What has slnco become known does not alter the unpopular . : views I then expressol. But as I discussed . the whole subject without referring to Mr. . Iseln , I wish now to do justice to him. The facts concerning Mr. Icln had not at that time been made , ubltc. I Is known now that be has done a real service to his country. I Ills proposal to the committee to cal or all , the races and resal them on Lord Dunraven's ; own terms Is one of the most magnanimous acts In the history , I do not say nf yachting merely , but o ( international relations. I has " . set us right with England and with that \ great body or European public opinion which neither we nor any other nation can afford to despise. I was a generous and manly act , and It Is nethlng less than deplorable that tim New York Yacht club committee could not see . their way to accepting It. Once more they pronounced their everlasting "Impossible. " They would not even communicate Mr. Ise- lin's proposition to Lord Dunraven. They allowed - lowed It to be supposed that Lord Dunraven : knew or It and exposed him to reproaches , based upon an assumptm : ot knowifdgo : which did not exist. I Is now admitted that ho heard or It for the first time from the correspondence published In the newspapers. . I do not suppose for a mommt that the crm- o. mltee intended a discourtesy , but I think they might have avoided the appearance or one. Lord Dunraven's suprlse at learning or "I . I Mr Iselin's proposal was great and It Is more than probable that ho would have accepted - cepled It Ir he had hall the chance , and accepted - , , cepted It eagerly. I Is therefore neither upon Lord Dunraven nor upon Mr. Iseln that the responsibility or the ultimate fiasco rests , but upon the committee. The refusal Is theirs and the burden theirs. They have not , with all their good intentions and technical Imowledge and their Immense confidence In their own infallibility , shown themselves equal to the duties which devolved upon _ tbem. HAILS TiE NEW CHALLENGE. Now comes a new challenge for America's f cup \ from Mr. C. D. Rose , owner or the Satan Ia. The very delight \vlth which It ' : : Is received shows how uneasy was the : American mind over the disastrous ending ' i to the old one. "it Is impossible to exprel other than unbounded satisfaction at the challenge , " says a leading New York journal , which has been the greatest offender In its treatment o ( the sUject. Wo often hear I In these days of government ! y newspapers. I I I a kind or government which baa disadvantages - advantages , but there Is a case where It may be userul. The newspapers , as the organs or an intelligent and honorable public opinion. may take this new challenge out or the hands or the New York Yacht club com- mittee. They may Insist , and I hope will Insist , on a fir course. That 19 the chief 1)oint. I Is at any rate the point or attack. Those English papers which have reproached I us have reproached us for that II reson. No fair course , they said , was to ! o bad off Sandy hook. The history or last week justifies them In saying that , since the inability " or the committee to cope with the mob o"f excursion steamers Is manifest - fest and admitted. What Is not justified nor justifiable Is the inference which theo papers have drawn from that fact. They chose to allege that the . spirit of fairness did not prevail here. The moro respectable and authoritative or the English journals contradicted them on this , point and did ample justco to us. Our : calumnlnlors are some or the sporting and , radical sheets-sporting papers or high posi- ton , but or a low order or morals and de- , void or civility ; the radical press acts after its own kind. Look for anti-American expressions - , pressions and It Is almost always In the I radical press that you will find them. They do not like Americans , nor American princi- pies nor American practice , nor American politics , nor , so far as I can see , anything that Is American. Heall tl ! Daily News and the Chronicle Ir you care to know the worst that Is said or America In F1ngland , the least ' true , the least friendly and the least Intel- \ " gent view , while the comments of other Eng- f Ish journals have ben for the most par appreciative and aympathetlc. ; TEMPORAL POWER OF THE POPE. The celebration or the twenty-fifth annl- t versary or _ Ialan independence Is an event : with which , a Americans , we may ! o per- mited to sympathize. Two reasons are alleged why we should not. One Is the pope and the permanent papal ] pretension to territorial - tonal sovereignty In Home. The pope goes I , to St. l'eler's to pray against the vandals , who keep him a "prisoner" In the Vatican , and , , American prelates join their prayer to his. The faithful nil over the worM are supposed t . also to join In these pious invocations . I doubt whether they all do. The pope , like other potentates , Incurs the fortunes or war The spiritual ] headship of the church Is one thing The civil and political authority which the occupant or St. I'oter's chair so long wielded over Roman territory Is another - other tblne. I Is not necessary to confuee ( 1 the two In order to ! e a good Catholic. The ' 5 pope a pope hu never been better obeyed , nor ever enforced Z more absolute jurisdiction - \ ton over the church and over the conscIences , ; or believers than lace the expulsion from his L : earthly kingdom We may be excused if , ' ' without the least intention or offense to him or to any good Catholic , wo think hc ought to be content with that. ' I Is , In any case , tOlerably clear that ho . ' , , \1 have to be content , and that t would be 11 , a disaster t Europe I he 119uld regain his " temporal power. I say nothing of the abuse t" 9f I In old days . Everybody 'mows ' to wht ' ' Clndab ecclesiastical rule In Rome gave rl"o i' Pope and church might well think them'elves r ! fortunate to escape these . The cOnlderatons which control the opinions and Iympathle or i Protestant Europe and Protestant America I arc tar brQa- er , naly baa become a great I naton apd - a aret power cnenUal to the jatjjjjjreajojjjjssejijtjhe peaCe or Europe She Is not , Indeed , I republic - public , and that I the second reason why , say her ill , wishers , we should not wish her well. She Is , however , a kingdom by the will or her own people , anti if she Is not a republic she Is none the leM a democracy. We may regret that abe docs not turn out her king and set up a president , but we must admit that her people are entitled to choose for themselves. I we undertake to choose for them we deny the fundamental doctrine or our own llemocrey. A republic Is at present impossible - possible In Italy. Her destiny depends on the stability or her monarchy , and her na- tOlla and political ] fortunes are bound up with those or the house or Savoy. I Is her Independenceher Fourth or July , her 1776 later. that she Is celebrating. ner 1789 will come FRANCE STILL AFTER ENGLAND. France continues her policy or accumulating grIevances against England , and has now round a new one In the English channel. Her policy irresistibly reminds you of that radical policy against the House or Lords , which went by the name or " 1"llng Up the Cup. " The radicals tried to rush through the House or Commons a great number or measures which they knew the House of Lords would reject , meaning them to say to the country "These are measures for your advantage which the Lords will not suffer you to have. " So France devises-the Irrepressible and extremely - tremely inventive M. Ianotaux devlses- cOnplalntB of English omissions and commis- sIons all & the globeIn Africa , and In three or tour different parts or Africa , In i Asia , and In still more numerous quarters . ' or that continent , In Europe , and , or course , In America , where Newfoundland Is one of her most promising possibilities. When the bundle has grown big enough It Is to be flung In the race or Christendom. The latest addition to It Is a claim for the lnquler Islands , heretofore supposed to form part or Jersey. All the channel Islands ovd which flies the English fag have long been an eyesore to France , and French war- ships cruise about them from time to time In I manner which English sailors and soldiers on duty In those parts think wilfully offensive - slvo and sometimes insulting. No particulars have yet ben published or these fresh French pretensions. They will ! e worth read- Ing when they make their appearance , Ir they ever do , In the form or a J'rencl foreign ofco dispatch. With us also the French foreign office has peculiar methods or dealing. A Paris paper , which has relations with the Qual d'Orsay was Instructed or allowed to say that the papers In the Wailer case having been examined - amined , proved that the United States had no ground or complaint and that Wailer was regularly and justly convicted. I took just twenty-rour hours to explain that unless the French authorities had misrepresented the facts the Wailer papers were still on their way from Madagascar and could not arrive for some weeks Meantime the story In the Steele docs the work It was meant to do ! y creating or confirming a prejudice against Mr Wailer and against the friendly government - mont , which has the presumption to wish to protect one or its own citizens all to ques- ton the infallibility or a French court mar- tiai. tal.NOTHNG NEW FRO TURKEY. There arc the usual contradictory assertions about \ Armenia . Tuesday's telegram from London assures us that Turkey has sub- inltted. W5nesday's declares that nothing Is known , or her submission at the English foreign office. The rivalry between compet- lug news agencies may have something to lo wih this confusion or testimony , but on the whole It Is safer to believe the denial Said an eminent English diplomatist : "I should ! e sorry to pledlct what Turkey would do In any given diplomatic emergency , but I there ! o a rational and honorable course clearly open' to her thaL Is the thing you may be certain she will not do.

Immediately after the acceptance or the Czarewltch stakes was pUlshe 6 to 1 was freely taken on Florlzel.

Since then he has attempted some species ot swind- ling upon nearly every well known American who has come to England. Ills career as a blackmailer was remarkable , his victims representing all ranks or society , from earls : to street walkers. lie claims that Governor Perkins or California Is his uncle. Among his achievements was getting posresslon of the title deeds or a farm In California from its owner , John Thompson , last year. This case attracted much attention - at the time.

( Cof'lshtei. IS5. hy Press lublshln Company , ) LONDON , Sept. 21.-New' ( York World CableSpecial Telegram.-It ) Is very significant - Icant that , with alt the Englishman's love for writing to newspapers , no one has ven- tuied to publicly traverse or crltclse Ad- miral Fitzgerald's letter In last Thursday's TImes , In which that eminent yachtsman and sailor so frankly declared that Lord Dun- raven has flagrantly violated all true laws or sport by disputing the decl lon of the com- mltee after It has been rendecd , and Ills additional statement hat Lord . . Dunraven's acton li giving the third race to Defe'.ider on a technicality was neither sportJmalle nor courteous. In my own convI'satos wLh Englishmen since I find that they nclro\\ I- edged the admiral's arguments In support or this conclusion are unanswerale. Much surprise Is expressed In yachting circles In London that Mr. Charles Hose should have challenged for the cup , since he has never been heretofore identified with yachting , and was believed to have rec.nlly lust a large part or his fortune . This rIort ) probably arose from the fact that recenly he sold his Plcadly house , but , I learn that he was the purchaser the other day of Mr. Clark's Sata- nlta , Vigilant and Drltanala's chief com- peter In the season or 18 : ) He means to enter her for the lIedlterrt : ? an races tlld winter.

The nglsh press has been disctissing pro- posed ranson or Rome , or which scheme I have given an outline , and the Chronlclo's Paris correspondent , In an elaborate tele gram , says that the project was orIginated by Cardinal Galimberti. He adds that It Is believed the suggestion met with the warm support or the American prelates and quotes , too , from the practical inauguration or the movement In favor ur an American pope in ] the end. ThE French press apparently has to con- tend against Influence from which Anglo- Saxon newspapers are happily rree. At the international congress this week , M . Iebrard or Lo Temps denounced the French government - mont for purloining press me sages. M. Hebrard slid that ho once received a special message or a victory In Tonquln , costing him $500. When the dispatch reached Paris It was shown to the prime minister , the minister or war and others , Ind acer pas lng from hand to hand , It was delivered to Temps after It had gone to press , but at 3 o'clock or the same morning It appaered In a Nantes paper , whose editor was the electoral agent or M. Waldeck Hosselu , who was at that Limo minister or the interior I was headed from "our specIal corresp ndent. " , ENGLISH IDEA OF BUSNESS. The Daly News prints a letter from a member from the Alpine dun , describing his visit to the scene or the great avalanche In Gemme Pass. I was on the morning acer the fatal disaster and the party was warned or the extreme danger or attempting to cross the vast landslide , since rocks were still falling. Nevertheless , they pressed forward The correspondent continues : "On reaching the top or the pass , In a quarter or an hour's stiff climb , we overtook an American , who had come up to see the avalanche He informed us , that some more ice was expected to come down and while lleclnlng to cross the pass himself , he tried with true American keenne for doing business 1- ness to persuade IS to Insure our lives with him for $1,000 , at a moderate premium. Declining his offer we left him struggling " . along on a mile. In sharp contradistinction to this , but In the same commercial spirit , they noticed "seven or eight stolid SWlzers , with large pipes In their mouths , calmly unearthing some burled cheese , as Ir nothing extraordln- ary had happened , and , Indeed , they seemed In no way Impressed with the scene around them.

LIEUTENANT l'I AlY l\CI AGAI . StclJcr Kite Sighted sit St Juhn" "lh All on hInrl. ST. JOHNS , N. F. , Sept. 21.-The Peary steamer has been slga\r \ off thIs port. All her lag are flying . indicatIng that Peary and friends are on board . The Kite aled from St. Johns July 1 for Peary's headquarters In Inglfle'd gulf , Grenland. On board lhe steamer were a company or scientists under the dlre ton ! of Emi Doltch , a brother of Mrs. I'ary . I- eluded In the unrulier were Pror. R. D. Sals- bury or Chicago unverlty : , PI or. L. L. Dyche or the Kansas Slate university , Theo- dora Lo Boutior or Phiadelphia and Dr. John E. Walsh or Washington. At the time or sailing hop was expressed that the part would bo back at St. JOhns by the end or September , and the arrival or the steamer today just1ed the expectation. On the arrival or the steamer Kite , Lieutenant - tenant Peary and lugh J , Leo , with his colored rYant , were , found safe on board sao They were round at Whale sound on August 3 , waiting for the Kite , and had only ten days previously returned from a great over- land expedition , which proved a comparative failurd . Independence bay , the most north- el n part ot Greenland , reached ! y the last ) ear's expedition , was reached early In June , but they were deterred from the great undertaking by insufficiency or 100(1. They were obliged on this account 10 abandon the attempt to make further progress. Nearly all the dogs perished and the remainder had to ! o shot , owing to the inability to provide them with anything to' eat The Kite met with splendid weather north and started to explore tt west ot Smith sound and traversed the whole coast , visiting Jones sound , Cape Sabine and Liteton island. Two meteorites or almost pure Iron wer taken aboard the Kite , but another weighing about forty tons they could not get on boud. Many sensational stories are current among the crew or the extremities to which Peary , Lee and Hensen were reduced. According to the stories , which the explorers decline to deny-they were al- most starved and were forced to eat seal and other refuse to keep alve , They started late In March on this jour- ney , and after reaching Independence bay were unable to proceed more than a few miles along the coast , just beyond their former stopping place. They reached the top or a mountain and were unable to proceed ' further on account or thl precipitous nature or the land. DurIng the frlp on unexpected contingency arose , owing to the fact that Lieutenant Peary was unable to locale his cache or last year. He was unable to discover - cover any marks IndicAtng It and was com- polled to continue his journey ] without the ample food and supplies which heIad reck- oned on. The three men , PearY L and Henson , went at once on short rat"ns , husbanding as much food as possible , 'bu before many days , their sufferings became Int&nse & and Lee broke down altogether The sttaln had been so great on him that It.b amo necessary to place him on a sledge , . which the other two drew. His Illness gave further cause ror' ' alarm , because or' ' the tact that adequate medical supplies were not on hand , and It was reared , during the frt stages , that he would die from exhaustion , but ho rallied , eventually. All three owe their lives to the shooting or eight musk oxen , but during the Journey they had to sacrifice the weaker dogs and feed the flesh to the others , for It was necessary to sustain some or the animals as long as possible to enable their supplies and Instruments to be brought along. Out or the sixty-nino dogs which started , only ono returned - turned alive , and al five sledges were abandoned - doned during the two days just prior to the return or the party to Anniversary lodge. Their safe return they looked upon as almost - most a miracle , as during their last two days hardly a particle or rood passed the mouths or any or them and th struggle to reach their hoe was one or ever Increlsng sur- rerlng When the relief ' , expedition reached Anniversary lodge the Peary party were shOlng marked evidence Dr their terrible experiences. Lieutenant Peary was extremely noncomm\talln regard to the expedition gen- eraly , and all or the party declined to express - press an opinion on the work done No . would they state what ' new discoveries have : been made. ' The Kite's cruise , after finding Peary was not prolific or results , or Ir It was , not much Is being saL of the nature or the discoveries.

( Coprlshte 1S ; . by thp Associated Press ) LONDON , Sept. 21.-Not for many years past has there been so much excitement on the London Stock exchange as 1S prevailed during the last few week I Is alleged I that more money Is made In Capel court now I than at any time In the history or the , Stoct exchange The speculation , which can only ' be described as wild , has been confined prin- cipaly to South African stocks , locally known as "The Kalrs , " Many young stock bro- kers , among them scions or noIlr : , who a few weeks ago had absolutely nothing , are now spending money with the utmost lavish- ness. The shops around Capel court , and especially those or the jewelers , are reaping a rich harvest In consequence. In connection with the bourn on the Stock exchange the Pal Mall Gazette Is printing a series or letters In whtch It has been al- leged that frightful ccrrupton ! reigns supreme - prmo In all the financial newspapers ot Lon- don and to a large extent In the financial col- umns or t'10 other papers or the city. One writer , who signed himself "AmerIcan , " and who says that he floated a numcr or big properties on the London Steck exchange , propcrtes says that with the exception of the great po- Ullca dailies or the city and one or two well known weeklies there Ig not a paper In London whose opinions cannot be purchased.
