Routes Taken by Explorers Of the
Arctic Region
IN LIEUT.. PEART'S STEPS
Map Prepared to Show the Progress Of
Explorations The PerilS Always
Encountered.

A desire TO secure just credit for the
work OF American explorers in the Arctic
regions, led TO the preparation of very
full and accurate chart of the regions
about the North Pole. II shows the tracks
Of seventy-six explorations, beginning
with the probable route Of Sir John Frank
Lin in 1S4548, and closing with that Of
Lieut.. Peary i'll 1895. 1t also outlines
The exploration of coasts, showing the ad-
vances in geographic knowledge as the re-
suit of the work OF forty-eigbt explorers,
beginning with the Norwegian explora-
tions in the middle of phe last century, and
coming down 10 the latest work by Lieut..
Peary.
The map is the first official publica-
tion showing the extent and outline OF
Lieut.. Peary's explorations. 1t was pre-
pared under the immediate supervision OF
Mr.. g. L. Littlehales, of the photographic
Office, by the direction and under the gen.
eral oversight OF Capt. Charles D. Sigsbee,
chief of the bureau.
Gen. Greely looked over the work as il
progressed, and made some important sug-
gestions and corrections. II was under

FROM HAWAII.
President Dole in Favor with the Natives -Kilauea Ready to Boil Over-The Opium Traffic.

President Dole in Favor with tho Natives
 -Kilauea Ready to Boil Over-The Opium
 Traffic.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-The Hon. olulu correspondent of the United Press, writing under date of January 15, per steamer Coptic, which arrived yesterday afternoon, says:
 President Dole was received last week in Kona, Hawaii, with strong demonstrations of regard from the na- tives. This indicates that there was no foundation for the report sent ut from here by the Chicago Associated Press to the effect that the natives of Hawaii were dissatisfied with the pres ent government and intended to bring about secession.
 There is great great rush of visi- tors to the great spectacle at Kilauea. The rise of lava is reported as very rapid and it will probably soon over- flow.
 A strong movement is in progress for the coming session of the legisla- ture to license the importation of opium and its sale to Chinese only. Many honorable men favor this for the reason that the present illicit impor- tation and traffic exerts a very cor rupting influence upon officers of the police and customs. The president and cabinet believe that any legalizing of the traffic must in- crease the consumption. Unless con- vinced otherwise they will oppose the scheme. From past experience they believe that no restrictions can pre- vent an extensive consumption of the drug by the natives, whose intemper- ate use makes it very fatal.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Justice Field to Retire at the Close of tbi.
 Term at the Request of the President
 Ills Successor Agreed Upon-wil short
 " Recognize Cuban BelIigerency-Clara
 Barton Refused Passports by the State
 Department.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-A Washington special says:
 Associate Justice Field has yielded to the long standing desire of President Cleveland and agreed to retire. He Will go upon the retired list at the close of this term of the supreme court, II he keeps the promise he made re- gently to the president and Senator White, of California.
 The senator is authority for the above statement and the information that the name of Justice Fields sue cessor has been practically agreed upon in the person of Judge Erskine M. Ross, whom President Cleveland in ms hrst term appointed on the United States circuit bench in California.
 Conditions may arise within the next ten days under which President Cleve- land will see his way clear for a recog- milton of Cuban belligerency.
 The interview with Congressman McMillan, of Tennessee, printed in yes- terday mornings dispatches, in which he predicts that the president will shortly recognize the belligerents. found confirmation in many sources here yesterday.
 Administration men have been guarding secret for the past two days. 1t seems, which relates to the presi- dents Cuban policy. They say that Mir Cleveland will play trump diplo- matlc card in a few days that will make his foreign policy more popular, Ii possible than it was after his Vene- zuelan message.
 The most accurate information to be obtained on the subject is that the president has intimated to Senor de Lome, the Spanish minister, that un- less Spain suppresses the rebellion in a short time the independence of the island will be recognized by this gov ernment, to the end that protection may be afforded the lives and property of Americans in Cuba.
 Much anxiety is shown at the state department over Clara Barton's Red Cross expedition into Armenia in the face of orders from the sublime porte Miss Barton has been denied special passports by the state department, and will be given no recognition by the representatives of the American gov ernment in ConstantinOple.
 Secretary Olney regards her mission under the circumstances as grave l. this country in further difficulty with the Turkish government. If Miss Bar ton is peacefully ejected, the state de- partment will not enter protest; if she is maltreated our government will un- doubtedly interfere.
 While Secretary Olney approved of Miss Barton's mission when at first proposed, and in fact suggested it, he does not approve of undertaking it in face of the protests of the sultan.

MAKING FOR PEACE,
The London Times Gratified Over the Re. ceipt of Pacific News from Washington.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-To-day's Times gives an unusual prominence to a Washington dispatch sent to it by it's correspon dent, Mr. Smalley, assert. ing that he has personal knowl- edge of the existence in the White House and the state department of strong and cordial wish for an early and complete settlement of the dispute with Great Britain on terms that will involve no discredit to either government and also the exist ence of the belief that such a settle ment may be speedily reached Mir. Smalley adds that good advice has al- ready been given to Venezuela and may be given more effectively.
 The Times, commen nting on the fore going and Mir. Smalley's assertion that there has been sudden change in the spirit of the senate, will express its pleasure at the cheering news. The absence of desire to hasten Senator Davis resolution, it says, will allow time for the forces that are making for peace to operate.
 The paper notes the conciliatorv and modest language of Justice Brewers language to Secretary Olney, but says it thinks it must be obvious to the Americans themselves that the origin of the Venezuelan commission and the manner in which it's creation is re- garded in the United States, make it altogether impossible for Great Britain to recognize its doings either directly or indirectly.

 sion Stirs Up the London Globe. LONDON, Jan. 22.-The Globe com ments angrily on the letter of the United States Venezuelan commission suggesting that Great Britain and Venezuela be invited to submit to the commission all of the evidence in their possession. The Globe says: Great Britain will never allow this monstrous claim to determine the ter ritory of British colony within its jurisdiction. No power could admit it except at the close of long and dis astrous war. Were such a demand made by any other power, our only re- ply would be to hand its ambassador his passports and mobilize the fleet. Will these pernicious commissioners undertake to answer for the effect upon their own countrymen of forcing the premier to snub the American sec retary of state?"

 LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 22.-Hon. Os- car Turner, who attained fame in con- gress over a decade ago, and became known all over the country as the "outlaw," is dying at his home in this city, aged 80 years.

He has been in private life for ten years.
