 OTTAWA. Dec. 1s.--Reports have been received from outpost stations of the Northwest mounted police which state that rumors have been received m reeasd to the Kariuk which tend to show that the explorer SteffAnsson was not lett on the Ice by accident when the Karluk went out. but that he was deliberately deserted by tho men on the ship who sailed her away with the intention of leaving their commander to perish in the ice.
 This information is only r,,nor and the details are SO meagre as not to warrant belief until fuller reports gre received either confirming or deny ing 1t.
 The story says that there were dis csntions among the crew and that s,effansson was arbitrary and domi- neering and that there WIS practically Q mutiny before the c"mmandrr wa" deserted.

 There has always becn errat "rpo- sitinn in congress to tho abandoning of tho smaller posts in favor Of the much desired brigade posts and this Q, position comes from purely selfish pcrsonal reasons and not from any p;. ;.triotic desire on the part of the crislators to benefit the country or the military service.
