OBJECTS AND RESULTS
Of the Latest Explorations in tlic Far North
ern Jleglons ,
For the purpose of obtaining some
Idea of the general nature and probable
scientific value of the explorations made by
Lieutenant Gretly , an associated press
agent visited him a few days ago. Grcely
stated that the object of the Lady Franklin
expedition was to establish a polar station ,
4 one of thirteen suggested by Lieutenant
Wayprecht , of Austria , who discovered
Franz Joseph land. Simultaneously ob
servations of all the physical phenomena
were to be taken. The complete programme
that was to be followed was arranged by an
international polar congress , in which rep
resentatives of thirteen nations took part.
The observations , in making which the
greatest possible accuracy was to bo hod ,
were those of declination and deviation of
the magnetic needle , temperature of air ,
sea height of barometer , and meau and
maximum rise and fall of tides. The ex
plorations were to bo merolv Incidental to
other objects. The expedition was fitted
out under the authority of the United
States consjrcss. It was composed of three
officers of the army , one acting surgeon and
nineteen enlisted men from the army.
Stores for tw-nty-seven months were
put on the "Proteus. " which left St.1
Johns , July 7,1881 , with the party. She
touched at Diaco Island and Uppernavik to
procure sledges , dogs , skins and dog food.
Two Esquimaux ? were added to the party
at Proven. Landing was made at Corey Is
land la north water , and the provisions
cached by Nores In 1875 , in the "Alert"
were found to be in good condition. At
Littleton Island Greely personally recovered
the English Arctic mail left by Sir Allen
Win * In the < 'Pandora' In 1870. At Carl
Bitter Bay , in Kennedy channel , a cache of
provisions for use on the retreat was made.
It was the original intention to establish a
polar station at "Water Course bay , but
heavy masses of ice rendered Water Course
bay exceedingly dangerous anchorage.
Moving to Discover Harbor , the station was
there established on the site occupied by the
English expedition of 1875. The erection
of a house was at once commenced and
stores and equipments landed. On the 28th
of August came the parting between the
Gree'y ' party and the men of the 'Proteus. ' >
The little band of adherents on the frozen
shore watched the "Proteus" as she steam
ed slowly down Lady Franklin bay. On tie
evening of the same day the temperature
sank below freezing point and the icy Arc
tic winter was on tnem in earnest. Their
.house was finished about a week after the
"Proteus" left. It was named , In honor
of Senator Conger , Fort Conger. During
the first month the cold affected the men
more than at any subsequent time at Fort
( Conger. Later on the temperature sank
from 50 to C5 degrees below zero , and so re
mained for days at a time. But even in
that weather the cook's f worite amusement
was dancing bare-headed , bare-armed ,
with slippered feet , on top of a snowdrift.
During the day the men 'dressed in ordi
nary outside clothing , but their flumels
were very heavy. Five men were generally
for part of the day engaged in scientific
work , under Greely's direction , and in the
duties of the camp. The remainder were
employed generally about one hour a day ,
and devoted the rest of the time to amuse
ment. All slept on bunks. The quarters
were heated by a large coal stove , the aver
age heat maintained being 50 degrees above
zero. Checkers , cards , chess and reading
were the amusements of the evening. The
life , Greely said , was far from lonely , and
many of the men said they had never passed
two happier years than those spent at Fort
Conger.
On the 15th of October the sun left them
for 135 days and the twilight , varying from
half an hour to twenty-fourhoure , succeed
ing for two months was so dim that the dial
of a watch could not be read by It. On
' - April llth the sun came above the horizon
and remained there 135 days , giving the
party a great sufficiency of midnight sun.
During three months stars were visible con
stantly. The constellations of Orion's Belt
and the Great Bear were the brightest.
The north star looked down from almost
over head. Standing alone outside the fort
on the snow drift these night scenes were
wierdly grand. ' To the north flamed the
aurora borealis and bright constellations
were set like Jewels around the glowing
moon. Over everything was a dead silence ,
so horribly oppressive that man alone is al
most tempted to kill himself. The astrono
mer of the party said that with the naked
eye a star of one degree smaller magnitude
than can be seen here in the same war
might be discovered. The moon would
remain in sight from seven to twelve
days at a time. The thermometer regis
tered on June 30th the highest temperature
at Lady Franklin bay which we knew during
our stay. It was 52 degrees above zero.
The lowest was in February , 1883 , 66 de
grees below. In this February our mer
cury froze and remained .solid for fifteen
days. The mercury in the thermometer in
variably rose during storms or high winds.
The highest barometer was slightly above
81 inches : the lowest slightly below 29 inch
es. The greatest variationH were in the
winter. Tne electrometer , an instrument
used to ascerUin the pressure of elec-
k tricity , was up , but not the slightest results
were obtained. The displays of aurora
were very good , but not compared with
those seen at Uppernavik or Disco Island.
The lieutenant then detailed the further
trip of the party , and their subsequent suf
fering up to the time-of the rescue.
In conclusion he said he considered it im
possible to reach the north pole br the
route of the "Jeannette , " and considered
the only feasible route to be by way of
Tranz Joseph land.
DISPUTED ACCOUNTS
For the Settlement cf W7iich Proper Steps are
Aoto Being Taken.
The Omaha Herald says that Mr. John S.
Blair , assistant attorney of the department of
justice , and Judge Wilson , of the firm of
Shellabarger & Wilson , of Washington , have
been taking the depositions of various Union
, - Pacific officials , in the action brought by the
company against the United States , for a set
tlement of disputed accounts. This action
has a two-fold object , first , to find to what
amount the government is indebted to the
railway for the transportation ojE supplies ,
mails , etc. ; and , second , to find what is due
the government from the railway under the
Thurman sinking fund act of 1878. The facts
are about as follows : The Union Pacific has
been doing transportation work for the United -
ed States ever since 1871 , under the supposi
tion that when presented its bills would be
audited according to the charter , "at a fair
and reasonable compensation , " which was
"not to be more than paid to private parties
for like service. " The road was also to pay
into the treasury 5 per cent , of its net earn
ings as a sinking fund to provide for the pay
ment of the debt due the government. In
1S78 the Thurman act increased the payment
to be made" by the road to 23 per cent , of its
net earnings. When the company presented
its accounts , the bills for transportation were
thrown out by the United States officials , who
alleged that they were not based on a fair
and reasonable compensation , and the claim
of the company that the cost of certain items
of permanent improvement should be deducted
ducted from the earnings of the road before
the 23 per cent , was taken out , was disputed.
To settle the matter the present suit was
commenced , but when or how it will be deter
mined is another matter. The case will come
before the court of claims at Washington in
November. _ .
Seren 3Iincrs Suffocated by Gas.
Shamokin. ( Pa. ) dispatch : Fire broke out in
Buckridge mine slope , 1,500 feet from the sur
face. The company bought the Greenback
colliery adjoining , the workings of which are
higher than those of the Buckridge colliery.
The intention was to bore through from the
Greenback to the Buckridge colliery , and then
turn the creek into both , and by flooding put
out the fire. "While the men were engaged in
this work the gas suddenly poured in from the
BuckridRo mine , and , before they could es
cape , seven men fell victims to deathly eras.
It was impossible to reach the bodies , as both
mines aru full of ROB and the fire is increasing.
Even the mules were burned.
The fire hod not abated at laitt accounts , al
though two heavy pumps bad been forcing
water down the slope all day. Both the Buck-
rldgo and Greenback collcrlcs are full of gas ,
and a number of men on the surface wore ov
ercome by the escaping gas.

BISMAKCK'S PLANS.
.rl Growing Coolness JMicccn Gcnnany and
Enr/land Apparent.
The growing coolness between Ger
many and England Is attracting much atten
tion , and Is beginning to be looked upon as
serious. The general opinion is that Bis
marck is sorely irritated at Gladstone's
contemptuous and semi-hostile attitude
toward the schemes of German colonization ,
in western Africa , in which it is notorious
that Bismarck is greatly interested. It is
hoped , however , that Bismarck will re
frain from making any such open manifesta
tion of his dislike to the present govern
ment as it would result in alienating that
large and powerful body of Englishmen
who sincerely desire to maintain cordial re
lations with Germany. Much depends upon
the coming parliamentary election. It is
certain that If the tories come into posses
sion of the government , England willspeed-
ily become a member of the Austro-Garman
alliance. In the meantime there in great
curiosity concerning the import to England
of the conference at Varzin between Prince
Bismarck and Count Kalnoky , the Austro-
Hungarian premier. It is freely asserted
that the German chancellor Is disgusted
with the failure of the Egyptian confer
ence and Gladstonicn policy generally. He
is planning a joint note from Austria and
Germany to England demandingthe prompt
settlement of the Alexandria indemnity
claims and the enforcement of proper sani
tary regulation in the Egyptian allies.

A DESPERATE MAN .
Be Indulges in Arson and Follows It Up
tri'i 2lftirder.
A constable sold under execution a lot of
vheat in the stack belonging to David Avery ,
i farmer , living four miles southeast of Vlen-
la. 111. Just as the constable was leaving ,
Ivery went into the field armed with a double
jarreled shotgun , set fire to the stacks and re-
nained until they completely burned. He then
started towards town , and on the way met
Fohn Pickens and Daniel Gage , farmers , nnd
joth neighbors to him. . He spoke friendly to
hem , but he had no sooner passed them than
ic turned and fired , killing Gage. He then
proceeded to the farm of John Dunn , about a
nile distant , and set fire to his steaks of wheat ,
inned parties are now in search of the despe-
ate man.
The Crops Abroad ,
The Mark La ne Expressn reviewing the
rrain trade of the past week , says : The wea-
her is unaltered. A large proportion of
rrainhas been harvested with the best re-
lults. Wheat returns show 54 per cent of a
rleld , which Is over the average ; thirty per
: ent Is the average. Other crops are slightly
mder average. The -wheat trade-Is nominal ,
few English wheat declined two shillings dur-
ng the week. The price of wheat ranges 10
ind flour as lower than In 1883. New grain is
linty owing to excessive heat. Sales of Eng-
ish wheat for the past week were 27,528 quar-
ers at 38s 2d per quarter , against 41,799 quar-
ers at 43s lOd per quarter for the correspond-
ng period last year. Foreign wheat at Lon-
lon is demoralized both for the present and
irospectlve trades.

There SbftH Be 1T Alps.
When Napoleon talked of invading
Italy one of his officers said : "But , sire ,

man these would have seemed simply
insurmountable , but Napoleon respond

A Lie Nailed.
Competing Insurance Companies
have been circulating unfavorable re
ports , in regard to the condition of the
State Insurance Company , of Des
Moines , Iowa.
Auditor Brown , of Iowa , has just
given this Company a thorough inves
tigation ( and is now doing the same to
all Iowa Insurance Companies ) and
publishes the follow ing in his official
statement : "The Company has an ac
tual paid up Capital of § 200,000 , is
financially sound , and reliable , one of
the strongest Companies in the State ,
and is justly entitled to the confidence
of the public. This Company has a
surplus as regards policy holders of
§ 200,812.18. " This is after ruling out
over-due farmers' notes , judgments and
interest , office furniture and supplies ,
$257,000. These assets are good for at
leasi 75 cents on the dollar which would
give the Company a surplus of about
§ 400,000. You can rest assured that
the Company is solid , and these un
favorable stories told and published by
competitors are told and published to
get away the business from this popu
lar western company.

Hardened Liver.
Five years ago I broke down with kidney
and liver complaint and rheumatism.
Since then I have been unable to bo about
at all. My Hvorbecame hard like wood ; my
llmba were puffed up and filled wiih water.
All the best physicians agreed that noth
ing could euro me. I resdlvecl to try nqj ;
Bitters ; ! have used seven bottles ; the hard
ness has all gone from my liver , the swcl ;
inu from my limbs , and it has worked ,
miracle In my case ; otherwise I would ha' , '

Porortf and Suffering.

and suffering for years , caused by a sicfc
family and large bills for doctoring.
I was completely discouraged , until one
year ago , by the advice of my pastor , I com
menced using Hop Bitters , and In one
month we were all well , and none of us
have seen a sick day since , and I want to '
say to all poor men , vou can keep your
families well a year with Hop Bitters for less
than one doctor's visit will cost. I know
