Royal Geographical society has received tn
following telegram from Baron Nordensi
iold: "The steamer Ragnvald Jarl, whic
conveyed the Wellman expedition to tn
polar regions, has been crushed in the ice net
Walden Island. Six men who went wit
the expedition, have returned to Norwa.
The other members of the party continue
northward on the ice, but it is evidently IN
possible for them to penetrate far, and tt
expedition is likely to return to the Swedi
houses at Mossel Bay. In August al
September there will probably be no ice
tween Enyl and Icefjord, and Mossel b

expedition is desirable" The Times, col
mentng on the foregoing, says Baron Nc
denskjold' opinion deserves the most serio
attention 1t is too late it remarks, to {
press an opinion upon the foolhardiness

rash adventure Doubtless Mr.. Wellma
countrymen will not delay in taking st'
to prevent the possibility of lamenta
catastrophe.
